This is very likely useless. Prior art has to be an "enabling disclosure" - which isn't the same as the 112 enablement requirement but it does requires that the public is "in possession" of the invention. This algorithm just makes short phrases or maybe a sentence or two that make sense together. It is unlikely that this is enough to put the public "in possession" of anything. There are problems to be solved in the patent system, but this is not a solution to any of them. See http://www.uspto.gov/web/offices/pac/mpep/s2121.html

edit: so apparently this guy is an 'artist' so maybe this isn't meant to be taken seriously. Perhaps its just a commentary on the absurdity of the patent system. If that's the goal, then cool, I think he's made a point.

As a paid-up Yes/SNP supporter with a little familiarity with NI, I think it's a really bad idea to compare the two situations.

The Troubles were not about having a "resolution", and indeed having a referendum within the Six Counties would have produced a result for staying in the UK. The troubles were about discrimination and violence: both street violence and state violence. The solution involved the reform of the RUC and the imposition of human rights law and anti-discrimination law.

Whereas the Scottish question has not been characterised by any significant level of violence on either side of the politics - there's a bit of it around the Old Firm, but it doesn't pervade public life in anything like the same way. Scotland got its first devo referendum in '79, albeit sabotaged by the turnout requirement.
Consciousness does not have external signs; I have not a slightest idea what it means "act like you're conscious"; a paralyzed person is conscious after all. The only reason to believe that humans (aside of myself, obviously) are conscious is that all humans share structural similarity with me.

I'll add to this that it's precisely when values change over time that you want immutability most.

Because when dealing with time, you get a lot of non-determinism when modifying values in variables. This happens because the ordering of non-commutative operations is important, mutable things have identity because their "value" changes with the history of those operations and so with variables and mutable data-structures it gets very hard to reproduce a certain state or to reason about the sequence of events. So in case of errors, it's hard to reproduce a bug or to reason about what ordering you had. Note this isn't to say that operation ordering issues won't happen with immutable data-structures and values - it can happen of course, though having values and pure functions in that chain will make it easier to debug.

But then if you introduce concurrency by multi-threading in the mix, that's when the shit really hits the fan. Because then you have to guarantee a certain ordering and you do that by concurrency primitives, most commonly by intrinsic locks and for one dealing with this stuff is really hard and non-intuitive and also locks are not composable and in general a bottleneck (Amdahl's law ftw). This is why people end up using `Future` and actors and other higher level abstractions for dealing with concurrency, because they make it easier to reason about ordering. But for those that ever worked with Erlang, the "receive" function of actors is meant to be pure, instead of modifying mutable variables, like people normally do in Akka. And in Akka you can work like in Erlang (e.g. context.become), but people rarely do that. And of course, you then get the most horrible mutation known in the software industry, because in addition to having shared mutable state, you're now also dealing with asynchronous message passing on top of that.

As a final word: having the ability to mutate is having power and when mutating variables you're using that power. Sometimes it's necessary, sometimes it's convenient, but many times it's more power than you need. You don't get the luxury of mutability when dealing with accounting for example ;-)
Maybe he's just generalizing in the same way you are? ;-)
UK's Daily Mail in early talks over bid for Yahoo
Your point is not arguing with the article however.

The article is not about how hot people find eternal stable relationships, but how they have more chances to get into relationships.

That you noticed them often break an older relationship and get into a new one corroborates the article, doesn't negate it.

And if we take away the stigma of divorce, which is supposed to mean some kind of personal failure, that's good for them.

It could also entail "ugly" people also wanting to divorce/play around more, but as they fear not having the same chances, they play it safe (and miserably).

So, yeah, it might not be that a less attractive person will "know no one ever" (absolute), but it will probably be that they'll have limited chances to get to know other people, and when they do, they'll tend to stick with them.
Absolutely, I actually don't send messages to anyone who hasn't filled in their profile, a nice looking picture tells me nothing about them as a person.
Ireland != Scotland; there's no Scottish Bobby Sands and no Scottish Easter Rising. The sectarianism maps differently too. The Scottish independence movement is largely secular.
I don't think the deep sectarian divide in Northern Ireland can be dismissed as a 'detail'. It makes the situation over there fundamentally different from that in Scotland.

