As someone who has actively written algorithms for passport security verifications, including photo strict requirements and validation, this post really struck a chord with me.

Awesome work!

Pix money transfer/payment system. Fully digital, easy to use, fast, cheap, available 24/7, launched by Brazil Central Bank and with massive adoption in the first year.

I am browsing the web in search for NLP resources as I consider a pivot into this new area (I already have a few years in data science and image processing) and finding this post on HN is a bless! I will be going through the course for sure!

Can this statically compiled? Why would anyone opt for this instead of Torch or DLIB?

I wonder how the passive voice detection is done... could be useful for a colleague research of writting patterns.

And he is going against a lot of money, hype driven startups and arguably inflated paychecks... It is expected to have people misinterpreting and criticizing him.

> Because capitalism and free enterprise are predicated on fair competition and equal access.

This is so important and seldom mentioned in internet discussions.

> Extreme inequality undermines this by allowing those who already have significant wealth to put their finger on the scales (lobbying, anticompetitive practices, etc.)

There is a number os scholars who will point that as we currently stand, those things, including the extreme inequality, are consequence of the current system.

Hey, thanks por posting this and adding to the discussion. You raise some points that I feel are very important.

Hey, lovely answer, I will take my time to go through all of this.

I currently research mental representation such as emotions in applied computing which is near-at-hand with ToM and although many of the theories seem intuitive, the replication crisis is something that really bothered me (since I come from a STEM background).

I will read through your post and definitely check the sources, thank you very much!

As for your last point, ToM+Autism might be one of the more interesting aspects of ToM research and as far as I can tell, we are far from conclusive theories.

Would you kindly expand on the issues with ToM and embodied cognition that were affected by the Replication Crisis?

You mention a main component that was badly hit, what would that be?

Thanks in advance!

I had the same two games in mind when I saw it! Looks promising.

I wonder how the AI behaves... Dwarf Fortress is such a gem of a game.

I believe your opinion aligns pretty well with a crescent number of researchers that see in investments like this exactly the scenario for the warp-drive you described.

In your opinion what should computer scientists be focusing on in order to achieve more advanced AI systems? I'm thinking things such as reasoning, causality, embodied cognition, goal creation, etc.

And this is without even delving into the ethics aspects of (some instances of) AI research.
