@wasphyxiation @woke8yearold licensing software would be a desperate move from apple, damages their brand value, etc. only way they could do it is to build a car from the ground up, which they have been trying to do based on their hiring patterns - but they're too boring and sclerotic to succeed

@wasphyxiation @woke8yearold the fact that audi would kill to put that sticker there means that it would damage apple's brand. that audi is not gonna create the smooth software experience that customers want to see in apple products

@ParrotRobot @VectorOfBasis pros of research: - usually feels interesting / fun - my work seems important to me - i make my own hours cons of research: - the reality of science rarely lives up to the ideal (very messy, avg paper quality far lower than i imagined) - i make my own hours - lonely - poor

@bowserbot2 i think theres a solid argument that real synapses have less fidelity than the precise, instantly back-propagating ANN's
5 ♥ · x.com →
· ↳ reply to @ded_ruckus
@ded_ruckus @bowserbot2 is this a matter of architecture or just downloading the right synaptic weights from the genome? my feeling is it's the latter
6 ♥ · x.com →
· ↳ reply to @ded_ruckus
@ded_ruckus @bowserbot2 yeah one thing that's interesting about the brain is how much sparser it is compared to ANNs a synaptic link is very deliberate, whereas ANNs are highly dense, and many parameters are just 0
4 ♥ · x.com →
@bowserbot2 @ded_ruckus what is the minimal inductive bias you can give to children such that they will learn the rest easily? i think it's an open question how efficient the genomic bottleneck can be eg kids are instinctually afraid of snakes, but what portion of the snake was passed thru the genes
7 ♥ · x.com →
· ↳ reply to @tszzl
@bowserbot2 @ded_ruckus surely they don't need an insanely high res image snake.mp4 in the genome. the squiggly lines and specific pattern of movement can be pretty low fidelity
