This is awesome! Two features requests: 1. A plot over time 2. Could you adjust the income for inflation, so when you click back 1yr your income goes down accordingly?

This is excellent! I can't wait for Pixar to pick this up and release a gorgeous hand-painted film.

"Unexpectedly, watching videos also benefited intelligence (standardized β = + 0.12)" I would love to know what "watching videos" means here. There's a big difference between…

For a long time, I was skeptical that model-free RL would ever be useful on robots. Dramatic advances in simulation have changed my mind. With domain randomization enabling sim2real transfer, it may s…

The demo here is underwhelming compared to old-school winamp visualizers. But I think that with deep learning, there is now a real opportunity to make a kickass visualizer. Take a GAN and set the late…

This description of Lex Fridman's research is generous. If you listen to his own podcast (previously called the Artificial Intelligence podcast, now the Lex Fridman Podcast), you'll find tha…

"We found those who had both the poorest sleep quality and who exercised the least were most at risk of death from heart disease, stroke, and cancer" If we make the (strong) assumption that …

I can't wait to hear what my dog has to say about life. I'm sure I'll be part enamored and part horrified!

Don't get me wrong, Bitcoin is an ecological nightmare and I think it should be shunned accordingly. But the "fun-fact" that it consumes more energy than solar produces is false. "…

For anyone else who is wondering which is which, Duplex is the much more realistic sounding male voice.

I'm taking it this semester!

Pretty amazing build! It really reminds me of the insects from Miyazaki's Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind.

Sample size of 1: I'm an EECS PhD student at MIT and one of my required courses (6.822) is taught entirely in Coq

"Your time is your most important asset." Agreed. That being the case, do you really want to read 20-200 pages of introduction and as much conclusion with a relatively low channel capacity…

Can we get some snoops to do super-resolution? I'm sure there's some clever way to combine multiple frames and de-convolve the blur...

Shriram Krishnamurthi is the real deal. When I started at Brown I was majoring in Mech-E and took a programming course with Shriram on a whim. It was the hardest course I took in undergrad. Needless t…

+1 for content -1 for formatting. Can we at least get a monospace font here?

Totally agreed. It's so frustrating to me that out of the thousands of brilliant interviewers out there, we got this guy somehow bubbling up to the top. Maybe he brings the conversation down to t…

I think that this is question is in the direction of Stephen Wolfram's approach to AI. Namely: build a programming language that is capable of solving all kinds of problems (Wolfram Language), an…

This seems like a HUGE insight! As I understand it, they show that RL can effectively be recast as two sub-problems: 1. learning a policy that imitates your own behavior on prior experience, which is …
