Build Your Own Neural Network

    I don't have time to play with such a thing. I'm too busy developing the neural network in my skull.

      But "playing" with something like this is a good to way to waste ti-, er develop your built-in neural network.

      Maybe if this Joone were the one just discovered, you'd "sneak" some time, no?

    Heh. For the same reason you use a computer instead of a trained monkey. Less crap to clean up and it doesn't talk back. At least if it does you can unplug it. :-)

    I have no idea what you just said but I'll trust that you know what you are talking about..

    Remember the Norns from Creatures ? What kind of neural networks should I be reading about to replicate that kind of learning ?

  5. skynet dept? by mraymer · · Score: 2, Funny
    Let's hope we don't make a neural net CPU like SKYNET, because, let's be honest here, SKYNET is pretty dumb:

    1) It has an obvious preference for the dramatic... For example, rather than having the original Terminator simply walk over and kill Sarah Connor when she is stuck in an overturned vehicle, it instead has the Terminator commandeer a semi and attempt to run her over. Brilliant!

    2) It doesn't believe in rushing into a kill as quickly as cyborg-ly possible, but instead has its Terminators advance slowly on the hapless victim.

    3) Despite all these logical fallacies in SKYNET's programming, it is able to use automated factories to conduct research and development at a level beyond humans, in order to: build Terminators. Oh yeah, and master time travel.

    So, let us hope that if we ever built a SKYNET, it wouldn't be stupid enough to conquer time, and then have no idea what the next logical step is.

      Don't you get it? SkyNet is'nt some vast computer system that uses AI technology for defense purposes. SkyNet is George Bush's secret plan for taking over the world. Here's the plan :
      - Arnie will rule California later this year.
      - A "terrorist" strike from North Korea will strike LA in the same year
      - Arnie will rip off his suit revealing his sleek tight fitting leather terminator outfit underneath
      - Pilotless UAVs will start to bomb LA
      well you've seen the movies you can figure out the rest. Don't say I did'nt warn you.

    Does anyone remember a programming language that was specifically for creating, training and using neural networks?

    Hey, have you read the posts here yet? If it ain't Java no one will use it. All hail the mighty Java!

    I've hilighted some terms to help prove my theory. ;)

    So there you have it:

    An amazing "discovery" that "aims" to use "Java technology" in order to the "fulcrum" of "all applications that already exist or will be developed". Whatever.

    Let's see...we'll be using a virtual machine to emulate a virtual network of simulated neurons...no thanks!

    I can understand the desire to have portability, but this just reeks. It's like using basic to emulate a 486. The part of me that appreciates elegant, efficient design is puking on the floor.
