"Heuristics are ad hoc. They tend [correct word?], you fix up the heuristics for limit theorems. Now when you go to algebra you need some new heuristics. And when you go to functional analysis and you need some new ones. When are you going to stop? This is what we want as a general purpose prover here. It will prove anything. You're in a dilemma. I mean if you get a general purpose prover oftentimes they're too weak."
"It was built to partly prove theorems, which is one of the jobs that AI does. [inaudible word] emission, theorem proving, and so forth."
"In order to be adaptable, an organism must be suboptimal."
"“I initially didn’t know much about copyright, fair use, etc. but became curious after seeing all the lawsuits filed against GenAI companies."
"You get a very special purpose prover that uses heuristics, then they stop at the boundary where they can't work anymore."
"If you believe what I believe, you have to just leave the company."
"This is not a sustainable model for the internet ecosystem as a whole"
"To write about models of the brain before the brain is fully understood is a delicate matter. Very detailed models of the neural circuitry risk losing track of the task the brain is trying to solve. At the other extreme, models that represent cognitive constructs can be so abstract that they lose all relationship to neurobiology. An Introduction to Natural Computation takes the middle ground and stresses the computational task while staying near the neurobiology."
"a Neural Network is a set of mathematical expressions that are really good at recognizing patterns in information, or data."
"A NN accomplishes this through a kind of human emulated perception, but instead of seeing, say an image, like a human would, the NN expresses this information numerically contained within a Vector or Scalar (a Vector only containing one number)."
"MNIST can be seen as the ‘Hello World’ dataset because it is able to demonstrate the capabilities of NNs quite succinctly. The dataset is made up of handwritten digits, which we will train our NN to recognize and classify."
"Homer and Shakespeare lived in very different times, more than two thousand years apart, but they both captured the same idea; we are not all equally intelligent. I suspect that anyone who has failed to notice this is somewhat out of touch with the species."
"This book provides a comprehensive introduction to the computational material that forms the underpinnings of the currently evolving set of brain models. It is now clear that the brain is unlikely to be understood without recourse to computational theories. The theme of An Introduction to Natural Computation is that ideas from diverse areas such as neuroscience, information theory, and optimization theory have recently been extended in ways that make them useful for describing the brains programs. This book provides a comprehensive introduction to the computational material that forms the underpinnings of the currently evolving set of brain models. It stresses the broad spectrum of learning models--ranging from neural network learning through reinforcement learning to genetic learning--and situates the various models in their appropriate neural context."
"To facilitate our implementation we are going to be using the Keras framework. Keras is a high-level API written in Python which runs on-top of popular frameworks such as TensorFlow, Theano, etc. to provide the machine learning practitioner with a layer of abstraction to reduce the inherent complexity of writing NNs."
"I don't think it's too hard in any particular area, although I think people are a little surprised how easy it was in limit theorems. I don't think the average person would do it."
"I am sure you will find no better wife anywhere.”"
"Sir, you’ll surely be welcome at our place, poor thought ‘tis,"

"“People thought I was mad being a builder. There was terrible prejudice.”"
"“How often do we get the position where a woman in a good job, commanding a good salary, has to be twice as good as a man to get his salary?”"
"“If men were having the babies they would soon see to it. By doing so they would be serving humanity better than by inventing atomic bombs.”"
"“We have to build a smaller house with all the amenities of the better houses before the war to give your wives the chance to be truly emancipated.”"
"The establishment is made up of little men, very frightened"
"There are certain men and women who, from the minute they step in front of a camera, that's exactly where they belong. Connery's one."
"There is nothing a woman can't do. Men might think they do things all by themselves but a woman is always there guiding them or helping them.""
"If these men decided that they have to go in there and fight, I want them to send their own children and grandchildren. I want them to not send a bunch of strangers' kids in there to fight and die."

""Radio is a bag of mediocrity where little men with carbon minds wallow in sluice of their own making."
"All of the men on my staff can type."
"My favorite academic experience occurred during our personality and leadership assessment session. As a Choleric with keen attention to details and work performance, I have thought to myself a few times that I was excessive, but learning about my strengths and confirming its significance to my work was empowering. I am now deliberate about my choice of support teammates."
"My application to the Mandela Washington Fellowship was driven by my quest for an experiential learning program that would improve my capacity in providing educational services and opportunities to children with disabilities and adolescent girls."
"During the six weeks academic residency, I and 24 other Young Africans from 21 different countries were hosted by one of the top universities in the United States; Drexel University, located at the heart of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania."
"Amongst us were persons with disabilities as well as persons with different personalities and sexual orientations. We all learned together and enjoyed equal opportunities in a fully inclusive environment that made learning interesting for all."
"My experience would lead me to doubt that Negro businesses can grow to large magnitude in the South without feeling something of restraint, as well as a certain sense of insecurity."
"Chicago, in my opinion, is the capital of Negro America"
"I had the opportunity to visit schools for the deaf, libraries for the blind, and art therapy centers. These visits afforded me a firsthand appreciation of how serious the inclusion of persons with disabilities mattered to the American people."
