I have often thought that autistic people or socio-path people who have had to learn the appropriate responses to various human emotions would be a good resource for AI research in the area of developing more "human like" interact

Some years back I worked for a large corporation on a team that had a large number of "engineers" doing what seemed like pretty rudimentary work so I wrote a program to automate about 90% of the job functions. I thought I would be

Excellent work and very entertaining. However... over the years I have read many similar books although not as fun as this one, and what I have found is that the people who most need to read and understand it won't and wouldn't. A

This was a pretty good overview. I get asked this same question a lot because I have been working with microprocessors for decades and I have used many different ones from the old 8051 to Microchip, Arm and even FPGA embedded. The way I us

Yes, of course. Obviously if the IRS knows your income, knows you mortgage interest, interest on savings and dividends and it is all electronically recorded, there what is the point of filing. Only to keep accountants and tax software compa

Great read! I must admit, I have thought about this a few times in the past when I was on an airplane and thought what would I do if the plane split in two and thought about some of the things the author mentioned. One more tip, always wea

I was being a little flip of course, IQ is generally accepted to be a Gaussian distribution which is symmetrical, the mean and average are at 50 percentile so it is a little bit of a math joke that of course then, 50% of the people in a lar

Major flaw with democracy, 50% of electorate has below average IQ.

I absolutely love these obscure pop sub-references. Thank you for the post, it tickled my funny bone.

I get it the point they were trying to make is that you cannot understand the software by looking at the hardware. But I also agree that the analogy is very weak.

There is another factor that weighs into this, almost all of the carriers have aspects of throttling in their "unlimited" plans which, under the previous administrations interpretation of Network Neutrality would probably not have

Yes, but even so, they also have half bridge chips, all the biasing and compensation, the correct diodes etc. The point is, a motor controller chip is more modern way that the old transistor or MOSFET way. unless you are designing some chea

While we are on the topic of using more modern parts, if you are controlling a motor as shown in the example, why not use an H-Bridge chip ?

I have seen articles similar to this one a number of times. The thing that I wonder about is if there are certain personality types that would be less sensitive than others while still able to remain objective in terms of applying the stand

I actually did a test myself with pot a while back, also playing against a computer, my thinking there was that it would provide the most consistent opponent skill level. I tried varying amounts. I saw a fairly significant improvement with

I think there are limitations to how much someone can change. The analogy I would use is physical traits, you can loose weight, or you can exercise and increase strength and so on but there are limitations. I am 59 and no matter how hard I

My theory about innovation (and I think is related to creativity) is that humans are inherently very innovative. I think that is why we have been so successful as a species. But there are many organizations and constructs in society that te

Being unpredictable is not the same thing as being random. In chess or even football or other sports, you don't want to telegraph to your competitor what your next move is. For example if the other team knows you always run a draw play

OK, I stand corrected, maybe parrots understand what they are saying, but the core of my question is why can parrots speak and monkeys cannot?
807.
by zw123456 10y ago
So why can parrots be taught to speak? Of course they do not understand what they are saying but they can be trained to say words. Monkeys can be trained to do some pretty complex things in comparison to what a bird can do, it seems to me m

Good point, if I push myself too far then I end up focusing too much on the push. But on the other hand if I don't push at least part of the time, the end feeling is not as rewarding.
