After a recent purge of Amazon spy devices in my home, I'm left with a non-functional Echo Wall clock. It seems rather sophisticated, since the time can be set remote (it does eat batteries though). I like the design a lot and would li

I think you are right, it would be surprising if we discovered something outside our understanding of physics (god) to give us what we perceive as consciousness. It's been hypothesized that some unknown quantum effect might provide us

Right. I’m naive in assigning more capability to these models than they posess. I found a quote from Geoff Hinton where he talked about this last year. From [1]: “I can take an image and a tiny bit of noise and CNNs will recognize it as so

It’s really surprising to me how easily AI can be fooled. Maybe there is a fundamental difference between our visual system and what is represented in a visual recognition CNN. Could it be the complexity of billions of cells vs. the simplif

How do we know that mammalian visual systems aren’t fundamentally different from AI? What you predict is nothing but an assumption.

Good thinking! The newer R10 pores have a dual read head, essentially two holes in sequence inside the same barrel. The linked page [1] has an image. [1] https://nanoporetech.com/about-us/news/r103-newest-nanopore-.

I remember seeing an Altair 8800 next to a "Gandalf" at WeirdStuff in Sunnyvale, a few years before they closed for good. Had no idea what these were.

Agreed. My thesis was on the genetics of schizophrenia. A genetic contribution has been shown through twin adoption studies. Researching the literature, it turned out that there are hundreds of theories on the etiology of this psychosis. Th

Reliable NAT traversal is what propelled Skype to fame and billions back in the day, and was later codified by the VoIP folks at the IETF into STUN/ICE and TURN. WebRTC is basically a VoIP client with JS API built into the browser.
