This question isn't silly! People have actually trained neural networks to generate other neural networks. The "designer" network is trained using reinforcement learning, with a reward signal that depends on the efficacy of t

IIRC from reading papers, there seems to be a dose-response effect, both w.r.t intensity and match to peak sensitive wavelength (~465nm). Even green light has some effect. Avoiding blue light at night after you go to sleep is definitely a

> we needed first to find the right sense for each word in a phrase and only then assign the vector Interesting! I wonder if you could you e.g. arbitrarily split a word into some number of symbols, e.g. two, and each time you're goi

This looks really nice! Are there any largish examples written with sweet-expressions? (Seeing large chunks of code could help with forming a gestalt impression)' Edit: found one - https://sourceforge.net/p/readabl

Looks like Mixpanel is handling this well: they deleted the data, notified affected customers, and then are making sure it can't happen again. +1 for admitting responsibility instead of deflecting or minimizing.

Altruism probably works here. It's cheap to pick a pseudorandom value. But if you didn't want to rely on altruism, the system could offer a reward to anyone who reveals the secret someone committed to early (half that provider&#x2

Actually, this kind of "snake eating its own tail" loop is exactly how cryptocurrencies operate. For example, proof of work blockchains secure themselves by creating mining incentives with money that has value because it is secure

> You also need to be sure that the others don't ignore the single altruistic source. Well sure, but the code people run listens to all the providers. Everyone is listened to automatically. That's part of the social consensus e

Can imagine a protocol for generating randomness to some arbitrary security level (at the expense of locking up security deposits): (1) Anyone can decide to become a 'randomness provider' by putting up a large security depsoit (2)

Certain kinds of misbehavior are punished. If you mine an invalid block, everyone will reject it, and you won't get any reward (you burnt electricity and hardware time for nothing). It works the same in PoS -- if you mine an invalid bl

If everyone updates, then there isn't a longstanding chain split (e.g. https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Value_overflow_incident ). But yeah if there's longstanding disagreement, there are two ways for it to go: * Pe

> 2 billion US dollars is all it take to take down Bitcoin? Right -- this is one of the reasons why some people think PoS is better than PoW. Much more expensive to permanently attack in this manner. Realistically, if Bitcoin were attack

You're hitting on a critical point about cryptocurrencies that isn't widely understood yet. Ultimately, the community of users and businesses at large decides. Cryptocurrencies are social contracts that are encoded in software. If

Weird, this seems like a valuable comment. I wonder what's going on. I hope you keep commenting. Government regulation could drive Bitcoin underground inside a given country. Wouldn't be hard to imagine globalized regulation, a la

Is there any fundamental reason to measure discrepancy by abs(s - x_i)^2 rather than say by abs(s - x_i)^1.5? Is something special about 2 in this context, or is it just a social convention that seems to work pretty well?

It's great to see that organizations can receive major funding if they can provide strong evidence of efficacy! Kind of changes the landscape for people thinking of starting projects. I doubt this'll be the last nonprofit to go th

I don't see a technical advantage either. But I wouldn't say there's no advantage to users-- an ICO can let the founders (a) raise funds, and (b) give them a financial incentive for the project to succeed. So in theory, ICOs

There's a reason society eventually settled on gold instead of tulips or pinecones. Good monies have certain attributes. Bitcoin's direct technological antecedent was called bitgold, and it was created by Nick Szabo who is a schol
