It is not about fashion, it is about not being ad-hoc. For small scale problem where most of the variables are well understood, this kind of approaches work beautifully. Big problem are better tackled by a more generic approach (maybe with

I asked myself the same question, and did read some papers, but could not find a recent comprehensive survey on automatic fuzzy rule generation (I admit I gave up after ~15 minutes). What I found did not convince me that it would fare bette

I read the paper, and read up about the techniques used to do that (because the paper is very light on details). I came back completely underwhelmed. This makes (clever) use of hundreds, if not thousands, man hours of painstakingly entering

The question is not about about "safely", the question is about "in a safer way than the alternatives". So, let's look at how we can safely store coal/oil waste. We can't, it goes straight in the air, or i

That's not what the law says. The french law you are talking about gives the same force to the conclusion of the Nuremberg trials as all other justice decisions. We call that "autorité de la chose jugée". You can still discus

The important word is : formal. I, too, think that the brain is 'a computer'. But the formal definitions of computation we have today require the computer to be left alone for some time between the moment the input is given and th

The question of whether physics is computable is a fascinating one I'd really like to see solved before I die.

by linschn 11y ago
The point is that out definition of the computability of a function is too narrow, and does not take into account the real-time all connected nature of the computation the brain does. Therefore, we lack formal way of satisfactorily compare

You can approximate any analog value to arbitrary precision using a (by nature binary) Turing Machine, therefore you can bring the loss of information as low as needed. The question is whether the brain offers a more complete framework than

by linschn 11y ago
The only serious counter-argument I've heard against the hypothesis that the brain goes further than a Turing machine is that the brain does not implement an algorithm, with one input, some processing steps, and one output. Instead, it

This is seriously cool ! 9P servers can be mounted (thanks to plan9port) as a (virtual) filesystem. Therefore, any utility, in any language, can interact with the cloud simply by writing and reading files, without even knowing is the system

Putting Cuba and North Korea in the same basket is wildly misleading. Although Cubans do not enjoy complete political freedom, most people there have a higher standard of living than before the revolution, almost everyone knows how to read
