Nice! Had not read about this concept earlier. Will research more on it. Thanks for sharing!

Fair points. Would love to hear the other 'anythings' that can replace DNNs (something that optimises and stores knowledge that can be passed down generations to further build more sophisticated systems).

I thought DNNs are a good framework to contemplate the reason as well as mechanics of our existence. And using the framework I came to the thought that we probably do not have any grand purpose.

Also, I think saying that the universe is a DNN system is different from saying that it is 'a system'.

Agree DNNs are not magical for someone who has been working on them forever but for a new entry into the ML field, believe me they are pretty magical :)

We use jekyll for our blog( https://mentii.com/blog ) and use disqus for the commenting system. If you are comfortable using markdown and need something lightweight and fast, then jekyll is perfect. On the other hand wordpress has a lot of themes and plugins to choose from and pretty much everything that you'll ever need is already there. If there are non developers who are going to contribute to your blog, then wordpress would be a better option IMHO.

The request meeting sends 3 specific times for the other person to accept one, thus making it easier to setup a meeting with them.

And to add to this .. We have some karma already in place and its called "Respect". Users can go to profile of others and give them Respect (by clicking on the Respect button) which helps in bubbling up engaged mentors in the community.
