It's also obvious and it's hacky. Frankly I'm stunned this hasn't been tried yet. The people thinking this is a stepping stone to More Intelligence are missing the forest for the trees. Deep learning is always and only e

I believe one example would be quantum annealers. Where "programming" involves setting the right initial conditions and allowing thermodynamics to bring you to an optimum via relaxation.

You're missing the point entirely: framing the swarm as "covering interstellar distances" is misleading and betrays a certain naivete in thinking about space travel that compromises the reporting on this plan.

I'm not sure "swarm over interstellar distances" makes any sense here, then. How many stars are within 100,000 km of each other and what percentage of stars does that represent?

I appreciate linked data / the semantic web and its domain model-forward approach, labeled "ontologies". Organizing relationships between objects and actors contextualizes them and forces you to pursue parsimony. It's ni

Can you say relativistic corrections hell? "Over lightyears" means it takes literally years for these things to coordinate moves with each other, to say nothing of post-launch coordination messages from Earth.

The entire reason SGD works is because the stochastic nature of updates on minibatches is an implicit regularizer. This one perspective built the foundations for all of modern machine learning. I completely agree that the most effective reg

Accessibility isn't just about possibility, it's about ergonomics. You could integrate a differential equation by lining rocks up in a large desert as a computer, but you wouldn't say that solution is "accessible"

Behavior in high dimensions is even weirder than you might think, because you're nearly always close to a saddle point. There's way more saddle points than minima or maxima (consider modeling the sign of eigenvalues for the Jacobi
