Everyone's different, but as a programmer, I'd like more explaination of my psychiatrist's thought process on why they choose particular diagnosis and the medications they use. And preferably a decent bit of pharmacology and

So if nobody dies, how do we deal with evolution in the case that we need it. What about brain plasticity? Young brains learn new concepts well and use those experiences to create new ideas and innovations. We should try to fight aging, but

More time for science, art and entrepreneurship. Probably resulting in a lot more indie game devs (artists), but it could be worse.

Unsurprising. Normally, you at least have something like BLAS to do linear algebra work. It takes maybe 15 minutes in Python / numpy for something basic like a 2-layer net, but backpropegation is a little annoying to get right. Thus, t

A beautiful rainbow glimmering gently in the sky after a summer shower. What do you see? What do you smell? What do you hear? What does the landscape look like? What memory does this bring up? These are messages that the language is communi

The problem seems to be in understanding the overall meaning over long periods of time. We can understand general structure quite easily and a single sentence might make sense, but overall it never ends up cohesive or meaningful. Maybe we c

Recursion, formal languages, math, the general structure of things.

Maybe, but it does seem to cause trouble. I think of mine as requiring an attention threshold to be passed for me to switch tasks; the cost gets higher if what I'm doing is interesting to me (often more interesting than eating, which i

At one point in my college life I decided I wanted to actually learn material that seemed important. Attempting to do this lead to an extroidinary depression; the professors often don't care and the system itself is fairly inefficient.

Cultural separation due to lack of communication and transit.

I can certainly relate to having grown up on the internet (I've said it myself before). It's sort of sad to see where I grew up become more of a marketplace than social center.

8 seems like a pretty reasonable number. It was much lower before that...

People justify things after having already made the decision (often unconsciously). Sorry!

University of Texas used to do this. They still might. Djikstra wrote a bit of a letter about it once.

Why can't they be brilliant and have no interest in harnessing that amount of energy for whatever purpose.

I assume it means he's been playing with quantum algorithms lately.

The last 2-3 years of progress have come about a decade earlier than most people expected. Many people have some catching up to do in determining exactly where we are. Do we have general intelligence? No, but we have audio generation from p

Protocals that are intentionally crippled by requiring a block chain action are not helpful. These aren't things that need to be monetized; that might even bias the protocols into being bad for users and developers.

I'll weigh in; papers aren't necessarily worded to convey new information in an ideal manner (especially to newbies). They are worded so that expert researchers are able to reproduce them, especially the parts that constitute what

I didn't quite have this experience in my engineering math courses. Admittedly, the other math courses were much better about this.

While I'm pleased about many open source projects, SaaS and the rise of big data seem to have shifted it from primarily benefitting the user to benefitting corporate interests significantly more often. I still believe that open source

Scala loses a lot of the guarantees that Haskell has and I find that Scala programmers often use it in a way that feels more like nicer Java as opposed to functional style. The tooling is amazing though.

Photoshop is getting less convenient to pirate; I'm starting to see more and more people who have grown up using gimp and have no desire to switch to Photoshop.

In my opinion, this is basically every commercial or advertising I've ever seen. Emotional arguments damage my ability to make good decisions. Unfortunately, I can't sue.

Anyone here doing HTC vive dev? I'm really interested myself, but as a poor student I'll settle for hearing other's stories.

My webcam doesn't work in Linux; and you won't find me programming in Windows under ordinary conditions. I guess I can't work at amazon?

Since it's PhDs you're after, maybe you could offer something along the lines of a small lab that they can pursue their own projects in for 1-2 days a week and establish that you encourage them to publish research.

I guessed, but didn't mention it since it seemed somewhat unlikely that you would have more or better data than Facebook/Google/Etc.
