Excuse me, another followup question (can't edit on mobile): can you ELI5 how do exploitation and exploration "emerge" naturally instead of the tradeoff being explicitly coded as in RL?

Yes, although looking at what other people have commented, "our" intuition is quite basic. I will try to read more about FEP.

I see, thanks. Is any AI research center/company trying to model this idea, instead of applying RL?

Many thanks for your answer.

By no means will I be ever able to grasp Friston's theory, but the free energy minimisation vaguely reminds me of Curiosity-driven reinforcement learning. Can anyone with more understanding than me confirm or deny this apparent resembl

That's right, but imho type hints are no the way to go, specially when many types could actually be statically inferred by the compiler/interpreter. Perhaps the solution would be a full blown programming language which transpiled

I enjoy coding in Rust, and I think it's a step in the right direction, but I'm still looking for a general purpose programming language which model IO/State effects the same way languages supporting functional programming do

If it's a pedestrian, you will do whatever is necessary to avoid it. You will break suddenly or you will even do a very heavy turn. In other words, you will probably put your own life in danger, and for a good reason. If it's a ca

This looks exactly like an online version of Talend.

Yes, I agree. But in the article I shared, they say that this goal-oriented language would be somehow "imperative" in the sense that you would be telling to the computer concrete things to do, just from a (much) higher abstraction

Wow, very interesting. I'm familiar with Prolog and its implementation, but definitely didn't know all of that.

Great, thanks!

I will. Thanks!

So, start small with a niche? Thanks.

Excellent, thanks!

Very interesting. Gonna read it. Thanks.

Right, but these languages are declarative.

Excellent idea and implementation, not so god naming. Might I suggest a name (.com not taken)?

Funny to see how many "analysts" laugh at Brandon without even realising that their "analysis" use to be very flawed.

I see, thanks.

How much weight have you lost? Were you somehow obese? Were you fit? Have you lost muscle mass? Sorry if I'm getting too personal, genuinely interested.
