  1. Re:blame academia on The Continuing American Decline in CS · · Score: 1

    Agreed. I think Edward Witten is a perfect example. He received his bachelor's degree in history from Brandeis University and is now a Fields medalist and may be one of the greatest physicists of our time.

  2. Re:baby bootstrap on The Baby Bootstrap? · · Score: 1
    I dabble in AI now and again so I haven't read up on everything that's out there, but in my limited travels what I haven't yet seen is a neural network implementation which can learn and grow itself.
    This might be interesting to you... http://www.cs.utexas.edu/~nn/project-view.php?RECO RD_KEY(Projects)=ProjID&ProjID(Projects)=14
  3. Re:I love this school on Video From The CMU Robotics Institute Showcase · · Score: 1

    Thanks for the response. I'm applying to the CALD Ph.D. program and I have some research projects and decent grades and test scores so hopefully it'll go well.

    "I highly urge anyone interested in the video to apply." Got any advice for a graduating senior who's about to?

    "As in, "Oh well, at least we own the auto industry." Not any more. "Oh well, at least we own the manufacturing tools industry (production line machinary)." Not any more. "Oh well, at least we own the telecommunications industry." Not any more. "Oh well, at least we own the software industry..." Well, not for much longer. And what's left? The only jobs remaining are the ones that require a physical human presence."

    It's not like there are a finite amount of industries that exist. For every auto/software industry "lost" in the United States a nanotechnology/bioinformatics industry gets created. Staying ahead, not on top, of industries seems to be what makes America powerful.
