It's a neat experiment for sure, and I agree with others here that the high price that piece fetched was from it being the 'first'.

IMHO, AI-Art will never ever produce the commentary in art that humans can. Depending on the time, medium, patron, subject, artist, etc etc, symbols can make impactful statements in art.

This AI stuff is neat, but it seems like a mash up of other art slammed together to make something new. I think the only commentary that it can make is that it was made by a machine.

In SF, most of the drivers I've met have been commuting from places 1.5-2 hours away to drive in the city all weekend. Is this a good thing? Depends on your point of view.

Certainly the crush of additional cars double-parking in bike lanes, making illegal turns constantly, and driving poorly on unfamiliar streets has reduced the quality of life in SF -- speaking as someone who has lived there for nearly ten years.
Actually yes, it's kinda like a correctional facility, people would be set free in a year or two.
> Today's environment is an abnormality in history (e.g. individuals wanting to be herbivores) created by the excess of food and technological advances we have.

How this is not true of our artificial cities, dwellings, and infrastructure? And what do you mean by "abnormality"? Do you foresee human manipulation of our environment receding toward some less-manipulated baseline? It seems to me that people claiming voluntary herbivorism is "unnatural" (not your word per se) should take a look at everything else around them and realize that human life today is pervasively and inextricably intertwined with the "unnatural", which doesn't seem to cause people to raise any red flags about it.

I don't think it's an "abnormality" so much as a development, just as human civilizations continue to develop.
It's how people would think about it though and it has precedent and mechanisms to implement. (We've changed the dates for DST before, including making it year-round.) Shifting everyone one timezone to the east, by contrast, sounds a lot scarier and would probably be more disruptive.

> moving from spaghetti Python code to well-structured Java

Python code quality is more a consequence of its beginner-friendliness (and subsequent prevalence of inexperienced programmers) than of the language itself. Similarly, the range of Java code I've seen goes from spaghetti within spaghetti (i.e. lack of structuring at both code and class/package level) over to extremely well-structured code
Is it? It suggests that typical Java code is for some reason full of run time type errors which it isn't. Whatever the differences between and respective advantages and disadvantages of Java and C++, runtime type errors are just not a some typical Java problem, let alone one that C++ solves.

XML and readability are orthogonal concepts in the end. Basic html is easily editable and readable by humans. There is nothing preventing them from making an actually human editable XML markup language for maths. And that is the sad part.

As MathML is not human readable nor editable it’s effectively an opaque image format that can be manipulated from JS side and that scales like vector graphics.
These sorts of arguments are sometimes made, that the suspect was technically proficient and thus could manufacture/manipulate lots of evidence to cover his/her tracks. My experience is that it’s rarely justified. Given the repeated pattern of connections alleged by Tufts, it would be difficult not to have trace evidence on the Mac corroborating it. Unfortunately, that evidence is gone — the fact it was conveniently wiped makes it hard for me to be on the student’s side. However, it’s also the case that Tufts did not conduct a worthy forensic investigation.

As an example, macOS maintains a separate, hidden resource fork on every file downloaded via the browser. There’s a corresponding SQLite database of such “quarantined” files, providing some redundancy. I’d be curious about whether the discovered RATs had quarantine entries. I’d also be curious about what the system logs say.
Yup, this is most present in HN arguments. But that must be how lots of people feel but dont express in real life.
To be able to hit a specific part of the asteroid, you either have to wait until it is very close, or you would need very good aim.

Also, there’s beam divergence (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beam_divergence). That has a theoretical lower limit (http://www.aml.engineering.columbia.edu/ntm/level1/ch02/html...). Reading https://www.reddit.com/r/askscience/comments/1ihca9/how_much..., that limit is about 1:3000, so a laser beam is at least 100 km wide at the earth-moon distance.

I guess you would want to start rotating that asteroid way earlier, and that you would want to hit asteroids smaller than that. That makes it practically infeasible (Given infinitely precise aim, you theoretically still would be able to hit it only at one side, by aiming off-target, but that would wasting most of your beam energy)

Also, I am not convinced evaporating the surface by heating it from an angle would significantly impart angular momentum.

This is true, but it is also true, increasingly so, that [accusations of "fear of the other" as being the underlying motive behind those who simply have genuine concerns] is being used as an incredibly effective rhetorical technique to shape people's thinking.

This argument fails the basic economic sniff-test. In such an environment where packaging waste is taxed any business that can figure out cost-effective ways to reduce the waste footprint of their product gains a competitive advantage that they can use to either increase profits or pass on the the consumer to gain market-share.
FWIW, that says more about your relationship with "your" cell phone than its own capabilities.

Protocol wise, a MAC address is fundamentally the choice of the client. And for cloning, they aren't even obscure but printed right on every device.

That this has to be continually re-explained to lawyers unfamiliar with technology, because they see some identifier and immediately assert it's immutable until rebutted, is getting to the root of the real problem here. An ethernet MAC is at best, circumstantial - acceptable for tracking down a lead, but means jack-squat when it comes to proof.

Furthermore, the fact that we're still going over this in a technology forum demonstrates the probable lack of competent diligence done by the school's IT department before presenting their "expert" opinion.

The ones doing basic research today have zero capability to do the development part. So you'd be looking at spending a ton of money to try and develop the needed expertise to bring a molecule all the way to market. Would that also include commercialization - things like marketing?
That’s not even close to being smoking gun evidence. Courts treat all computer evidence as circumstantial, and the key for a forensics expert is to create such a preponderance of it that guilt is the only credulous explanation.

