There is a consistent lack of experts in general intelligence and computer science in these conversations. Expertise in both these areas seems important here but has been brushed aside everytime I've brought it up.

MD PhD student here and this is 100% on the money and what many I work with try to do. The diagnostic classifiers seem to be about pushing papers and getting funding.

Can't you do a similar heuristic with view compared to likes?

Are places generally adding more than the recommended level of fluoride in their water? How much water do you have to ingest to reach the maximum recommended exposure? Given how bad people are at drinking the recommended level of water, I&#

I've been working on a PR to document and make atomic pointer interface public in Julia. It's really not that hard to handle it under the hood so that array indexing and translates to LLVM and C zero indexing.

Its the one genre of music that I just don't like. I don't like smooth jazz but I've heard songs I can get into. But country music is different. I even spent a couple years putting a dedicated effort into trying to be toleran

I erased a lengthy response I was writing because I think our sentiments may actually align. In short, I'm about as certain that these computers aren't going to achieve intelligence in my lifetime as I'm certain that the worl

The lack of efficiency in the brain is a trade off for adaptability. There's no doubt that we can transmit signals faster than neurons can fire but the cost is drastically reduced adaptation. There are micro, meso, and macroscopic netw

Love the visualizations. It would be great to have `realloc` covered too but I'm not sure how much that varies by system, potentially making it too complicated for this sort of post.

That last bit is how I sometimes feel about figuring out how the brain works compared to casually learning computer science stuff on the side. I love being a part of improving our knowledge of how the brain develops and sometimes goes wron

I think the title was intended to be more playful and fun than a serious take on the most technically intense applications of threading in C++.

Amen. There's always that first time where you're able to trick them but then they know and start to realize you sometimes trick them. For us that meant this obnoxious gap between being smart enough to avoid deception and smart en

I see where you're coming from but we've had a lot of politicians over the last several years implicated in some pretty bad stuff. From sexual harassment to sex trafficking.

Refinement types are pretty interesting and I've seen mention of them recently. I'm curious if there are any practical reasons we don't see them implemented in more languages.

But that's per person and if you have a family it's easy to get over $100 for a theater trip.

I didn't even know some of these things were being worked on until recently. I totally understand why devs don't treat development like a Twitter feed, posting every thought that pops into their head instead of working. However, i

From a non-technical point of view (since the technical answer was already provided) I think this sort of magic optimizations is a double edge sword in any language. No matter what you do there will be corner cases that need manual tuning t

If you frequently want to develop and maintain publicly uses functionality that requires writing some in a faster compiled language and then binding to an interactive one like R or Python. Test coverage and multiuser maintenance is way eas

Saw elsewhere you were on PC. I'm on a series x and it plays really well. I don't know how much time I've spent on it but it was way too much because I was getting back into a C++ project and played it whenever I had long com

I still remember sitting on my father's lap as a small child while he played Wolfenstein on the computer. Then my mom got mad at him for letting me watch him play.

We don't really do brain mapping in the sense that would apply to nanotechnology. The actual mechanism of working memory is pretty hard to establish in humans at this level.

We use this in my lab and I think you this is a lot more complex than better or worse on the task as a whole. Certain kind sof stimuli will interact with subject memory in different ways. So even if there's research saying another spec

This is interesting for basic research but this strategy is unlikely to ever make it to human research. We need to find ways of extracting more information at reasonable Tesla. 9T just isn't gonna make its way to clinic

So true. There are still plenty of areas where we lack sufficient data to even approach applying this sort of model. How are we going to make similar advances in something like medical informatics where we not only have less data readily av

Just by virtue of how the human brain transducers auditory signals versus visual signals there is a big disparity in being able to automate music production. We fill in many gaps for vision but to a much smaller degree for music. There&#x27

This isn't like genome fingerprinting. It's only possible with someone's consent because you have to put them in a machine and accurate fingerprinting like this takes many hours of acquisition before it's reliable. Getti
