I'm reading Neural Networks and Deep Learning and it drifts off into Algebra a little more than my intuitive brain wants. So I google around a little more to try and understand what's happening with backpropagation, sigmoid neurons, perceptrons, and find the following video. It has a decent survey […]
I just started learning about cybernetic intelligence in a practical way, no longer consigned to reading about it as an interesting idea that flies past quickly, but now thinking more seriously about it. Got a few steps inside the gate, reading a few pages of text on my small phone browser and […]
Since it's actually an OS issue more than a DB issue, this solution works for more than just MySQL which is mentioned in the article linked below. This fix is the only one that worked for me using SQL SERVER after trying everything else. So I figured I'd put this out there for others to find: […]
Insightful article about going beneath the surface layer to understand people. Google attracts enough talent that it can afford to look beyond the obvious factors in hiring. For example: "leadership — in particular emergent leadership as opposed to traditional leadership. Traditional leadership […]

We usually think of the pole of the switch as some kind of neutral, like the definition of the word "set" in set theory, the neutral pole at the center of a rotary switch (see below). This pole is us, interacting with analog interfaces into the great digital Cybernetic Intelligence we've […]

More importantly than techie cops in this story from Wired, we need the cybernetic intelligence to be self-governing, and that requires some kind of morality engine. I know the approach in the link above is more concerned about policing the people who are developing AI, but it sparks the […]

Very cool that this worked, so I figured I'd share online in case it happens to you. The screen went bad on my iPhone 5, so I couldn't tell the iPhone to trust iTunes in order to make a backup. It kept prompting me to enter a passcode which I couldn't enter. Hold your power and home buttons down for […]
what we discovered was great originality comes from being quick to start but slow to finish. That when you dive right into a task, you close yourself off to incubation. If you finish early, you're stuck only with your most conventional ideas, your first ones. You never have time to think outside […]
