Thanks a lot Peter!

OK. I'll reach out by email. I am currently based out of India. I used to live in the bay area when in the US. If during the first 90 days of moving back before filing for naturalization, and after too, I could make international tri

Can you help me with the filing, etc., or recommend someone who could? As a start, I would just need a more detailed calculation of the timeline, looking at my travel dates, etc. I could do the latter myself also if I have enough informat

Hi Peter, Thanks for doing this! I am on a US Green Card, living outside US for about 2 years 3 months, with a re-entry permit and N-470 approved. However, I have been making quarterly trips to the US except for one long stretch of 10 mont

HN, please fight back and prevent this from being called "8D". Non-technical people are getting fooled by this. If the term continues to get used, it will become a standard, perhaps even making its way into dictionaries.

In my opinion, reading this will be more helpful: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pseudoscience#Indicators_of_th... If you are on those courses, you are likely to be logical enough. Learning to sense misinformation and

First off, put it into your head that people skills are critical, for both professional and personal lives. Make it a goal for yourself to develop them. Below are a few things that I had found helpful: 1. Book "Human Relationships&qu

Thanks for a detailed response. I'll check the references out. I am a lot less knowledgeable than you have imagined here. :-) Well, I know practically all the physics and electronics part, but have not found much that connects to mu

Is there something in the books about the mathematics of chords and chord progressions?

I appreciate the advice. HN wasn't allowing me to delete my comment anymore, so I just removed all details. Thanks.

Indeed. If negative results can be published too and made useful for others, reduction in forged successes could be a side benefit.

I once read original works of Sir William Rowan Hamilton and was amazed at the clarity of thought he demonstrated, a truly open mind to understanding nature. Books by Max Born (Atomic Physics, and Theory of Relativity) are absolute awesomne

It would help to read your commentary on these.

This is the piece I love about HN. A comment refers to an accomplished person and he/she happens to be right there. And either supplying a correction or taking the feedback positively.

Indeed, most research projects generally don't. In general, researchers don't report results of failures. How many academic papers reporting a negative would go through the review process... So there's a bigger debate here.

We should wait for the energy comparisons to be made till we understand. :-) Emulating brain with machines or vice versa is not an interim solution. Alternatively, perhaps the common task could today be defined based on something that Dee

Which is why I am claiming that a comparison of energy efficiency of the two, as seen in most literature, is invalid.

by alok-g 8y ago
An apples-to-apples comparison should not care for what the fundamental unit is, unless it can be argued to be the equal in terms of what it does to the problem being solved. The common factor needs to be the same problem given to both to

Can you share some references. See my comment on this page here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18425019 Thanks.

PS: I did not read the paper again. Most of such analysis reporting brain to be more power efficient than computers talk about energy it would require to emulate brain operations in silicon. That does not sound like a fair comparison. Ho
