Lol. We do not live in a meritocracy, you do not become a CEO with mere talent. (I realize you were being sarcastic, but misinterpreting you enabled me to make my point elegantly)

I agree, the way that the system reasons should be configurable by the system itself. Of course you have to give it some fundamental operation(ultimately we operate within the mapp…

While I think the hypergraph is a great data structure, and I agree graph rewrite rules, written as graphs have a lovely symmetry, this approach feels too low level to me. Sure you…

I wonder if someday in the future, when AI is common place, people will implement these early attempts at GAI on better hardware. Kind of like what we have done with the babbage di…

Why is it important to have both n-type and p-type transistors in the same circuit, why not just use p type carbon nanotube transistors?

Yeah, I lost all interest in the story after seeing this.

The "Pentagon Wars" scene reminds me strongly of software development in many companies I have worked for.

I'm reasonably well versed in these topics, I found them unsatisfying, they don't capture the essence for me. I don't really know what I'm looking for I just know I haven't seen it…

I agree. I am not convinced that such a system is better. But I don't think the opinion expressed is infantile. Angry yes, difficult to convincingly argue, sure. But wrong? Who kno…

I often wonder if there is some notion of a basis of computation in mathematics. You can do stuff in binary, trinary, what about further out systems? What about working with functi…

Using this evidence of uniformity in order to accomplish a goal, is an act of faith. At the moment you initiate the motion to strike the cue ball in your cosmic game of billiards, …

Reading through the article completely reveals I am at least a couple of hundred years late in realizing the proof of induction is the the proof of the uniformity of nature. Perhap…

This is my point everything is a belief. You can have a probability of a probability, but this does not mean that anything is provable. Proof is akin to probability in the limit. A…

For what it's worth, for all the people I never told that I thought this to be true. I told you so :)

Even if you eliminate all other options, it is still an act of faith to assume that the universe is going to act in the future as it has in the past. Why is there regularity in nat…

The goal of mindfulness, in the traditions I have read. Is ultimately to understand that the act of watching is no different from the thoughts being watched. It is by doing the wat…

I am aware of the interesting duality between compression and learning. I have spent quite some time thinking about it. However I am still not convinced that this upper bound is go…

Reminds me of this: "Don't worry about people stealing an idea. If it's original, you will have to ram it down their throats."

I'm not sure that is true. Take for instance the first 100 prime numbers printed one after another in a string. The string is long and apparently random, yet contains little algori…

Hmm, yes this may be true, even in the average. I would still caution against using any old encoding technique on a string representation of the genome and using the compressed len…

Why would you want to be compressing the string? For this to be useful you would need to be searching for the algorithmic complexity of the string, not merely how compressible it h…

I love this. It makes perfect sense to me that intelligence need not be rooted in one physical object, the brain. Rather it is a property of certain kinds of system, regardless of …

I do too. A little idea I have had is to record the paths of developers through this graph of code units and use this information to cluster similar groups of code. This clustering…

I had the opposite problem. I took my degree because I was hoping to become a CS academic or at least be involved in theoretical work. I ended up with a vocational course. I was/am…
