You also write that Turing's work "paved the way for modern general computers." According to the text, however, this practical part really started with Konrad Zuse's patent application of 1936: "The formal models of

You write that he is "trying to say that Turing did nothing new, his work is a mere extension of Godel's (!), and he only accounted for practical computational reality. That is not true." However, Schmidhuber's text on G

Very promising, although the jury is still out: "The new paper is 77 pages long, and it will take time for mathematicians to check it carefully. But many feel optimistic that it is correct. “It really looks the way a proof of this resu

But what is the fastest known UNBOUND star that does NOT orbit a black hole? As of November 2019, it was S5-HVS1. Its speed is over 1,700 km/s or 1,056 mi/s. That's about 0.57% of light speed. S5-HVS1 will be flicked out of t

1. Schmidhuber's Sec. XVIII points out that the basic convnet architecture with convolutional and downsampling layers is actually due to Fukushima (1979). In 1987, NNs with convolutions were combined by Waibel with weight sharing and b

I agree. It’s about accomplishments. And let's not forget the accomplishments of the other pioneers: Lainnainmaa, the inventor of backpropagation 1970. Ivakhnenko, the inventor of the first deep learning networks that learn internal re

But Hinton also republished lots of stuff first published by Schmidhuber, without citing it. See Sec. XVII (5-8), I, II. Hinton also used methods invented by other authors without citation. Same for LeCun. See Sec. XII, XIX, XXI, XVIII. One

Schmidhuber's critique has over 200 references. I have spent several hours on verifying them. It helped that I already knew many of his papers and earlier posts i.e. "Deep Learning: Our Miraculous Year 1990-1991" http:/

Many disagree with this. Others defend such ads, claiming that the process of blind peer review is broken anyway.

Many don't believe that the rather unimpressive 'Salvator Mundi' was painted by Leonardo. Nevertheless, it sold for 450 million bucks. His most famous paintings such as the Mona Lisa might bring hundreds of billions if they w

It would become very hot indeed. But that does not necessarily imply a runaway explosion. Just like the center of the sun won't explode anytime soon. Nevertheless, I'll take the much cooler model with only 10^44 operations per sec

There is even more room at the top. The physical limits are as follows. A computer "with a mass of one kilogram confined to a volume of a liter" can perform at most 2:71 * 10^50 operations per second on 2.13*10^31 bits. See: Lloyd
