So many tools and libraries combine authorization and authentication, and it’s hard to find an authorization server that lets you outsource identity. (All too often the underspecified abbreviation “auth” is used to cover both.) Shameless pl

HTMs were a great theory but I never saw them function at more than 1 layer of hierarchy. So the “H” part was lacking. Anyway since we know that any part of neocortex can be reached from any other within 3 hops, and there is more feedback c

There are ample known facts and published theories about neuroscience that have never brought together into a coherent framework. Everyone has their pet theories and focuses just on them in isolation. Let me know when some funder is genuin

A few years ago Peterpaul developed a lightweight object-oriented system on top of C that was really pleasant to use[0]. No need to pass in the object explicitly, etc. Doesn't have the greatest documentation, but has a full test suite

In most B2B cases you really don’t want to self host authentication. Really. There are plenty of identity providers out there who will worry about hashing passwords, resetting them, 2FA, etc. Most client businesses already have identities v

Think about it. A “meaning” in this usage is definitely not a longer name.

IMHO (from the viewpoint of a neuroscientist) the biological inspiration is quite measured and restrained in his work… The problem he was proposing we solve is computing with heterogenous “machines”. This doesn’t preclude the regimented org

Actors solves a very different problem. Alan Kay was talking about enabling computing across heterogeneous systems.

At Alan Kay’s Viewpoints Research Institute, the problem was phrased in a more concrete form and a solution was provided — “Call by Meaning”[0]. The most succinct way I have found to state the problem is: “For example, getting the length of

There exists the Universal (Function) Approximation Theorem for neural networks — which states that they can represent/encode any function to a desired level of accuracy[0]. However there does not exist a theorem stating that those app

If you think about it, for embodied agents symbol grounding isn’t really the “problem”. Rather, embodied agents start with reference and indices. The hard problem is actually ungrounding — which takes work — to eventually get to things that

In an anthropological framework, social capital can be built up and exchanged for other forms of capital (including economic capital). There are even brokers who have the role of facilitating these transactions[0]. [0] https://be

In my experience, businesses are especially concerned with authorization — enabling product sales to customers. They would rather not deal with identity and authentication — usernames and passwords — at all. These are already quite nicely h

Yes. I was surprised that the OA gets as close as mentioning “golden apple” but misses that the Latin “aurantium” (from pomum aurantium) would sound awfully close to “orange”.

That’s why you need to sign up for CSA Pre™. Get preauthorized for instant escalation on customer support calls. All you have to do is answer a form with questions like: Do you know how to plug in a computer? Do you know where the power swi

Why should the fee be proportional to the price? If it’s about supporting infrastructure, take a percentage based on load on the infrastructure.

You are making a lot of incorrect statements about brains and vision. I would advise you to study some visual neuroscience. > Learning multilayer convolutional representations of statistical features is roughly equal to taking few first

Deep convolutional networks, by design, are unable to integrate contextual and ambient information present in an image (or in preceding images) to inform how to interpret local features they use. So it's no surprise they struggle with

Hi p1esk, RNNs can be more tolerant to noise because they can learn transient or dynamic attractors. If the inputs move an RNN into an attractor, small changes due to noise make little difference to the state. Recurrence can help with robus

Feedforward CNNs cannot tolerate as much noise and real-world variability as RNNs.

Doesn’t it seem plausible that “orange” rather comes from Latin aurantium based on the root aurum for gold? (Gold can appear orange-colored.)