That software has nothing to do with gratitude to archive.org.

Your merge centric workflow is perfectly good and valid. But i think a commit message is still good to capture what's going on in your mind when you checkpoint.

Don't listen to people telling you to squash, either. Git will bite you in the ass when you inevitably mix rewritten branches with non-rewritten ones, it's error prone. And rewriting loses history.
It's not irrelevant. You just see people as groups which is unfortunate.

What you're arguing for is equality of outcome which is impossible. There are billions of factors in a person's life that are constantly changing and you cannot control for them all, or even a small portion. And you definitely can't think of them as groups to get there.

"Thanks Jeff. Yeah, we'll have to see how this plays out, but I'm tentatively calling this one as maybe not a mistake. By leaving IPX support in, there's an extra 198 sectors to copy - but you save 39ms later from reduced install logging, as there's never any IPX check failures from the network infrastructure. He's been playing such a straight-up game here so far, so this is actually quite interesting - we might be seeing hints here of the bolder, gutsier play that he's going to have to bring to the table far more often to later stages. The Plus! installation round in particular is not for the faint-hearted."

I wish there was actually a tvtropes.org-type listing of game mechanics employed in video games. I think the design space isn't that large, and most games tend to reuse the same mechanics which work well. A lot of games use rock-paper-scissor either as primitives, or at a meta level. Does anyone know of any such listing or book which covers important game mechanics? It would be the equivalent of CLRS but for game mechanics.

This particular site is not that, because it's the author's list of novel game mechanics. They aren't particularly fundamental, and have a lot of the biases due to the author's preferences, or trends of the time.

Ugh. I am a person who accepts that government sometimes has an appropriate role in regulating things. Sometimes.

And I am not an unquestioning fanboy of any of the three mentioned companies.

But she seems to be aiming in the wrong direction.

First, we should err on the side of letting markets be free.

But if there is anything that deserves intervention, broadband monopolies are a much bigger problem imho than getting Amazon out of Whole Foods. And even worse, the combination of broadband companies getting control and ownership of content, to the extent that they are no longer dumb pipes, but they become interested in using content to extract top dollar in every scenario, with consumer unfriendly practices like bundling and walled gardens.

The fact that we can't have decent broadband at good prices in the US is, to me, a much bigger problem than Google owning Waze. Or Facebook owning WhatsApp -- which actually seems like a good thing, since it being in house could get Facebook on a faster path to good encryption, assuming their professed interest in that is sincere.

If you want to regulate Google, regulate their privacy practices. If you want to regulate Facebook, regulate the way they enable hidden players to influence elections. If you want to regulate Amazon, well, just keep them out of the broadband business because owning both the pipes and the content is bad for consumers.

So tired of having clueless candidates.

It's worth looking at Project Orion:

"Later studies indicate that the top cruise velocity that can theoretically be achieved are a few percent of the speed of light (0.08–0.1c).[17] An atomic (fission) Orion can achieve perhaps 9%–11% of the speed of light. A nuclear pulse drive starship powered by fusion-antimatter catalyzed nuclear pulse propulsion units would be similarly in the 10% range and pure Matter-antimatter annihilation rockets would be theoretically capable of obtaining a velocity between 50% to 80% of the speed of light. In each case saving fuel for slowing down halves the maximum speed. The concept of using a magnetic sail to decelerate the spacecraft as it approaches its destination has been discussed as an alternative to using propellant; this would allow the ship to travel near the maximum theoretical velocity.[18]

At 0.1c, Orion thermonuclear starships would require a flight time of at least 44 years to reach Alpha Centauri, not counting time needed to reach that speed (about 36 days at constant acceleration of 1g or 9.8 m/s2). At 0.1c, an Orion starship would require 100 years to travel 10 light years. The astronomer Carl Sagan suggested that this would be an excellent use for current stockpiles of nuclear weapons"

What you are missing is that you seem to think that because the US is organised in a particular fashion, that is the only valid organisational structure. The EU is organised differently, and it and its member countries are perfectly within their rights to organise themselves in this fashion.

If you find that difficult, just rephrase "the EU has" into "the EU member states have". So: the EU member states have decided on collective visa measures.

There are a lot of numbers from my past that are still committed to my memory too, even though I haven't used them in years. Old telephone numbers, bank account numbers, long-distance calling card numbers (back when a long-distance phone call was a thing you actually paid for). It's weird.
For me, dispatching refers to a very specific piece of the CPU micro-architecture, by far not the most complex or largest area. So by focusing on "dispatching", you make it sound like the overhead is small. Maybe you meant to use another word.

My point stands that from a silicon area perspective, 99% of the CPU is overhead when all you need is a fixed function.

Based on your background, I know you know that. A lot of details in the article show that you know what you are talking about and have specific use cases in mind. I can guess those and for those the article is correct.

This proposal is strategic. We are currently in the run up to the primaries. In the general election, she would lose if she stuck to such a platform. But in the primaries, she is only competing for Democratic votes. With the rise of AOC and others like her, the evidence shows that anti-capitalist ideas are playing well among Democrats.

So the Democratic primaries in today’s environment are a race to the far edges of the left, and this seems like a reasonable strategy to win that race. She would have to use a different strategy in the general election, and my guess is she will quietly abandon this platform if she wins the nomination.
