Machine Learning Can't Handle Long-Term Time-Series Data - LessWrong 2.0

This may come as a surprise because computers seem like they can understand time series data. After all, aren't self-driving cars, AlphaStar and recurrent neural networks all evidence that today's ML can handle time series data? Self-driving cars use a hybrid of ML and procedural programming. ML (statistical programming) handles the low-level stuff like recognizing pedestrians. Procedural (nonstatistical) programming handles high-level stuff like navigation.
