Except that as far as I understand, one of the inspirations for the Turing machine is to explain precisely the computations a human computer could perform with (potentially a lot of) pen and paper.

I think one should be somewhat skeptical of the claim that schizophrenia is completely absent in blind people; it might merely be more difficult to diagnose. Combined with the population of congenitally blind people being sufficiently small

It seems like it stems from a 2019 philosophy article written by Perry Zurn, titled "Busybody, Hunter, Dancer: Three Historical Modes of Curiosity." Zurn does write "At their most basic level, a busybody is someone who is cur

The human brain, the authors argue, in fact uses multiple networks when interpreting and producing language. These include: - the language network, which delivers formal linguistic competence - the multiple demand network, which provides re

Yes. This was a big part of the GPT-4o demos. But likely they've specifically fine-tune it not to show negative emotions in a serious fashion.

I don't think neural correlates of consciousness have been identified, so clearly there remains research to be done. I'm not in touch with the neuroscience literature, but acknowledging the hard problem of consciousness means one

I am hopeful that advances in brain-computer interfaces will start to provide a partial answer to the question of "what's there" and why it's there. It seems to me the ability to controllably augment one's own consc

The physical act of comparing two objects or testing one object against another would typically involve some physical contact or proximity, so even in the case of testing some code on something, it is natural in English to by analogy use th

A simple example of a function with a singularity is f(t)=1/t. Note that at t=0, f(t) is undefined due to division by zero. On either side of zero, the absolute value of f(t) approaches infinity. In this case, we are tracking the flow

What's your metric for the "percentage the code is wrong"? Is it how many lines of code were wrong, or how many test cases the code fails? Presumably if AI-generated code passes every test case, but would fail on edge cases t
