I don’t see any scientific citations on how the mind works, about the different parts in this article. Is it all speculation or science fiction?


It isn't published academia, so why would this matter?


It matters because that would clarify how much this is thought out from first principles; how much recognizes and does not re-invent mountains of prior work; how broad or narrow the work is; whether it recognizes that directions of thought X and Y have been worked on quite a bit already, etc.

Since the author here says this is not just a random blog post.

To me, this would correct the introduction's reference to "AI-based language models". Which is a bit too "latest fad"; But which I do find fascinating because the success of language models hint that a very large part of the basic human's intelligence may be simply internalized language (much of the rest being still more pattern recognition.); But which cannot merely erase all other prior work on what makes our minds.


I live in 15th arrondissement, like 5 minutes from portes de versaille, 35 square meters, I pay 900€, not sharing a room. - I don't have a car, I use public transportation because you don't really need a car, ~90 Euros per month I can go as far as 40km outside paris, 50% of the public transportation is paid by the employer so it's 45€ per month - teleco bundle: 50€ (1Gbs up and down + 100Gb 5G) - energy spending: 35€/month - I eat basically 50% of the time outside, good food organic, burger, ramen etc ...

At the end of the month, I have 1k left.

You clearly don't know Paris, don't know France and don't know Europe :)


I live a Paris, with 45k net, you live very comfortably and have an active social life.


As long as you don't have kids.


.. and don't ever want to buy a place in the city itself, since a square meter costs more than 10k€ in most of Paris.


no but brave browser does


Thanks.


I don't get how this is "new" or "novel" ? it seems to me the law of cosine (or al kashi's theorem) we study this in high school in France ...

The concept isn't new or novel, the proof is (or might be).


Dijkstra did something similar when he derived a generalization of the theorem[1].

It's the Pythagorean theorem, a special case of the law of cosines. What's new is the proof method.


open source it man, we will figure out how to fix it !


well, they gotta pay back those $17M to investors !


avg coder: "let's use machine learning !"

bishopfox: yangi !


in one of the keynotes, didn't the current CEO said that Google is transitioning from a search to an Answers Engine ?


Maybe you will find out that you didn't miss your 20's ?
