    unless I'm testing specific hardware/software I always have a clean and duplicable VM as a test environment, (including VMs for any servers that may also be required). So I know what I'm testing and can snapshot, delta and clone it with little hastle.

  4. stupidity knows no bounds on The New AI: Where Neuroscience and Artificial Intelligence Meet · · Score: 1

    intelegence is easy, it's emulating stupidity that is the hard bit....a rare few of us do after all hopefully learn from out mistakes.

    Also wouldn't you want a AI that's less fickle than a human.

    It's also intersting to note that a lot of the problems solved appear to be of the visual type e.g. the word 'cat' had to be provided and that 'blank slate' theory has been disproven, though that's not an issue if the computer algorythms have long enough to evolve.

    I agree with your IO stuff, that bares strong relation to neurology.

    Personally I'm working on linguistics modeling and the senses, which is based on neurology I won't go into until I have something publishable, but you can find it out if you look for neurology in that area... you won't find anything in linquistics in that area though... it seems to be a hard problem even for humans.

    My my key problem was seeding, so I may take a look at deap learning to see what it has to offer, but I think a few lightly ranked examples (who ranking can be changed by the algorythm) would probably be most benifiial.... at least to do some primary set reduction on the data.

    I can think of nothing more like free will than walking around thinking your Jesus when everyone else says your not.... if it where not for the fact that Jesus is mentioned in the bible.

    Free will is a time domain paradox... you can have will free that fine.

    Anyhow, I thought they already pretty much proved that free will is a load of bollox just don't tell anyone or they may believe you.

    "Clearly the states that have clean air laws are discriminating against the private sector by insuring that "free" air is breathable. Clearly that has prevented the growth of new jobs in the bottled oxygen industry, at a time when jobs are so desperately needed. Why do we put up with these anti-jobs bureuocrats?"

    Actually they will be making money from fines and filtration, catalysts etc.. lots of fluoride to put in the water etc....

    Providing free access to sidewalks and paths for bicycles also harms taxi drivers and countless other businesses.

    It's more given any set of deeds where one tends to deeds the set of deeds with least resistance would be chosen. stress testing may be required. ponzi schemes set-up, choose an existing one you make your own or do some interfacing.
