Prediction can be extremely fast.

"I don't see how you can predict workloads off of historical data" ... Think about that part, then:)

This is extremely promising. Makes you wonder if we ought not go further and implement a machine learning-based scheduler that studies and anticipates workloads and schedules accordingly so as to help jobs complete as quickly as possible.

Yes, it is a removal / diminishment / dissolvement / insert-word-here of the self, depending on the kind and amount that you do. That's what the article talks about, and that's what psychedelics do in general. And c

I agree and I suspect that by breaking up the default network psychedelics give us the opportunity to settle into a new, healthier attractor / mindset. They are also pretty dangerous - not everyone comes back and they lose themselves.

Just because you don't like the point doesn't mean I am mocking anyone - it's a legitimate point. What do you think the dissolvement of the self entails? No Self! You literally cease to feel like you exist independently of th

A reductio does not suggest that an argument is false. It is instead a tool that is useful for contrast enhancement. The real meat of the point I made is that there cannot be evidence for the OP's claim. It's just an opinion found

@nefitty, you posit that the diminishment of the self is a "permanent positive change." But you didn't provide any evidence. The reductio of your argument is that it's better to just be matter, since no self is involved.

The post successfully made the point, evidenced by it evincing a deeper feeling in you.

This is a negative result :) (the method doesn't work)

Very cool. Can it discover itself? :)

TBH I can't remember the last time I saw non-normalized correlations in a study and the paper lost some credibility.. who does that, and why? What does a correlation of 25.76 mean? Relative to what? That's why you bound it 0 to 1.

If they win all appeals, can they sue the government for lost revenue?

In the limit it is hypocritical to select against someone who wants to select against people. This is where moonconf falls short - in the limit, they would kill in the name of empathy. Complete hypocrisy.

Depends on what exactly you did, but the SVM doesn't maximize calmness - it finds a maximally separating hyperplane that separates calm data from not-calm data. If you had real-time biofeedback then the person wearing the handband migh

"We used a support vector machine to maximize the "calmness" output of the band" fyi, this doesn't make sense.
