Scott Alexander has a cool theory that unifies Bayesian inference, low-level behaviour like neurotransmitter levels and high-level behaviour like learning, making decisions and different sensory phenomena (some of the posts explain autism a

Fun fact: staying up for 24h+ causes a relief of symptoms in >50% of depressed individuals. However, almost all relapse the moment they sleep again (even if it's a 'micro-sleep'). https://en.wikipedia.org/w

You had a depressive episode, and you recovered. It's not getting older, but the fact that time heals most brains just like exercise and antidepressants do. About 70% recover within 12 months [1] [1] - https://pubmed.ncbi.nl

I don't get it? Most of the "limitation" examples are on par with humans, both linguistically and artistically. So much so that it feels like a DALL-E ad :)

Higher parameter count and less face samples aren't mutually exclusive. You can take a huge GAN and then use a single image of a face as a guide for navigating the latent space.

You can replace "out of their control" with "almost zero chance to go in the else{} branch". And "can choose to" with "can go to else{} if rx is true" - and social interaction and reward/punishme

It's nice, but it doesn't cover any topic of Theoretical Computer Science [1]. It's just the math required for undergrad general CS courses. [1] - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theoretical_computer_scienc

The repo/company you linked is about utilizing zero knowledge proofs which is literally the best we've got in regards to decentralization. If anything, that gives him credentials to talk about it?

I'd rather have a non-portable SQL feature than an app-level "portable" implementation that almost certainly is slower and non-transactional. Migrating to another DB will always take work, no matter how much you try to ignore

Haven't touched Java 8+ in a bit, but I remember Function2, Function3, Function4<P,Q,R,S> etc when referring to a closure. Streams used a ton of specializations like ToDoubleBiFunction<P, Q> meaning (P p, Q q) -> double.
