Symbol grounding is as much a problem in AI as whether or not our use of language is meaningful. Does our language encode particular models of the world? Yes? Good. Then AI models also encode models of the world.

With this, the recent executive order suspending temporary work visas, the cancellation of Robert Hanson and Steve Hsu, the recession... Not a great time to be part of the grey tribe right now.

All right. That's it. I'm porting over all my code to Clojure. Any tips to get me started? I'm writing a web app to process DAG-formatted data. EDIT: Looking at re-frame + reagent 'cause I have some React background. I a

How much would people pay for an expertise development app? Been coding one as a side project for some time now and I'm thinking I have to put it in front of actual users as soon as possible.

Huh, it absolutely does. Alan Macdonald wrote a book about geometric calculus and made a companion video series for it. Here’s the section defining manifolds: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jfwdlW7Yr_I That said, tensors a

We have the opposite goal. Mind sharing why? (I mean, aside from skyrocketing rent and the shifting startup tide)

That's an interesting problem. Maybe keep launching side projects until you can recoup what you can live on?

LinuxFromScratch.org might be up your alley, though I suppose it's still one level higher than actually writing your own kernel.

Hi Akina. Sounds like an interesting project, but my concern is that your title sounds rather demanding. In general, length until the request substitutes for politeness in English so I think better alternatives would be "Would apprecia

I know I don't sound like it, but I completely get where you're coming from. It's weird and rather sketchy to find out that someone you're talking to is just following rules in their head. It's just that for peopl

Logging and diagnostics in general seem to be cross-cutting concerns whose solutions keep getting discovered again and again. I wonder what happened to aspects, or monadic logging, etc.

Hmm, in my head, I model conversation as a game of who can get the mine the most "intimacy", if you will, while revealing the least about oneself. So risque topics are, as the adjective suggests, high risk, but also high reward. C

That is absurd! Was this an April Fools joke (can't load the PDF right now)? I can't imagine any use case for that feature that isn't going to be hell to maintain.

That was a hilarious read! Know more stories like it? I only got reliable Internet access in 2008 (kid in a third world country) and I've always been interested in the dot-com bubble days.
