You can get better estimates of the position and orientation of objects by using more measurements. Remember these neural networks are susceptible to sensor noise and environmental effects. I worked on an object recognition and tracking system once during my undergrad. When we boosted the frame rate it drastically improved the performance of the system.
I a had a "perfect moment" on mushrooms. Out on a camping trip with friends, I dropped mushrooms and I looked out over the water and into the sun. All of a sudden everything just seemed to "fit" and I felt a sensation of warmth and wholeness envelope my body. Anxiety, fear, and doubt dropped away and briefly, for the first time in my life I felt completely at peace. I imagine some people search their entire lives for such a moment. It didn't last and, for various reasons, I haven't attempted to duplicate the experience, but I will always remember it.
Sure it's an open question, there could be more than just matter and energy (I never said otherwise). But, claiming or implying that there is something else without evidence is not science. Being highly skeptical of such claims (as I am) is very scientific since it doesn't fit with what we observe. So, either make an argument or provide evidence that something else exists (other than what is currently unknown to modern physics), or only gullible people will take you seriously.
Do you have evidence to suggest that there is something other than what we presently observe in the universe? If not then you not being very scientific.
The why is important. From the second paper you linked,
The suicide attempt rate among transgender persons ranges from 32% to 50% across the countries. Gender-based victimization, discrimination, bullying, violence, being rejected by the family, friends, and community; harassment by intimate partner, family members, police and public; discrimination and ill treatment at health-care system are the major risk factors that influence the suicidal behavior among transgender persons.
The thing that's most intriguing to me about this theory is that it's somewhat repeated in human society. We get together, repeat ideas among small groups, pass them along to "higher levels" and eventually act as societies to do things. Now, with the internet, we have billions of people acting in some ways like neurons in a brain, reaching consensus about some things and chanting in chaotic disagreement about others.
What you have just described is Marvin Minsky's Society of Mind, which was the subject of his 1986 book. You stand in good company.
Kerchoff's Principle essentially states that the security of a cryptographic system should depend only upon the secret key and not on the secrecy of the system itself. Indeed in the book Cryptography Engineering, the authors claim that they have reviewed may secret cryptographic systems and all of them had flaws.
Excuse me while I adorn my tinfoil hat.. I don't think this has any anything to do with ISIS, that's just a smokescreen. This is all about power and increasing the reach of the surveillance state, hence all of the deception.
I got an offer from Apple. The hiring process was relatively painless: telephone interview, coding assignment, and six (not overly difficult) on site interviews.
When I decide I need to hire someone, I seek out applicants on my own, based on reputation in industry, published works, patents, and other factors. When I identify someone I want to hire, I send my talent team to make contact in person (i.e. stalk them haha), often literally with a tap on the shoulder.
Agreed. I suffer from a mental illness, and I would like to tell Google to go fuck themselves, but in all likelihood they've already mined my Gmail account and inferred my diagnosis.

Literally!
Datum is the correct singular version of data.

A book I read when I was young: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... Prescient perhaps?

Furthermore, "do dragons exist?" is an open question too and no amount of evidence will ever "close" it.

If you throw a dozen darts at a dart board blind folded, you might just hit something. You might also put somebody's eye out in the process.
What counts as legitimate when it comes to religions?
It won't fly.

Canadian citizenship is a privilege, not a consolation prize.

Now if only you would apply that argument to cars.
As a Canadian I would be happy with that arrangement :)

No doubt this will turn into the F-35 of IT security: badly designed, poorly implemented, over budget, behind schedule, and ultimately ineffective.
As long as they teach the Pastafarian creation story.

Who do you think work for? The CIA?
It basically amounts to torture. Should we allow torture behind bars just to satisfy our desire for revenge?

Intelligence is the ability to apply knowledge to solve difficult problems - at least that's my definition.
