@fowlie Have you taken a look at Maltron[1] yet? 1. https://www.maltron.com

I enjoyed this post. I hope something good came out of the struggle for you.

I think it depends a bit on the real intention. If the author intends to grow their project to a business and is upfront about it, there is nothing wrong with that. After all a sus…

One simple solution to the asymmetry is to abolish it. Instead of releasing open source project touted as a "general solution", why not adopt release it as "here is some reference …

This is a complex and topical issue. It can be viewed in multiple ways, as a philosophy/ideology, a sustainability/societal risk, a degree of freedom and as a socio-economic system…

I also did not get this from the OP article. I would say he could have articulated things better. It is imperative to note that what constitutes minimum and viable had generally ch…

I have an intuition that there are multiple classes of ideas: ideas that are linear interpolation of the present into the future: Those are intuitive, either for domain experts or …

Reporting for duty...

This depends a bit on what you aim to get out of reading them? I liked both of the books you mentioned for different reasons personally. Do you have a set of goals you wish for as …

@jakobnissen you have a typo in the first section: "Among Julians, latiency is" - Sorry, I would have nudged elsewhere but could not find an alternative venue to contact you. Excel…

Very similar. ZX-48 at 11 years of age. First some graphics programs, then a chess program. The first program I "invented" was a guessing game. I graduated to pascal a couple of ye…

I bought some 10+ years ago, and they are in storage, and I am also feeling that urge to go dust them off and power them up. If memory serves, I think I ran netbsd on them.

Thank you for writing this. you brought back some good young adulthood memories of VMS, OSF/1 and Tru64. All seemed like alien technologies at the time :). Thank you for your servi…

I would not worry so much about that.Not for a while. The actually concerning aspects about AI safety in my opinion are more about misuse/abuse as well as critical processes/decisi…

I share your view on category theory and perhaps lattice theory as well. What I was trying to say is that before you can draw that analogy, regardless of what "shape" means to you …

I personally designed and participated in the implementation of a hybrid cognitive architecture which combined both NNs and GOFAI. We ( http://www.heurolabs.com ) are contemplating…

I am reading the same book. I think analogy is interesting but it doesn’t make sense that it would be the foundation. analogy is a heuristic to reason and communicate. It necessari…

Are you familiar with quad keys and quad tiles? If not definitely read up. Could simplify a lot of routing and tracking: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/QuadTiles

I don’t know know your stack so take this with a grain of salt: It may be very tempting at times to skip normalizing data and to just throw stuff in a document store. The downside …

The domain is also ripe with algorithmically interesting problems. One issue I have seen though is the mindset of the business user may not be very tolerant of probabilistic result…
