I have read several of the books that talk about what happened during the 80's and 90's in the video game era.

1) I also really wanted to hear more about the technology side. But it is clear after reading the books that almost all technology for Sony, Sega, and Nintendo was done in Japan. This meant that any story about what happened here in the U.S. can't be about the tech, but is much more about the marketing. Perhaps there is a wonderful book in Japan filled with interviews and stories that just needs to be translated, but I don't know of it.

2) Your right, the primary sources for the book were from Sega America. In the talk linked here the author makes it clear that he wasn't allowed much of any interview time with people from Nintendo, but maybe this isn't a bad thing. Nintendo was honestly a boring story. They do the same thing year after year, putting out good games for decent value. Sure they have a few wacky left field things (like owning a chucky-cheese at one point), but their main story isn't anything that crazy.

This is what I mean by it was an entertaining story to read. If you were to write a novel about consoles in the US during this particular time period you have to talk about the marketing and using the perspective of Sega to drive the narrative gives the audience a maddening rise and fall that is entertaining. Everyone has had that time everything went right or everything went wrong and everyone likes to talk about what they should have done and how they could have been great etc. It is a polarizing book, but if you don't expect it to be all the tech it is a decent story.

While I agree with what the article is saying, I would go a bit further. The main aim of the news is to disseminate today's propaganda, and to shape the public mind so it is ready to receive the propaganda of tomorrow. That it also can pay its own bills is not essential, only nice to have.

I'll stop you right there, No.

Men should not serve machines. Machines should serve men.

If the machine cannot take the abuse that people typically subject it to, then the design of the machine needs to be revised. Trying to modify human behaviour to suit the unnecessary mechanical limitations of machines is insane.
Anyone who feels actual remorse goes through all of the key "requirements" of an apology anyway without even trying. Maybe the biggest problem with public apologies is that they are, in fact, insincere. If I was a board member of a major company, a requirement I would have for a CEO is their ability to feel responsibility and remorse.
Perhaps the conditions being ripe for Napoleon require a Napoleank not the Napolean, which is the crux of this individual vs circumstances debate. The interesting question is whether Napoleon (or Hitler or Stalin) was a unique individual necessary for the progression of events we call history or could that role have been fulfilled by another narcissistic, paranoid egomaniac (which Napolean, Hitler, and Stalin arguably were)? Was it fate, random chance, or is it a case of the nature of those randomly in power deciding the destiny of all? We'll probably never know.

Thankfully, an increasing number of young people here in Japan start thinking that committing a suicide is one of the most cowardly and irresponsible ways to settle issues. Some older generations still might like the idea of "atonement with death" which might explain why death penalty is still so popular here. But there's a hope for changes for good.

Not everything has to be asynchronous. For example, if your real-time system has to respond in less than 1ms, all you have to do is design a system able to respond in less than 1ms. If your system has to respond in exactly 1ms, you take the previous system (the one able to respond in less than 1ms) and use a 1ms clock/timer/monostable to delay it.

Under the framework of cold rational logic. In what ways could Eich's actions be construed as morally positive without resorting to superstitions and other faulty logic?

You're absolutely right that my ideas are self-serving though. I am neither gay, nor black, nor a descendant of Abraham, but I am a human living in society. As such, I want to live as long as possible, and oppressing people to the point of ingesting cyanide is not going to help grow a scientific community large enough to keep me alive as long as I would like.
As far as I know, this is now the 4th major brand of sous vide wand. I appreciate that sous vide is having a moment, but I really don't see that this adds anything new to the market other than a higher price and a complete lack of physical controls.

Functionally, there is almost no difference between any of the wand models on the market. I've found the features like wireless controls completely gimmicky and unnecessary. So long as the device is accurate enough and powerful enough, it will do everything you want. Grab an Anova for $100 and get started.
You are accurately characterizing a subset of behaviors but I don't think they are characteristic of the movement's day to day operations.
> Now you're just entering the realm of the absurd.

Which is a valid form of argument. He's showing you how absurd what you're saying is if applied literally. You don't get to duck out and claim he's off topic, you need to address his point which is perfectly valid. If intent is all that matters, then a superstitious person who believes voodoo works should according to you be charged with attempted murder; that's the logical outcome of your position, you owe him a real answer.

>> Results surely must play some role.

> The more I think about it I don't think they should.

Murder is very extreme example because it's very easy to kill a human if you decide to do it and even if you fail with a bit of luck things might have played out differently. Also murder is sharp. You can't kill a person just a little.

