common way for electrical circuits, computer programs, brain mechanisms and other complicated systems, even cultural or spiritual movements, to behave when one or more important control parameters crosses a threshold. Doyne Farmer of the Los Alamos’s Prediction Company once said...

…ne learning program that can learn how to play an Atari game without any human supervision or hand-crafted engineering (the feat that gave DeepMind 500M from Google) now just takes about 130 lines of Python code. These models do not have interesting motivational systems, and a r...
I found a solution that seemed to make sense then. It was the exact opposite of what I think now. If maintenance consumption were recovered in pay and work products, as I now think human depreciation but not maintenance consumption is, then human depreciation instead of maintenan...
