    The most important thing is to figure out what you want to achieve. Banal, easier said than done, but always important to keep in mind. Your goals and understanding of them are lik…

    I see the issue in fixing the errors automatically in that "fixing the error" is another aspect of "changing the behavior of the program" (even on the syntactic level: how would yo…

    I think that generally people are interested in being as intelligent as possible. The institutes of school and university, the study of pedagogy and science in general are all dedi…

    You are not wrong, but too abstract. Saying that brain is statistical and therefore can be represented with statistical model such as artificial neural net is like saying that brai…

    The biological neural structures that encode behavior are “trained” through evolution, but even the most advanced animals rely mostly on conditioned (= learned during lifetime) ref…

    They are "capable", but only by chance. If you generate millions of random sentences in a human language then some of them would express some "useful new solutions". LLMs would hav…

    Is there a conceptual difference between the categorical database and hypergraph database?

    Thanks, modern rule engines and description logic formalisations are something for me to explore! Are there any other practical applications of such advanced SAT solvers?

    Their previous model was better than 46% of such competitors (according to them), so 85% seems achievable by throwing more compute resources at typical ML training. After all, trai…

    Ask HN: What is the current state of "logical" AI?

    The kind of AI that gets the public attention right now lacks a quality that can be described as "formal correctness", "actual reasoning", "rigorous thinking", "mathematical abilit…
