I think this research is the missing part of the puzzle of constructing truly intelligent (even sentient) artificial life.

We can't do it the way evolution did it because evolution does not work on individuals and we don't have enough computing power to simulate whole population of artificial human sized brains and let them figure out on their own that they should maximize their available useful resources while still reproducing and evolving towards better architecture. That would lead to intelligence same way real evolution reached it but we neither have power nor time for that. Besides, even if we succeeded ... do we really want to share the world with thousands AI-s all trying to maximize useful resources available to them? Competition breeds innovation but also breeds war.

If you design AI and give it a specific goal you never get intelligence, you are just getting useful machine that achieves the goal brilliantly. With this discovery we finally know how to set the goal to be "act intelligent"

If you artificially set the goal to be to maximize the possible futures that the AI can make real from the present point we can get entity that behaves in a way we recognize as intelligent.

We just have to remember to be really sure that this AI models world correctly enough to know that more potential futures could be realized by keeping animals (including humans) around and ... you now ... not make them suffer.
What you can do with the Gimp
So far they only implemented "binary literals" which is based on a GCC extension that they were supporting already. But good to see that the compiler vendors are going forward. GCC already supports "Return type deduction for normal functions".

I think it's a bit of a weird question and difficult to provide a comparison. Joomla is a full-featured CMS written in PHP, CodeIgniter is a PHP framework to build your own web applications.

PHP is basically the thing they have in common, from there on out their roads diverge.

There's also a bunch of other frameworks like Symphony2, Kohana or if you want to go a bit more hard core, PhalconPHP (which is a PHP framework compiled to a C-extension).

The question you should be asking is what do you want to do? Do you just want to spend hours coding to replicate some sort of CMS in another PHP framework? Do you want to build your own custom PHP applications? Or do you just want to host a site but are you tired of Joomla?
@klipt:
Reproduction is not a goal. It's requirement of the physical system. There would be no evolution without reproduction.
Good to hear. When you talk to the counselor, they may give you some ideas on coping strategies - making lists, using calendars to remember all your appointments, etc. You most likely do them already to have gotten this far in your academic career, but if you don't make sure to put effort into making them part of your routine (whether you decide to go the meds route or not).
Also, a verlet-based physics engine is a very different beast compared to a rigid-body one (a few in the list above are also based on verlet, but not most).
Maybe this comment is off-topic here but I can't help but feel that Watsi is in a way making all these individuals "compete" in terms of who is more likable, or whose situation is the worst, in order for them to get the help they need. Maybe I'm exaggerating but this model really troubles me.

Ask HN: Any Advice for Hackers/Founders with ADD/ADHD?
There was an amazingly helpful conversation going on here late last night about the unique challenges people with ADD run into trying to study computer science and found startups: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5579931

For some reason the article (by a 2nd year CompSci student who diagnosed himself with ADD) was flagged after an hour or so, so I wanted to create an Ask HN thread where at least the discussion could continue, and also to point out the original article and discussion for any HNers who are suffering from ADD.
I can simplify this entire thread for you. Everyone who has struggled with this says "see a specialist, get diagnosed, take action". That action can be a range of things, but first and foremost, talk to a specialist.

I'd argue that there are a few aspects of providing products and services for the web that are unique and not relevant to offline software development.

For example, scalability. Most of Apple's problems in this domain have been associated with scaling. iTMS and the App Store both scaled very well over time, but you have to consider the size of their audiences at launch. iTMS launched to a relatively small market of Mac and iPod users. The App Store launched to a relatively small market of iPhone users. Now that both the OS X and iOS user bases are significantly larger, Apple has struggled immensely to launch web services.

When developing for the web, your job is not done until you've released your product into the wild and figured out where the bottlenecks and weak points are with a massive user base. Apple's culture of secrecy doesn't facilitate this part of the process. Until that changes, they will be taking a huge gamble every time the release a new web service or improve an existing one. And, as with iClouds Core Data woes, developers who depend on these services are beginning to lose patience with Apple. This should be a major concern but it appears, from the outside looking in, that it isn't.
The author admits a valid case for eschewing miranda rights within the first paragraph. You can't make an argument for a constitutional right and say 'oh wait but there is an exception. and by the way this one might meet it.'
Why do you need my real name, facebook profile picture, gender, networks, facebook user id, list of facebook friends, and birthday for me to play this game?
2700 servers probably wouldn't be worth much for that. It would be noticed fairly quickly, given that only CPU mining would be available, and how monitored servers usually are.
How about you realise you don't suffer from a made up disease and get on with your life?
I have an app in the iOS photography category ranked about 100 in sales on iPhone and iPad. My monthly sales are $6000.00 US (after apple's cut) selling for 2.99. Not bad, I'm happy and all, but it's disappointing to think that there are only 100 developers in the photography category making more than 6000.00/mo (assuming that they have only one app)

