Dennet is concerned with the origin of minds on Earth and how this is explicable within our current evolutionary framework. He does not seek to explain the origins of the universe but argues that this is not necessary to understand how mind

For the completely opposite view, listen to Daniel Dennet on The Life Scientific [1]. Dennet argues that combining Darwin's strange inversion of reason (complexity from bottom up iterative refinement) with Turing's Universal Machi

I like the idea of AR search in the visual field. Look at crowd and the AR highlights your friends, a book title in rows of shelves, or sidewalk money - that would be handy. Sort of like the interface in Terminator when Arnie is looking for

Daniel Dennet is grounded in reality, though he is concerned with how minds came about and the possibility of AI - his latest from Bacteria to Bach combines Darwin and Turing to imagine how biological machines came to be minds and cites Cla

Open standards for shortening URLs rather than private Hash Tables of random shortlinks is a great idea. Being open source and predictable it would not be necessary to specify any particular shortening service so that part of the URL is ext

The weights are also useful to build on, as an initialisation for a related task, or to look for semantic vectors without having to do the (often lengthy) training oneself. I second your call for more publishing of trained models as well as
