Recently, I've discarded all 'principle-based' attempts at self-improvement and replaced it with a single approach: I start with "The human mind is a neural network, therefore..."
I find that most changes are a matter of the size and strength of the training dataset. Either you have to go through a lot of repetition, or a few incidents immediately followed by major negative or positive reinforcements.
It works.
- wz1000 9y agoNeural networks as are trendy in ML today have little or nothing to do with the neurons in the human brain.
- happycube 9y agoYup... I'm increasingly thinking of them as matrix machines. Pity the movies redefined that word to the general public ;)
- RobertRoberts 9y agoWell I think that's great. I agree that where the rubber hits the road, it's a simple decision, left or right, up or down, yes or no. All problems come down to a binary point in time if you distil the effects and events down enough. Making the decision that will change your course or keep it the same isn't physically easy, which is why I think so many people get emotional over this discussion.