But consider theft. Someone who stole your insulin pump should be treated differently from someone who took some money or someone who tried to enter your house but couldn't open the lock and gave up. Or consider assault. Trying to hit someone shouldn't be punished same as hitting. I think mostly because you can hit someone to no effect (should be punished somewhat anyway) or you can kill with one hit. You'd have a problem to estimate what was attempted and what the punishment for attempt should be. ... you could have a rule that attempt is punished same as most harmless possible outcome.

...unless you are making a point just about murder and attempted murder. Then I'm inclined to agree that serious attempt and murder should be treated same if you can show that the attempt was to murder not just wound.

At least until we have technology that will make most deaths just temporary nuisances and there will be spectrum of how much you can murder someone.

>> if he was trying to kill you using voodoo magic

>Now you're just entering the realm of the absurd.

You are right. I just wanted to bring into focus some (very small fraction) of murderers that are so stupid that they attempt to use methods that couldn't possibly kill anyone and suggest that as technology progresses there might be more such people.

That's the actual reason we put imprisoned people to death.
There was a case in Australia where an individual consented to intercourse on the basis that their partner would agree to marry them. Afterwards, when the partner refused to get married and the case was taken to court, the court determined this was rape due to the fact consent was only obtained on the basis that they would then be married.
I read the blog post, and all I can think is that I have never, ever, ever thought of using a self-driving car in the way proposed in the blog post. It does seem that fairly simple models for pricing road use (including just taxing vehicle fuel, if the self-driving car uses an engine that burns fuel) would be enough to respond to the hypothetical problem mentioned in the blog post.

You make a nonsense point (nobody is arguing for morality by majority rule) then refute it by pointing out that you have good arguments for advocating a certain morality. Then you make a straw man (nobody is arguing for stifling anybody).

At the core, you seem to agree with me that there are certain actions that we should be intolerant of. Things like murder we should not tolerate forcefully, and things like oppression, we should argue against strongly until they go into effect, in which case, other action is sometimes better.
This is absolutely huge, and it has the potential to benefit a huge proportion of the population, fantastic development!
I think there is a technological path for gradually introducing synchronous design in clocked world: you can give them clocked inputs without problem, and you can gate their output at their worst propagation time without problem either.

I think with such an easy technological path, there is no intrinsic reason not to have them around us, even exposed as clocked systems. If someone told me today that there already are synchronous blocks in a famous silicon chip I would certainly not be surprised.

For example, I'm not a silicon guy so I'm guessing, but adders are generally exposed as one cycle instructions in software, but they still have to propagate the carry on the width of the word, so I guess adders are simply a tree of gate that synchronously propagate and we know the carry propagates faster than the clock tick.
What Einstein and others contributed towards GR in a decade is now generally taught in one semester of grad school physics. Ruling out the possibility that grad students are today >20x intelligent than Einstein, and considering that Einstein needed no more experimental results than already available to everyone in 1905, the emphasis ought not to be as simplistic as "lone genius", but on his perseverance and nose for an interesting problem, enduring all the false twists and turns that exploring one entails.

I believe this is the general trait of who we recognize as great minds.

I really enjoyed both The Trouble With Physics and Not Even Wrong. I don't know enough about String Theory to have a legitimate opinion as to whether it's "right" or not, but I do have deep concerns about the lack of testability. And while I wouldn't go so far as to call for cutting off all funding for anything involving String Theory, I do believe that alternative approaches ( Loop Quantum Gravity, etc.) should continue to be explored and receive funding as well.
I didn't say it was my argument.

>As an academic, you live or die by your funding. (Teaching doesn't matter.)
I think you are mostly right. They work at the fastest speed possible, the power usage is minimized by not doing anything when there is nothing to do. And from not having to propagate a clock signal all over the chip (maybe other reasons as well, I'm not an expert)

If you are interested in real-world numbers, there is a comparison of between a GA144(an asynchronous multi-computer chip) and a MSP430(conventional low-power microprocessor) here: http://www.greenarraychips.com/home/documents/greg/WP003-100...
The GA144 can execute almost 4000x more instructions per second then MSP430 while consuming over 70x less power for the work done.
Another option is a tax on miles driven, or perhaps a higher tax only on miles driven without any passengers. That way, one can ride wherever for free but when sending the car out by itself, it'd cost enough to discourage such behavior. In fact, this latter option is almost a given, IMO, not only to reduce congestion but also energy use (even if the cars are not running on fossil fuels). Some incentives for city parking garages to make them cheaper would also help. There's absolutely no need whatsoever for anyone to send their car back home just to get it parked when there's guaranteed parking within a couple of miles, only a few minutes away for the car.

