[agi] DARPA funds using memsistors to model synapses in neuromorphic computing

2008-11-27 Thread Ed Porter
A few months ago I read an article saying DARPA had issued one of their requests for proposal for a neuromorphic computing architecture. I thought the request was extremely interesting because it was asking for proposals for how to build a system that was capable of Hebbian like learning and

Eric, You have made a series of fantastic allegations, and I asked what evidence you had for them, and all you provide is that you have experienced them while under the influence of drugs. I hope --- for your sake --- that for at least some percent of your weekly existence you are sober

But that in no way means your statements are correct descriptions of external reality, as many of your statements would appear to claim to be. And you have provided no evidence, other than drug induced experience within your own mind, that they are. Ed Porter The notions of correct

All I've tried to impress is that these revelations, epiphanies, theophanies or what-have-you are at least as primary as the sensations associated with daily life. I am tempted to compare the problem to that of many people speaking about one microscope no-one can access. If the issue is what you

2008/11/27 Matt Mahoney [EMAIL PROTECTED]: This is probably not a serious problem for neural networks because the connections could be written in parallel. It's actually much faster than the write times in the human brain, probably 10^4 seconds in the hippocampus and 10^8 seconds in the
