When I was a kid and I was trying to get to sleep, I'd close my eyes and remember all the different bedroom layouts I'd lived in. Like in one place the wall was to the left and top and the door was down by the foot of the bed. In another place the wall was just to the top and the window was to the left and down. In another place the wall was just to the top and the door was to the top and left. etc.
I learned a really valuable lesson in first grade. My friend Daniele had a really nice belt-buckle, but he was wearing it upside-down. I was like: Daniele, why is your belt-buckle upside-down? And he was like: so when I look down, I can turn it up and look at it.
Sounds interesting. Glad those topics are still being investigated. So important to remember that even those neural methods labored for decades in the shadows before they finally found the answers they needed.
Kinda sounds like you're talking about Explainable AI too. Very interesting set of fields, but I'm pretty sure they're all having funding problems too.

Game on the couch til I pass out. Wake up halfway thru the night, throw self on the mattress, shedding clothes til I'm comfortable. (varies by time of year)

I have an HP Chromebook 11 that I was going to install linux on (iirc you have to open it up and flip a hardware switch to do so) but I ended up keeping Chrome OS on it. Anyway I mention it bc the form-factor is nice, it's very small and light but still usable. Only thing I don't like is the touchpad so I hook up an external mouse whenever possible. You can get those chromebooks for under $100 refurbished too.
If an extinction-level event happens soon and all this info is stored in an EMP-proof bunker somewhere, future alien historians will say that the moths and the lamps represented how helpless we felt in the face of our certain demise.

ikr signing into my slrpnk.net account was like going to an old home I hadn't been in for a while.
