There is a huge memory leak in Preview since El Capitan and the display of PDFs sometimes fails when you zoom in. I have no idea how many users are affected by this, but it seems strange that Apple hasn't fixed it yet. Perhaps it is ju

Wait, so Steve Jobs wasn't a visionary. He was just a salesman exploring unexploited markets as any salesman does? Albert Einstein wasn't a visionary. He was just a physicist that explored unconsidered theories as any physicist do

In a recent estimate of the bits per synapse they found it to be an order of magnitude higher than previous estimates: http://www.eurekalert.org/pub_releases/2016-01/si-mco012016....

Skim.app is very suitable for Latex PDF preview (it even supports syncing given you have an Editor that supports it too, e.g. Emacs AUCTex or TexShop).

Care to list those reasons. Genuinely interested, and not sure which reasons you are referring to.

> The difference isn't easy to describe, but one such difference would be that a single extra stone can change a Go position value much more than a single pixel changes an image classification. A CNN can still distinguish extremely

Yes, the latter number was perhaps too conservative; no doubt about deeper predictions being easily possible, but I doubt even expert players consider many alternative paths in the search tree. They might recognize overall strategies which

It's because they have a much larger stack size than a human brain (which does not have a stack at all, but just various kinds of short term memories). An expert Go player can realistically maybe consider 2-3 moves into the future and

1. The value network is trained with gradient descent to minimize the difference between predicted outcome of a certain board position and the final outcome of the game. Actually they use the refined policy network for this training; but th

Great achievement. To summarize, I believe what they do is roughly this: First, they take a large collection of Go moves from expert players and learn a mapping from position to moves (a policy) using a convolutional neural network that sim

I can't recommend the Tree Style Tabs FF add-on enough for these kinds of "large sessions that diverge into many sub-sessions". If you ctrl-click a link, this add-on creates a new child-tab of the current tab and loads the li

Exactly. The divide between address bar and search bar is a much under-appreciated privacy feature.

Perhaps give Tree Style Tabs on FF a try.

How is FF ugly? I don't find the UI very different from Chrome and Safari.

Novelty seeking as reward function has been studied before in AI. See for example this: http://people.idsia.ch/~juergen/interest.html IIRC, DeepMind is also working on such goal functions to get their Atari playing RL-

I thought this would be about text-to-speech applications, while this seems more like an encoder-decoder problem (make the network learn a pattern and then let it reproduce it). I'm wondering how long it is until we see working TTS bas

Yes, the HC likely plays a role in working memory for associative, declarative and spatial information. Most of the working memory is believed to reside in the (prefrontal) cortex, though; in patterns of synaptic depletion (less than 15-30

However, we mostly only arm brains that have an IQ of <120 and some human values baked in (e.g. empathy to other humans and living beings; a family to protect, or dependence on other social structures that demand pro-social attitudes).

How about introducing a simple convention for indicating your degree of belief in similar manner to the sarcasm indicator /s: One could write for example /p1 .. /p9 to refer to the probabilities 0.01% .. 99.9%. That could res
