I'll add - Flip the back and recent apps button in three button navigation. It's such a weird decision - like only left handed people should be able to comfortably use three button nav. Literally hurt my thumbs to use the phone. -

Surprised no one has said the following; study AI and try make a meaningful contribution to the field. It may sound trite, but the most likely way we solve the climate crisis is by solving AGI first, hoping it doesn't cause a doomsday

The pre-print say the pulses occur with a frequency of ~0.05 Hz (once every 20s). So at a guess the video is sped up 20x.

Both MAS and (the earlier) EWC facilitate continual learning through passing a bunch of samples through the network and collecting gradients to determine which weights are 'important'. Future weight changes are then regularised by

Hmm, maybe I'm wrong then. Though I could imagine that if this happened to you legitimately that you would have some legal recourse to get your money back; you fulfilled your end of the return by posting it, its not your fault the cour

Well there is nothing for them to check. From what I've read, they wait two weeks then mark the package as 'lost in transit'. I think for the last-mile of delivery, couriers rely on the actual address written on the package,

This this a clear cut case and amazon should process the refund, however, in general refunding is a hard problem for Amazon to solve due to the sheer volume fraud that occurs. For anyone unaware, go to telegram and do a public search for &#

Do you have and references on your last point about algae? I have this (totally unsubstantiated) idea that plundering the oceans of fish along with rising temperatures will result in the oceans sequestering incredible amounts of CO2 via alg

What's weird is that a couple of weeks ago Coinbase launched trading in Tether on Coinbase Pro. You would think this exposes them to much risk. I've been scratching my head about why they did it.

I'm convinced that something similar is happening to Boris Johnson's tweets at the moment. Every time he posts, many of the top responses are exact copies of each other saying something like "the country is behind you, my pri

> The idea of using "rewards" as a primary learning mechanism and a path to actual cognition is just wrong, full stop. It's a wrong level of abstraction and is too wasteful in energy spent. A lot of research in RL is focus

I wonder how plausible it is to genetically engineer algae to sequester more carbon e.g. make them bigger and heavier so they sink to the bottom of the ocean, and also make them reproduce faster. Does anyone know anything about this? (I don

I looked into it briefly a few months ago but I'm not a biochemist/plant scientist; there is a lot of research on growing human organs, not so much growing fruits. I'm sure it's possible to trick a plant stem cell into t

I wonder if we'll ever see indoor farms which grow fruits from stem cells, without the need for the rest of the plant.

All the new mobile banks seem to do their ID verification/KYC using video selfies. Interesting to consider whether deepfakes are being used in wild to fool these systems and commit fraud.

Mind-boggling. They train on each game for a total of 1e11 frames of experience. At 30 FPS that is ~106 calendar years of constant gameplay.

I was guilty of this once and would add some more specific advice; if your dataset consists of multiple possible labels for the same samples, do not just assume that the average of these labels will describe the best label. And don't a

The opposite of free will is not necessarily pre-determination. It's probably the case that events proceed randomly at atomic levels and this randomness snowballs into more macro events (e.g. neurons discharging).
