Lol. We do not live in a meritocracy, you do not become a CEO with mere talent. (I realize you were being sarcastic, but misinterpreting you enabled me to make my point elegantly)

I agree, the way that the system reasons should be configurable by the system itself. Of course you have to give it some fundamental operation(ultimately we operate within the mappings of the universe), but this should be as low level as po

While I think the hypergraph is a great data structure, and I agree graph rewrite rules, written as graphs have a lovely symmetry, this approach feels too low level to me. Sure you can have graphs representing both data and process ala &quo

I wonder if someday in the future, when AI is common place, people will implement these early attempts at GAI on better hardware. Kind of like what we have done with the babbage difference engine.

Why is it important to have both n-type and p-type transistors in the same circuit, why not just use p type carbon nanotube transistors?

Yeah, I lost all interest in the story after seeing this.

The "Pentagon Wars" scene reminds me strongly of software development in many companies I have worked for.

I'm reasonably well versed in these topics, I found them unsatisfying, they don't capture the essence for me. I don't really know what I'm looking for I just know I haven't seen it yet.

I agree. I am not convinced that such a system is better. But I don't think the opinion expressed is infantile. Angry yes, difficult to convincingly argue, sure. But wrong? Who knows...

I often wonder if there is some notion of a basis of computation in mathematics. You can do stuff in binary, trinary, what about further out systems? What about working with functions/mappings which take more than two inputs. What can

Using this evidence of uniformity in order to accomplish a goal, is an act of faith. At the moment you initiate the motion to strike the cue ball in your cosmic game of billiards, you have acted with faith, you have shown that you believe i

Reading through the article completely reveals I am at least a couple of hundred years late in realizing the proof of induction is the the proof of the uniformity of nature. Perhaps you could do something by saying something about the evolu

This is my point everything is a belief. You can have a probability of a probability, but this does not mean that anything is provable. Proof is akin to probability in the limit. As the number of instances of outcomes are seen the probabili

For what it's worth, for all the people I never told that I thought this to be true. I told you so :)

Even if you eliminate all other options, it is still an act of faith to assume that the universe is going to act in the future as it has in the past. Why is there regularity in nature, how is it possible that it is compressible in this mann

The goal of mindfulness, in the traditions I have read. Is ultimately to understand that the act of watching is no different from the thoughts being watched. It is by doing the watching that one realizes over time that there is no watcher.

I am aware of the interesting duality between compression and learning. I have spent quite some time thinking about it. However I am still not convinced that this upper bound is going to provide us with the information that we need in this

Reminds me of this: "Don't worry about people stealing an idea. If it's original, you will have to ram it down their throats."

I'm not sure that is true. Take for instance the first 100 prime numbers printed one after another in a string. The string is long and apparently random, yet contains little algorithmic complexity, since the machine which prints out th

by ssdfsdf 12y ago
Hmm, yes this may be true, even in the average. I would still caution against using any old encoding technique on a string representation of the genome and using the compressed length as any sort of meaningful measure of the inherent inform

by ssdfsdf 12y ago
Why would you want to be compressing the string? For this to be useful you would need to be searching for the algorithmic complexity of the string, not merely how compressible it happens to be with, say, huffman encoding. Finding the algori

I love this. It makes perfect sense to me that intelligence need not be rooted in one physical object, the brain. Rather it is a property of certain kinds of system, regardless of any particular instantiation. Why are people so conservative

I do too. A little idea I have had is to record the paths of developers through this graph of code units and use this information to cluster similar groups of code. This clustering could then inform the way the UI is rendered. So a develope

I had the opposite problem. I took my degree because I was hoping to become a CS academic or at least be involved in theoretical work. I ended up with a vocational course. I was/am extremely unhappy.

I second this, it really is a fantastic physical puzzle game.

It's not sarcasm. There is nothing you can do for them that will be better than allowing them the free time to learn at their own pace from the internet. A highly gifted or profoundly gifted child does not need education in the traditi

We don't need to do anything for these kids. They have the internet now, that is all that is needed.

Why are they still trying to turn a tablet into a desktop? They are different things, with different purposes - not everything needs to be the same thing. Tablet All The Things!!

Because as someone who is very sensitive to alcohol, I have spent my adult life resisting pressure to drink more. I often end up with 2 day hangovers, because yet again I have allowed someone to convince me that one more drink won't hu
