I agree, formatting is like punctuation in a narrative. Not massively significant but certainly not meaningless. There is a sort of rhythm, flavor, style, whatever you want to call it, that winds up being part of it all. And it can prevent

Again, this boils down to the rationalist vs. empiricist stance. Hidden variable vs. probabilistic approximation and so forth. The partisan error is to consider these two stances as mutually exclusive. They are not, as illustrated by decohe

As far as I know the actual cognitive dissonance involves ideas, beliefs or values. Note that these three categories do not belong to the same class. Beliefs and values involve an emotional component, along with wishes, desires and all acti

I find the comparison puzzling and inspiring. Reminds me of Bohm's "Wholeness and the implicate order", "Unfolding meaning" etc. Or even of Chomsky's deep structure. I also can't help but feeling a sort o

Marxist Wookie interpretation. It is true that the Force and its Dark Side are not Good and Evil. They are the two dialectical poles around which life evolves. Like Eros and Thanatos or Yin and Yang. That's from a universal perspective

The writer seems to express the worry that one type of mind is more efficient when the going gets tough (i.e. initial description of the two characters). This is an entirely different question. The assumption that so-called "neurotic&q

Bottom-up vs. Top-down. Empiricism vs rationalism. There is unfortunately a dramatic lack of flexibility between the two. It's like Liverpool vs Manchester United. There is also the fact that money doesn't flow as easily towards i

My take as a psychologist. Myth #1: It is partly a diagnosis issue but that will not be solved by waving a spectrum wild-card. Strictly all mental-health disorders are present in a normal state in the general population. That goes for man

This sounds like too wide a gap between design and current state of technical aspects, such as higher yield engines and control systems. These were times when design had sort of a life of its own. I guess one can look at the Tomcat as the a

It's funny to look at this like an electric circuit. There is a nominal tension, built in our very biological existence. If mere resistance (i.e. moralizing, law) is applied, tension will increase or output will decrease...

The curiosity for the reason behind things, the drive of rationalism, the human sense of awe are not the monopoly of religion. Although a rationalist, a-religious, myself, I always liked Hume because he pushed empiricism to its logical limi

I once wrote a small python code that spat out a melody made from the difference between consecutive prime numbers. Probably not of significant import for mathematical research. But fun to listen to.

Effort carries meaning. It shifts focus around and introduces exquisite nuances or even a sub-text (i.e. what if John has mixed feelings about his current girlfriend?) It boosts thinking. It works visually as well with, for example, what R.

I hold the same belief. I also think that we don't pay enough attention to the form of processes whereas nature seems to place lots of emphasis on it. In fact, the more it goes, the more a form factor appears to be somehow determinant.

As 99% of all human beings know full well that caring for one another is the bedrock of moral as well as a, hopefully obvious, survival need, the question is, and has always been, to understand why so many of us, or all of us under some cir

A problem is that the reverse is also true. Simple example: stretch a rope around the earth that fits tightly and add 1 m to the length. Can a cat go under the rope (it's always a cat). Intuitively that seems like a "No". The

That seems like a good approximation of how a real NN would learn a specific task. I'm wondering about a way to have this knowledge, or part of it, carried over to other tasks, or even slightly different tasks, so that there would be a