The user interface that iTunes provides on the phone, tablet and desktop is super clunky and slow for exploring apps. Click, wait, click, wait. etc. Why no tabbed browsing so users can load and look at 50 app descriptions in the background?
But what are the 'actual damages' in this case, it would be hard to argue a monetary damage to Stack Exchange. So the most you could 'win' from CipherCloud for their abuse would be your legal costs. Hard to justify taking that action.
I guess the logic is to make it easy to connect with a list of friends and be able to play against 'real' people. I do think it makes sense to allow simple registration or anonymous type play, we'll probably add that as we get time.

does the birthday make it more awkward? We thought about removing that permission..
Ideally it should be any of the major web sign on methods (fb, google, twitter, linked-in) Github would be cool though. Maybe if we get some time we'll hack that together.
No. They have those rights whether or not the police remembers to verbally inform the suspect.
The suspect has every right to remain silent and every right to an attorney, even if the officer detaining him chooses not to remind him about it.

Ghostery reminds me that this site runs Google Analytics, so the site founders apparently do trust Google for some services.
The idea is that these models could be extended to really big complex problems with the same basic principle. Therefore, it seems that intelligence of arbitrary complexity can be achieved with these algorithms.

I don't think that claim is very bold at all, it is merely an observation. The idea that the algorithm tries to maintain entropy is very much like life as we know it. Life as we know it are mechanisms that despite the continuous dissipation of entropy in the universe around it try to achieve local points of high entropy and sustain those.

In less intelligent animals, the mechanism to resist entropy loss is defined genetically. They can not adapt to new environments because their decision making is rigidly defined in their genes. (i.e. they are like simple computer programs)

In more intelligent animals, like ourselves, instead of deriving our decisions (mainly) from our genes, we derive them from an organ (whose design is derived from genes) we call the brain (I've heard there's more decision making organs). Separating the decision making from the the dna is what makes us so highly adaptable to new environments.

There our likeness to this algorithm lies, like us this algorithm can sustain its entropy no matter what the environment is (as long as its got the tools to do so).

Not all therapy is talk therapy - I thought I needed that, but had similar reservations about how open I could be face to face. When I finally bit the bullet I ended up in most-self-directed CBT, with none of that recounting-childhood-trauma or what have you. It was very pragmatic, more about giving me processes to deal with things, than me telling the psych things and them telling me how to deal with them.

If you use Multipath TCP with a single interface through a router, it will behave like regular TCP (doing NewReno congestion control scheme)
The only sensible metric on that website is ‘Road fatalities per 1 billion vehicle-km’, and even that doesn’t take into account different degrees of occupancy of vehicles in different countries.

All countries you named are not ranked by this metric, and of those ranked, underdeveloped countries (Arabian, Brazil, Eastern Europe etc.) rank worse than highly-developed ones. Note furthermore that the US rank relatively high compared to other countries of similar population density and geographical size[0], yet surprisingly worse than most other equally wealthy (and comparable in population density and size) countries.

[0] Were the most important difference is between being slightly larger than Switzerland and being about the same size or smaller.
Why should I need to sign in at all? Why not give the option to play as a guest?
An important difference between using Multipath TCP versus other techniques for 3G/WiFi offload is that Multipath TCP would be a completely end-to-end solution. The handover is entirely controlled by the smartphone and does not require any cooperation from the network. Existing 3G/WiFi offload techniques assume that the network operator controls both the WiFi and the 3G network. This is sometimes the case, but even if your 3G provider as several WiFi access points, there are probably many more access points that are not controlled by the 3G operator and that Multipath TCP would enable you to use.
The Story Of My Second Marathon
Of course a workplace can do that - by encouraging a philosophy of work/life balance, and by encouraging their line managers to actively pursue this. Do you think workplaces just let their line managers roam free, with no guidance?

There is a lot of active effort in my field (consultant engineering) to manage the true productivity and quality output of individuals, because managing this irresponsibly introduces an unacceptable level of risk to projects.

That this (apparently) hasn't made great inroads into software development is another indicator of the field's immaturity and lack of liability. Because there are no serious consequences for shipping faulty software (outside of a very few fields such as industrial automation), companies are not required to care about things like employee happiness or productivity over time, and this is reflected in stories such as this.

The best comments in this thread have advocated a personal, proactive approach to managing your work/life balance. This is true of almost everything about work - career development, training, raises, opportunities, etc etc.
Weird, I know we didn't put any restrictions on the web front end to do that but the backend should reject the setup. I'll have to look through and figure out why it's not rejecting it.. thanks for pointing it out though!

