As a complete layman, I think cause and effect are backwards here. Specifically that the hyper networks will be the forcing function and generate ever better models which will eventually reproduce self adaptation and evolution. Instead, I i

Yes, but you've removed the feedback loop that allows a student to adjust their output to accommodate their grader's wishes.

Because you do seem genuine I will describe why I find this discussion to be in bad faith . You rarely (if ever) grant a charitable interpretation to my statements. You (almost?) always extrapolate my comments to the most extreme and wea

I'm not able to respond to your below point. I understand why you jumped to the crack/cocaine disparity. In response if like to surface three points 1) it seems unlikely (although I don't have/know data) that a 10% popul

Sure. Explain selective enforcement of drug policy and the subsequent imprisonment of a huge fraction of Americans who happen to be black on those charges. How does that not fall under "silencing people the right do not like".

Yes, the "vague idea anyone can attach meaning to" is often an intentional aspect of these movements to gather larger support. Its also easy to subsequently exploit and I think the venerable CIA handbook from the ~60s goes into de

The places AI excel still have very rigid rules with relatively low branching factors. It's also relatively easy to score both the final result and any intermediate stage. And all the training techniques rely on those factors tremendou

The approach fails miserably when taken in aggregate. I would read five to ten papers from my own field a week while in grad school. If I had to do the analysis for myself as well there wouldn't be any time to do my own research. Add o

I think perhaps we are in (majority) agreement. My primary point is that g&t programs in the k-8 range don't look anything like what you describe. What you describe also happens, its just not called a gifted and talented program

by Misdicorl 5y ago
Well, perhaps this is true. I wonder how well it would work in a k-8 setting. I've never seen it implemented there like that. Edit: I can think of a situation where I attended a different grade's math class. That was completely se

"being cooler" is a really disingenuous way to phrase the upside benefit. It would be as if I said "so you have to take into calc in college. What a bummer!" to sum up the advantages of the g&t program

Thats the "official" G&T program statistic. I don't know anything about the requirements to be on that list, but perhaps it is onerous? My claim (unsupported) is there are plenty of schools that run G&T programs that

This will be an interesting way to burn karma. Consider that a gifted and talented program is maybe not the best option for your daughter. Not because she isn't capable. Because gifted and talented programs, especially for the very you

Perhaps it's a failure in this communication mode. It seems to be that you've argued yourself down a garden path. From my understanding your statements are A) using incorrect concepts (moment in time? A 15 minute infection window

I appreciate you clarifying your reasoning. I think it's straight up crazy/magical reasoning. But to be honest I don't have much more confidence in my own conjectures on this matter.

You can't have it both ways. Either simple cloth is not good at filtering the virus, and therefore we shouldn't care about retransmit risk from "trapped" virus. Or it is good at blocking them (like an n95) and you can st

I think you are likely making up the exposure risk based on "conventional" wisdom. I imagine the actual efficacy gain of a simple cloth mask has nothing to do with "trapping" virus particles. My guess for where the act
