This is a good paper exploring how computation with spiking neural networks is likely to work. https://www.izhikevich.org/publications/spnet.htm

I agree with this article. Coding is the easiest and best part of the job. Way more time is spent testing than coding. Why take away the fun part, making your job only about the verification of it.

One of the best ways to slow down an opponents OODA loop in soccer is to choose inconsistent actions from play to play. As a forward receiving the ball from defense: dribble (with speed changes), pass back, pass across, etc. It was pretty

I agree with you, but he didn't say the word "sorry". Check out "Thank You for Arguing" by Jay Heinrichs. It covers the same basic steps, but recommends to exclude the actual apology part. It's also a great b

I get your frustration with architecture of architecture. However this kind of AOA has been going on for a long time in a similar domain of control theory. Model Predictive Control is a method of applying a model of a process to estimate it

There's a lot of good information on modeling spiking neurons here: http://www.scholarpedia.org/article/Category:Spiking_Network... Also, I like the papers linked here by Eugene Izhikevich: http://www

This article reminds me of this polychronization paper that describes how networks of spiking neurons result in the emergence of groups, and some discussion on how that could explain consciousness as attention to memory. http://i

Plus you're pretty much screwed on RAII since you cannot return a value from the initializer. So by not using exceptions in C++, you also will often end up requiring a separate init function that can return errors.

It looks very cool, but they definitely moved & rotated slowly in the video. Hopefully they can keep the motion tracking processing latency low enough to not cause nausea.

I built my desktop from scratch (for the first time) in 2005, added a couple components from other computers as they died, and still use it with no issues. I've thought about upgrading components in it, but since they haven't die

I actually noticed a couple of months ago that it now takes 5-6 minutes to cook instead of ~4 to get the same consistency. That threw me off since I am the primary mac&cheese maker for my kids.

Thanks for the link to the acknowledgements.

There's actually a decent probability of memory corruption in space applications due to radiation. So in addition to checking communication across busses, application checksums are typically run continuously.

I've been using Org Mode with emacs for writing literate programs. You could write a simple front to Org Mode to decrease the clutter...but the hierarchical nature of the Org Mode files tends to reduce the issue of clutter already, so

This has been done before with a full human brain scale model in 2005. It took 50 days on 27 processor for that simulation. It's always good to have more research being produced, but this linked article is a bit short on information.

Given musashi's unparalleled swordsmanship, fluffy seems like a poor description. His life was a very direct reflection of his philosophy.

This adds a whole new meaning to "software bug".

This would be awesome...although I wonder how far out the fiber would go since I actually live in Limestone County.
