I believe you meant Carver Mead
This makes me wonder: China was poised to beat the US in the AI race, why .. why is it that with all their resources and government backing did a llm of chatgpt's magnitude and capability not materialize in China first?
I used to think Gary Marcus is a voice of reason in the AI field. Now I think he's just a moron shouting hoopla over and over again. Insecurity piling from his work not being relevant any more?
The human in the loop reinforcement learning paper that powered chatgpt's training arose from deepmind's experiments with boardgames (and games). AGI is still an unsolved problem and deep RL that arose from the success of deepmind's experiments wth boardgames and games so far, will likely play a huge part in it
err, I maybe hugely mistaken but is this an example of a real life of the following joke:
"a scientist had this experiment going wherein everytime he rung a bell the grasshopper would jump. He clips one of the grasshopper's legs and rings the bell to see if the grasshopper would still jump and it did. He repeated the clipping process till the grasshopper had no legs. He wondered if it would still jump ... and it did not. He muttered to himself that hence that proves grasshoppers use their legs to hear"
am wondering it this is an example of a teleological thinking?
I guess that goes to show no ideology scales well either over time or space/resource
> masochist love: give no matter what, even if you are abused -unconditional love: give freely, trust in the relationship
the way you describe both lends well to the idea both are definitely not distinct things. I'm not sure how you've seem to convince yourself otherwise
ad-hoc abstraction is the secret sauce that destroys code bases in the long run and makes things horrendously complex. Composition based on mathematics is more likely to survive years of serving as atomic elements than anything based on ad-hoc human intuition
Composition is hard
OP there is a lot of potentially dangerous ideas on here. I do not know what your situation is or your mindset, but for the love of all things good and to reiterate what you already probably know. Exercise caution when lapping in these recommendations and stick to basic stuff as much as possible i.e exercise and sleep and mental exercises.

People wise, as I grow older, I seem to like keeping people at a distance i.e meet them in person and go out for food at most once a year and no contact beyond that. Beyond that distance, people tire me, bore me. I seem to have no interest in getting to know them better other than while conversing during that one meetup/year. I actively dislike people who try to keep in touch all the time and...
stated chronology doesn't imply inspiration
> Elm's state management paradigm was inspired by re-frame
Nope, it's the other way around
I think you'll need to be very specific about what you mean by good food. Nutrition is a shaky science. I think there's something to be said about motivation. While discipline definitely trumps motivation, I reason when you focus too much on discipline it becomes one those "problem-solving for the sake of problem-solving becomes boring pretty fast" sorta ordeals. Whatever your source of motivation is, question it.

only caveat is the troll's toll
repls a key item in your ideal list of requirements when it comes to building a system?
> People who can't unplug from the 24/7 news feed and instead adopt the world's stresses on to themselves, manifesting as a never-ending cycle of stress and doom
The adopting the world's stresses seems to be something I've observed with the newer generations. No actual problem solving but merely adopting the stress which I wonder is a symptom of being overly empathetic but I can't understand why the adoption doesn't progress into actual problem solving? Is it because the average joe regardless of the generation is a bad problem solver and more unrefined free stress is bound to paralyze said joe. Or is it something else?
Common Lisp isn't exactly functional. At this point python is as functional as Common lisp but you wouldn't call Python functional
I am of the same opinion but I've seen some adopted kids (brought to the first world) who are more than ready to throw away the adopted family and all the goodwill thrown their way just to get a chance of getting with their biological parents (third world, not well off) regardless of how the latter might not want to have any connection.
Sometimes it seems our base instinct make for the undoing of the quote "the covenant of brotherhood is thicker than the water of the womb" sadly
how is this 1d when there is a second dimension albeit small?

I feel I'm unable to be someone who can be happy with making money with a tangentially related 9-to-5 and pursuing my passion on the side. As with most things there has to be a way to both be passionate and undergo gruelling work in the same line without burning out. Hence my question
> Sensory augmentation tools will be developed for software development. It will be possible to listen to sounds that communicate useful information about the structure and behavior of code
One wonders if this is outlandish to high noon or just lack of imagination on one's part. Has anyone heard of such a thing before?
tldr: use tensors over matrices
Isn't this like the plot of an episode of the show Elementary?

I've been in the engineering industry for more than 10 years. I am baffled by how many people there are who don't understand the importance of iterative development but would rather some version of getting the perfect plan out. I have to ask, when in your career did you realize the importance of iterative development
