Re: Ed's talk at Davos
its equivalent to study the patterns of ink on millions of books, trying to figure by a data base search of lines circles wiggles and dots, a meaning of even one word. its orthogonal to the problem set at hand
Hmm...
BTW, I've started talking to science historians... spend the evening last night with Gerry Holton. Interesting to hear how/when/who made the important discoveries. Lots to learn there.
The body as spirit during crusades, as electric, magnetic, devices during Boltzmann, machines during industrial revolution, computers during past years. Some insights but not many
BTW, one smart guy I met recently is Demis who runs deep minds. Have you followed the AlphaGo stuff?
Yes but not detailed
There isn't one as good as his talk at MIT but it's pretty good:

340M people watched the video of the match.
Key thing is that AlphaGo is creative and intuitive. It doesn't use calculations like Deep Blue but gets to symbolic reason through reinforced learning on neural networks.
