isn't that pretty face value what Numenta's goal is though? They read research papers on neuroscience and try to distill it down to applicable engineering problems for their HTM and see what works. i can't speak much as to th

yeah, good point. have you heard of the podcast Making Coffee by Lucia Solis? it's really good on the topic of coffee fermentation, and she addresses those fruit compounds in particular because it's considered a defect in wine but

tasting notes don't have to be pretentious, they are about distinguishing coffees when tasted side by side -- not for going deep into the made-up subtleties about what minute flavors are present if you brew a single cup. usually they a

very cool, i am going to check this out. we are converting our own yard to small scale farm / aquaponic system, and automating it is something i would love to do!

yep we desperately need to move past such shallow aesthetic preferences

they are unnecessary excess. guess what, ya don't need a goddamned cut grass lawn. we are putting in ponds and forest gardens starting next year. no more yard. downvote away, but these are exactly the kind of austerity measures require

your family might not be on our human plane of conciousness but, a family might make decisions to prolong it's lifespan and reproduce itself. like the parts of our bodies, stomach, brain, eyes work to achieve these goals for ourselves,

the paper postulates that "reward is enough" but what is the alternative? rewards plus what? the "cybernetic feedback loop" aka reinforcement learning has kinda always been the idea, no? i believe that architecture is im

and our intelligence is quite good at confabulating optimization functions for abstract processes that are inert. pretty amazing, really.

seriously though, i legitimately believe this. prices for stuff has gotten way out of hand and i am seriously scaling back expectations of speed and searching for a lot of used/second hand stuff.

yeah i think we are in agreement about current methods. i guess my real hypothesis is that there are more people than ever looking at AI. we don't have the right algorithm or framework yet, and currently models probably wont iterate to

i think we agree on that point?

philosophers have been doing that for millenia. some have made material changes to society, and others haven't. some have questioned the validity of "material change" being a good metric in the first place. personally, i beli
