      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.

          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.

      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.

        But if you’re improving then you’re not doing the same thing over and over, you’re doing it different / better each time.
