In the same way that what I said is pedantic, claiming a moral reason is obvious or self-evident is self-righteous. You are implying that to you there is an obvious moral reason and it should be obvious to the reader what that moral reason is. What I was trying to tell you is that it is not obvious to me.

Even now that you've explained the effect of your moral reasoning, I don't understand what makes this moral (or even a reason). Is it a moral reason when they continue to exploit the situation as it is even though it is unfriendly to their customers and stimulates abuse of the system?

I was a kid, back then, but I'd taught myself programming with the intention of making games. To me, having an idea of all the tricks used to make the virtual worlds come alive really deepened my appreciation for games in general.

Now, with nearly a decade as a professional software engineer split evenly between developing training simulations and AAA video games, I appreciate the craft and behind the scenes stuff more than ever.
Thanks :-) Yeah, I'm with you! This is probably the main driver for me trying this, I want to do everything possible to not make those mistakes. Hoping following the program and posting progress in public will give me the constant reminder to just do the simplest thing possible every day to move closer to shipping!
orthography is not a deep part of language. language has been around much longer than writing systems. it's like what font you use for writing code. it doesn't affect the syntax or semantics of the language.

which isn't to say that orthography (or fonts) aren't interesting.
Software Security: The Buck (Now) Stops with Developers
Apple sued Qualcomm to drop their prices and used Intel to keep them in check. After their settlement/agreement with Qualcomm, they started using Qualcomm and dropped Intel and then Intel quit the smartphone chip business. Now theyre planning to buy Intel's smartphone SoC business for a fraction of the money they would've paid before.

Nice strategy, but its somewhat unethical.
People have also used similar techniques (neural nets) to ‘industrial AI’ in game AI long before as well[1]. It’s also silly in an industrial context to use a more fashionable technique when a less fashionable one will do the job better.

I played the pseudo-sequel (perfect dark) around then (early 2000s-ish?) and enjoyed it. The AI was humorous, but brutal on higher difficulties. I had no coding experience at that time.

A few years after that I got a hold of Unreal/UT and there was a... "pay no attention to that man behind the curtain!" moment when I opened UnrealEd and everything just kind of fell into place. The way videogames were constructed was revealed, and I stopped seeing cool visuals and started seeing static meshes and particle emitters.

I still enjoy modern games, but in a more 'what are they going to going to do with this idea/story' than 'how'd they do that effect?!' sense.
Probably the last true "This is awesome!" videogame moment I had was banking sawblades off the walls of DM-deathfan or whatever the outdoor variant map was called. I suppose spending a day with amnesia would be worth it to experience that again.

Edit: oh, and I should give a shoutout to Unreal 2 here, for what it's worth. It flopped big time in popularity, but still did amazing things in that era, graphically speaking. Seems appropriate the engine evolved to become an industry-standard later on.

This isn’t a fair comparison.

Desktop memory is cheaper, laptop manufacturers are rent seeking with upgrades normally, and with soldered memory they have free reign.

It’s true that often the upgrades are bundled, ie; can’t get 16GiB without an i7. But I think that’s fairly rare at least.

As for 16GiB, there’s a hard limit there for LPDDR3, and intel CPUs do not support LPDDR4 yet.

Oh, and another thing regarding cost, there were some issues a long time ago with the factories producing them, which is why the price is still high, maybe artificially.

Huh. I made the comment about Turing Completeness being "low-bar" from the perspective of Turing tarpits [0] or NAND universality (which needs memory/flip-flops). It seems to be easy enough that languages like Brainfuck can be Turing complete with a handful of elements. So much so that C++ templates or extended regexs seem to accidentally be found to be Turning Complete.

> In any Turing complete language, it is possible to write any computer program, so in a very rigorous sense nearly all programming languages are equally capable.

You seem to have more history on the matter than I do, so let me ask a question instead trying to defend that idea. Why did anyone think Structured Programming wouldn't be? They must have had reasons to suspect it. I also don't know much of the history of Structured Programming apart from "Goto Considered Harmful", so pointers would be great.

Okay, but this is assuming that your body composition does not change and the clothes continue to fit you. Your body is more important to how you look than the clothes you wear, so if you are logical then you place priority on continually improving your body composition.

