This is awesome! Two features requests: 1. A plot over time 2. Could you adjust the income for inflation, so when you click back 1yr your income goes down accordingly?

This is excellent! I can't wait for Pixar to pick this up and release a gorgeous hand-painted film.

"Unexpectedly, watching videos also benefited intelligence (standardized β = + 0.12)" I would love to know what "watching videos" means here. There's a big difference between educational YouTube (Kurzgesagt, Physic

For a long time, I was skeptical that model-free RL would ever be useful on robots. Dramatic advances in simulation have changed my mind. With domain randomization enabling sim2real transfer, it may soon be that classical control is rendere

The demo here is underwhelming compared to old-school winamp visualizers. But I think that with deep learning, there is now a real opportunity to make a kickass visualizer. Take a GAN and set the latent vector according to the DFT of the au

This description of Lex Fridman's research is generous. If you listen to his own podcast (previously called the Artificial Intelligence podcast, now the Lex Fridman Podcast), you'll find that he has a knack for missing the deeper

Don't get me wrong, Bitcoin is an ecological nightmare and I think it should be shunned accordingly. But the "fun-fact" that it consumes more energy than solar produces is false. "Power generation from solar PV is estima

Pretty amazing build! It really reminds me of the insects from Miyazaki's Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind.

"Your time is your most important asset." Agreed. That being the case, do you really want to read 20-200 pages of introduction and as much conclusion with a relatively low channel capacity? That simply cannot compare to watching

Can we get some snoops to do super-resolution? I'm sure there's some clever way to combine multiple frames and de-convolve the blur...

Shriram Krishnamurthi is the real deal. When I started at Brown I was majoring in Mech-E and took a programming course with Shriram on a whim. It was the hardest course I took in undergrad. Needless to say, I switched my major to Computer S

Totally agreed. It's so frustrating to me that out of the thousands of brilliant interviewers out there, we got this guy somehow bubbling up to the top. Maybe he brings the conversation down to the masses? His "philosophical"

I think that this is question is in the direction of Stephen Wolfram's approach to AI. Namely: build a programming language that is capable of solving all kinds of problems (Wolfram Language), and then you will have condensed all the k

This seems like a HUGE insight! As I understand it, they show that RL can effectively be recast as two sub-problems: 1. learning a policy that imitates your own behavior on prior experience, which is a trivial supervised learning problem 2.
