There are privacy-preserving decentralized solutions being developed for this, but it is as of yet unknown if companies like FitBit will support them when they become available. The solution has a different bioethics issue, in that it creat

I think 1/10 is incredible. If it holds up it means they may have found the right prior for a path of development that can actually lead to artificial general intelligence. With exponential improvement; humans learning to hack the AI a

I think those are the distance metrics, which is what produces inductive bias, which is the core essence of what we consider 'intelligence'. - Consider a more complicated metric like a graph distance with a bit of interesting topo

Guessing that if all you have to do is keep your metrics green, they are not selecting for the skills they are educating for.

Legalese might be similar to code, and there is lots of interest in making law machine readable. So don't give up; check back later.

Excuse me it wasn't directed at you. People seem to use the downvote function to say they disagree, or don't understand, but that leaves the poster completely in the dark about what they think the problem is. I find it counterprod

If you take sandpaper to a part turning on the lathe and make the mistake of closing your hand around it, you can lose your arm. On a drill press a chip can reach out and grab your clothes and pull you in. Heavy parts can come loose and fly

Nobody knows what you mean when you downvote an on-topic post. You have to say something, else you only cause confusion. Back on topic: Systems theory seems to basically be object-oriented, meaning it sometimes has problems dealing with sel

On discovering that I used to think in a functional manner before learning to program I wish I had begun with Haskell. Things which seemed like obvious things to try didn't work in C++ 98 so I 'learned' that my thinking was w

Autodesk is unfortunately doing exactly what one can expect Autodesk to do. As soon as Fusion 360 meets a milestone they add new ways to monetize their users. TBH I can't recommend it for anyone outside US jurisdiction because of how t

Usually a short run of a new part doesn't take more than half a day to set up on a CNC. If you are making thousands of parts to run unmanned you might have to add another day to it.

The industrial strength version: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=EefFxEGVbWo I made sprockets with an endmill and a simple macro on a C-axis lathe. Worked just fine since the tolerance on those is very forgiving. In principle
