When the US government invested a billion dollars into a project to simulate the brain with computers this is exactly the throw-back project that crossed my mind.

How does it work for that other game called "21"?

At the risk of getting a bunch of down-votes: Am I the only one who is afraid we are just going to turn the browser into a delivery mechanism for a bunch of fat-apps?

I wonder if AI will be able to bring that to another level. Recognize the counter and adapt. Interesting to see unfold.

Interesting. So would you say that there are two parts here, figuring out a general strategy for a new map and then maximizing execution?

Sure, but a jury doesn't have to follow the logical chain of events. Look at the recent talcum powder lawsuits. No solid evidence it causes cancer, yet multiple million dollar lawsuits against J&J saying that it did.

Thanks for the info. I don't want anyone to get hurt but it was only a matter of time before there is a suit and I am curious how this will play out. I don't buy the argument that it is the same as any other equipment, although I

If a doctor misdiagnosis an eye ailment, they might end up with a malpractice lawsuit. If an ML program misdiagnoses an eye ailment, what is going to happen?

When you take your nice, theoretical software package and expose it to the real world, you always find things you wouldn't have predicted in the design. The world in general and humans in particular are messy and chaotic. People enter

The volatility index, or VIX, has become a popular measurement to reference in the context of predicting the market over the past couple years. The problem is that it does not seem to have any real predictive power and I have yet to see any

Bookstores are not libraries.

Because entropy. The natural state of the world is chaos.

When I heard about the documentation project I was excited, but when I went to use it I was sad. They really didn't know how to build instructional systems.

I still think emphasis on a word or syllable is important here as there is far more information than you realize being conveyed with inflection. Consider: I am going to eat the ham sandwich = Me, no one else I am going to eat the ham sa

I read elsewhere they were looking to IPO later this year. Seems like an odd time to jump ship.

A wide-ranging talk on computer generated art, music, stories, humor, etc. I liked listening to it, but am disappointed by the field's disregard for existing methods of structure. "We don't use rules".... well, rules hav

The problem with medication for depression is that they generally have only ever been proven to help in cases of severe depression. They don't help with mild depression, but doctors are allowed to prescribe them for anything they see f

The idea the brain is a prediction machine is counter-indicated by 80% of the people I meet.

I agree. I think the next big advancements will come from a different model, not from fine-tuning current ML setups. I'm more interested in a general AI that can learn any game or environment it encounters to optimize a return. Not qui

Another fun fact. You don't see box sets of all the movies because Romero always had to raise money from different people so the rights for them (other than the first) are scattered.

Did you have anyone say "Professional photographers don't apply HDR filters to single photos"?

Verizon FIOS and Netflix at the same time, too.

OK. Does the current situation cause harm? Is there a good reason why it needs to change?

If it could be drawn while crossing zero lines, then yes. But even then it is likely several different options would exist, and each party would try to pick one that favors them. I'm OK with that as a solution.

Personally I wish my state would enact a law that says representative districts must be drawn to cross as few county lines as possible. Yes, some manipulation would still be possible, but it would be greatly diminished.

I give them credit for putting together a fun explanation of what they are trying to do. I've used Processing Java and Processing.js, so I assume this is some continuation or extension of those projects. It might be more effective if t
