\n<_joshua<\/a>> Sadly most of the advances in neural network stuff was merely reimplementing statistics invented in the 1950’s
\n<rojisan<\/a>> how strange that it should take that many years for knowledge to cross communications barriers between fields
\n<rojisan<\/a>> it’s as if those poor bastards spent all their time picking each others nits and never noticed the other monkeys across the river
\n<morphex<\/a>> somebody should teach more monkeys the game of connect-the-dots
\n<_joshua<\/a>> computer science loves reinventing things
\n<ClosedGL<\/a>> i think it is true in all fields where people don’t do their research properly. I think the open source movement, or rather the philosphy of code reuse might exactly break the exception; where implemented.
\n<rojisan<\/a>> i have too much spam to dig through to really make the point, but there’s a hecklebot implication here, and something about out-of-hand rejection of unfamiliar ideas, or those ideas that are not presented in the preferred terminology
\n<crysflame<\/a>> hm, i wonder if that’s a known bug in being strict about terminology, discussion paths, etc. you keep away the ignorant, but you lose the crossbreeding that helps your field, to some extent.
\n<rojisan<\/a>> ah. excellent. crysflame can carry the torch for me while i continue my disaster recovery<\/p>\n