So its a subjective claim then not something that can be looked quantitatively? There are around 13,000 murders per year in the US, how many of these murders per year result in the wrong person being convicted? I would be surprised if its greater than 4%
> "I'm sorry I offended you" is a perfectly reasonable way to express "I feel bad that you're feeling bad now."

Thank you. The whole subthread confused me mostly about how the word "sorry" in English works.

> it's not about right and wrong, it's simply about expressing the sentiment that you regret what happened as a result of your actions.

Yes, exactly this.
I'm confused by this. Can you explain further or provide a link please?
Salon!? C'mon people. We can do better than this.
I don't know if your meaning to say we should do away with criminal sentencing? I would think your not saying that, but just so no one gets the wrong idea.

For people that commit crimes that are highly disruptive to society, on any level, from assaults to massive ponzi schemes, be these 'not particularly rational' individuals or otherwise, the sentence is a deterrent on the one hand, and on the other hand a deterrent as well, but one with a guarantee, because if they are in jail they are not going to be committing more crimes that are disruptive to society.

So the criminal justice system still serves a purpose. If the prospect of jail, or just the desire to be a good human didn't stop someone from impulsively raping or murdering someone, then they belong in jail where they can't act out their impulsive rapes or murders on society at large.
What if the car is electric? This fuel is really cheap and you can't tax it without taxing everything else.

If there's is shortage of parking spaces you won't even have to tell the car to circle the block while you shop. It will do the same by itself looking for parking spot.

Also if your wife starts work hour later then you do it's just common sense to send the car back so she can use it. Buying another one would be silly if power is cheap.
>They also had to invent a new type of gate – one that switches based on the sum of the number of its input that are at logic 1.

Media might be part of it, but I think it's a little deeper than that, it's an issue with society and norms. I've learned as a scientist a bit more about giving presentations than I thought I ever would, and something I've been told time and time again is that you act with confidence; the smallest hint you might doubt what you're presenting can be damaging to how people will receive your message in the first place. This is a bit general in society, people often equate confidence with truth and accuracy, which is not necessarily a good correlation.

Because of that, scientists are under pressure when presenting to the public to downplay their doubts or not mention particular points they are unsure of. That's why issues in science don't get airplay even though most scientists are aware of issues in their own field.

The reality is that reality is complicated, and people's perception of reality is even more complicated, so it's no surprise that science is a very hairy thing with a tinge of uncertainty at times. However, the outsider's reaction to that is to respond to it with binary reasoning, saying that, "this means they're wrong because it isn't 100% true" instead of how scientists really see is, as "85% true, so,almost right."
No, there aren't.
I would be happy with public figures like CEO’s not personally apologising for the mistakes of their organisation if they also refused to take personal credit for the successes.

actually you would want your system to react at the speed of its input (the world as seen form its point of view), not at the speed of its clock. And if you actually wanted a clock (say for an alarm clock in the morning), you could still input a clock to your system, that wouldn't entitle gating the whole system and having clock domains and that stuff.

I don't think suicide is a proper apology; it makes the world poorer of both a mind an experience learned from the mistake. I can understand if guilt drives someone to take their life, but not when it's cultural pressure that's doing it.

CEO's reaction, on the other hand, is commendable. This is how you're supposed to apologize after a serious fuckup.
Yeah, kind of undecidable, in similar way to nature vs. nurture debate. However, I would say that the case for scientific advancements being "in the air" and nearly inevitable is much stronger than, say, the inevitability of a paranoid egomaniac arising as a leader, rather than a more even-keeled and humane figure. Political action often seems balanced to go either way, for ill or for good, while scientific progress is in comparison mostly in a single direction, onward and upward.
This happens in other futures markets all of the time. The price/month of a long-term lease ends up being a bit more than the price/month of a short-term lease.

The same thing happens in interest rate markets: if you want to borrow money short-term, the interest rate is pretty low; long-term borrowing is scarier for the lender, though, so the rate charged is much higher (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yield_curve).

I might be, or he's total a-hole. But it's more complicated than this. He's 8, spent one year in shelter since everytime someone entered room he was hiding, so no one took him.
