Thanks for the second point. It's frustrated when they write titles like that for the public. I always think that "human is born with some miracle thing" is quite suspicious. How can orderliness be born out of no where (no wo

wait, i think that's a good comment. what if that "invisible grammar" they said was the result of the statistical process ? which means that it already emerges in childhood?

yeah, i watch some old french film, wearing beret was a real thing, especially for artists. anyway, fashion comes and goes, that stereotype might have become obsolete.

Now they want to define "meta-research" as stealing, too. I can't imagine how would someone buy that. Knowledge is something you cannot capture, that's why they have to try to "protect" the symbols. And they ca

yeah, but in tribes or backward society, with agriculture or hunter-gatherer .. it's kinda hard to compare between these two kinds of society, people deal with very different things everyday

if we insist on everybody getting the same share, no matter what, then the smart one doesnt have incentive to make progress and the lazy one simply stops trying. that'd be disaster (isnt that communism?) the good gene is like a natural

The interaction resembles a repeated PD because people are cheating the experimenter :D The ending effect happens all the time in experiments. If people play the repeated prisoner's dilemma, they'd cooperate UNTIL the last round.

so it means: even though Ava (in the film) can simulate the full range of woman's emotion in love, it still doesnt mean she is actually feeling the great joy and sorrow of love? :)

Human's emotions are connected in constellations. Overconfidence has its evolutionary story. For example, with a little overconfidence, you can take risk to start up. You have to be a bit delusional to aim high. And it doesn't sou

I'd just hope that the duplicate threads are merged together so I can see all comments because comments can't be duplicated. I appreciate members that are solving the duplicate problem manually by pasting the links to the same pos

Is it necessarily a bad thing if evolution concept can manifest outside its origin field of biology? I'd like very much to hear someone in technology to evaluate more specific about this paper. As I understand vaguely, they dont offer

i'm so confused. the red label doesnt convey any information yet it rules out the ability that the green label is true. so how can the green label still be true? or is the author saying that the symbols on labels dont mean anything? if

yeah, i agree that the Kazbrella is too showing off. and the mechanism is not that much innovative. the normal double fold umbrella (not sure how it is called) has similar mechanism, the difference is that it double folds which makes the fo

The author Trivers writes this paper about the functional aspect of trust, lie.. some emotions.. in evolution. He gives examples in biology which is quite interesting to read, though I find the paper long. The Evolution of Reciprocal Altrui