For Scotland you can pretty much talk about the Scottish people as a more or less unitary group. The devolution referendum was decided based on debate and argument. Sure there was a strong nationalist component of it, but that didn't completely override all other factors. It was just one of many important factors, and you can't argue that someone to voted Yes or No is clearly more or less Scottish then the other. Factors other than national identity play important roles. For example if the UK votes to leave the EU, that will likely play a decisive role in many Scots switching to prefer independence so they can stay in the EU.

When talking about the situation in Northern Ireland, you can't really talk about 'The Irish' as a group the way you do in your post. A vote on devolution there would have nothing to do with debate or weighing of pros and cons. Staying in the EU or not would be a footnote. Any such vote would be a straight down the line sectarian census.
Well, I met most of my partners RL.

I have specific tastes and somehow I'm bad in writing people on dating sites the "first message".

The only people I met from dating sites wrote me first.

Also, many people look different on photos than in RL.

And some people are only attractive after I talked to them in person for a while.

I still like online dating websites. I find about one person a year online, that I like. Most of those won't become serious relationships, but it's nice to meet new people from outside my filter bubble once in a while.
Yes we've been thinking about this as well. On the one hand, it's not being able to get the .com domain as well as the fact that people might confuse it with the Yoga festival you linked to (although we're primarily focused on Europe, at least initially, and the festival is US only). On the other hand, the word perfectly captures the essence of our solution. 'Wanderlust' means 'a strong desire to travel' which is exactly the feeling that we mean to associate ourselves with -- the feeling of knowing that you'd like to get away for a few days, but not knowing where to go. And thank you!

>But falling in love at work or based on a long social relationship is not suddenly going to stop happening because of Tinder.

Well, I'm looking at the chart included in the article that shows all of those means of meeting someone in free-fall, while meeting people online rises exponentially. That data comes from the linked study:

http://asr.sagepub.com/content/77/4/523

So, where is your data that this drastic shift isn't actually happening?
Why can't YouTube make African short films easily discovered? They have lots of data about their users, including location and past viewing history.
>> He or she is charging an absolute amount, not a percentage of their payslip.

Here's another analogy. I make this beautiful and unique item that you want to buy. I charge - literally - an arm and a leg over it. Like, the actual body parts.

You protest: "You're asking for a part of my body??". I reply "I'm asking for an arm and a leg, not a part of your body". Hey, maybe you can pay me with someone else's arm-and-a-leg, right?

That is how absurd it is to say what you just said.

>> There is no coercion here.

Yeah, there totally is. It's the same kind of coercion the Mafia employes. "You don't want to pay us to protect your establishment? Well, fine, but then something may happen to it".

You don't want to pay 70% of your income to stay at my dirty, dilapidated hovel? That's fine, but then you might find yourself homeless.

The tactics are similar because the mindset is similar. Pay up or else. It's exactly how it works and it's precisely why it's coercive and morally repugnant.

More to the point: I find it morally repugnant because I don't have to pay 70% of my income to stay at a trailer, and I make probably 70 times more than the people who are forced to live there. There is no excuse for that. If I payed 70% of my income to live in a shithole, then I would think, OK, that's how it goes. That's life, see?

Except, it's not. I know it's quite easy to get a much better deal, as I got. If someone forced me to live in such conditions, I'd be up in arms. Therefore, I also do mind a lot that other people are living in such conditions.

I remember another study (but cannot find it) that women are more influenced by their peers opinion than men. Weird that this does not lead to more homogenous preferences.

TheNextPlatform is a pretty bad site. They rehash - badly - information available elsewhere, and add a hyperactive spin on it all.

Here's the truth:

Google uses lots of compute power (insightful!)

Google isn't shifting to Power.

Google does have an active R&D program looking at Power.

TheNextPlatform misses the whole point here: That Zaius board has 32 DDR4 slots (commercially available servers from eg Dell max out at 24) and it has 2 NVLINK slots! (!!)

Those NVLINK slots are what Intel should be worried about, because that's where Google is prepared to pay money. They are building computers that lock themselves into NVidia and doing it gladly.

Intel better find a way to compete with NVidia on deep learning.
Well, it's not that simple, because there are men like Clooney and DiCaprio in "everyday" life too, who don't have wealth and status, but who do get most of the women swoon for them...

> It's like saying "my neurons aren't conscious therefore I am not conscious", which is clearly not the case.

