6/17 [REPOST] Anyone know of a good introduction to the Gell-Mann
8 Fold Way that can be understood by a engineering grad (7
series plus one ud phyics class and one ud math class)?
\_ forget it.
\_ forget it. There's so much physics out there that is accesible
to someone with the background you describe, that will actually
teach you something useful about how the world works, and can
be applied to useful things like how devices work. why fuck
around with useless stuff you need grad level math and physics to
understand?
\_ Because it is interesting.
\_ No. AI is interesting.
\_ I've worked on AIs before (GA,NN,ES,FL) and IMHO
physics is much more interesting because it is
understandable via mathematics. AI is just a bunch
of weeny structured programmers whinning about
lisp, scheme, semantics, cognition, determinism,
etc without ever producing anything useful because
the concepts of intelligence and self-awareness
are too hard to reduce into programmable abstractions.
About the only promising avenue of research in AI
is machine learning, but once you get right down to
it, the most fancy machine we have today is about
as smart as a fungus or possibly a protozoan.
\_ You are a stupid, stupid troll, friend. You need to
read a real AI textbook. What you are whining about is
not AI, it's cognitive science.
\_ Pick up any intro abstract algebra or group theory text, read
up on basic group theory, read the stuff on SP/SU groups, and
then we talk.

-*Warning*, DO NOT try and develop a relationship with a girl *before* you
sleep with her. Because, then your head gets all messed up, when they decide
they like that relationship they already got, and don't want to risk ruining
it by having sex.
\_ Why would you develop a relationship with her after you've slept with
her? Maybe it should be: "DO NOT try to develop a relationship with
a girl. Sleep with her as often as she'll allow until she stops putting
out." Seems like better advice that way.
\_ The age that I am, he's the reason I'm still single! These are
the guys who are out in the world.
\_ You are still single because you are a loser who blames sexually
satisfied people for your problems. Women can smell a loser a
mile away.
\_ Is that why they avoid me?
\_ Yes. |
