If it's a niche shouldn't you charge way more? $400 sounds really low to me.

Great idea! How did you market it?

How does this work? How can you even tell VoIP data from non-VoIP data? I would have guessed that everything is encrypted.

And the TypeScript compiler is now capable of generating the polyfills too, so you don't even need Babel for that: https://bit.ly/2UlW9hs

TypeScript supports async/await pretty well (after transpilation of course).

Nice, clear explanation. Looking forward to the Bayesian inference one!

One note though: I think on equation 25 you are missing a log on the left hand side.

> I don't think biological precedent is the only or even most valuable heuristic for deciding where to research intelligence...

Good point, we wouldn't have AlphaZero now if we only relied on biological inspiration. Nature hardly ever performs Monte Carlo Tree Search (though I'm not sure this is entirely true, see slime mold searching for food: https://thumbs.gfycat.com/IdealisticThirdCalf-size_restricte...).

I don't understand this fixation on symbolic reasoning. Do any other animals practice this? If the answer is no, then it is probably not the most important milestone to AGI or at least not the one we should be currently aiming for. Right now we can not replicate the cognition of a mouse. Feels like we want to go to Mars before figuring out how to build a rocket.

> Please someone who knows much more than me about deep learning tell me how a deep learning ai can explain how it came to an answer.

A mouse can't do that either. Yet we are unable to mimic mouse intelligence with any of our current tools.

Why wouldn't you buy a Ryzen?

> Compare that to the various website side projects I've worked on over the years which have made me hundreds of thousands of dollars (over 10 years).

Was this orders from clients or did you create some SaaS?

If this was true, wouldn't everybody be programming in assembly? E.g. developing a website in assembly would keep more people occupied than HTML/JS/CSS.
