This is a good paper exploring how computation with spiking neural networks is likely to work. https://www.izhikevich.org/publications/spnet.htm

I agree with this article. Coding is the easiest and best part of the job. Way more time is spent testing than coding. Why take away the fun part, making your job only about the ve…

One of the best ways to slow down an opponents OODA loop in soccer is to choose inconsistent actions from play to play. As a forward receiving the ball from defense: dribble (with …

I agree with you, but he didn't say the word "sorry". Check out "Thank You for Arguing" by Jay Heinrichs. It covers the same basic steps, but recommends to exclude the actual apolo…

I get your frustration with architecture of architecture. However this kind of AOA has been going on for a long time in a similar domain of control theory. Model Predictive Control…

There's a lot of good information on modeling spiking neurons here: http://www.scholarpedia.org/article/Category:Spiking_Network... Also, I like the papers linked here by Eugene Iz…

This article reminds me of this polychronization paper that describes how networks of spiking neurons result in the emergence of groups, and some discussion on how that could expla…

Plus you're pretty much screwed on RAII since you cannot return a value from the initializer. So by not using exceptions in C++, you also will often end up requiring a separate ini…

It looks very cool, but they definitely moved & rotated slowly in the video. Hopefully they can keep the motion tracking processing latency low enough to not cause nausea.

I built my desktop from scratch (for the first time) in 2005, added a couple components from other computers as they died, and still use it with no issues. I've thought about upgra…

I actually noticed a couple of months ago that it now takes 5-6 minutes to cook instead of ~4 to get the same consistency. That threw me off since I am the primary mac&cheese maker…

Thanks for the link to the acknowledgements.

There's actually a decent probability of memory corruption in space applications due to radiation. So in addition to checking communication across busses, application checksums are…

I've been using Org Mode with emacs for writing literate programs. You could write a simple front to Org Mode to decrease the clutter...but the hierarchical nature of the Org Mode …

This has been done before with a full human brain scale model in 2005. It took 50 days on 27 processor for that simulation. It's always good to have more research being produced, b…

Given musashi's unparalleled swordsmanship, fluffy seems like a poor description. His life was a very direct reflection of his philosophy.

This adds a whole new meaning to "software bug".

This would be awesome...although I wonder how far out the fiber would go since I actually live in Limestone County.
