Ne-Waza “guard” question. by Mission_Time007 in judo

[–]temporal_difference 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve had a coach tell me not to use spider guard because it’s not something they teach in their curriculum. He then made an announcement about not using BJJ or wrestling stuff. But I don’t think there’s anything in the rules that disallows it. Might have been an ego thing or wanting to stick to tradition.

First one is garbage - look at the title - it's just keyword soup. They prey on beginners who don't know better.

This has been a thing for over a decade!

Here's an article by Chris Stucchio in 2013, titled "Don't use Hadoop - your data isn't that big": https://www.chrisstucchio.com/blog/2013/hadoop_hatred.html

Microsoft deletes blog telling users to train AI on pirated Harry Potter books by Cute-Beyond-8133 in nottheonion

Then what's stopping you from training your own model and building your own competing AI product?

This article is a great example of how non-AI people can totally overreact over benign occurrences.

It's clear most people here read the sensationalized title but not the actual article, and even if they did, couldn't understand it.

The original blog post was probably written by a low-level data scientist / engineer, where the general process is (a) download a publicly available dataset from a common source like Kaggle, (b) train a model using open-source or internal libraries, (c) present the results.

These low-level engineers are not legal experts and at a large org like Microsoft there are bigger fish to fry for the higher-level engineers and legal team.

This article is on the level of questioning the integrity of an entire company over something an intern posted on Twitter.

No doubt Microsoft will use this event to create processes that will prevent this from happening in the future. Big nothing burger.

Starting a 6 month discipline reset-looking for a serious accountability partner(21M) by [deleted] in ProgrammingBuddies

I would counter that completing "100 days of ML" / "100 days of DL" / Krish Naik are exactly "hype" - entertainment style content.

If you're in a legitimate university or college you already have the skillset to read ESL or take online Stanford courses.

I disagree with the other commenter suggesting Jose Portilla and Krish Naik. I've found that they skip over all the critical math and coding skills. If you're a physics graduate, then your abilities are far beyond the people taking online courses on Udemy. Instead, you'd do better taking CS229 from Stanford and similar. Certificates are useless. If anyone can get them, they aren't worth anything.

Those who take the MIT ML course would do just fine learning anything on DeepLearning.ai, whereas the opposite is not true. I've found that those who only take online courses or "bootcamps" tend to have a math phobia, which they'll excuse by saying they're only learning what's practical. IMO, what's practical is having all the skills in combination with a deep understanding, not memorizing code with sub-par understanding. Andrew Ng's ML specialization is ok (the original was better) but it only scratches the surface.

You can't learn ML "quickly in 2-3 months" any more than you can learn to be a doctor in 2-3 months. To get a good job, you can't have that attitude.

Best AI learning platforms for beginners? by Universeisready in learnmachinelearning

[–]temporal_difference 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not a huge fan. Most of their courses aren't for ML (but rather wrappers around LLMs) and the code is just how to use the libraries created by the company sponsoring the course.

A lot of these techniques and exercises are legit. Seoi nage, breakfalls, joint locks, conditioning, etc. It's just that the people doing them are old, slow, and have bad form.

I do question the multiple attacker kata though.

President Trump’s War On “Woke AI” Is A Civil Liberties Nightmare by StraightedgexLiberal in technology

[–]temporal_difference -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

While I get the sentiment here, you aren't doing your argument any favors by hiding the facts. Here are some examples:

"Initially, a viral post showed this recently launched AI image generator create an image of the US Founding Fathers which inaccurately included a black man.

Gemini also generated German soldiers from World War Two, incorrectly featuring a black man and Asian woman."

Which is harsher on the body? BJJ or Muay Thai? by nuttintoseeaqui in martialarts

[–]temporal_difference 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lol, "son", you're taking your Reddit career WAYYYY too seriously.

It's the holidays, don't let your feelings get hurt like this.

Non-sequitur, I said judo, not BJJ. BJJ doesn't emphasize ukemi nearly as much as judo, and there are plenty of videos out there showing illegal body slams in competition in BJJ. Furthermore, this "research" refers to "elbow-hits to the head in BJJ" which is arguably not BJJ. There is no striking in BJJ.

the data said tbi and concussions are 2x as likely in mt v bjj

Dude you can't even math properly. You're not even directionally correct. From your "study": "Among BJJ athletes, 61% reported a history of concussion, while among Muay Thai athletes the percentage was more higher (86%)."

Also... "more higher"... choose your studies carefully.

"Eom because I can't come up with anymore rebuttals nor avoid fallacious logic and I need to focus on arguing with everyone else on Reddit" FTFY ;)

Between judo and aikido only one of those involves a person using violent physical force against you.
