CFAR should post more stats about success rates of any kind and maintain these stats throughout all cohorts.

Also stats about how many people asked for their money back.

It's not really RAM, but rather a tape. (like a doubly linked list) The LSTM controller can't specify any location in logarithmic space / time. They add multiple tape readers at one point though.

The performance curves database site only has data submitted from '09 to '10. None of the data sets are up to date. There's also not much context to the data, so it can be misinterpreted easily.

What's the relevance of this, for comparing them to energy funding earlier this century? I agree this is a problem. I think they usually have a citation that can be followed.

It'd just model a world where if the machine it sees in the mirror turns off, it can no longer influence what happens.

When the function it uses to model the world becomes detailed enough, it can predict only being able to do certain things if some objects in the world survive, like the program running on that computer over there.

Gattaca, except everyone is actually superhuman and nobody cares about whether you'll have a heart attack at thirty except your doctor.

It seems like Qualia the Purple is a manga where after a certain point, the author introduced magic and started giving philosophic explanations for how the main character can do magic, turn into other people, go back in time, and generally do whatever the fuck she wants except save one person. What does "actually try" mean?

Starting from chapter 10, the protagonist dedicates herself to a single goal, and never wavers from that goal no matter what it costs her throughout countless lifetimes. She cheats with many-worlds magic, but it's a kind of magic that still requires as much hard work as the real thing.

Iterated embryo selection was pretty interesting. I wonder if there is anything viable about inserting new / activating the growth of neurons / synapses into the human brain, particularly into specifically targeted areas, like the section(s) where people do math.

Is there literature I could read on the differences between the performance of the neurons DARPA uses and the neurons Blue Brain uses?

I have a few scattered links, but I would also welcome a more detailed bibliography on the topic of new neurologically-inspired AI tools. Both of these systems are doing something vastly different than the neural networks used in machine learning. Deep Mind is yet another thing.

Are there examples in the different octants suggested by this? In particular, is there an example of something automatic, but slow and effortful?

Trying to balance on one foot? Applying social intelligence in high-pressure situations? (As in "How do I keep Dad from killing me when I tell him I just destroyed the car?") Acting? (As in stage and film acting.) You have to "fake" various subtle signals people aren't usually consciously aware of.

This is what I was curious about as well. The other "weird" octant, manual, fast, easy, seems to be populated by the fact that we can feed things from system 2 to system 1 to simulate. Automatic, but slow and effortful seems like it is "system 1 feeding system 2 things." WHich again brings to mind math, but maybe processing of emotional experiences as well. fast-effortful seems implausible?

I wrote a 140 character lambda calculus interpreter and a bigger and more complete (static name resolution + renaming + repl) version of it.
