Depends but probably not. Basically everything we do involves hardware one way or another so difficult to do remotely :(

If you find this topic interesting, Neuralink is hiring. We’re looking for a lot of different backgrounds across applied physics, biomedical engineering, software and hardware. Though Neuralink sounds cool - I know many people are skeptical

Is there any data on the sound profile of this thing? As the rotors become smaller the disc loading increases, making them much louder and more shrill. If that's effectively mitigated here, this looks really cool; if not, I think it wi

I misread char-CNN as char-RNN in the linked article. I don’t know of results that compare graph convolutions to char-CNN. If a comparison were to be made, what metrics should it focus on?

Responding to his issues with Vijay Pande's work (I'm not affiliated), graph convolutions really are better than char-RNN for this. There's a good theoretical motivation for why, and people have spent a lot of time trying to

Ok. I did experience it. It would be unsurprising if there is biological variability in this. But from the parent's description if they did experience symptoms like it, it seems like ketone flu is a highly likely explanation.

After about a week of no carbohydrates your body would enter ketosis, which uses a parallel set of metabolic processes that burn ketones rather than carbs. The onset of ketosis is marked by really clear flu-like symptoms. After ~48 hours th

Deep learning wasn't novel in 2012 either - it was the removal of a hardware limitation that made it compelling again. I think the same is true for evolving DNNs, but I don't know if the available compute power is there yet. >

Without reading this specific paper, I think this is the future. If not genetic search, then some other metaheuristic. I think this is only really credible road to AGI in the near term, as it seems to be largely a hardware limitation that w

It really is though. In most cases all they can do is kick you out. In some cases the foreign government can waive immunity to allow prosecution, but it’s rare. This guy wasn’t a diplomat though so diplomatic immunity doesn’t apply. Regardl

Not sure I really buy this reasoning for the rise in cannabis startups; if you follow the logic, it should bring you to "prescription drug delivery" pretty quickly, and yet the focus is all on weed.

It seems like anything except day traders should have no problem with market orders, then... 95% of the time I'm expecting to keep a position for months to years, and I really don't care +/- 5% on the day I enter the position

If the executive decides to ignore the courts, the ball passes to the Senate. If the Senate chooses to ignore the situation, then yes, we're pretty much screwed.
