No, he's not. He's sushi, cold fish. He doesn't even know for sure if he's human. He can't be a good actor. Actually, if he's a replicant made to believe he's human, he might even believe he was doing a go

First, I don't see Blade Runner as a film version of DADOES - it's inspired by it, but it's its own story. Scott took all the liberties he wanted in the script and movie. I think the movie does a excellent job of leaving Deck

I played with NNs in the late 80's/early 90s, with little more than a copy of Hinton's paper, a PC and a C compiler. Obviously, I got no practical results. But I got the intuition of how they worked and what they could potent

There's a saying in Germany: if 10 people are at a table, a nazi sits at the table and they don't leave, 11 nazis are sitting at the table.

I don't know. Many of these ideas sound like "give me more of the same", reinforcing my current tastes and beliefs. The thing about going out there and interacting with stuff you don't know is that it had a chance of pus

It's not a matter of life and death, I agree - to some extent. Startups have very limited resources, and ignoring inconclusive results in the long term means you're spending these resources without achieving any bottom line result

If the law has specific clauses about this that the contract disrespects, these conditions are not worth the paper they are written on. At least in Brazil you can't enforce something the law doesn't allow in a contract - that clau

I am responding to this from my living room in Berlin, sitting on a sofa that belonged to my father, after having dined on a table he inherited from my grandfather. Both were brought with us when we moved from Brazil. So yes, people do want

I have an issue with calling any of the diagrams created by all the tools mentioned "ER Diagrams". Entities are not the same thing as tables, and Sr diagrams are not relational database table diagrams. A (semi) visual representati

I don't necessarily agree. Blocking ads on a private site is more like going into a bookstore, reading the magazines and books and not buying anything. At some point the store clerk will approach you and suggest that you either pay or

That's an interesting point, which leads me to my main reason for coming to these comments and leaving my 2 cents: there are way less best practices of there than one would believe by looking at all the places, people and firms offerin

That's the legal justification for blocking X now, not the root cause. Musk did more than refuse to appoint a representative in Brazil (which could be a subsidiary or any legal resident, not necessarily a native Brazilian). X had repre

I think we have a problem of semantics here. Your notion of "the brain internalizes insights" is very close to what the author means as memorizing patterns. They even gäbe a few examples where they started with rote memorizations,

And there is your arbitrage opportunity. If you can model how analysts will react to a particular timeseries, even if it was random until that point, you have some information about the future. It'd be a good question to figure out if

Almost everything you said. I learned Taiji after Karate, Judo and other arts, and I love how its principles can help me improve the techniques in these other arts. But it does have its own basics for punching, kicking, grappling, throwing,

There is a slight problem with that - it doesn't invalidate the idea of testing, but you do have to think about it. Taiji is not ring/cage wrestling, it was created as a fight art, and its most efficient applications usually will

That "very excellent tai chi fighter" is, if I'm not mistaken, Chen Ziqiang - son of Chen Xiaoxing and nephew of Chen Xiaowang, part of the family that the Chen style comes from. He's the current master of the original C

While your point is valid, we’ve had (maybe for lack of a feasible alternative, but still), for many decades, the option to purchase a physical copy of media that was under our sole control and available for as long as the media itself last

As the owner of a collection of over 1K CDs and several hundred DVDs and Blu-ray, I find that your last sentence should be expressed as your opinion, not fact. Particularly because you started the paragraph with “I find”, and then switched
