I teach part time at the university level (I am not going to say where). I would love to give you my perspective on this as I see a lot of non-neurotypical students. Some of these …

gonna be worth more down the line, and cooler, as an actual Indy

however, given that your 1923 dollars were likely silver dollars which currently trade for $32 (for junk grade) and up ... I made that 8m * 32 = 256m :) - and better if you were se…

If I as a small company actually decided to sue a large company, I think that the response would be "hang on, here are 20 of our patents you are infringing on - you actually owe us…

https://arxiv.org/abs/1806.09823 - you can use this to find nearest neighbors to reduce the number of elements you are considering (or maybe not). Then you need: https://en.wikiped…

Usually the software using the interface (pro tools / ableton) has settings to tweak audio latency via buffer size for audio. I have not had issue with this or midi, and I record a…

It seems based on the two times I saw it that it is mostly delusion. The idea appears to be that you can learn to do something complex on the job with a slight amount of experience…

Well, that and the fact that their rendering engine isn't really competitive with Epic, who do get it ....

Either nature or nurture, french drivers and amazingly polite and pleasant to share the road with, certainly in comparison to the bay area, in my experience (Provence).

Be nice. And helpful. Generally when someone asks you for help on something, or when you are assigned to a project, that means they need help! Take the time to understand how it wo…

Totally happens even with insects. The biotech industry started using BT genes (a fungus which takes care of corn ear worm) in GMO corn. Previously, BT was an organically approved …

Hierarchical Temporal Memory

turing, not turning :)

but of course, that could occur on any number of such substrates.

well at first blush, looks like he re-invented graph rewriting. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graph_rewriting - on cursory examination, he did not seem to mention that what he was …

Very sound advise. I know a number of people who regularly took psychedelics/smoked a ton of weed in the 90's and who could now be regarded as casualties. Maybe some form of psycho…

Vananda Shiva IS an ecofeminist. I think it highly relevant. Clearly all people are capable of being activists. But in this case, she happens to make an explicit point of her movem…
