Hey, the FONC mailing list isn't shutting down! It's just moving! It's now hosted at MIT instead of VPRI. It's located here: http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/fonclist

"A self-published eBook that acknowledges a lack of funding on the main page?" is kind of a low blow. He's doing something really interesting with the funding model of practicaltypography, that I believe should be praised.

While I don't think there's a public recording of this version, BVic's talk with the same title "Words are Obsolete" was recorded in 2015[0]. I'm not sure if the demos were the same, but it's something. [0

I've been trying for a while to try to download this video... can't seem to grab the raw video file. Anyone have any ideas?

Minsky's Society of Mind would be a good launching off point. Other than that particularly famous example, I would just check out any of the authors of the papers in that link. This class fulfills a communication requirement at MIT, so

Professor Winston (the lecture in these videos), also teaches a higher-level, seminar based AI reading class called "The Human Intelligence Enterprise". It too, is an incredible class. Here's the schedule & linked papers

I'm guessing, because the back half of the lecture has some great life lessons in it.

Sad day. A video that probably won't be played very often, but might be special to this crowd: a 1997 Apple commercial staring The Greatest, during their Think Different campaign. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n83xzu2

Author here. Thanks for commenting, interesting point! However, as you can see in the section "1960s", many similar comments were predicted 50 years ago. The point I address in this paper is that optimism is easy when things are g

No, I haven't seen this before but it looks like a great read, thanks for the recommendation! I'll check it out

Thanks for the comment, but let's try to keep this discussion friendly and not ad hominem. I'd politely disagree that my comment was a sequence of empty statements, but allow me to provide some clarifying details that might help y

Thanks for reading! I'd be happy to correct specific problems if you'd be kind enough to email them to me (see the about section of my website for my email). If not, let's stick to substantive comments on the content rather t

Author here, thanks for the comment! While this is an interesting read (and NTMs are great), it is not particularly relevant to the model I describe or this paper. I think you are misunderstanding my generality of my paper: I am not discuss

Author here. Wow, fantastic feedback! Thank you for taking the time to read it and respond. I have a few responses. As an undergrad, I won't assume my background is strong enough for direct opinions, so apologies in advance as my respo

Thanks! I'm glad you found the perspective interesting. It's definitely worth reading more about Minksy's models. I have a lot of references in-line, but here are a few more starting points. The near-final-draft version his b

Haha, author here. I can assure you I did proofread it multiple times, but I'm sure I didn't catch every typo. Though I would love to hear thoughts on the content rather than the writing! Also, if anything is confusing, I'd b

I'm curious how much of the code base will be publicly available. It would be great to try this stuff out.
