Thank you very much. I support others and any research in this direction as well. Many aspects of my architecture are deeply biologically inspired. I find it to be of no surprise. I may grin from ear to ear from time to time when I see the function of a biological construct but I'm definitely not surprised :)

If you're capable and that's what you see, why not integrate it into a conceptual model and then a computational model and then write the code for it? When I say its possible I mean to say that, once you have the right model, you can write any code you want to make it a reality. The capability and hardware are already here today and more is on the horizon. One of the stacks I have lying about are spec sheets and white papers regarding Nvidia's GPU microarchitectures, HSA architectures, latency white papers, etc. I was literally waiting on their new microarchitecture to experiment with some new concepts. Future chips on the horizon make me :) deeply. So, unlike the past, the compute power is there and more is coming quite soon.

I scanned through 194-209. Excellent analysis and construction of a framework. I have hundreds of pages of this kind of analysis that I performed in the initial stages of my inquiry. This is excellent work. The thing is, you need to begin constructing models and theories from it. Start prototyping code and see how it fits together with other subsystems and aspects of your architecture and theory. You really just have to get in there and start stringing together code and start dissecting and trashing things that don't fit and locking in things that do fit.

My perspective is that the paper highlights a fundamental first step of how you approach AGI : By reasoning through your thought process, cognitive functions, and interaction in the world.

I would love to take you up on that offer and will when I return to the bay area. I always enjoy a good conversation on these matters. I'll take tea :)

For now, I'm in a bit of an undisclosed location doing dev. I Decided it would be best to get away from the high noise level in the valley while I focus on my R&D effort.
Take a look at Phabricator. It's a former Facebook project and been battle-tested at very large companies for years now. Huge open source projects like Blender, Haskell, Wikimedia and LLVM use it since it's the best open source code review tool and issue tracker. Wikimedia had a lengthy decision process and thoroughly vetted the alternatives.

It has many enterprise features including code ownership, issue templates, and a Gerrit like, sane code review workflow. You can fully integrate it with your CI tool and it even displays coverage results inline and such.

Ask me anything about it :) I'm not affiliated with it but am an experienced user.
Worked for Musk! All you need is hype.
I do agree with you on what you're saying about the original premise. That norm of ignoring genuine violence kids are facing needs to be changed.
This isn't a random shift in direction for github... in the end it will make the platform so complex and irrelevant for open source teams that they will go elsewhere. I wrote an analysis of this shift some time back: http://hintjens.com/blog:111
>The fundamental causes of inequality are not being addressed.

Well of course not! That would require breaking up monopolies and oligopolies, restarting the intellectual property treadmill that moves ideas into the public domain, and fighting rentiering in land, natural resources, and means of production by spreading ownership through the working population.

A society built on rents cannot reduce inequality without re-building their society on actual, useful production.
Scheme is a standard. The most common standards for Scheme are R5RS, the controversial R6RS, and R7RS, which hews closer to R5RS. While there are reference implementations, there isn't really a vanilla implementation, as even the references add their own tweaks. Here's why:

Until R6RS, having a "vanilla" scheme wasn't practical: the scheme standard is minimalist, and excludes things like binary IO, modules, networking, OO, etc, although it does provide the tools to make your own module/OO system if you want. Writing portable scheme is almost impossible, and frowned upon.

R6RS tried to extend the language and stdlib, so that writing portable scheme was possible. It was criticized for being overly complex, and for forgoing common SRFIs (informal standards that can be implemented across schemes), instead coming up with its own solutions to the same problems. Its acceptance was mixed. Guile implements some of it, but there are few full implmentations of the standard. The lack of acceptance for R6RS is sometimes seen as one of the catalysts to PLT Scheme casting off the anchors of the Scheme standard, and renaming itself Racket, which was already starting to happen, as PLT steadily deviated from the standard.