You need to read Searle's works again; his point is actually the opposite - we are machines made out of biological neurons, which seem to have an externally unobservable property of being conscious; we do not know what it is caused by, but we can see today that it is possible to create a simulation of human behavior by means of logical gates. We have no idea if it will have mind or not.

> We're made of matter, computers are made of matter, where is the difference?

That's an odd argument. And actually does not contradict Searle at all.

Since there are two sides to the transaction, the number of people marrying more attractive people is exactly equal to the number marrying less attractive people.
The US upper class tends to be liberal on social issues (e.g. gay marriage), but hawkish on foreign policy, especially as regards the middle east.

Media content aligns with the political views of media owners. You can see this clearly at work now when 'progressive' US companies threaten to boycott North Carolina over a ridiculously minor issue to do with who should use what kind of toilet, but are happily trading with Saudi Arabia, one of the world's most repressive regimes.

Adding 2 and 2 together gives an indication why the NYT, like most other US mainstream media, cheerled the second Iraq war.
I agree, I think this part makes it clear: except as modified by the unknown factors mentioned previously.

Although this is quite contradicting:

5.1.2.3. p4: In the abstract machine, all expressions are evaluated as specified by the semantics. An
actual implementation need not evaluate part of an expression if it can deduce that its
value is not used and that no needed side effects are produced (including any caused by calling a function or accessing a volatile object)
The Ubuntu packages seem quite out of date.
Cool concept as art, but is basically a patent version of infinite monkeys on typewriters hoping to write Shakespeare.

That said, with a bit of guideance such as learning/ feedback and/or being routed around an initial framework (perhaps TRIZ or similar https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TRIZ), there could be a much higher signal-to-noise ratio. I've seen other attempts at invention through AI or algorithm - as dmritard says, the key to useful invention isn't generation, its filtering the noise.

Although as others have said, I doubt this would be admissable in court. Randomly generated 'claims' remain random: one could say in an infinite, random universe, surely every invention has already been created simply by matter composing itself in the approprieate way.
That's nice, but a bit off topic for the original site.
That is what I'm wondering about, too. Not only how the external relationship between this "hivemind" and those that are not a part of it would look like, but especially what kind of effect this would have on the human brain.

Is the plasticity of the brain sufficient to adapt to these new "senses"? What is the perceptual relationship between the content of the message and the modulation? And what happens to consciousness, when two or more brains are closer and closer connected? One fascinating case is that of craniopagus twins, conjoined at the head. From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Craniopagus_twins

"when Krista started drinking her juice Tatiana felt it physically going through her body."

The hard problem of consciousness is still elusive. I recently found http://integratedinformationtheory.org/, which takes an axiomatic approach, but estimating the effects for large networks seems to be too difficult as of now.

For whatever reason, in the U.S. at least, "Asian" means "East Asian" (or for older folks, "Oriental Asia") and there's various other terms for different parts of Asia that don't fall under that umbrella. India is usually considered its own thing, all the "-stans" get grouped under "Central Asia" and the rest is either "Middle Eastern" or "Russian".

I don't know of any Central Asian restaurants, but there's tons of Kabob places.

Asia is a big place.
Just because funniness is correlative doesn't mean its not causal. Sometimes jokes can open someone up to another, and keep them interested. Just like any other social interaction.

Many male models have huge or badly broken noses (see Stone Island campaigns for the latter). They're still considered handsome. I guy who lived on my street has an extraordinary long face, and he's a now D&G model.

Exercising and having good skin puts you in front of 90% of men. I'd agree algorithm might say smaller noses are, on the whole, more handsome, but you can still be considered handsome having a huge nose.

The Art of Publishing Engaging Curated Newsletters
Right, much more work for little gain for the developer.

Then you have a bunch of developers all taking the easy way. And now all the system administrators running systems with those projects can't trust their packaging tools anymore, and have to do a lot more work in their daily workflow.

Oh, and as a bonus, none of these systems have a secure update mechanism, so you've bypassed the inherent code whitelisting that comes with a system package manager with a centralised repository and a requirement for strong package signatures. At best, they do like PyPi and optionally allow a developer to specify a GPG key. So you have to do "pip install <bla>" and pray to the computer god that the developer of <bla> and all the developers of all its dependencies cared about code integrity and set up GPG keys. From experience, the chances of that are approximately 0%, because it's not a requirement.
