Old post and off topic, but it's kind-of my area and nope, not really.
The difference between supervised and unsupervised ML is that in supervised learning you basically give the algorithm a bunch of examples of what correct behavior looks like for your specific problem. You might do that in advance, eg if you've got a neural network that's designed for image classification and you need to separate pictures of dogs from pictures of birds, you'd have to start off by giving it a bunch of labelled examples of each class of picture to "train" the network, or you might do it "interactively", eg if you've got a recommendation system for your online shop then you tell it that it made the right decision if the customer actually buys the thing that it recommended.
Unsupervised basically just means that the user of the algorithm doesn't have to give large numbers of examples of what correct behavior is for their application - the algorithm just cranks through its standard steps with the new dataset to do the thing that its meant to do, and the steps and the thing are often pretty prosaic and predictable, eg trying to group a bunch of things into clusters of similar items, or finding parameters for a statistical model to match the data as closely as possible.
Sure, I agree with you. I do however think the conspiracy theorist knows that what they are saying is absurd, they know that they can keep redefining their terms, they know they can accuse people whilst retaining their belief. The trick is to play total football a la 70s ajax, get to the bottom of the appeal of such thinking. Because it does have an appeal, and for me, that appeal itself needs to be attacked more than the theories as such.
Not with you, sure. In the middle east this shit has dangerous consequences.
With you it's merely just you being a goth.
Luke's a free and liberated poet, dont you know, nothing has consequences. To acknowledge consequences would spoil the game.
Love that Satre quote, that's amazing.
Not going to spend all Saturday night on here but that was great. Laters haters.
I mean I like I can talk to luke about politics without having to convince him tbh. It's not a nice position to be in this country where most middle class people look at you like a political reservoir that can be drained and then tossed aside. You don't have this double consciousness, cos you're not an immigrant (at least not 1st/2nd gen) but it often does feel dehumanising, and it's not just something that comes from the statist left but the british class system per se.

Similar things going on with the Fed's FOMC, namely potential conflict of interest investments being made, some being more blatant than others I'd presume.
Yeah fair dos. I've just been pointing out some of the underlying motivations I can see behind conspiracism in this thread.
I know what you mean about politics just using minorities in this country.
I don't have that felt perception of being differently raced no, even though I am (well half of me is) - 'cos I look so white I have to consciously think myself into that perspective tbh, though I do think that gives me a sense of not fully fitting in or not identifying with class and social structures in the same way as someone from a different background might do. But I think this is true of near everyone to one degree or another.
