  • and the seed lottery. You can see this if you try training a simple network with two inputs to learn xor. It can converge in multiple ways, and sometimes it converges to a really bad approximation. And sometimes it doesn’t converge at all (or it converges so slowly that it might as well be considered not to converge). And even then it might still converge to an approximation that’s more accurate on one side of the input space than the other. Tons of ways to get an undesirable result. For a simple 2-input network.

    Imagine how unlikely it is for txese models to actually converge to the optimal thing. And how often the training is for nothing.



  • the windows just works argument actually refers to the fact that it’s consistent.

    If you have a problem with the desktop, nobody needs to ask you which de you use, or which parts you have substituted out. You have a graphics problem, nobody asks if wayland or x11. You have a problem with audio, nobody asks you whether you have pipewire-pulse installed and to use pipewire. Shit’s the same everywhere.

    I say this as an arch linux user. The choice we all love, is actually a detriment to the average non-power user.