The most salient factor when buying clothing is how they fit you and your wardrobe. Quality is important insofar as an article of clothing does not distort after a wash (washing properly is also important), but you should expect to discard after a season or two. Buying expensive clothing doesn't make logical or economic sense.

I'm switching frequently between Pigma Micron and Pilot Drawing Pen.

I like the ink of the Micron, overall the feel are similar enough that both are fine for me, but the Pilot simply lasts longer.

I've a set of both, and what I've found is that when unused for a while (despite being neatly capped) the Micron will simply dry out and stop working. I've almost never had this with the Pilot.

For oddball diameters and colors which I use rarely it's a nuisance.

I've been thinking about writing an essay about the flip side for a while, but maybe it only needs to be a toss-off HN comment, so...

In political/economic debates, people like to say: "if you tax something, you get less of it." And in turn "if you subsidize something, you get more of it."

You could think of automation as a labor subsidy. Or, on a rough level, as a tax on attention. That's not strictly correct, but it gets you in the right frame of mind: automation is, among other things, designed the achieve labor with diminished (or even absent) attention.

The problem is that diminished attention can have overlooked tradeoffs. If you know those tradeoffs, you may be able to automate around them. If you're not paying attention, you probably can't. If you've automated away attention, you might not notice until you've hit a problem at the scale of your automation.

Automation is valuable, absolutely. You probably want more of it. I do. And yet...

Neutering is necessary mostly for societal benefit: It prevents stray cats (via catch and release) and/or runaways from creating more cats.

Declawing is necessary mostly for personal benefit: You can't train your cat and therefore it must lose their claws.

GP is right. If aliens don't know about CP violation, there is no way to communicate rotational direction that preserves the absolute direction without some shared reference.

Because CP-violation is actually the only detectable way to discern between right handedness and left handedness. That is, without CPv, we would have no way to know that we aren't in a hypothetical mirror universe with all rotations reversed. Every other physical interaction behaves identically left or right.

So we have a few options to deal with our rotationally-challenged alien friends:

1. Hope they can parse far down enough into the dictionary to understand what CP is and either know it or can test it.

2. Communicate using a shared reference, like pointing out two quasars that rotate relative to each other. (Quasars are pretty good galactic reference points.)

3. As long as it doesn't affect giving directions, just don't worry about it, the physics works out the same. If we ever meet and they try to shake our left hand, well, they get their very own "oops I guess electrons are negative then" situation. "And that, kids, is why you always negate earth-radians before using them in a formula."
I guess not, as this is optimized for defining words, not communicating

Ananas has been tested on production processing terabyte data on a daily basis (with Google Dataflow, but you can achieve the same thing with your own spark cluster too).

In term of exploring large source file, the design principle is to paginate any kind of data that support random access records (for example CSV, logs, etc). So when "exploring the data" of a CSV with 6M rows, Ananas will not load 6M rows at once, but read a few rows at a time for each page. For example, in this early demo video, exploring a 755M CSV file in seconds. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GwqZlhmei78&t=01m00s

It's nothing like it but as a beginner, among the best books I've read about vocabulary are the "Madrigal Magic key to X" series of books by Margarita Madrigal. In it, she breaks down how to convert English words into French, German, etc. If I can recall correctly, here are a few simple examples on French:

1) Words ending with -or: replace the -or with -eur

professor –> professeur, aggressor –> aggreseur

2) Words ending with -ist: just add an e at the end

specialist –> specialiste, artist –> artiste

3) Words ending with -ic: replace it with -ique

romantic –> romantique, fantastic –> fantastique

4) Words ending with -ary: change -ary to -aire

extraordinary –> extraordinaire, solitary –> solitaire

5) Most words ending with -a: replace -a with -e

encyclopedia –> encyclopedie, spatula –> spatule

6) Words that end with, -ine, -ble, -ance, and -ion are also spelled the same way in French.

Capsule networks are attempt to get past the limits of current approach to deep learning. It took 20 years until the the current paradigm in deep learning started to generate results. You start with toy problems and explore.

Distinguishing feature integration from object detection like humans do and how to do it is an open question. It can take another 10-15 years.
