Which book would you recommend instead? AI: A Modern Approach by Russell and Norvig?

That's correct, I accidentally copied my initial (and wrong) Google query into the title. I can't change the title now, however, even though it's only 40 minutes ago that I submitted it. I think the admins locked the title af

Excuse my curiosity but I got to ask how you experience browsing Hacker News accessibility wise. Can you make out the tree-like ordering of the comments? Can you see that comments are light-grey when they have many downvotes?

There are a couple of things that seem incoherent, but maybe I'm missing something: - Is the only reason why he touches upon the limits of computation and computing efficiency that it secures distributed hash tables and that there is s

Does anyone know whether it's possible to add keys for undo/redo functions? I find the shaking gesture extremely inconvenient, especially on iPads.

Do you have a source for that? The last time I checked this worked with mice, but humans showed no insulin response from sweet taste alone.

No. Geometric intuition is widely believed to be only a very rudimentary native skill. There appear to be structures in our brain that allow us to think spatially [1], but infants are generally unable to perform even very simple geometric r

But isn't there about as much infrastructure in 2-dimensional geometry? There are 5 Euclidean axioms and you probably need some topological axioms too for the notion of neighborhoods and space-filling tilings. As for prime numbers you

I don't find it overly surprising. There are many simple calculation specifications which exhibit chaotic behavior, such as prime numbers and rule 110.

Yeah, the mainstream will probably never get the distinction between mathematics and arithmetics straight.

Warning. That is the same guy whose TED talk was banned because it supported the consumption of DMT (N,N-Dimethyltryptamine) and made several rather unscientific claims: http://blog.ted.com/2013/03/19/the-deba

Off-topic: Why do these kind of websites always have a stock price next to brand names? Is this useful Information? It looks a little bit scammy.

Of course not. However, I would have guessed that the 3-dimensional structure of the brain would still have higher information density compared to 2-dimensional IC's (+ wiring + heat regulation) by some orders of magnitude. But I guess

Isn't there still the problem that storing hydrogen is impractical?

Amazing, that is 320 GB/cm^3. I didn't know that we have possibly already passed the information density of the human brain (~80 GB/cm^3).

Is there maybe an archive website dedicated to these kind of stories?

That would be still an extreme skew, wouldn't it?

Nature of Code by Shiffman may be a good fit. I haven't read it yet though, maybe someone else can say something about it.

Maybe the redundancy offers an evolutionary advantage?

(1) The iPhone 6+ has 421 dots per inch, which is in the lower ballpark of printing resolutions where you don't have pixel perfection either. It's not going to be a problem.
