Makes me wonder how much better these systems would be at online learning as opposed to systems that require separate training and inference. This is especially relevant in a dynamic environment for applications such as robotics.

Yeah, I don't think it's mentioned in the paper however in the New Scientist podcast it was alluded to by the lead author that there is currently work being done to compare. I'd reason that they are looking at wall clock time

That's fascinating. It reminds me of this clip from Adam Curtis's All Watched Over By Machines of Loving Grace where they got lots of random people to play Pong in a theatre in the 90s: https://vimeo.com/78043173

So it looks in the paper they're using a theoretical framework called the Free Energy Principle developed by Prof Karl Friston at UCL which postulates that brains have evolved to minimise the amount of information surprise between thei

Yeah but there are lots of companies doing this already including Intel that has poured millions into their Loihi neuromorphic chips.

Found the visualizer they used for the videos here - https://spikestream.corticallabs.com Very cool WebGL implementation. I hope they release the dataset so that we can visualize all the games and maybe do our own analysis on th

Really? I haven't found it an issue to get friends or family to sign up for Element. In fact it's even better because you don't need to use your mobile number for that.

Some people can't fathom how people in China can live under perceived authoritarianism are also those who use iPhones and support Apple's decision to lock down the AppStore and iOS because of privacy and safety safeguards. See the

Monopsony is also deemed to be anti-competitive and illegal. Technically as an app developer or service provider, when you're selling an app or service on iOS, you're not selling it directly to the user. You're actually selli

How did you get Looking Glass to work with macOS? I don't think it's supported as host OS.

I guess if the stem-cells are taken from you as a donor then they would be genetically identical to you as much as twins are genetically identical individuals?

It's funny how Fortnite which is owned by Epic which is owned by Tencent is turning out to be the 21st Century's new Opium Den.

The cost blowout in healthcare isn't due to diagnosis or care but administrative costs. All these diagnostic AIs won't significantly reduce the cost of healthcare nor improve quality. What we really need is automated administratio

Exactly the reason why unbridled capitalism is terrible. I'd imagine that if we had a genocide going on today, a company like Bayer would be rewarded by its shareholders for manufacturing Zyklon B since the only reason for a corporatio

So much for Silicon Valley corporations and their "culture" and founding myths. I guess people don't even remember that Google once you used to have an informal mantra of "Don't be evil."

It does but not where it matters. You want places that are willing to fork out big money for flagship phones. An example of this would be China vs India. China is a better market to be in to maximise profitability as the Chinese are more li

Hope - the best commodity that you can sell. It's no wonder Tinder is up there on the Play Store as the second highest grossing app alongside all the online gambling apps. That's because Tinder and all the online dating platforms

OK rather than outright calling this out as "redpill bullshit" can you refute it with any substance?

Chaos is indeed deterministic but only in the first few iterations. The limitation we have is computational power. The further into the future we go, the hard it is to determine the outcome. The best example of this would be weather forecas
