If it isn’t clear to everyone, this is a gesture meant to calm public populace fears about “AI”. First of all, there is no definition of “AI”. It’s a running joke in the community that once an “AI” approach gets good enough to be commoditiz

I am once again baffled by folks in the tech industry being totally unaware of what came before them. You are, in a way, asking what consciousness is and how one could recognize it. This has been a philosophical topic for millennia; this is

I feel like fluff articles like this are written by people who have never actually been in the situation they write about. One of the first things one learns when working professionally is to say “I’ll look into that and get back to you” or

It never ceases to baffle me how people in the tech industry are completely unaware of everything that preceded them. The meandering exploration described in this article could have been short circuited by an understanding of things are sta

I echo others here in the sense that “mastering programming” is not well defined. It’s interesting to try to define what that might be though. For example, I know people who would qualify as “master Java programmers” if there ever was one,

I'll respectfully disagree. The fact that the data is from 1915 - 1920 does not invalidate it unless you want to suggest that human nature in 1915-1920 is different than it is now - which would seem a strange point to defend. And the s

I don't see what you could be referring to with the "race" comment besides "Jewish". Judaism is not a race. Why do you say that it's better to leave race out of it when nobody has mentioned race?

It sounds like you haven't actually understood that argument. "The guy in the room" has always been a minor detail. Furthermore, machine translation has existed since before convolutional neural nets, so your whole point fal

>Philosophers interested in mind and cognition tend to take a great deal of interest in developments in CS and neuroscience. And they tend to mangle it by inserting rigorous scientific results into a nonrigorous framework that often ends

>Signs and Signifiers Semiology is perhaps among the farthest removed from information theory, and computer science in general.

Logic is taught exactly in mathematics and computer science programs as a mandatory topic. Philosophy programs place far less emphasis, often providing it only as an elective.

Ah, a well-informed opinion then. None of your comments so far have contributed anything to this discussion. Please try to keep to the spirit of HN when commenting.

I didn't mean to up vote, sorry; less than 25% of women are CEOs, and there's no indication of overlap between these two groups.

The implication of the headline is that the reader should think, "Congratulations on make it to space despite being Muslim." In other words, shit headline. And the headline's focus on being Muslim completely ignores all of th

Your suggestion is nonsensical to me. The two books have significantly, if not entirely, different airs, purposes, domains, styles, and audiences.

Of course, there are entire subfields of psychology that directly and routinely engage with neuroscience. But behavioral psychology generally does not; in any case, the narrative given in the linked article speaks entirely and solely from t

There is no factual disagreement of the observed effect, you are correct. The particular (potentially subtle) line I was trying to draw is that there is not necessarily a one-to-one correspondence between biases known to psychology and bias

I'm afraid you'll have to explain your perspective to me as if I'm five years old. In your original comment, you say, >a constant times the $-e_r/r^2$, and the time derivative of that is definitely not zero. I don&#x2

This article is poorly researched and psychologists are the wrong people to ask about this phenomenon. The region of the brain (at least chiefly) involved in facial recognition is the facial fusiform gyrus, and was named as such because of
