Extraordinary problems require extraordinary solutions. If we need a magic wand to eradicate nukes, then we have to make the magic wand, first, and use it to eradicate nukes, second. 1. Polina’s Dream “I dreamed of such a sunny afternoon, a lot of people … everything blooms … and suddenly … a wave…

Putin’s algorithm is damn simple and yet, at times, devilishly effective. However, it can be calculated, and it is very important to calculate Putin today for all of us. To understand how Putin works, we have to apply the theory of the Universe as a neural network (1,2,3), in which…

Алгоритм Путина — это чертовски просто и, порой, дьявольски эффективно. Однако, это считаемо, а просчитать Путина очень важно сегодня для всех нас. Чтобы понять, как устроен Путин, на придется применить теорию Вселенная как нейросеть, в которой проблемы сознания, интеллекта и машинного обучения рассматриваются с позиций фундаментальной физики. …

“The twisting of the conductors is carried out in order to increase the degree of connection between the conductors of one pair (electromagnetic interference equally affects both wires of the pair) and the subsequent reduction of electromagnetic interference from external sources, as well as mutual interference during transmission of differential…

The term inference in Karl Friston’s theory means the derivation of an unknown cause from a known consequence. According to Friston, living beings guess about the cause hidden from them (by the Markov blanket), based on the outcome, which surprises them — precisely by the absence of an obvious cause. …

A mathematical model of just one neuron can predict earthquake aftershocks using only two parameters and logistic regression (the same one used in the Lotka-Volterra system of equations) with the same or higher accuracy as a deep neural network of six hidden layers of 50 neurons in each, processing over…

The simplest mathematical model of a neural network can generate the dynamics of both quantum and classical processes. Thus, the hypothesis that the universe is a neural network can become a unifying theory of everything. Some people call it God’s Algorithm. This is the essence of Vitaly Vanchurin’s hypothesis. If…

Sea angels are snails that have learned to fly. The shell falls off in infancy, and the angel flaps its former crawling leg like a butterfly flaps its wings to soar in the water column or rush for prey. Pablo Varona, a colleague of Mikhail Rabinovich in the development of…

Shrinking Brain, Hippocampus, Cognitive Maps and Objective Reality Welcome to the Jungle! It is impossible to find a reliable source of accurate information in the information jungle. The number of sources grows exponentially. Their reliability decreases at approximately the same speed. …
