  • I once consulted my aunt (PHD English professor) for a small stakes bet ($5) because a friend and I were discussing whether or not letters have any fundamental rules on how they are written.

    Turns out, no, they don’t. I.E. if I write: Hello there, ¥¶®×°∆| Kenobi. As long as ¶®×°∆|" is understood as “General” than according to (american) English it is written “correctly”. There’s no edict that states a " T" must be written in that shape, therefore, any symbol that’s understood intent wise is correct.

    I lost that bet, cause WTF, how is that acceptable??

    A lot of new tech is not as efficient or equally so at the get go. Learning how to properly implement and utilize it is part of the process.

    Right now we are just throwing raw computing power in ML format at it. As soon as it catches and shows a little promise in an area we can focus and refine. Sometimes you need to use the shotgun to see the rabbits ya know?
