Discussions about perception and reality are always good, even if this article seems a little tame compared to what philosophers have argued about for centuries. But it's nice to see such a discussion coming from scientists, and not ju

Can I take this opportunity to ask a stupid question? Is ML anything more than pattern recognition? If I could tally nearly every game state vs game state -> win %, then run a simple if [state], then {} program, then what do I miss out o

I'd say not similar methods. Koch Industires/1980s Conservatives spreading propaganda to limit any increase in govt (i.e. more regulation would be passed) lead to climate deniers. Anti-Vax discord was recently aided by Russian dis

Thanks for the response. I'm not a physicist but we can't speak of before the Big Bang usually. But you are right fields could have existed before neutrons and protons formed. As far as we know, consciousness requires protons, neu

Sure maybe from a philosophical point of argument consciousness trumps all and physical existence and objective external reality should be viewed through that lense. But every single particle has a worldline tracing back to the Big Bang, wh

As a total layperson, I think the focus should be on long term car-to-car networking. Skip this visual feedback rut we are in and make every new car broadcast its position, velocity, acceleration, heading, etc. Problem is how to get manufac

To my eyes the main difference between today and ancient societies is lack of central narratives. Greek philosophy was hung up on appeals to nature, souls, and the greats unequivocally believed in a creator god of some kind (not the Pantheo

What's interesting to me is while we have no reference for how close we are to understanding ultimate reality, you are nevertheless sure enough in your beliefs to call ancestral knowledge and other species 'embarassing'.

As a layman, is this just saying we learn by training an intuition of what's what/what's correct, rather than actually calculating deep reality/referencing our entire memory set every time we intake some information or n
