Among psychology, all theories are technology. Dismiss it if you must, but it is all technology. In the '70s so much was discovered, but it is not provable...

We shall disapprove! This is our purpose!

write a script (not even worth real code) to replace MBAs once and for all?

3... 2... 1....

Be all Wickersham Brothers about it, why don't you. The guy's a decent writer.

I hope it isn't branchy either, because that would imply that I was completely ignorant of all modern neural algorithms. How'd you get modded up to three?

A the math for a neural network accelerator chip is indistinguishable from the math for graphics. It's all the same multiplying vectors and matrices. And most of the work is done up front in training the neural network, the results of which can be distributed to computers with processors of lesser power. If qualcomm is going to get a couple of teraflops on a single core then power to them.

Not a helpful answer. There is no information anywhere on the web on whether these are continuous or discrete neural networks. As far as putting it on the chip, if it is a discrete neural network, then there is no advantage over a cuda enabled neural network running on an nvidia tesla. It is just Malibu Stacy with a new hat.

Yes, prison spreads HIV, Hep B&C, Tuberculosis, etc. And it causes non-violent offenders to be subjected to sexual violence. Thanks for pointing that out.

Hey fellow Socorroan. Literally across the street at TERA (now EMRTC) they were having happier times poisoning the town with their depleted uranium research.

Harrison Bergeron should be the name of this new chip version. Can they introduce periodic crashes, too?

Making bugs visible does affect whether the code actually works. So does making the components testable.

It is easier to find bugs in code where all of the objects, variables, methods, etc. are named according to their actual purpose. It is easier for other researchers to integrate their own ideas if the code is self documenting. It is easier to integrate with other software if the interfaces are cleanly defined. It is easier to verify the results of intermediate steps if there is proper encapsulation. Also, proper encapsulation reduces the chances of unintended side-effects when data is modified outside of scope.

My brothers (aged 6 and 8 while I was 3) used to drug me with a NyQuil laced ice cream shake they'd call a "Shamrock Shake" so they could go out to play. Worked wonders, but I won't leave a drink unattended til this day.
