Moravec‘s Paradox

A group of international researchers at The University of Manchester have revealed a novel method that could fine tune the angle -- "twist" -- between atom-thin layers that form exotic human-made nanodevices called van der Waals heterostructures -- and help accelerate the next generation of electronics. The new technique can…

Deep learning is great, but no, it won't be able to do everything. The only way to make progress in AI is to put together building blocks that are there already, but no current AI system combines. Adding knowledge to the mix, getting over prejudice against "good old AI", and…
