I highly recommend Harmonious.ai written by the folks at AI2 Incubator who are brilliant and reputable.

This is tangential but does anyone have a "better explanation" for topology?

I did my Ph.D. work on the cerebellum and proposed a theoretical model of reinforcement learning and can add some context for why this is a "big deal". First, it represents a funda…

Anyone around Pasadena, CA interested in a meetup? Santa Monica is...far.

This is a great example of a niche banking solution which is far better than any traditional bank can provide. I think we'll see a lot more of this as banking APIs become more avai…

Any idea what they are? We've seen an uptick in users reporting transactional emails going to spam.

Connecting this to the OP is that it looks like the stimulation is initially activating these CPGs -- all of the movement is happening based on control from the spinal cord alone. …

What I find most interesting is the multiple training methods used to get the network to improve its performance. They name a few in the article: - dual learning - deliberation net…

Can you elaborate on this?

"The result of the computation is also stored in the memory devices, and in this sense the concept is loosely inspired by how the brain computes." For anyone who is interested in a…

The biggest advance that I've seen towards AGI is the work using reinforcement learning, e.g. neural nets that learn to play video games through trial and error. There is an impres…

Now that I'm in a position of hiring technical people, this seems crazier than ever to me. It's hard to hire talented software engineers because they're so in demand. I would be gl…

I agree with this. If we're talking about the same thing, many of these are "Machine learning for hackers" type articles and only give a superficial exposure of machine learning wi…

I'm not trying to be offensive, but what point are you trying to make? It sounds like you disagree with the author but your commentary seems like incoherent rambling to me. I think…

The problem with plain old stock is the tax implications. Suppose you join my company when our last round valuation was $10M. Let's also say you negotiated 1% equity. If we granted…

Startups also like options because they believe it creates an "ownership mentality" among its employees. I believe this is mostly true. I think equity compensation is also a select…

Robert Naviaux is the real deal and his theory on the Cell Danger Response is fascinating [1]. In addition to ASD, he recently made a significant discovery in the characterization …
