Wow. Someone may finally have solved the Grand Unified Theory of Quantum Physics and General Relativity. The maths is way beyond me, so I'm looking forward to explanations as they come out. interestingengineering.com/science/gene...#Physics

Magical equation unites quantum physics, general relativity in a first

Scientists have finally figured out a way to connect the dots between the macroscopic and the microscopic worlds. Their magical equation might provide us answers to questions like why black holes don'...

Results are from training a simple binary classifier against an SKLearn "circles" dataset. Three layers: 10-unit relu, 5-unit relu, 1-unit sigmoid.

Running some experiments to see how the fraction of active units in a network affects learning rates (ie: have a non-zero output activation), and the first result is very promising - looks like a clear indication that low activity rates badly affects learning rates. #MLSky

I'm stoked that an article of mine has been published with strong praise by AI Advances, a Medium.com#mlskywww.linkedin.com/posts/aiadva...

Surprising outcome #4: consciousness is an emergent phenomenon, that depends on having the right kind of structural organisation

Surprising outcome #3: our conscious perception of our thoughts may be only a tiny fraction of our actual thoughts.

Surprising outcome #2: consciousness is "post-causal": having no influence over the event to which we are conscious, but having direct influence over subsequent events.

Surprising outcome #1: the cartesian theatre metaphor is actually a very good metaphor for conscious function.
