>There is no such thing as "fair", people will take what they can according to market forces By that same logic, there is no such thing as "justice" and the entire legal system is a mirage? :)

Making left turns...stopping at red lights...these are success/failure criteria. In contrast, having a favorite food, or an opinion on politics, or a preference on what should be considered the best movie from the 1990's, or what

>Side question: how do we know if humans possess qualia? Can you express an opinion? Can you form a judgement? Do you have preferences? Do you like certain foods or dislike others? Then you possess qualia.

You nailed it. Thank you for cutting right to the heart of this debate.

It sounds like you're contradicting yourself. -- >Whatever way we demonstrate it, it isnt via Q&A. This is the worst form of pseudoscientific psychology you can imagine. ...versus... >Hash tables dont think, hash tables model

I would highly recommend "Neural Networks from Scratch". It will walk you through the code & theory at a granular level. Youtube Playlist - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wo5dMEP_BbI&list=PLQVvvaa0Qu...

Here's an example of what ZeroGravitas mentioned. This is a blog from the "old" Web2.0 days, when social media was nascent. This old man still updates his blog almost daily with content that would have him banned on Twitter.

You're just describing RSS feeds.

This is just RSS. It was released 23 years ago. It was very popular and a big part of the web. The model that harryvederci is describing is exactly what the internet looked like prior to the rise of Facebook/Twitter, during the dawn of

Like did the evolution of AI & ML research go like this? > We're stuck. After decades of research, we've hit a dead end. All we're left with is a byzantine maze of IF/THEN statements. We cannot simulate intelligen

This doesn't even feel worth learning. Feels like Economics in undergrad, listening to professors repeat broken, oversimplified models that are so hilariously wrong in their assumptions that they have to invent entirely new definitions

Yeah I've come across ReLU, and Leaky ReLU, tanh, Maxout, ELU. I guess I really, really need someone to explain to me like I'm a total idiot why I'd want to use a 2D function on data that might be (and probably is) multidimen

PaulHoule, on the other hand, gave a great example: >For instance, where should a modern book on digital photography be filed in the library? Should it go in the 000's with computing? In the 700's under art? Or in the 600'

Your example wasn't a good example. For starters, it's literally a binary decision to make (yes/no: is this jstx1 trying to unlock the phone?). Most of the tough, interesting, challenging problems in this world don't boi

My journey with Machine Learning so far: :D Oh, nonlinear equations! This is something I know a lot about. :) I think I see...so they use nonlinear equations in the activation function. This helps to create divergence, or sensitive depende

I posted it before I had realized you had a background in chaos theory. It's being discussed on HN right now, so it seemed timely and relevant. That said, the paper still touches on the same problems with reductionism and simplificatio

Thank you for your thoughtful and detailed response. I'm digesting your points and have some research papers and thoughts I'm going to share tomorrow, but here's an immediate response on #2. (2) Regarding: "beginning and
