that is not true though. State of the art neuroscience is, basically human cognition is a tower of abstractions of smaller systems of pattern finding to optimize a reward there isn't some unexplained magic sauce.

All I will say is that these criticisms are outdated. they were formed with a bigger lack of understanding than we have now. read a Thousand brains: a new theory of intelligence

not sure how well acquainted you are with neuroscience, but that is the basis of human cognition. I really don't understand the attempt to belittle "pattern finding". State of the art neuroscience tells us, that we have thou

sounds more like pattern finding. and if you break down human cognition, it isn't much different..

Obviously use the pc if you have it. My point is entirely for the case of having neither. It is patently untrue you can get a full pc capable of running ps5 quality games in the price range of a ps5

I'm pretty sure the value proposition is that for $500 you can play state of the art games, compared to $1500 for a pc to do the same. Also not sure what unique benefits the PS5 ssd i/o will have. This is currently not something y

that is absolutely not true. I'm not sure where you are getting your information, but read anything from an angel investor. most AI start ups fail because they go into huge debt getting correct data and training models, which end up b

I'm pretty sure he is describing the business surrounding music in our western capitalistic tradition, not music as an art form

fair enough, and rereading my comment, it does come off that way. I was more curious what his background was, but that is not how I worded it.

not sure I agree with this. films are still shown in 24 frames/sec. the tv interpolation tech is trash and without a doubt makes films look like a cheap set on BBC

is there a labor demand for electronic assembly? we can barely get workers for decently tipped restaurants, and we now going to have 1000s lining up to twist a screw for 8 hours straight?

maybe? the dynamic loading of the configs kind of restricts it to a markup language.

as a counter argument. I work in robotics, where many operators will look at and change settings in a yaml file during testing. They do not have software skills outside of this.

I work with ros extensively and have not heard of using django for this use case. do you know of any open source projects that do this?

by gmadsen 5y ago
fair point. I guess my counter argument to that is that it is very surprising how much public outrage can be controlled through lengthening time duration, media propaganda to fuel fear and anxiety. the world is much different than it was 30

I would be comfortable skipping the standard algo/DS leetcode style coding interview questions. I'd probably want to see something more open ended, like a system arch/design if possible

an important thing to note, everything in the typical interview programming assessment is covered in one DS/algo class students usually take their sophomore year. If interviewing is your only worry, just get a single undergrad textbook

I doubt there exists a 4.0 gpa standford cs grad that is incapable of coding. It is more than just branding. Standford is harder and you learn more skills that a run of the mill state school. MIT moreso, no one is skating under the radar at

I'd argue that it doesn't play that big of a role in the functioning of the government. Privacy abuse has been pretty non-partisan for decades. As Chomsky would say, the areas of intersection between the parties represent the inst

It's not all about speed. Vim keybindings match more closely to how I reason about code(such as replacing text within brackets. Using a mouse is a distraction from cognitive flow.
