Yes but also no. One of the most fascinating applications I've seen is here: http://versor.mat.ucsb.edu (and in subsequent work). There's already a decent tl;dr of the approach on …

Is anyone looking into/using algebraic topology and sheaves to analyze or interpret these deep networks?

Thanks for posting this. It's unlikely to get much discussion due to the lack of detail and the poor English (and it is hard to know the context here)...but it's interesting to see…

> I should be more concise.

Fiasco is also first contact gone wrong and is quite something...like almost an anti-star-trek episode. It may be an easier entrypoint than Solaris, at cost of arguably not being a…

It's a wonderful luxury to craft such a sufficiently vast work of nonsense that no one possessed of sufficient reason to craft an informed critique will ever feel it worthwhile to …

You have "interesting" and, to be polite, "idiosyncratic" ideas and framing to the point that the expected cost/benefit (for me) of having a real discussion doesn't seem favorable.…

Very late to see this but am curious how these approaches handle words with numerous meanings (like run, which arguably has dozens if not hundreds of idiomatic meanings in English)…

You'd think there'd be an appeal to being able to just say "Computer: syringe of young blood, body temperature." Perhaps it only works if you have to pay someone for it first.

Nah, Trump and his crew are useful idiots when it comes to Russia; they think they are #1 teaming up with #3 to keep China stuck at #2, when the reality is they are getting tricked…

Actually easy to find, for example here: https://members.loria.fr/RSchott/staceyredujanv08.pdf .

Seconding the question because I want to see the encodings. Intuitively this makes sense: in the GA formalism a "single" term requires 2^n fields (where n is the spatial dimension)…

Done and noted moving forward. I don't envy you your job. I also don't like your odds here: the current site mechanics and moderation pace don't seem adequate to preserve the good …

First I will explain the joke in my previous comment, since it seems to have gone over your head. Read what you wrote literally, as if someone else wrote it: > I do not put myself …

Given this: > I do not put myself out there as a disinterested arbiter of fact. ...all I can say to this: > Facebook isn't going to be appending my critical analysis to alleged fak…

Yeah maybe, even the pope said fake news isn't real.

> Your belief is that Politifact and Snopes push their opinionated worldview as though it is objectively true and morally righteous. Wouldn't want to be guilty of the same sin, rig…

Can you supply any concrete examples of fact checkers that have undergone such rigorous evaluation?

> But suggesting that farmers need city dwellers for humans to continue to exist is like thinking that compiler writers need the people that use compilers. Compiler programmers cou…

Farming could go on without fertilizer, heavy machinery, gasoline for said machinery, for sure...and yields would go down, indeed very much by "a bit". Definitely "a bit" for some …

133 billion is a recent usda figure. Do you have any source for "trillions"? For bystanders the figures I am referencing are here: https://www.ers.usda.gov/data-products/ag-and-foo…

The point I tried--and failed!--to make is that in general the recipients of these subsidies have very simplistic and one-sided views of them (if they even see them as subsidies). …

It is subsidization, on too many fronts to name. If anything it has been too effective because it is quite invisible and taken for granted by the recipients, which then allows them…

Respectfully, "those guys know how to do one thing well" is (IMHO) much more accurate phrasing than "those guys know what they're doing". Note that these are compatible statements.…
