Explain(this modern world science, math, computation, technology). Miguel Nicolelis Says the Brain is Not Computable, Bashes Kurzweil’s Singularity. Http:/ www.technologyreview.com/view/511421/the-brain-is-not-computable/. Proclaiming that the randomness or interconnectivity of the brain can’t be reproduced on a computer severely misunderstands what it going on in computing and AI research these days.

Explain(this modern world science, math, computation, technology). All posts by Mark Crowley. The Big Deal about Big Data and Deep Learning. This recent article in Nature. Is causing some waves and explains the algorithms quite well, the discussion in Andrew Ng’s Google post. Is also good to add a bit more context about the wider progress in Artificial Intelligence research. January 15, 2014. Posted in Artificial Intelligence. Posted by Mark Crowley on January 15, 2014.

Computationally Thinking: Computers Cannot Make Ethical Choices For Us
http://www.computationallythinking.com/2015/03/computers-cannot-make-ethical-choices.html
Computers Cannot Make Ethical Choices For Us. I came across this interesting post on the legal and insurance implications of Tesla's upcoming self-driving feature. The new feature would only work for interstate highways in the USA but it would be a big step towards automated driving in cars being widely used in regular driving situations. From a technological perspective it is exciting. To deduce whether they should sacrifice the driver by suddenly swerving away, or run down the child. To be used to make...

Invasive species - 2013 Competition
http://2013.rl-competition.org/domains/invasive-species
2013 Reinforcement Learning Competition. The ecological and economic damage caused by invasive species has increased rapidly around the world. This has created a need for good policies for managing invasive species. The management problem can be formalized as an MDP describing the state and dynamics of a tree-structured river network. The model is a generalization of one developed by Muneepeerakul et. al, 2007 [Muneepeerakul, R., Weitz, J. S., Levin, S. a, Rinaldo, A., and Rod...Slots ("habitats"), and e...

Should America Make Voting Mandatory? | Pop The Stack

Canadian Politics and Democratic Reform. Declaration of Voter Rights (sign! Electoral Reform Society (UK). Should America Make Voting Mandatory? March 19, 2015. So US President Obama recently suggested that making voting mandatory. With the ballot. Most people will choose to vote but we cannot mandate free citizens to choose from a list of two, or even five or 20 for that matter, without giving them the option of saying “no, just no”.

If an election falls in the forest and nothing changes…ever, is it still a democracy? | Pop The Stack
https://popthestack.wordpress.com/2015/05/03/if-an-election-falls-in-the-forest-and-nothing-changes-ever-is-it-still-a-democracy
Canadian Politics and Democratic Reform. Declaration of Voter Rights (sign! Electoral Reform Society (UK). If an election falls in the forest and nothing changes…ever, is it still a democracy? May 3, 2015. I’m an outsider to Alberta politics so I’ll try to avoid talking about which party should win or what policy issue is most important. But there are some disturbing, anti-democratic threads in the wave of editorial endorsements for the ruling PC party in Alberta that I want to highlight. They even admit...
