Thank you. I will definitely try the key only. That should reduce probing. Presence will still be there, but if it completely deters probing that will be good enough. I looked at f…

Author here. Just wanted to get some feedback on this. It's a simple proof of concept, not meant for production code. I found several similar techniques, but none exactly the same.…

I agree that some form of evolutionary algorithm will be our path to intelligent software (or a component of it). However, as genetic algorithms are currently implemented I would s…

Good question. In 2013 they hit 0.5 pflops (0.5*10^15) by putting together 26,496 cores in one of their data centers. So I expect they have scaled proportionally and would be aroun…

Off by a few orders of magnitude. Tihane-2 hit 33 pflops or 3.3*10^16 flops or approx 1/3 of the upper bound. Brain simulation is a snag, but it isn't our only snag. Like you said,…

I believe it considering 2006-2008 was when all the deep learning pieces came together (some parts were decades old, some 5 years, some 2 years). Google's main push in ML is with d…

Do you have a citation or blog post for this application of Eureqa that gave a good result but wasn't publishable from a biological study perspective? I have a background in BME an…

Very interesting question and worth an experiment or two. Personally, I don't think it would help because the patterns are complex and it is an internal representation. It would be…

AWS Snowball is a play on AWS Glacier. Glacier is the slow moving practically frozen storage system. Snowball takes the same stuff and hurls it rapidly to a destination. Pretty sli…
