"Yes, which is why I emphasized membership in a genetic cohort. But think about that cohort -- being a human distinguishes you from the cockroaches competing for the same resources. So if you only taught people how to kill cockroaches and nothing else, you would have contributed to the fitness of the human genotype."

From a selection perspective, the only meaningful way to be "members of your genetic cohort" is to have a differentially higher chance of possessing the gene in question.

From the point of view of a newly-mutated-and-unique gene-to-help, there is no difference between cockroaches and humans by virtue of their genomes alone. (Humans are, of course, more likely to be of help - and also more likely to be in direct competition - all of which have tremendous ramifications... but not in a different sense than any other feature of the environment).

Edited to add:

In a limited population, of course, it quickly follows that competing alleles are genuinely competing. In a population that is able to grow fast enough indefinitely, I am not at all confident that that continues to hold. I am not sure where humanity falls on that spectrum (if spectrum there be, rather than point) - but my understanding of your position is that you'd prefer we more approximate the former than the latter anyway (the latter being plausibly impossible anyway).

And that is the best algorithm they could devise for the robots to self-arrange? It looks like they thought about it for five minutes, and then somehow managed to get published in one of the premiere science journals---and what they did has nothing to do with science, it is an engineering problem.
I think extended isolation could lead to sensory numbness, which I imagine could get pretty close to sensory deprivation.

There is also the story about Ellen MacArthur mentioned in the article. Isolation from civilization, in this case complete solitude, leads her to anthropomorphise her boat.

> The hallucinations are perhaps related to the mechanism which produces dreams, and not evidence that you're going bonkers.

As the article mentions, hallucinations would be a way to not go bonkers. Humans need to be around other humans, and if that can't happen, we'll make them up.

Completely subjective supposition - I see hallucinations as being, in some cases, extreme forms of delusions. IIRC, I believe there has been a fair amount of research done on delusion (like this one [1] I suppose), suggesting delusion could be a survival mechanism, similar to what is described in the article.

Yeah, truly interactive editing and incremental updates are something that srclib doesn't handle right now. We have some plans/prototypes around using presentation compilers, lenient parsers, and a persistent "src" process to provide the same kind of interactive editing support that IDEs have, but there's nothing in srclib or any of the language analysis toolchains yet. We are /pretty/ sure it'll be possible to get the kind of responsiveness you'd want.

If you have time to take a look at how we've implemented the existing toolchains and architecture, it'd be awesome if you wrote down any suggestions you have for how we could implement interactive code assist.

Re: the name "srclib", I was on the phone with our domain registrar when we got srclib.org/com, and the rep referred to it as "Sr. Clib" (as in "Señor Clib"). So that's stuck in our heads now. :)
Not as simple as that. You want to find the ultimate beneficiary and that can be hidden behind numerous layers.

E.g. I set up a trust and appoint a law firm to handle my affairs (I can already hide behind client attorney confidentiality). My lawyer sets up an offshore company and appoints nominee officers. That company sets up another offshore corporation in another jurisdiction again with nominee officers. Etc.

To get back to me you would have to find company information, find who those nominee officers represent (which would require international warrants) and follow the trail. Rinse and repeat until you eventually get to my lawyer who still has few ways of preventing you finding my name.

And you can do many more layers of hiding than the three illustrated here
Which part of the process are you interested in-
-executing in z80?
-using the sounds?
-using the graphics?
-etc?

if the latter three, why not write in those languages and use an API to interface to the drivers for those peripherals?
1. Make it yourself

2. Use free assets

3. Find an artist for hire

4. Maybe www.reddit.com/r/gameDevClassifieds/ will have some artists willing do do some work for free. Free assets also occasionally get posted to www.reddit.com/r/gamedev so check there.
I'm sure you know this, but for anyone who is new to Unity, one thing that helps a tiny bit is to open the Edit/Project Settings/Editor panel and change the Asset Serialization Mode to Force Text. Then your .unity scene files and such will be text files instead of binary. Whenever I start a new Unity project I flip this setting right away and save the empty project with text assets as the first commit.

This won't solve the problem at all - the asset files are still fairly inscrutable and the slightest change in the editor can result in all kinds of seemingly unrelated changes - but at least you'll have text diffs instead of huge binary files in the repo.

For people that you _might_ forget it should be pretty easy to summarize in a sentence or two. Two sentences should easily cover when, where, and why you met. Throw in common contacts and you're good to go. Obviously these same two sentences might not encapsulate why your wife is important to you, but, really, you aren't quite likely to forget that either.

I'm pretty firm in my belief that one of the great marketing moves of the 21st century is convincing people that email is not a social network. It's almost on par with making people believe that diamonds are romantic and a necessary part of the marriage ritual.

I think this has been helped by the general lack of innovation in the email space. From pretty basic mail, we ended up with a few (very surprisingly few) email clients and very little advancement on the original theme outside of html formatting and huge inboxes.

Lots of people dump on Microsoft, but one of the huge upsides of exchange is the tight integration of mail and calendar. From a conversation you can immediately schedule actions. Invites are even sent out over SMTP if I'm not mistaken. Getting a calendar to integrate well with gmail was one of the major accomplishments of web-based email, yet it seems like repeating this anywhere else is an accomplishment comparable to discovering cold fusion.

There's also been pitifully little work done in improving the experience of managing email and calendar servers. Managing spam is still a tremendous problem and all this adds up to most places, if they aren't using Exchange, just buying corporate Outlook.com or gmail accounts for their employees.

