This highlights to me the compounding of knowledge networked AI experts working with human experts will bring.

"But I wonder if someday there will be a representation that is more easily interpretable like language but is able to capture high dimensional complex functions in a standard and concise way"

Perhaps we can train AI experts to show us what parameters they found most useful in contrast to what human experts used. That could be a start at filling in the human knowledge gaps.

The time to negotiate that would have been before this announcement. Carney has doomed Canada's auto industry because he is negotiating with his emotions.

yes, go ahead and have ads but any income over server fees can be shared with open source projects.

it is. There are many websites and applications that I use, like wikipedia and linux / kde that could help if they picked an application like Mastodon and promoted it on their site. I only use social media about once a month so I am far from expert but an ad supported open source facebook clone that stayed non profit by sending its profits to other open source sites would be ideal.

I was just today looking to see who owns Flex and Air. There is Apache Flex but it does not look like it is widely used. And it looks like Air was sold to Harman an audio electronics subsidiary of Samsung.

It would be cool if there was a browser that had a full set of components that would allow fast construction of internal dashboards, CRUD apps, etc. via new html tags. if not that then maybe a custom browser with flex enabled for internal use only. The security and performance would have to be improved but seems like a really fast way to prototype and build internal only sites.

wow, thanks Matt. You and Lincoln Stein (Bioperl founder if I remember correctly) got me started with my first website.

This is why I rarely post on the internet. So easy to misunderstand tone. I seems as if you are mis-understanding my original post. I was only hoping for the best for Harlanji based upon my personal experience. BTW, I was delivering furniture that first year.

Yes, I did this for about three months when I first moved to California. I was flat broke and it gave me a chance to stay dry and save up money.