R7RS was an attempt at a compromise: it provided the "small" language, already published, which is more based upon R5RS, and adds a module system and a few other extensions. The "large" language, still in development, will provide a large stdlib for doing Real Work. It will, however, notably lack a few things, such as an FFI, so while portable scheme will be possible, not all code will be portable (nor, I think, will all code ever be). Thus far, it seems to be going fairly well, with CHICKEN and Guile, some of the most popular scheme implementations, planning to support it.

Probably the closest thing to a vanilla scheme is Chibi Scheme, the reference implementation of R7RS. It's small, lightweight, and designed for static linking and embedding, like Lua. It has its extensions, of course, but they're fairly minimal.

My father did quite well for himself early in my life. He started out selling car alarms and then found himself in a different sales business but it really took off. When I was 9 we moved from the modest and kinda rundown yet nonetheless charming ranch house in a subdivision to a massive mansion on the cliffs overlooking the ocean thirty minutes away from all my former friends and family (in an area where a car was necessary). We had a private beach. I had my own duplex room in a turret with a wraparound view. And yet we moved out of there three years later because we were all unhappy and missed our old friends and just a simpler life.

I talked to my dad about this a few years later, asking if he had any regrets or reservations about giving up on his dream of a beachside mansion (Something he had talked about for as long I can remember). I'll never forget what he said to me then and I oft remind myself of it. He said to me,

"Sometimes our dreams are the wrong dreams."
Many of the most successful founders are introverts. Mark Zuckerberg, Larry Page, Bill Gates, none of them are very extroverted, but they've started some of the most valuable companies in the world.

Of course if you are so introverted that you are unable to make eye contact or talk to people it will be a problem, but most of us are not that extreme.
Yup. That's something we can handle internally, under the hood to batch database requests into a single query for all edges. This problem is actually easier to solve in GraphQL then it is with a traditional REST API.
The ending of the video is interesting -- while first Crow helped another, the second one that got the food out of the hole didn't share it. The first did not do anything other than help the second one once again... and again didn't get the food.

If you just want to get shit done, Clojure is fine (though any other Lisp would arguably be better than Clojure).

If you want to get shit done, and make sure the types are correct, and make sure all side effects are properly managed and accounted for, that's Haskell's niche.
A major amazon echo marketing component is seven directional microphones. It should be easy to stick an echo on the wall such that left is the washer and right is the dryer or whatever.

Also despite sounding similar to tone deaf humans one probably runs at 4001.342 Hz and the other at 3999.114 Hz which likely sounds the same to me, but to a computer is likely very obvious.

Aeson/Haskell doesn't require decoding json into user-defined data types. It supports the scenario of turning the data into a plain Map (clojure style) as well. The plain Map style is simply a less preferred paradigm in haskell, but its very easy to support this. Getting a map out from your json is a one liner.
My parents really wanted me to find an obsession as a teen. By the time I was in high school, my parents were fretting that I didn't have an obsession except for doing well all-around in school, so, they proceeded to tell me what they believed I couldn't do successfully. This ruled out everything except for computers. Ironically, my dad didn't understand how anybody could be passionate about computers, and considered it an to be easy field for mediocre people without an obsession.

I still don't really have an obsession. Committing to a field feels so restrictive compared to reading about a variety of things. As a result, I haven't done very well professionally, but my dad, who was obsessed, didn't do well, either.

I see them use odd numbers around here for the Buy X for X price. Especially with canned goods. Buy 6 for 4.50. Normal price might only be 80 cents so the savings isn't as good as it sounds. My guess is they're banking on people not knowing simple math or being afraid of large numbers. Example, coke likes to go on sale 3 for 11. The other trick I've seen a lot recently is stores showing the price per ounce instead of per unit. Before it would say the price of a 12 pack is 3.66 with the deal but now it's like .13/oz.
I had a similar thought, but it was more just normal internet guardedness: I don't know who these people are that are asking for my PII.
I'd really like it if the Pull Requests page would denote which PRs I've already approved. That is one thing I really liked from Bitbucket, it makes it easy to skip over what I've already approved. It would become slightly more complex though, because then you'd probably want to see something for PRs you've approved but had subsequent changes on.
Putting blogs and "news" on nature.com is continually degrading the quality of the "Nature" brand. It's poor form to mix this editorial and un-reviewed journalistic content under the same banner as peer-reviewed scientific articles of the Nature journal.
Phabricator has the right approach here.

