Не понимаю всеобщей любви к A Pattern Language, но взялся за Notes on the Synthesis of Form - о том, почему теоретизация так часто доводит до слепоты (якобы в архитектуре и дизайне, но конечно же не только). Прекрасная и все еще недооцененная. Шизотизер:
I was doing an experiment on CIFAR with a tiny model that had 93% accuracy, having Karpathy's human baseline of 94% in mind. But it didn't look so good, so I reran the 400 image manual eval myself and got 97%. It does make a difference since most models are 94%-96%.
