Nice story telling. (watch the video) The materials are actually cool, but the venus flytrap pitch (hinting at a biomimetic success) or the embodied intelligence speech are "a bit" of a stretch,

uups :)

Well, I wouldn't expect a reply: "all our past emails have been downloaded and sold to NASA" even if that was the case.

Of course Marek is right... What matters is the theatre of security, not security itself. Just like in airports :)

Taking out the trial and error network design and adding ensembles.

Prediction-based method for encouraging reinforcement learning agents to explore their environments through curiosity (reward for unfamiliar states). Learns some games without any extrinsic reward!

Fun failure case: agent gets stuck in front of TV.

Not read this article but on a related note: Curiosity and various metrics for it have been explored for some time in robotics (outside of RL) as a framework for exploring (partially) unfamiliar environments. I came across some papers on this topic applied to UAVs when prep'ing for a PhD app. This one (http://www.cim.mcgill.ca/~yogesh/publications/crv2014.pdf) comes to mind - which used a topic modelling approach.

What happens if you put a TV in the maze your robot is supposed to navigate (driven by curiosity)?

Does the fact that I follow this process of learning, make me a meta-learner? Or a pre-robot?

Its doing it again. Anyone wants to play the "explain this" game?

no cutting-edge space-related science, but important anyways

The EFF communicate is actually quite inaccurate. This is disappointing from the EFF, though for some part, it is due to the communication from the researchers who "discovered" the attack. PGP itself is not broken, but rather some implementations on some email clients (notably Enigmail, though it was patched several months ago). See https://protonmail.com/blog/pgp-vulnerability-efail/ On the other hand, if you are very keen on security, there is an XSS attack reported on Signal, so… https://thehackernews.com/2018/05/signal-messenger-code-injection.html The *good* recommendation here is actually rather to keep your software stack up to date (surprising, no?) and keep encrypting your emails.

microsoft just bought github ...

How much did Apollo cost?

Crowd-funded LightSail is sailing in space!

Fascinating insight into the question of how networks learn.

Might be of interest for torchquad and other projects
