   Thanks for the feedback. I think the next step for me is to actually try it out live and see how it performs. If the results are positive, I will have an easier time selling my idea

   I think your argument would be better if you don't just say "the product would be better with more people working on it", but also say how you plan to recruit them, what you need to do that, and how velocity would increase. I

   Is the product deserving more engineer attention (I suspect it does, but you should still carefully consider the question because that could be how the CEO thinks). And if so, do you think you have done everything you can to convince the CE

   My guess would be that evolutionary speaking, being able to make useful tools provided a significant advantage (hunting, fire, writing...) So hacking around, and liking hacking around was selected for.

   Same thing, took me a while to understand that facid was indeed facility_id. In my previous work, we used this to test candidates when their job involved writing SQL. Worked great.

   I think folding the update rule inside the MCTS loop (in alphaGO Zero) is genius.

   Hi. Thanks for the great article. Can you elaborate on what you mean by "directions in activation space" ? If I understand it right: You take a few neurons in a layer, and you follow some linear combination of their weights; you a

    What would be your recommendation to learn about these topics ? Moocs, books, having some pet project ?

    Sad to see that it doesn't render the figures properly for this paper: https://www.arxiv-vanity.com/papers/1701.03757v1/ I hope this can be made to work reliably. I generally prefer web pages to pdfs.

    Just a quick question/remark: I have a feeling that it's best to think about DNNs as approximating a function, not a program. (only then you obtain a program as a result of applying this function). But because mathematically, you

    I agree. I think the fields of "computational cognitive science" and developmental psychology are the ones to look into to make progress towards the "hard fundamental problems". Some of the leading labs working on this a

    Great idea. I am curious about how you plan to keep in touch with the teams/individuals that do get the grant, and how the "AI Grant Network" works concretely. My understanding: you get nothing tangible from the grant ("
