Here's a thought experiment. Say you had more than one RNN trained for the same task (say, generating text). How would you couple them? You could just, character by character, have each RNN generate its output on its own, and then take

Was the one trick superhuman performance at Go? Was it human-level image recognition? Or was it style transfer? I didn't make it to the end of the article; maybe it turns out the trick was automated captioning or translation.

I wonder what math is being used, and whether there's some way to package it in a way that's approachable to biologists.

It's kind of like how liberals are all urban poor or coastal elites.

It's a very persuasive idea. I also wonder whether Atlantis's stripped-down API could enable a lighter alternative to Electron.

Maybe the real lesson here is that the last open task on your project is something that can present human-readable digests from parsing the compiler errors...

So this is probably a dumb question. But via Noether, the isotropy of space is equivalent to conservation of momentum and angular momentum, right? So if space is curved by gravity, doesn't that mean that mean it isn't isotropic an

So what you're saying is something like... Say you have some true preferences: Heaventy Nirvana Populonopolous Shitsville Say you decide to list Populonopolous higher than Nirvana, even though you would ultimately like Nirvana better.

It's really too bad about Firefox OS. My wife is really big on privacy and doesn't care about native apps- it would have been the perfect solution for her.

>Free speech and competition of ideas is an essential part of our society. That is the familiar way. But when lies travel faster than corrections, and bots can automate the Gish gallop, it's hard to imagine truth actually winning.

The approach I've long thought would bear fruit turns out to be a dumbed-down version of Aaronson's. Imagine a "meta-sequence" whose elements are features of the original sequence in question, then take the entropy of th
