here's a link with reviewer comments https://openreview.net/forum?id=PdauS7wZBfC (praise to openreview!)

You probably need to factor healthcare, rent etc for a fair comparison to, say, the Bay area -- 85k affords a nice upper-upper middle class lifestyle (it scratches the 99th gross i…

That sounds like a degenerate organisation. But if we're sharing anecdata: My pay in this Berlin startup is very decent, I have respectable equity and it's a friendly & rational en…

That's too naive. There's next to nothing known about how activity in individual neurons and their synapses relates to mental contents, in particular "higher level" concepts and th…

do you have more info on that quote? I'd like to read more about that time, but google failed me

it doesn't seem to register key presses on chrome 56 (mac os)

If we want to assign credit for the LSTM to one person, his student Hochreiter is perhaps the better pick

They use evolutionary search to discover spiking neural networks whose response dynamics can solve a control task. This is a fascinating approach, but one that I've only ever seen …

Can you explain that a bit more? I'm fascinated but don't quite get the rationale behind having not even the authors of the paper know the results. What is their process?

Thanks! When I tried this before, I thought compilation was stuck in an infinite loop and gave up after about a minute. But you're right, it works. Though on my machine, this took …

I think this loop actually still only builds the graph -- what `scan` would do. The computation still happens outside of python. That is, in tensorflow they perhaps don't need `sca…

Are there any major conceptual differences to Theano? Not that I wouldn't appreciate a more polished, well funded competitor in the same space. It looks like using TensorFlow from …

one more helpful criticism: the 'epic' music in your video, for me at least, evokes the opposite of a zen-like, concentrated state. it brings up images of action movies, war scenes…

Put more favourably, the purpose of an open access journal is to arrange a critical evaluation of my stuff and to point other researchers to it (curation). To justify paying for th…

Quantum Bayesianism [0] treats such effects explicitely as Bayesian belief updates of the experimenter. This leads to an interpretation of quantum mechanics free of such paradoxica…
