RE: Meltdown and Spectre - a Global Hypocrisy
I agree, the true "dark ages" end is nigh.
Truth will be the new gold in this digital information world. To some it's sad news and to others its old news but if you look at the bright side, I feel like a lot of energy in every category such as money, data, oil, etc was being "wasted" or experimented on and it comes to a point where we then get cheated in those categories because someone KNOWS something and doesn't want to share it.
Take for instance on how most paper is being wasted everyday. If you calculated the use and quantity over time and the amount of destruction, production and mobilization costs, do you think deep learning programs that can bring about innate knowledge from scratch, would eventually pick up on the task of making paper efficient and useful?
We need to take responsiblity and apply this math and tech in our daily lives. The truth is we don't! And that's why governments prefers information on nonsense and illegal purchases or whatever these chips contain that is so important.
Great post! I hope there was a choice c) Some do care and make it a habit to shine good info with a mirror ;)
It's already bright enough to read a response such as this one. I totally agree with all the aspects being said.
As for the deep learning, I think it will be able to help a lot, both from the point of sharing but also from the point of efficiency. I shared the "double pendulum" project on purpose. It took us thousands of years to discover gravitational constant, while software did it in a matter of seconds. Deep learning is very promising technology.
As for the knowledge sharing, could not agree more. Everything is well hidden for the purpose of profit, and that needs to stop.
From the philosophy point of view, after Dark Ages, it needs to come another Renaissance. And it's about time.
The current tactic of "hiding" knowledge looks something like this :) Not very stable ground on long term.
By the way, adding option C. Yeah!
