I am bothered by this use of the word ‘intelligence ‘. To my mind, intelligence is a comparative term, like height, weight, etc. if the universe consisted of one individual, how could you say tall or short without some reference to a norm o

I guess someone inside PayPal is using random people’s accounts to launder money. Deposit dirty money into innocent account- let it sit for awhile then take fresh clean credits out. In Greece? My guess is that it’s an arms dealer

Is assholish-ness a sign of a good founder? Do incubators use this as a secret criterion for admission? Ultimately can we write a word2vec implementation that produces an ‘asshole score’ based on a personal essay or job description as?

the principle of backprop can be accomplished in structural changes to the synapse. Although that would be analogous to changing the activation function in each 'neuron' of a layer in a convnet-we have just 'factored it out&#

or we could do it like the way physicists design their experiments-smash two iPhones together at tremendous velocities and see what pops out. Can you imagine early anatomists taking the same approach because the Catholic church forbade cutt

too bad the 'designers' are stuck on static endpoints like appearance. Functional design is ignored. How many gestures am I supposed to remember? iOS13 is crazy with multiple 'spaces'. Why is no one implementing auditory

scale is indeed the problem. scale has perverted our capitalist society as well, long before the internet. Adam Smith wrote about capitalism but he never envisioned Amazon. Changing a system from a one-to-one interaction to a one-to-many in

If we didn't let the rich get richer, would they then figure out other ways to enslave the poor and make their lives ever more miserable? It seems humans have a built in need for win-lose scenarios (schadenfreude?) and winning races by

It’s not about blue collar vs white collar. It’s about working for yourself or being an employee. Corporate culture is ‘anti human’, anti-planet, and anti-social. When you have to use energy to demonstrate your ‘adherence to policy’ that is

I dont get it. Why not put a pc on your lan and try to hack that? What is the benefit to me here? How do i know that the 'labs' i am participating in are safe? Are they honeypots? or perhaps i am just being used in a covert plan

The unspoken assumption in capitalism is that it cannot exist without humans. The complex corrections to the capitalist goal of maximizing profits comes when its agents realize profits decline when the agents are excluded from the gains. I

Capitalism as it was originally imagined - transactions between people- is the best system. Unfortunately money is now transacting itself. With ai and financial instruments as they exist, there is an order of magnitude more wealth tied up i

I've noticed that if I dont install jupyter to each venv, then the pythonpath defaults to the jupyter install. As a result, the jupyter notebook cannot find the packages in the venv(for example, caffe, module not found errors)

After reading this article I felt like asking the author, 'why havent we built DNNs that can write code?' That seems like a very domain specific problem and for the purposes of research, one could even stick to a single language.

Reading these comments initially got me sad. How many echoes of the article’s theme - ‘look at this flaw and how I exploited it’. At first I thought the author had cast a magical spell to bring out the dark side in us. But really, The initi

thank you for your replies. however, no one addressed the fact that as orbital radius decreases, velocity increases. and that should not be possible for light. In fact, the whole idea of light bending around a gravity well does not seem to
