• The real way that technology can change lives is by acting as a bicycle for the mind, a way to take human's latent creativity and allow them to focus it and employ it into something that makes their lives better.

  They squandered the holy grail - Xe Iaso

• The idea that a simple objective function plus a lot of data can drive incredibly complex behaviors makes it more interesting to understand the objective functions and architectural biases and less interesting to understand the details of the emergent computations. I have not followed the field closely in recent years, but I have a vague sense that computational neuroscientists have still not fully absorbed the lesson.

• There's a lot of valuable information out there, the main challenge is actually filtering the flood. One great filter are books - they provide information in condensed form, and reviews make it easy to find good books. Due to the slow process of publishing, books are best suited to topics that change slowly, if ever. Think fundamental principles and theories of a field, basic algorithms, etc. For more up to date information, I'm subscribed to the RSS feeds of several dozen high signal-to-noise blogs (<< 1 post/day each), as well as a daily newsletter with the top 30 posts from Hacker News.
