For me, AI is now in the same category as religion; I don't talk about it because nothing good ever comes out of these type of "discussions." We should be more open minded and humble about how to approach this problem but alm

ADHD = Breadth First Search ADHD + meds = Depth First Search One is not inherently better or worse than the other. I also do not think that it is healthy nor meaningful to ask questions like how do people with ADHD deal with XYZ, where XYZ

The majority of the population has been brain washed into believing that they need a computer that's physically attached to them 24/7. I believe that there is immense value in not having a smart phone. It's a value that can&

I felt the exact same way. Personally I've found the best thing is to see a lot of problems. The more problems you've solved, the more reference points you have for solving future ones. But these have to be problems that you'

The downtime from not having a smart phone allowed more time for me to contemplate my life and sow the seeds for better future decisions. Information and convenience is useful up to a certain point after which it can actually become a hindr

I think you're the one who needs an eye opener. America does not have a monopoly on talent or knowledge. Stop counting on being born in the right place and blaming other people who work harder than you.

Recently I've avoided buying certain things just because I didn't want to put in the time to do my own research on it. I would rather not buy it than take the risk of getting ripped off buy a fake review. Some things are worth the

To be clear, once we understand the principles behind the neocortex, only then it will make sense to ask questions about the importance of oscillations or how it relates to asynchronous vs synchronous systems, and many more phenomenon we ha

This is like saying that all flying birds have feathers therefore we must have something similar to feathers on a flying machine. Simply emulating things just because it feels like they should be important is not a particularly promising ap

Humans have been underestimating the difficulty in building truly intelligence machines since the 50s. Whenever we do reach it, what will happen after that is really anyone's guess. Those who pretend to know are just selling you their

It really amazes me how under-rated the surface book is (mainly due to a bad launch). Most of the early glitches have been ironed out and now there's honestly nothing else like it. What little it lacks in terms of reliability, it makes
