I hope tptacek chimes in. It sounds like a terrifying situation.

I wonder what the widest house is like? Perhaps the same house?

So how long until one of the major tech players buys (or we hear rumors or talks of purchasing) a TV network or even a studio?

I'd like to but it'll be 4 or 5 by the time I could get there. i'd probably just break their toilet or something on accident, as I'm prone to do at parties. edit: And yes, Mr. Matt rocks. He even offered to pick me up at caltrain.

Too bad it takes caltrain 1.5 hours to get up there from SJ. oh well. Thanksfor the offer and happy thanksgiving

Can someone summarize how they manage to do this? I once read that it involved that they sell a product rather than a service. I don't know where I read that but I'm curious why this doesn't apply more often to other products?

I was going to ask about new markets but he seems to cover it: live in the future? Anyone else have other methods?

> Go to conferences. ... Find conferences that relate to it and attend... later, speak at said conferences. Well, I'm screwed. I can barely speak in private or deal with people. Perhaps someone else can use your advice, though.

How do you make business acquaintances? I have a hard enough time leaving the house.

So what do I do if I don't have a blog or any real friends to refer me? I don't know anyone at all here in SV and no one seems to want me anyways. On the flip side, I suppose that there are people that could use me but they don't know how t

How do you find good hardware companies? They seem to be rare. I imagine they come to you but for someone like me, I am at a loss.

by sown 14y ago
Neat. Every time I find a company that I think is worth working for, I spend time on a good cover letter to try to get interest or even play around with their API and build something simple. Meraki was one of those companies I cared enough

So what happens when I let it go to the other direction too much? It seems like I can't do anything and make anything in my life happen. When I get home from work all I can do is sleep or lie down. I'm positively bored most of the time but

I almost joined the Navy's http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_Power_School . Back then it seemed like it would be really technically challenging but I chickened out at the last moment. :( oh well. Given how my life has gone so far maybe

I seem to remember on Scientific Frontiers with Alan Alda, back in the mid-late 1990s, him demonstrating something similar but not as performant. Neat.

If you break your ubuntu 12.04 install because nvidia driver 304 breaks, here's how you fix it. Hopefully you made backups of your x config files (it's a selectable option when you install new nvidia drivers). If it's x is truly broken, the

I never really understood what those words meant, "Live life fullest, live like its your last day, etc" Can anyone tell me what that really means?

> and AI mostly doesn't try to do that anymore, I think part of the problem is that we don't even know what AGI really is. How do you define conscience in a rigourous way. Doesn't mean it can't be done without such work but it just seem

>1. Senses to obtain features from ‘the world’ (virtual or actual), >2. A coherent means for storing knowledge obtained this way, and >3. Adaptive output/ actuation mechanisms (both static and dynamic). What does that even mean?

by sown 14y ago
I think people are suspicious or dismissive of AGI, HTM, etc because...well...there doesn't seem to be anything really to it. People who know AI I've talked to in the know about HTM don't know anything about it or have mildly negative thing

Some controller better than no controller. I was allegedly a kernel engineer at one time but never go to do any kind of development work, so this sort of thing intrigues me greatly. What hardware did you have?

That sounds neat. If by chance you ever write a tutorial I'd be all ears! :D

Just because it happened for personal computers isn't a guarantee that it will happen with home 3D printers. It's nice to be excited about this tech but you need to pay attention to what potential customers are saying, too. We need to find

I think the problem now is that I can't relate. I don't like restaurants, food, social networks, music or whatever else it is people are into it seems. I don't have any professional contacts or anything really outside of software so I don't
