I was wondering if we should put "seller unique rfids" on everything so the trash can be sorted and returned to the seller. Then we just add the cost of recycling to the cost of the product. Alternatively, add a "recycler uni

I'm curious. Why are you still long on GE given today's news? Do you disagree with Markopolos' findings?

It is easier to just list the meta skills regardless of major: 1) You should always be learning. 2) You should mostly do interesting work you love. 3) You should foster good friendships with your highly ranked coworkers; at least having din

A broken cpu might produce a correct answer but you shouldn't trust it. Hypocrites are not trustworthy even when they are right.

Note you can create a game where the simulated world has random variations and the RL algorithm will learn to handle it. If you don't train for it, obviously it won't learn it. Check out this video from mit/openai: https:&#

Paint is made up of fixed colored pigments. How can you compute the color of a mixture of different color pigments? Lets say you have a mixture of particles with color c1 and c2 and you know the concentration is x% c1 and (100-x%) c2? The m

GANs are a battle between the discriminator and the generator. If the G places eyes in the wrong place, the D and G eventually get error signals that cause them to improve. Using pooling layers, CNNs build features that look across the enti

STEM evolved to answer questions about our world. You could just give those questions to your characters and have them work out the answers the way humans did. For example: How do we know the world is round? Why can't we jump into oute

My advice applies to the worker who has done enough research to feel confident that they've found a vastly better way that is likely to meet with resistance.

I suggested to my engineering director that we pivot our dev effort to avoid what I thought was a pending disaster. He responded that as long as he was director he would never make the change I suggested. Six month later the CEO replaced hi

Since, we can only see "the observable universe", how do we know how much mass is beyond our view? If we don't know what is there, why do we think there is missing mass?

I agree. The super wealthy prefer seclusion but it is hard to hide a 10 bedroom mansion and a superyacht. It is better to provide a strong "foxnews education" so there is no need to hide. Honestly, I wonder if a symbolic model wou

You may need two jobs for a brief amount of time. One that pays the bills. Another that drives your passion. Think of your first job as "bootstrapping" your second job. Just make sure the first job doesn't take so much effort

Slightly off-topic... From The China Hustle, Dirty Money, and The Big Short, it is clear people are putting a lot of trust in the "free market" across the board. Society seems convinced that abusive behavior is acceptable collater

Could you add an option to copy/clone/use a github public repo? I would love to "mount" the github repo for tflearn and run the examples. Ideally, I would love a curated list of public repos per language that lets me exp

For me "learning math" is a language translation process. The math text uses terms and symbols that are hard to remember. I just rewrite the math text to get it into a form I can read without stopping to figure out an unfamiliar t
