Understanding Machine Learning: Its Potential and Limitations in Different Industries

Machine learning is an exciting and rapidly growing field of artificial intelligence that has the potential to revolutionize the way we approach a wide range of problems. It allows computers to learn from data and improve their performance over time, without being explicitly programmed. Machine learning algorithms can recognize patterns in large datasets and provide insights that would be…

it’s very funny to me that dnp are now perfectly comfortable saying ph*n while phannies are doing everything in our power to scrub the word ph*n from existence despite it being our foundation.

what do you mean ph*n is in the word phannie?? no it isn’t?? there are literally no letters in common?? you’re delusional??

ph*n?? you mean dnp?? the only term we have ever used to refer to dan and phil collectively?? how do you even get ph*n from dan and phil like those names together are dil and dil ALREADY EXISTS, IDIOT!! HE’S A SIMS CHARACTER!! WE CANT HAVE TWO DILS ARE YOU MAD??

phandom?? wh- actually no we can’t run from that one. that’s us, present and accounted for, your honour 🫡

my professor is so fucking nice i dont want to drop this class but i cant take the coursework 😭😭😭😭

all of my academic stances are radically open-ended takes that would kill a mid-century theorist. yeah anything can be culture you cannot meaningfully define culture without excluding some aspect of the human experience. human nature is also a fake construct. also species are a construct and collapse is not only inevitable but integral, simply part of the process of change rather the beginning or end of it

people who have a phd or have been in close proximity to a phd program: would it be weird to ask somebody who was a mentor but also a personal friend before they became a faculty member at a different university to be your “external” committee member. like as in someone who has always been a mentor but also you’ve gotten kinda drunk with them . asking for a friend

i'm a firm believer in always listing a scholar's full first and last name in citations for several other reasons, but my newest one is that there are two different academics named a. duncan currently working on ancient performance and i can already sense the grief this is going to cause for me

sometimes i get worried im not in the right academic field and then i think about another form of discourse analysis to dig into and i get all excited again

[horsemage]

I’m about to be writing my senior thesis and a paper on my research simultaneously and I just know it’s going to be a nightmare keeping the two separate

[quatregats]

Autistic as hell to be a linguistic anthropologist. What are you studying the social life of language for? To figure out how to talk like a "normal" person?

Why do people always ask about applications of mathematics, but only rarely about applications of other sciences?

I guess that at times applications are obvious, but often they are not, yet still they are in my experience met with less scrutiny (from the public, funding is a different discussion alltogether), even though math has an increibly good track record.

I'm trying to wrangle people together for my doctoral committee, and I met with two people about it this week and when I explained what my dissertation is going to be about, BOTH guys were like "I really like this idea, you have a great approach laid out so far, I'm excited to see where this goes"

And I'm just sitting there, internally just beaming and surprised that it can't be seen from space

anyone who posts a complicated code library for a specific purpose on a public github and doesn't add any documentation whatsoever should be violently ostracized from society
