Crawling isn't innate (unlike walking). Every baby must *invent* crawling, from scratch, using extremely little data, and no reference to imitate. Which is why different babies end up with different ways of crawling. Sometimes people tell me, "you say AI isn't intelligent until…
If you see yourself as a victim, you'll be convinced that the world views you that way too. The Dartmouth Scar Experiment reveals that. Participants thought they'd be interviewed for jobs with a fake scar on their face, which they saw being applied by a makeup artist. However,…
My "new book" is short textbook (volume 6), and is getting close to publication real soon now. But authors are chronically over-optimistic about when a book will be finished. My rule of thumb is multiply an estimate of finishing (say, two months) fourfold (8 months).
