That’s not really the argument monkeybutton is making, the point is lobsters’ neural complexity is similar to ants, and orcas are comparable to humans.

It is true that photonic systems can multiply/add very efficiently. The limiting factor for optical neural networks are activation functions. Non-linear relationships are hard for photonics. State-of-the-art nonlinear features require

I concur with many other commenters here, this is a fantastic read. Though, I find the value in this book is not the discrete proposals Jaynes makes - his conclusions on schizophrenia are dubious at best. Jayne’s achievement is in his expla

But where does it end? Is all reason not based on a set of axioms? You can comment on your presuppositions, if you throw them all out then there is no (classical) logic. Philosophy is a conversation, and valid argumentation is that starting

Is it wrong to be opinionated? Feser quickly remarks on a problem of math: some mathematical constructs reflect the system of math more than reality. If your philosophy never touches the political, the reality, aren’t you merely creating a

baybal doesn’t contradict you. Deng radically westernized parts of the Chinese economy, but he also enforced the one child policy. The economic effects of a small young generation supporting a large aging population is witnessed in Japan: a

Whale fall described in chapter 81 of Moby Dick: Now, this occasional inevitable sinking of the recently killed Sperm Whale is a very curious thing; nor has any fisherman yet adequately accounted for it. Usually the dead Sperm Whale floats

This is a fun blog post, but I thought it was a little hard to follow. A few observations: When we added the features a new problem emerged: their ranges are very different from X1 meaning that a small change in θ2, θ3, θ4 have mu

HN aggregates, it has no illusions of creating original works. Occasional high-quality reposts are a virtue of HN, and I don't think HN suffers from the same regurgitation issues as film sites. The film websites often come with analysi
