This. Exactly this.
Thanks for phrasing it.
Interestingly enough for me concepts have a "visual" quality in my experience.
I don't see an image, but I see a "geometric" structure how the concepts relates to all kinds of other concepts in this world.

With software like infranodus, i'm like... "That's what I see!"

Comment Re:Entropic Gravity by Erik Verlinde (Score 1) 118

Interesting. Do you have any sources that show entropic gravity still requiring an additional free parameter?
In margot's paper the data is consistent entirely without this dark matter component. At least as how I read the following article:

Let me know when I'm missing something.

Margot Brouwer of Leiden University already showed that Entropic Gravity explains the rotation curves of galaxies and clusters of galaxies as well as general relativity, with a minor difference. It doesn't require the introduction of hypothetical dark matter.

Curious to see whether this will go in the same direction

Submission + - Final Terry Pratchett Stories To Be Published In September (theguardian.com)

sjritt00 writes: The Guardian reports that a final collection of Terry Pratchett's early stories will be published in September
as The Time-travelling Caveman. These stories appeared in the Bucks Free Press and Western Daily Press in the 60s and early 70s and introduce many of the themes which later power his Discworld series.

Now the question remains how to monetize the free information #WithProfit instead of #ForProfit.

Joe Brewer's claim of the Center for Applied Cultural Evolution is that accounting of value creation has been the magic ingredient in all major historical shifts in economy.

1. Tracking memetic intercourse
2. ??
3. Profit

Interesting side note:
"Among other characteristics of publications, the number of figures in a manuscript consistently predicts its future citations."

Great find.

Sir Roger Penrose and Dr Stuart Hameroff explain in this video the possibility of intra-neuronal quantum resonant computing as physical representiveness of medium for consciousness; Clearly rooted in a practical application of Anaesthesiology.

I wonder how stephen wolfram's hyperobjects would fit in the calculation scheme of 10E27 calculations per second when their microtubule paradigm holds to be useful.
The idea that neural-net's can hold abstractions was clearly demonstrated in 2016, when Google Translate proved to be able to perform 'Zero-Shot' Translations.

So a question could be whether lack of spike-level variance levels creates some measurable limitations.

Great progress!

Submission + - Facebook Research releases tech to create 3D models of people from photographs (github.io)

shirappu writes: The technology, called PIFuHD, takes photographs of people and reconstructs them in 3D. The tech works on deep neural networks with multi-level architecture that allows for high resolution and accuracy in 3D models even at low levels of memory. More is available in the detail-heavy research paper: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2004.004...

Applications for this kind of automated image digitization include medical imaging and virtual reality, and the researchers have released a version of the model for users to try out themselves on Google Colab (link: https://github.com/facebookres...)

I've spoken up on the ICANN public forum emphasizing the importance of getting this deal right. A lot can be said what's wrong. When I tried to commend Ethos capital on what they are actually doing right (Being a value based company) the record will show that I got cut off.

I would like to ask for your opinions. How do I best raise this issue?

I want to move forward on speaking out on this case. Add your voice to mine and let's create a better world:
