ribbit a gay.
Anyone can use Google and make a Reddit post.
all those discussions are pseudo-intellectual & shallow and they never go deep in the subject though. it's just faux intellectualism for the sake of feeling intelligent and trying to impress fat chicks throwing buzzwords around.
But their sections are shit. Not the /g/ is much better but the Reddit has a lot of problems after becoming the biggest forum in the world.
>>61312249
Go back.

how is this pseudo intellectual, you dumb friend?
>I am really surprised that I haven't seen more Hessian-free optimization (HFO) around, even though it seems like it's all-around better than gradient descent (except that it's more difficult to implement).
>the gradients and log-likelihoods were computed using the entire dataset. - makes it quite non-scalable.
>When close to the optimal second order methods behave sometimes even worse than first order because the signal to noise ratio becomes very small and that is amplified from the estimation of second derivatives.
>In the SGD regime, second-order methods don't offer exponential speedups, that is typical in the canonical optimization setting.

Plebbit is shit, people tout it's one million boards or whatever they call them there but ignore the damage that level of fracturing does to the communities involved, how is anyone even supposed to find interesting new boards on that site? Completely ignoring how genuinely cancerous and regressive their le upboat system is.

>how is this pseudo intellectual, you dumb friend?
those you listed are all data already available, looks like you got triggered because your real intellect level got exposed.
>>61312329
>damage that level of fracturing does to the communities involved
This is the best way to kill the shitposting.
>>61312350
no shit, i'm quoting from a reddit thread, you dumb friend. sure, all that info is readily available, but then anything is readily available and there wouldn't be any reason to discuss anything.
dumb friend.
>>61312372
Then you're just left with dedicated shiposting boards on there that are some of the most cringe inducing circlejerks on the internet.
>>61312385
keep making me dumb until you feel our intellects are equal, mr. insecurity complex.
>>61312408
which is completely fine, because you don't have to read them.
on 4chan, shitposting is interspersed with good content (which is a small minority), so ribbit wins on this front.
>>61312408
>hey they are putting the garbage in the trash bin
If the /v/ stay on /v/ and /pol/ stay on /pol/ the things would be better here.
>>61312249
Well I have to support you on that
/g/ has turned into a shit hole, microcontroller threads barely last a few hours with 20 replies max, while GPU1vsGPU2 threads last forever. Don't even get me started on Nvidia vs AMD vs Intel and MacOS vs windows vs linux threads
>>61312432
If it is so great, why are you here?
>>61312652
that doesn't have anything to do with the arguments in here, but the pros of /g/ is that i can laugh at retards
you technically can in reddit too, except in very technical and niche subs, retards get called out and buried immediately, so it's not as fun
>>61312479
Yep, this place is a lost cause for actual technical shit. I still come here, but if you want to talk about actual tech beyond idiotic gaymer shit than reddit is a good option these days.
Try to make a topic on anything interesting here, microcontrollers, radio, etc and you'll get more or less no replies because the kids are too stupid for it.

>his only alternative to 4chan is plebbit
>not one of the alternative chans
How to out yourself as a newfag: the posts.
>>61312768
The other chans have all the same fucking problems, but to a lesser extent. The extremely fractured community of reddit and highly specific boards is a feature, not a bug.
>>61312768
>alternative chans
that would be a reasonable point if this discussion involved alternative chans, but it doesn't
>>61312432
>shitposting is interspersed with good content
no, that's WHY 4chan is better. Shitposting is a feature.
>>61312802
A niche community is better than retard community even the niche community is about retards
>>61312848
Shut up, applefag.
>>61312249
reddit is good if you just want to read the current groupthink agreed upon gist of stuff
it is absolute shit if you are actually trying to discuss or post things
>>61312999
>A niche community is better than retard community even the niche community is about retards
which is literally what plebbit offers.
>>61313033
>new an account and nickname to posting
This is the biggest flaw.
>>61313086
I agree. User names are a cancer on a site like reddit and they would be here too if we had to have them.
>>61312298
And the discussion here doesn't?
I mean, I agree that the threads over <there> aren't great, but the ones here are just as bad.
4chan would be a lot better if the plebbit faggots would go back to plebbit.
