We need more AI working in the domain of computer security. Stuff that learns under specific guidelines to restrict computational behavior, given specifications of expected behavior.

I love implementing stuff like standardizations. Seriously, I love reading documentation that has lists of codes meant to concisely summarize specific frequently occurring events. I am the biggest nerd when it comes to pouring through docum

It's one way of thinking of what learning is. Some learning just is experience. Simplifying the experience, using the mind, can sometimes make the learning more complex than it needs be. Choosing to make the distinction between the tho

I loved mathematics throughout school. I don't know about anyone else, but I can see quite clearly how mathematics has shaped the way I think and form concepts, ideas, and understandings of my perception of the world. I would say that

But why. I would think the gnome is the perfect size to pick up exactly one flower pot (the next smallest) and would also be able to recall a dividing line (because the gnome is tiny and prefers traveling less).

I sometimes find it hard to differentiate between analysis and drowning in my own mind. I seem to purposefully pick problems that have no answers, and if I feel myself getting close to an answer, I make a mess of it. It's either fear o

That's always the problem, is how much and in what way can you dedicate yourself? And is it more a waste to spend idle time analyzing this than actually doing something? But is it the doing that creates the problems? I don't have

I know. I might as well blame myself for breathing out air that is used by a tree that is used to build a house that houses the person who pushes the red button of destruction. It's like tunnel vision, following one path of articulatio

I just sort of picture humanity as ants, building a little colony made of silicon and symbols. It's just nature, a natural outgrowth of our existence. It can manifest in any direction, and the direction it is supposed to go in is the o

I've had job offers for programming drones. I was involved with computer security for a while, and I still have a strong interest in every computational and mathematical aspect of it. I have friends that work on those things. I like th

Yea, the repetitive analysis usually stems from using the same model of which to analyze the data by. It's insufficient. That helps me turn it off, listen to other people, go about my life, learn new ways of thinking, connecting, inter

I think that depends on what you call 'meaning'. Is meaning an intuitive, instinctive representation of something? What I mean is, for every word that exists, do those words trace back to a reality origin through a pattern of subs

Nah, I sort of agree. I graduated with almost 4.0 for my masters. There's so much more I am learning now - things everyone who didn't do well in school learned - humility, balance of life and work, ability to adapt without explici

There is a large mathematical foundation behind machine learning, that is not even taught to most computer science students. The concepts that built machine learning are often found in engineering and mathematics: It's not easy to lear

Art is derived from culture. Subconscious, no, that's old hat. Just think of art as 'reality' with substitutions consisting of a selected subset of permutations of commonly used contemporarily composed and defined symbols. It