Exactly. With Multipath TCP, a single TCP connection can benefit from multiple interfaces, which is not the case with bonding techniques. See http://multipath-tcp.org/pmwiki.php?n=Main.50Gbps for measurements showing Multipath TCP aggregating 6 10 Gbps interfaces.
your wrong about #2 in CA this is not the case however your employer is allowed to ask very specific questions about your reason for leave ( but most certainly not your specific illness or diagnoses) however these questions should be answered by a Dr and they are well trained in not giving up any compromising information.

IF your having serious trouble call your local mental hospital ( Stanford is world class they deal with this sort of thing all the time and there staff knows how to help you communicate with work.)

FYI :If you get fired while in the hospital or on leave without cause you have great grounds for a lawsuit ( plenty of lawyers will take these kinds of cases )
I think you've already disclosed it a few years ago. It's already a mature app for all I can see.
You should let players save starting configurations so games can get going faster once a matchup is made. I'm now waiting for my buddy to set up. Alternatively don't start looking for players to match me with until I have finished set up. Either way I really really want to start playing and I really really don't want to wait for the other player to get ready.

EDIT: Aaaand when I refresh the page it seems like everything is gone.

EDIT 2: There should be a way to return to my list of games from the game screen.

EDIT 3: I notice there is a way - you click the top bar - but it should explicit, you have the space to include a back button on the side anyway. I also am unclear on how to remove the position of a ship I've already placed, and the error messages need to be polished a little. "You have placed too many lage_ship ships" isn't super user friendly.

Where are you folks located? Interesting time to post :)
I think some tradeoff could also be reasonable: throwing part of the evidences in the name of public safety.
You could interrogate someone in an emergency situation and not use the declaration or anything coming from his declaration later in court. And only use material evidence found before. As far as I know, here they already have strong evidence against the guy, now is time for due process and trial.
Congrats, search my name and satisfied with the results,
Bitcoin is a currency and currency is a medium to exchange goods, there is no value in a currency if it not used as a medium. The VC know this better than anybody else. When they are investing in bitcoin related companies it means they are betting on the fact that bitcoin as a currency will gain traction. Bitcoin is not an investment to be invested. This article has been written not knowing the basic premise behind bitcoin. Thankfully the VC's are not like that.

In the grand scheme of things, however, this will be a lot cheaper than conventional advertising.

This is not a bad thing for anyone, as they are currently sponsoring e-sports in a "big" way, and have done so for well over a decade now. I may no longer use or appreciate their gear the way I used to, but they definitely stand by their demographic. Definitely an ace move in by Razer here, in every regard.

Is it the output of a formula?
I would like to hear your stories :)
Because it comes down to balancing rights, and determining which ones are absolute, and how we weight other rights in relation to each other.

So the right to a family life (to use the EU term) is held to be very important, and thus the bar to sterilisation/removing children is really high. The right to use a phone whilst driving on a publicly maintained road is not. Especially as the public's right not to have a 1 ton+ vehicle travelling at speed driving in an impaired fashion is quite important.

Plus it is about mitigating harms. Handsfree kits are allowed for example.

The exact thing happens in this case. His right to be silent or have a lawyer present is not infringed. His right to be informed whilst being asked questions relating to public safety about future threats is being infringed, because society shouldn't have to choose between future potential victims and prosecuting an individual for crimes already committed.
I agree with one exception: if you're storing the value passed down into a structure which will survive the call, then the value should be checked for null before being placed in the structure. This is because the eventual null pointer exception may occur long after it was put in the structure, obscuring how it got there.

So far it seems as if facebook connect is a huge fail, even from the early analytics, it seems like a guest option or a way to register w/o facebook is key. I think we'll be adding that as quick as possible! :)
Forget about Facebook, it takes weeks before someone responds to game request and response is usually "Deny request and block app" in best cases and "Unfriend" in others.
ICFP 2006 and The Cult of the Bound Variable
On the not showing up after refresh, 2 more quick notes. First, after I've completed setup games in my game list still show up as action:setup. It should say something like waiting for opponent. Second, when I select a game where I have completed setup, even though the game confirms I am waiting on my opponent I can't see any of my ships. So a refresh AND exiting+reentering a game wipe my view of my ships.
C++11 (and C++03) do not include lots of C99 features. For example, C++03/11 do not contain variable length arrays (one of the C99 features people often want).
Absolutely lovely way of saving space. But we're blurring the line between browser and content now, and this is going to confuse less technologically gifted people if not done properly.

Furthermore, are other sites able to use this feature as well?

I'm personally worried that the current trend of browsers deviating far from a "standard" look will create problems for those who are not as prone to tinkering as we are. For them, things seemingly disappear and (re-?)appear at random and apart from the back button and the address bar there's really not much in the way of consistency anymore.

Even Explorer windows in Windows do this by hiding the menu bar unless you press Alt. It's not intuitive; "our kind" is very much an exception with our ability to find these things after the fact.
