I never said the other three don't have to watch out for one another, but pedestrians do have right of way so it's much easier to strike out into an intersection. Bikers believe they do which makes the cars play defense more often. In other words, cars need to make sure the bikes, the pedestrians, and the streetcars and buses have passed before they can make a move. This is a bit more of a pain then walking. Yes driving is a choice - but when you make the choice, it still is a challenge to get anywhere in the city.

These are all really good points. I can't say much for European cities but I hear they're nice. Are there many of them in which interstates go through the center of them? I wonder if traffic coming off of the freeway puts drivers more on edge... are european drivers more patient?

We live in a pretty old city - and over time it's gotten a lot of band aids to support new forms of transportation and that is the most amazing thing I can say about this city. let's all try to remember how wonderful it is to be able to bike, walk, ride a train and drive in this city. That being said - it's a fucking mess out there. Taxi's stop in the middle of a 40mph zone, cars barely obey any laws b/c they're barraged with having to watch for 3 other modes of transportation, the bikers sometimes have a lane, sometimes don't, sometimes feel it is too dangerous to obey the law (I'm thinking memorial in cambridge - who would ride your bike on that ! ).. the only ones who seem to obey the law are the trains. It's shitty but I don't know if it's going to get any better given we're living on landfill in a centuries old city

Did you read the paper or just the conclusion? He is basically rejecting a lot of the past "deep" approaches to A.I. in favor of Google style "all you need is big data". Anyway, it's beside the point, Norvig != AI God... in fact I think there are plenty of other A.I. guys that deserve a significant more amount of respect.

then google doesn't do AI. I'd actually even argue that based on their own products (no pagerank is not AI)

Machine Learning is not AI. You have a background in Cog. Sci. - make sure you keep your head straight when you apply to programs about what you're getting yourself in to. Machine Learning is hot right now for reasons that have nothing to do with intelligence.

Separate flame war - Anyone else over the Andrew Ng and Peter Norvig worship? Can we start calling them fanboys yet? There are plenty of other AI contributors in the world who deserve credit. Does this have to do with the fact that their student base is now the size of a small city?

glitch83 on The Object Recognition problem.

2012-01-05T15:26:15.213158-07:00-0700

I firmly believe that object recognition will require AI to come back together before it is "solved" - Learning, Planning, Common-sense, Vision, Language, etc. I think the reason it's a "problem" is that it gets at the fact that there aren't many people who are thinking big enough yet. Honest challenge to the field - read some literature in a tangential AI field and get some inspiration. Time to bring it all back together :-P

grad student or undergrad? Grad student advice is to ask around about the personality of the prof you're interviewing with. If the prof wants you, then you are gold, nothing else matters. Some profs value statistics and will ask you stats questions for 2 hours, some will just talk to you and get a reading whether or not you're a good team member. Some will grill you for no reason than just to see how you squirm under pressure. Dunno about undergrad interviews though...
