tl;dr: Machine learning seeks patterns in data. However, artificial intelligence can be 'biased' — that is, it may find incorrect patterns. For example, a skin cancer detection system might pay special attention to images taken in a doctor's office. Machine learning doesn't understand: its algorithms only identify patterns in numbers, and if the data is not representative, that will be […]

So, what are we celebrating? To understand it correctly, we need to take at least a distant look at the history of the issue. Even for a superficial but correct understanding, we need to find the original source. I wouldn't want […]

The new revamped search should significantly […]
In the 20th century, people's lives and work followed a plan. At work (simplifying — you can imagine a factory), people had a clear plan for the week, the month, and the year ahead. Simplistically: you need to manufacture 20 parts. No one will come and say that now you need to manufacture 37 parts, and besides, write an article reflecting on […]
I have probably tried to systematically manage tasks about 20-25 times. Each attempt failed, as I now understand, for two reasons. Firstly, to allocate time for task management, one must understand why it is done. You start managing tasks, spend time on it, complete fewer tasks, and all this starts to pile up — for what purpose? Any work is difficult […]
