If it isn’t clear to everyone, this is a gesture meant to calm public populace fears about “AI”. First of all, there is no definition of “AI”. It’s a running joke in the community …

I am once again baffled by folks in the tech industry being totally unaware of what came before them. You are, in a way, asking what consciousness is and how one could recognize it…

I feel like fluff articles like this are written by people who have never actually been in the situation they write about. One of the first things one learns when working professio…

It never ceases to baffle me how people in the tech industry are completely unaware of everything that preceded them. The meandering exploration described in this article could hav…

I echo others here in the sense that “mastering programming” is not well defined. It’s interesting to try to define what that might be though. For example, I know people who would …

I'll respectfully disagree. The fact that the data is from 1915 - 1920 does not invalidate it unless you want to suggest that human nature in 1915-1920 is different than it is now …

I don't see what you could be referring to with the "race" comment besides "Jewish". Judaism is not a race. Why do you say that it's better to leave race out of it when nobody has …

It's clearly not a random sample of the population.

>Too Many American Men are Obsessed with Work and Wealth Alternatively, not enough women value work and wealth. The bias here is clear is day.

It sounds like you haven't actually understood that argument. "The guy in the room" has always been a minor detail. Furthermore, machine translation has existed since before convol…

>Philosophers interested in mind and cognition tend to take a great deal of interest in developments in CS and neuroscience. And they tend to mangle it by inserting rigorous scient…

>Signs and Signifiers Semiology is perhaps among the farthest removed from information theory, and computer science in general.

Logic is taught exactly in mathematics and computer science programs as a mandatory topic. Philosophy programs place far less emphasis, often providing it only as an elective.

Ah, a well-informed opinion then. None of your comments so far have contributed anything to this discussion. Please try to keep to the spirit of HN when commenting.

I didn't mean to up vote, sorry; less than 25% of women are CEOs, and there's no indication of overlap between these two groups.

What is the target user base?

Hence "everyday applications."

The implication of the headline is that the reader should think, "Congratulations on make it to space despite being Muslim." In other words, shit headline. And the headline's focus…

Your suggestion is nonsensical to me. The two books have significantly, if not entirely, different airs, purposes, domains, styles, and audiences.

As a person that has interviewed for and gotten jobs at multiple Fortune 500s (whose tech departments varied from abysmal to impressive effective) and as a person that has been a p…

Of course, there are entire subfields of psychology that directly and routinely engage with neuroscience. But behavioral psychology generally does not; in any case, the narrative g…

There is no factual disagreement of the observed effect, you are correct. The particular (potentially subtle) line I was trying to draw is that there is not necessarily a one-to-on…

I'm afraid you'll have to explain your perspective to me as if I'm five years old. In your original comment, you say, >a constant times the $-e_r/r^2$, and the time derivative of t…

One thing I find very interesting is the following: >SQLite has its own private implementation of printf() (with some extensions) in printf.c Why?

The time derivative of that expression is indeed zero.