Issues and projects are global and not bound to a single repository. In my experience, this is the only approach that works in a company. JIRA does the same thing.

It's the closest to a fully open source Atlassian suite that you get. Phabricator has code review, repository hosting, project management and even a CI tool.

Yes but you're being a bit naïve here. Things never really go like this.

The question is not "most free from government", but "most free". It's like answering the question about which restaurant is most sanitary by suggesting to eat nothing at all - of course, you'll starve to death but at least no chance for food poisoning!

Well, yeah, by signing you are putting absolutely nothing on the line so that's true :)

Why do you think they are not extroverted? Bill Gates was a famously in-your-face person when dealing with employees, partners, and competitors.
Perhaps the first one didn't want the food... if it did, it wouldn't have helped the other crow but would instead just have done it on its own and taken the food. After all, if it's able to use the stick to probe on its own, wouldn't it stand to reason that it didn't even need to have helped the other crow except out of benevolence?

It's a comforting fantasy that we can round up the bad guys, put them in a box and rough them up in clever ways until they reveal their evil plans. In the real world, building more Guantanamo Bays isn't going to solve any of the problems facing us. The net benefit of torture centers is negative.

On the website, I clicked on the 'TAKE ACTION' button and for about half a second I actually considered writing a "letter to the president"... but then I came to my senses and realized that I don't actually know ANY of these people.

I approve of the idea of Snowden and the idea of Obama pardoning him but this is all very abstract in my mind... Feels like writing a letter to Santa Claus.
Analogy: swap out sugar for smoking. People smoke because they like it. And because they can't stop. One of the reasons they can't stop is that there are massive industries devoted to ensuring that they don't (witness, for instance, the rising levels of nicotine in cigarettes, presumably intended to make the product more addictive). I mean, what with the fact that the media completely silences that subject… and it's not even written on the packets with giant health warnings and pictures of blackened lungs. Corporations, amirite?

The above japery is to demonstrate that to a large extent, your sarcasm misses the point.

writing a 100 page thesis for a contemporary PhD is easy, if you're not an idiot. Do everything in TeX and digitally staple the papers you've written together, and whip up a 10-page introductory statement.

What is hard is the work that you have to go to to get to the 100 page thesis. Try working a 100 hour workweek, including sleeping the lab only to find out that the experiments that you've set up completely go to hell because of a minor detail that you missed at the beginning. Five or six times. (with 75 hour workweeks in between) Over the course of a year. Not taking any vacations. Five years over.

A shady market in scientific papers mars Iran’s rise in science
There are eight megacities of 10MM or more people in the first world. Some of them sprawl, others allow reasonable densities in newly built neighborhoods. Reasonable density, in this case, means 100 or more, about what you get from building 2-3 stories, allowing buildings with very small setbacks, not requiring excessive parking, and allowing retail and commercial uses to mix in neighborhoods. Most highly desirable San Francisco neighborhoods are built at such density but such building is illegal in America.

Here they are, in order of inaccessibility and unaffordability to the middle class.

1. New York (Sprawls)

2. London (Doesn't)

3. Los Angeles (Sprawls)

4. Paris (Doesn't)

5. Tokyo (Doesn't)

6. Mexico City (Doesn't)

7. Seoul (Doesn't)

8. Osaka (Doesn't)

San Francisco sprawls and matches the high end of the list. Not much evidence for the op's thesis.
In the long term, I think housing should appreciate like inflation, otherwise people are quickly priced out of owning a home. Granted, this is what we are somewhat seeing in Palo Alto, but this is probably a step function due to changing conditions in the area over that time, such as the creation of Silicon Valley. Also, just because the _median_ home price increases that much does not mean an individual home's price increased that much. Again this could be changing conditions in the area.
