Interestingly, the NeuroMechFly project [1] already exists, so integrating the two together may already be under way. At 50 million synapses, a modest gaming PC should be able to run the simulation. I wonder what people will think once they

I got it to make a tiny FORTH model in python. It failed pretty hard when trying to make a Lisp, though.

What if people who come up with particularly effective solutions are awarded a bonus? That could put back some of the incentive.

Then they should readily produce samples, so others can verify their claims.

I think you may be overestimating the complexity. The better idea is to set up and experiment with different simulation parameters, and see how far they diverge from actual observed behavior.

You can do all that with humans too, perhaps less ethically.

Would a human with a photographic memory count as possessing an answer key?

I can attest to 40 year old floppies stored in a barn as a viable storage mechanism. I was able to retrieve almost all of the code that I wrote in my childhood this way. I had no idea that those old Apple 2 and Commodore 64 disks would actu

Does anyone out there have a link to the section of British intellectual property law that Tom refers to as "Passing On"? I can't find anything clear with a google search.

As well, it may be possible to crowdsource a new reasonable quality dataset by just using photos taken by volunteers, along with some custom paid work by professional body models or actors. Redone quality photos of public artwork and archit

Rather than getting into that debate, it's probably more practical and efficent to just create a new verified dataset.

So, if I get this right, the main issue that the artists have is that these AI's are trained on art that they haven't opted in to the dataset? What about having a dataset that was verified selected from public domain or creative c

I'm impressed. this is the first critique I've seen that actually engages with the topic in a fair way. As of now, there's been just way too much noise to get to the detail of what exactly is wrong with AI art. As for me, I j

Perhaps you could add a temperature sensor as well? Heck it might be neat to go full tricorder-in-eye...

What type of component is an "adjustable resistor"? Looking the term up online only shows potentiometers, which I really don't think is what is being described here. Is this some sort of memristor?

A 14 year old is a child. Children are not known for coming up with well thought out long term plans, especially in trying circumstances.

That is really impressive! Are the Proxmox tape utilities separate from Proxmox itself? I have a Synology NAS that I'd like to back up to tape. I actually have a tape library, but I haven't seen anything that looks like a simple s

At that point, why not put up an option for paid tech support? It would make life costly for the spammers, and give an option for people with a critical and legitimate problem.

It's sad to see this in popular culture, but reationality does not mean total suppression of emotion. To be more accurate, modern concepts of rationality means that you are aware of your emotions, and that you can effectively process

I do not think that they are. However, whenever this topic comes up, there are people who immediately jump out and state that is basically is, simply because we don't know enough about the underlying science yet. Which is strange, as s

So, I keep reading responses such as this on the subject of neuron/brain emulation, and I have a question to ask back. Is it possible to understand a neuron at all? It appears that we have some understanding, given that we can decode s
