Isn't machine learning doing slightly different thing each time?

Yeah this is a bad meme. The whole point of machine learning is to do minutely different things over millions of generations to see differences and their effects. It's the exact opposite of doing the same thing and expecting different results. Machine learning is the summation of millions of differences.
I think the point is that it's the same (type of) computation or process over and over.
That doesn't really work. For example, driving is the same action. I do this action over and over again. However, I drive to vastly different destinations. I'm not in fact doing the same thing over and over even though the same action is being done.
Similarly an algorithm will give vastly different results based on the inputs I give it. Saying it's the same formula with different inputs would be very incorrect.
Listen, I identify with generation 1 here.
20 is how I end up
Or do the same thing in a very slightly different way each time until you accidentally discover a good enough way to do it?
Einstein did not say that
"Einstein definitely said that"
- Abraham Lincoln
"’Einstein definitely said that’", said Abraham Lincoln.”
– Roger Penrose
It's a misquote, but I'm in it for the memes.
yeah, it's an AA slogan, and a stupid self-contradictory one, too (like a lot of things in AA/NA). like, i guess i should never practice anything expecting to improve? so much for my piano lessons and weight training!
I flipped a coin and it came up heads. If I flip the same coin I should expect the same result apparently.
how dare you try, try again if at first you don't succeed! give up and let god!
Also, do the steps over and over again no matter how many times you relapse!
But if you're improving then you're not doing the same thing over and over, you're doing it different / better each time.
correct, here is source:
"I did not say that"
-- Albert Einstein
"Who would do that, who would go around on the internet spreading lies" -JFK 2008
I think you should repost it everyday slightly different until it is a good meme.
That's also the definition of practise.
Yeah, why should we have large sample sizes?

Strokes beard Pai mei style...
Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different resu1ts.
