Pete decimates JD Dunce's no child, no commitment idiocy. What a weird idea:

"He said people who don’t have children—this is a quote, 'have no physical commitment to the future of this country'."
"When I was deployed to Afghanistan, I didn’t have kids back then, but I will tell you—especially when there was a rocket attack going on—my commitment to this country felt pretty physical."

@thomasfuchs andreessen was a lucky bugger while being an idiot. He remains an idiot,

@rysiek you're missing stochasticism

@rysiek in fact, it makes it significantly worse

@rysiek sure. Usual testing assumes determinism. When we run a test we get the same wrong answer until a bug is fixed. With stochastic code, the "right" answer is much harder to define. It is much easier in that case for wrongness to slip by. And it's really hard to get stochastic code into the very same state to find a bug (or watch it) twice. Believe me, my thesis code was non-deterministic and it was a pain in the ass to debug.

@rysiek Remember, we use ML (or should only use it) when we can't explicitly code HOW so we instead pile up the WHAT and make a machine become that.
