I hope you I did not cause offense, for neuromorphics this is a wonderful paper and it's important to do basic research like this! I'm just a bit jaded after 5 years of following the literature and seeing most papers sidestep what

This is part of the research I find more exciting, but the challenge is to actually make this work for things which aren't MNIST. I might be wrong on this, but I haven't seen any novel learning rules deal with Fashion MNIST or CIF

Having started my PhD originally in neuromorphics before I switched lanes, no they didn't, at least not the important one. They still perform gradient descent using a GPU. I love BrainScaleS but until we have analog/neuromorphic t

What is the functional difference of os=>hypervisor=>unikernel vm vs. os=>capabilities and pledges or containers? I would get if we use a unikernel approach running on bare metal for high security, specialised applications but t

While I still think this is not the ideal move and am in general skeptical of government claims that their invoking martial law-ish privileged comes with self control, I feel there is some nuance missing in the comments so far, particularl

are atoms discrete? we used to think so. we might never get a better model than quantum physics and it might still be wrong and fail to explain things. So there is a human idea of "discrete element" that we used to apply to everyt

I sent you an email, but all I can say is please come to Switzerland so I can work with you guys :-) Everything I've seen so far looks quite awesome. Two questions: 1. Are you implying you are using deep learning heuristics for weighte

"private property is subordinate to the common good" is even in our "Constitution" (grundgesetz, literally foundational law), although it has been neutered by precedent and other laws. The right of way is a concept which

Depends what you and him exactly mean, but since he's talking about the neoreactionaries being correct, I'll assume he doesn't mean the scientific version which posits that race has no genetic basis (ctrl+F "race"

In the years that I've read him I noticed this is something that happens from time to time with Scott Siskinds (see 3 if you take offense to me using his name) texts, especially when he steps out of his zone of competence to opine on

You also need to ask yourself "is there a way to do a useful thing without this ". Like, evolution can't jump, if the same gene expression gives you better pattern matching and improved chances of hallucinations, depending

First: I agree with you, but it's a general human failing to fall in love with our own solutions or just ones that we vibe with. I think the critiques are always more generalisable than the solutions. That being said, I think it's

It's a misunderstanding that evolution leads to only positive behaviours remaining. Eating your own tentacles might be similar to humans cutting themselves, or the stress response behaviours spillover by zoo animals: a spillover réacti

We observed quantum effects before the theory. We haven't seen any phenomena so far which require physics that could lead to FTL

Yes they did, we just hadn't figured them out yet. If we were very wrong in them, we'd have to be wrong in a way that doesn't affect all the technology using the wrong theory - which is part of why we refined them, because sh

Ah, okay, the probably yes. But it's still natural, since one influenced the other heavily. Also, Social insurance, but also affirmative action and regulation of common goods, although none of these need to be state driven. One of the

I don't know if I'd call it beautiful or desirable over a world where we live forever and develop robust mechanisms to ensure our perspectives are forced to change and adapt instead of calcifying and power cannot entrench itself,

Well, yes. If you properly implement it, most utopias will look similar. Where most anarchists diverge from libertarians, minarchists or "anarcho-capitalists" (even though people might criticize me for the scare quotes) is that th

The point to take from it is (in my opinion) that our grasp might exceed our reach if we do not shy away tackling big projects at on some level . There is a fine line between this and "just believe and it will become true" bruhah

I always wonder about those communities though, AANES seems to (looking in from the outside) rely heavily on ethnocentric and cult of personality (Occallan) dynamics, as well as the unifying pressure of Daesh/Turkey? And the Zapatista

Smallpox was a god of death which one could hope to avoid and defend against, but never kill, from at least 300 BCE until 1958. Humanity finished the job in 1977 (for now). While there are many things to criticize about anarchist though

Do you think it is possible to recreate a digital version of this by basically handcoding your own tool for thought organisation, but coding it yourself needs to be part of it? Like writing a cheatsheet being the main point, and you might

I love how people think fact checking is censorship, but banning nipples and other "not advertiser friendly" content is A-O-K. One thing which annoys me about this is that internet corps have gotten with avoiding the framing of &

Leaving the strategic timing of identity politics out of this, do you in principle agree that this type of backlash is a sign of the need for some form of "woke activism" so the idea of gender equality, trans right, minority rig

I don't know if I'm fully parsing this, but there are more solutions (in my eyes, better solutions) to putting skin into the game than denying treatment or putting monetary burden for the treatment on those who refuse to vaccinate

by igorkraw 5y ago
I think this is missing the point, that there is no risk for the individual to denying COVID or vaccinations (or a round earth) because as a society we have decided not to deny medical treatment, punish lowering heard immunity (except when

This is a nonsequitur dragging in unrelated politics, the original point is: the bulk of anti-vaxxers would not commit to a world where they are isolated and left to die if they catch COVID for all the "it's just a flu" talk.

Following the link in your profile, I'll believe you and thank you However I still do not agree that it helps the greater cause do dismiss identity politics aggressively . Let them right their fight, fight yours, collaborate where po
