"Furthermore, he was not only a mushroom, but also a radio wave."
You are right. There is no secret sauce. There are no magic bullets. Careful requirements engineering and careful testing is absolutely what you need.

However -- many of these techniques do transfer to the AI field -- albeit with some tweaking and careful thought.

Requirements are still utterly critical. Phrasing the requirements right is important and requires more than a passing thought -- particularly as concerns testability.

A lot of it boils down to requirements that get placed on the training and validation data sets; and the statistical tests that need to be passed: how much data is required and how you can demonstrate that the test data provides sufficient coverage of the operating envelope of the system to give you confidence that you understand how it behaves.

The architecture is critical also -- how the problem is decomposed into safe, testable and understandable subsets -- which has much more to do with how the system is tested than how it solves the primary problem.

It is important for a business to be thinking long-term. As we all know, that is Elon's real strength. But the financials of this deal make little sense to me and many investors view this decision as reckless. Tesla is a cash burning company- they had to do another large capital raise just last month. SolarCity is a cash burning company with considerable debt. When Tesla buys SolarCity they must fund the day to day cash burn and also assume SolarCity's multi-billion dollar long-term debt burden. With the Model 3 ramp-up Tesla already has massive cash requirements. SolarCity will add fuel to the cash bonfire.

Would it be better to treat these enterprises customers' feature requests as Kickstarter stretch goals instead of a separate sales pipeline? If BigCo really wants a feature, and it is a feature all customers could use, maybe let them pay you to implement it and then roll out the feature to everyone.

Some enterprises would still want special attention; you can ignore them. You still have the problem of unstable funding, but that is also true for Kickstarter or even VC type funding.

I tried Erlang years back, but since sampling Elixir, it is going a lot faster for me. I am not a web dev or Rubyist; it's just working out that way for me.

I like Lisp, and came upon LFE, and so I am doing a small task in both LFE [1] and Elixir to see which I prefer. My work is not making huge web sites or the like, so I can afford the luxury of choosing one for fun. I was going to use LFE in a Lisp game jam, and after posting the idea to the LFE Google Groups, an example was made and provided for me ant others using SDL by one of the LFE contributors [2].

I am also working my way through The Handbook of Neuroevolution Through Erlang [3], using LFE. Slowly but surely, but it is a good way to pick up a language, and concepts in the OTP.

I am French, I live in France, and grew up in a large city. I can confirm what he said about kids in some cultures, and it's not limited to the "rural America" the sanfran crowds like to dismiss so much on the internet. I had Indians friends I grew up with as a kid, and they were made to eat meat every time we were going out with the other neighborhood kids because we liked to go to fast foods like Quick (a belgian fast food franchise that's a bit like the European McDo) and there was no decent vegetarian food there, at least when I was a kid, I wouldn't know if they changed their menus because I haven't gone to fast foods for a long time. He had to lie to his parents about not eating hamburgers, they were devout, religious vegetarian hinduists and I have no idea how they'd react if they knew their kids ate beef.

What would have happened if they refused to eat meat with us? They would either have to watch us eat at Quick while growing hungry, or just leave the group altogether.
Seeing our food cultures, I would definitely have hated the very idea of growing in a vegetarian household.
The indian kids could come at our places and order pizza with us, but we never, ever shared a meal at their home.

My parents loved sharing food with our indian neighbors though, despite the fact that my father loved meat, he also enjoyed the food they made and my grandmother often made vegetarian cooking to exchange with them. But that's a whole another story when it comes to kids.

Dominating the Skies and Losing the Wars
I wouldn't be surprised if Assange is found not guilty by the Swedish authorities and then Assange thinks he is free and leaves the embassy (which he plans to do). (I think the US could get Sweden to do that on the promise they have a worse sentence for him.) Meanwhile, the UK suddenly finds the UN's ruling as fair and extradite him to the US. If we're honest, the only reason the UK hasn't so far is because they are worried about the circumstances of doing so. If not for that, they really couldn't care and would probably use the favour with the US at another time.

What's really horrible here is that the UN seems to exist to serve the US agenda. I wonder whether if push come to shove, if other Countries in the UN would get help at all? After all, they turned a blind eye to Ukraine because they didn't want to deal with Russia.

Whilst there are still so many games at play, I think Assange is much better off where he is. I think Assange needs to find some funding from somewhere (shouldn't be too difficult) and upgrade that internet connection. Until all the cards are revealed he's probably going to be there a while.

I believe you're mistaken. There is value in axioms and axiomatic proofs: two different people will most definitively have a different notion of "obvious", and even have a different understanding of a mathematical problem. So a proof may be accepted by one person and rejected by another.

Given a set of axioms and proofs it's possible to mechanically check a proof. It's not quite possible to reliably check proofs otherwise.

The Ultimate Guide to App Marketing
> People willingly paying for a good means they are happy with the purchase

Humans are not homo economicus, and are perfectly capable of feeling unhappy while taking the best option they see, and even being less happy after a voluntary purchase than they were before it. If people feel unhappy after the purchase often enough, some will eventually stop buying the product, and for some of those, no amount of price drop will later convince them to buy again.

Even if there are still enough buyers to buy all of the honey, the loss of goodwill in the community due to the appearance of being willing to extract as much value as possible from each transaction (known colloquially as "gouging") may well raise costs for the honey producer in many other interactions with his community, both financial and other. That goodwill is often worth more to the seller than the maximum additional profit that could be generated by raising the price to the market limit.

I always think that bringing up the price of goods argument is not always the best approach when talking about immigrant labour.

The fact is that in most Western countries (a) the workforce is ageing rapidly, (b) birth rates are low and dropping and (c) young people simply don't want cheap, low skilled jobs.

So people just need to understand that without immigrant labour people aren't going to be able to rely on the quality of the life in the future. More specifically their pension, social security and decent hospitals.

I think the question is about the cultural taxonomy, not the scientific one. For instance, culturally, tomatoes are often a vegetable in the United States, but botanically they're a berry and therefore a fruit. A culture could either treat fungus as in the "plant" category or not in the "plant" category and both would be culturally reasonable.

(It's also an error to claim that it's "wrong" to call a tomato a vegetable. Words have different meanings, and you're in for a lifetime of frustration if you go around insisting that cultures are only permitted to use all words in exactly the way that scientists use them.)

> They just put the hardware from the old console inside the new one.

That's pretty easy to do when you don't switch CPU architectures every generation, and the new chips are (mostly) a faster version of the old ones. Gamecube, Wii, and Wii U all have a PowerPC CPU in them, with an AMD (ATI) GPU.
With generics, yes, like C++ templates: each combination of parameters results in one instance.

However, you can opt into using trait objects instead, which do use virtual calls.
I think part of the problem with this approach is that there are infinitely many hypotheses (due to the infinitely generative nature of language) that are compatible with the behaviour, so to test and refute them all would be impossible. E.g. "only initiate handshakes with your juniors" is compatible with "only initiate handshakes with your juniors who have not been to Mars" etc. This example is silly and may seem trivial, but I think it illustrates the problem of trying to derive a principle or rule simply from observed behaviour.
