And that's actually a really honest answer. Whereas someone of the opposite opinion might be like parroting in the general copying-template sense actually generalizes to all observ…

I don't like wading into this debate when semantics are very personal/subjective. But to me, it seems like almost a sleight of hand to add the stochastic part, when actually they'r…

In my mind, the pure reinforcement learning approach of DeepSeek is the most practical way to do this. Essentially it needs to continually refine and find more sound(?) subspaces o…

> Neural networks are notoriously bad at graphs. AlphaFold is based on graph neural networks. The biggest issue is that we still do not know how to best encode graph problems in wa…

In my view there's two modes of creativity: 1. That two distant topics or ideas are actually much more closely related. The creative sees one example of an idea and applies it to a…

Anyone else think that there is already primitive image data encoded in biological data? Essentially basic shapes and patterns which are passed down semi-generationally.

Do you have somewhere to send you some details? Otherwise, you can probably find a mail on my Github with the same name.

Category theory isn't the only way to solve this. Arguably a purely continuous dynamical system like differential equations with certain boundary conditions would similarly work. D…

That's fair, I was more speaking about XML and its use as a form of binary transport. Things like WS-Management and explicit SOAP obviously came a little bit later, and SOAP-like t…

CIM/WBEM goes all the way back to 1996. They essentially wanted a management infrastructure on all kinds of devices (including different architectures, so actually C made sense the…

Implementing it with a hylomorphism is actually quite clean, however, understanding the plumbing to get there is not. The principles are generally quite simple, however, there's no…

Have you seen any signs of which compression algorithm might be the one affected? Presumably it's one of their more snowflake ones. If it is in a library, surely SMB isn't the only…

It's not actually clear that they prioritize their own products all that much. Certainly in regards to Project Zero, it seems the point is that they are detached from the rest of t…

Depends on what you mean by Linux. The ABI Microsoft were attempting to emulate was absolutely Linux. (This API business is exactly the issue with Oracle vs Google over Java).

No, a lot of cross-platform applications are going to be using this infrastructure IIRC still. In this case, they only need a subset of the Linux APIs and they can optimize it to p…

Because they aren't starting from nothing? They're starting from humans -- the more we can usefully encode about our knowledge of ourselves, the more time we can skip in evolutiona…

As a counterpoint, I would like to say that a lot of research still is 'routine intellectual work'. Movers and shakers are rare and far apart. The vast majority of academia are col…

> Otherwise, you're implyjng that the developer of that technology would either release the technology as completely driverless or not release it at all. In some ways that statemen…

As someone with a great interest in comic paneling, I can agree, but there's so few that seem to do so. Not only that, but the vertical format (particularly as it pertains to optim…

> For anything that takes more than half a second or so, it's usually a big win and can turn minutes into seconds. As a counter to this, I purposefully try to use CPython in order …

Those services used to also carry RSS, but they silently removed them not long after Google Reader shut down. That might be unrelated, but still.

I wouldn't say minor, but a reasonably attentive driver would have probably slammed the brakes, even if it was too late.

To add, close mentorship with a core member of the team is one of the ways to get around this hurdle. Anything less formal than that, in many cases, it's fairly impossible (unless …

It's no surprise people reject concepts they don't adequately understand. I don't know who exactly you could blame here. But if they all understood what it meant, I don't believe n…

I somewhat disagree. The opposite can also occur. Because everyone is gambling on the house market, the amount of productive places for investing diminishes as they are left to be …
