I always get annoyed when people misinterpret Occam’s razor. It’s not that the simplest is more likely to be correct, it’s that you should prefer it, because it’s simple.
It’s just like the Hopper quote. She said it’s better to ask for forgiveness during the fog of war, doing something you thought was right, not to do something you knew they were going to say no to and now you are trying to get away with something.
That's not true. It's pretty clear that she meant "do something you knew they were going to say no to and now you are trying to get away with something."
Time to first detected slop in this article is <1s. Claudisms per paragraph is also very high.
Is it too much to ask from people to read their own article anymore? If anyone read this at all, they would have had the ick, and would have fired off a prompt to get rid of the most popular AI slop tells...
Ah, over-the-top larger-than-life LLM-isms, they are really funny when you see them in a company blog, but they are vomitive when it's your coworker copy-pasting it and insisting you on reading it.
I don't take issue with that. Attempting memorized pattern generalization through holdout / validation strategies is a big part of ML that you would not typically see with econometrics / psychometrics / possibly sabermetrics / most other -metrics. Philosophically the explain versus predict divide. https://www.stat.berkeley.edu/~aldous/157/Papers/shmueli.pdf
That's a bit pedantic no. Memorization in ML refers to the model having the wrong level of capacity such that it's too hard to optimise it such that it doesn't memorize the _training examples_ themselves.

Do the submitters really not notice that this is AI slop? Do they like this? It is a complete pain to read.
Well they memorize the patterns.
memorization doesnt mean rote learning.
