Not ELI5 obviously but might help some. Transformer is a patterning probabilistic machine for a sequence of identities[1]. These identities are fed to the transformer in lanes. The transformer is conditioned to shift lanes one position to t

Life (aging) is a direct cause of cancer. And we can't change that unless we have some sort of nanobots constantly repairing DNA damage in every single cell of our body.

I know I'd never be able (or wanting) to live with having left my dogs behind. I don't fear my own death _that_ much. I'm here for them until they cross, only after that I can do whatever I want with my life.

Damn, so I really need to follow up on my plans on moving to e.g. Thailand (and getting happy by following my dreams in terms of work/endeavors). I don't have IBS but more like a colitis and I was really good for months but it cam

It's interesting to see how human understanding differs when it comes to complex, yet clearly defined topics, like machine-learning/Transformers. For comparison, my understanding of Transformers, after going through Peter Bloem&#x

OP here. The second sentence came out all wrong and the downvotes are deserved. What I was trying to ponder, was - given the summer blackouts (in certain areas) due to people running their ACs (more than on average) - how do we plan to cope

Forget all that. If we tried to swich half the cars to electric overnight, the power grid would collapse into a permanent blackout. Has anyone estimated the cost and time of upgrading the power grid for electric cars? Is hydrogen delivery f

There should be legal repercussions against anyone even suggesting something as blatantly illegal and tyrannical/totalitarian as this. Have we learn nothing from communism? Globally destroying web experience by mandating super-useless,

Mankind will most likely destroy each other using super-intelligence long before super-intelligence gets any chance to do so by its own volition. We are built on conflict, disagreement, misunderstanding and exploitation - it's part of

What happens (or what would happen) if you sit still in silence and darkness and try to observe these "feeling symbols" as they come and go? You could be better equipped for deep meditation and deep thinking than most of us, but m

For some reason the Apple TV YouTube app's recommendations are pretty abysmal compared to the desktop website or the iPad app, and Watch Later isn't saving the day either. Could be that the app displays a grid of just 6 videos per

Governments should be forced to choose between collecting income taxes _or_ taxing everyone through the general monetary inflation (a.k.a. money printing). They currently practice both - the income tax taxes the non-rich, and the inflation

A distinction should always be made between the government and the elites who influence it to benefit their interests. Being a member of the elite doesn't preclude one of being a (high-ranking) member of the government, or becoming a m

Use Openj9 to lower your RAM requirements. Use HotSpot for compatibility with tools like heap/thread dumpers and I guess profilers/debuggers.

Great, that basically means rendering the patent system defunct, going forward, when humans cannot outthink AI anymore. Sadly, AI will object this in court and win on all counts.

Amazing how our own brain can delude us by creating a feeling that we understand something because (apparently) we have produced a clear definition of it. Just a hint - each of these "facts" or "rules" mean slightly some

How about sleep, trackpad support/configurability, battery endurance, 4k display support, external monitor support? I've seen complaints about all of these wrt Linux on X1. Macbook now has the M1 going for it.

How would you define "common sense rules"?
