Drawing on discussions of concept learning from the philosophical literature, this article develops a detailed interpretation of bootstrapping that can answer the circularity challenge. The key to this interpretation is the recognition of computational constraints, both internal and external to the mind,...
“If one allows for closed causal loops, then in a way, the opposite thing happens as in the grandfather paradox case. With the grandfather paradox, there seems to be no logically self-consistent solution,” Maudlin concludes. “But in the bootstrapping cases, there are often several differen...
It is going to be a very different experience for me. Unlike my previous venture, I have a partner and we are looking for funding (ping me if you have any :-). It is not a bootstrap effort. We already have offices, not working from home or coffee shops. It is a consumer web ap...
I was trying to bootstrap bazel 0.4.1 (and 0.4.0) and hit multiple errors, like this: Error occurred during initialization of VM java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: unable to create new native thread , # There is insufficient memory for the Java Runtime Environment to continue. # Cannot create ...
Action shapes (Actionsh): Action shapes were generated by drawing a selection of abstract shapes. We focused on elementary geometric shapes, such as circle, oval, sine wave and triangle, saw tooth, plus slightly more complex figures including two of the elementary shapes, e.g. small circle/tr...
Dark Matter Could Unlock a Limitless Energy Source The Source of All Consciousness May Be Black Holes Immortality Is Impossible Until We Beat Physics How a Lunar Supercollider Could Upend Physics Is Consciousness Everywhere All at Once? One Particle Could Shatter Our Concept of Reality ...
As in Reference [23], we follow a block-bootstrapping pairs scheme to preserve the time correlation of the data, and take B bootstrap samples of block size 𝑏=2b=2 months. We describe briefly the procedure and refer to the original paper for further details. Step 1 Estimate benchmark ...
