    So many tools and libraries combine authorization and authentication, and it’s hard to find an authorization server that lets you outsource identity. (All too often the underspecif…

    HTMs were a great theory but I never saw them function at more than 1 layer of hierarchy. So the “H” part was lacking. Anyway since we know that any part of neocortex can be reache…

    There are ample known facts and published theories about neuroscience that have never brought together into a coherent framework. Everyone has their pet theories and focuses just o…

    A few years ago Peterpaul developed a lightweight object-oriented system on top of C that was really pleasant to use[0]. No need to pass in the object explicitly, etc. Doesn't have…

    In most B2B cases you really don’t want to self host authentication. Really. There are plenty of identity providers out there who will worry about hashing passwords, resetting them…

    Think about it. A “meaning” in this usage is definitely not a longer name.

    IMHO (from the viewpoint of a neuroscientist) the biological inspiration is quite measured and restrained in his work… The problem he was proposing we solve is computing with heter…

    Actors solves a very different problem. Alan Kay was talking about enabling computing across heterogeneous systems.

    At Alan Kay’s Viewpoints Research Institute, the problem was phrased in a more concrete form and a solution was provided — “Call by Meaning”[0]. The most succinct way I have found …

    There exists the Universal (Function) Approximation Theorem for neural networks — which states that they can represent/encode any function to a desired level of accuracy[0]. Howeve…

    If you think about it, for embodied agents symbol grounding isn’t really the “problem”. Rather, embodied agents start with reference and indices. The hard problem is actually ungro…

    In an anthropological framework, social capital can be built up and exchanged for other forms of capital (including economic capital). There are even brokers who have the role of f…

    In my experience, businesses are especially concerned with authorization — enabling product sales to customers. They would rather not deal with identity and authentication — userna…

    In case you are looking for a way to build GNUstep for Raspberry Pi (and use GWorkspace, etc), we have build scripts here: https://github.com/plaurent/gnustep-build

    A few of us maintain scripts for building the latest GNUstep from source under Linux (desktop, PinePhone, and Raspberry Pi) here: https://github.com/plaurent/gnustep-build

    Yes. I was surprised that the OA gets as close as mentioning “golden apple” but misses that the Latin “aurantium” (from pomum aurantium) would sound awfully close to “orange”.

    Why should the fee be proportional to the price? If it’s about supporting infrastructure, take a percentage based on load on the infrastructure.

    Hi p1esk, RNNs can be more tolerant to noise because they can learn transient or dynamic attractors. If the inputs move an RNN into an attractor, small changes due to noise make li…

    Feedforward CNNs cannot tolerate as much noise and real-world variability as RNNs.