The problem of course is that for any serious advancement to really work, everybody (both client and server) have to move to support the advancement.

But one lesson to be learned from Facebook and G+ is that email can be replaced by an easier to use and friendlier system. There's a possibility of disruption, but it's obviously not in anybody's particular interest to keep reinventing email+otherstuff in this kind of highly centralized way. If Facebook goes down, there goes a huge chunk of the global communication system. At least with email I can be pretty sure my message is going to arrive at the destination at some point.

Another lesson to be learned is that social networks like Facebook are actually just a combination and integration of two (or three) common things that used to be all over the web: a personal website and email. You get a profile (which does a good enough approximation of the personal homepages of the web 1.0 days but actually a bit more like ) and people can message you (and more recently IM you). Basically a global presence you don't have to put much effort into to manage and a way to contact you. More importantly Facebook offers you various levels of control over who can see your presence and who can message you. Spam is almost unknown in Facebook's version of email.

So when I see distributed social network efforts like Diaspora, and all this talk of authentication and protocols and whatnot I wonder why we're not really using and extending the distributed infrastructure we already have. Even if we improve it in some way that makes it no longer work with the old email network, it won't be the first time a better internet service replaced a previous one (WWW replaced gopher for example) -- there's no reason two competing distributed messaging services can't run in parallel.
> Please view in Chrome or Firefox. Chrome is glitchy, Firefox is stuttery.

I really want to get behind WebGL, but when is it going to have decent performance/compatibility? I tried this out in both FF and Chrome on a powerful desktop computer (i5-4670K, GTX760, 16GB RAM) and it was glitchy/stuttery as described. Firefox rendered some scenes at what seemed like 2-3 FPS. Chrome was much smoother, but I couldn't tell what parts were glitches. For example, the "classic demoscene water effect" looked completely different in Chrome. But neither FF nor Chrome produced an effect remotely resembling water.

Although this looks like a great library, personally I prefer to stick with OpenGL programming until WebGL's quircks are sorted out.
If you illegalize debtors prison (which it now is), one can just walk off and go elsewhere.
You mean, like free as in radio. Terrestrial radio has been free for a century and it worked out perfectly well, while not becoming Orwellian. It produced shows as diverse as Howard Stern and Rush Limbaugh, it helped launch tens of thousands of musicians, it provides sports news, it provides weather, it helped change the culture in the 1960s and 1970s. Even today it's one of the best sources of local news / weather / happenings. I should know, I owned a bunch of radio stations in a smaller market, and we made all of our money on advertising.

The only reason the Internet is becoming a nightmare, is because the US Government is becoming fascistic. Free is absolutely in no way an enemy of freedom; large, powerful, violent, police states are a threat to freedom, see: Ferguson.

This is absolute nonsense. We spend our days using free services and reading free content which is all supported by advertisers. Google, Facebook, Tech blogs, newspapers. It's not a "sin" -- it's an incredible success.

If you don't like clickbait then don't support publishers who use it. It's easy to avoid Buzzfeed and Upworthy. If you don't like "native ads" don't click them. Support publishers who respect their readers and make a clear distinction between content and advertising. I made such a pledge on my news site.

MathBox 2 is built on top of threestrap (don't google it, you get shoes), to enable exactly this kind of extensibility without me having to do it all myself. Just by following a few basic conventions (e.g. binding the VR headset to three.camera), it should just work. Haven't tried it yet, too much to do, but I do know these guys who have a mocap studio being repurposed for free-walking VR experiments using a wireless headset. I sat on the couch in the Unreal Engine 4 apartment two weeks ago, and picked up a mug from the coffee table (i.e. real couch/table + real mug + mocap balls attached to the mug and the headset). Magic. Would be even better with a mathbox chandelier.

Now I hate 2D screens even more. So yes.

Their entire attitude of accessible, changeable source, accepting patches and responsiveness is really refreshing. If you do windows or apple dev, the frustrations of having none of that available is a big productivity drain. The high amount of responsiveness part is even nicer, since that seems rarer in platforms such as unity or android.

You can use Facebook to accomplish everything you can do with your social network. Make your profile 2-3 sentences and your current city, allow people to request to see email, and just ignore the feed.

The advantage of course is that there's about a billion people already on it.

It's a very, very small group of people that argue this position, and they constantly recycle it; they just happen to be loud about it.

Meanwhile, a large portion of the Internet only exists because of advertising, and that will always be true. A big portion of the reading and watching public will never want to pay for all their content.

The article might as well proclaim that the advertising that supported radio, newspapers and magazines was the devil too. Because that worked out so terribly for a century, right?
The CanCan ruby authorization library does a neat bit of metaprogramming. It offers a function "load_resource" which you put at the top of your controller. The function uses the name of the controller class and the name of the currently executing controller action to automatically set a resource. It looks like this:

class CarsController < ActionController::Base
load_resource

def index
# @cars is defined
end

def show
# @car is defined
end
end

It's interesting that this is one of the things that Go and Rust have agreed upon: that the addresses of zero-sized values are the same (in Go we spell a zero-sized type as "struct{}").

It has some unexpected surprises though. If you write `var key struct{}` in a package and then try to use &key as a map key (c.f. http://blog.golang.org/context) then you'll collide with other packages. You've got to use a non-zero type instead.
I suppose it would depend on the exact gyroscope; apparently some are more sensitive to audio frequency noise than others; some details in this document:

http://www.invensense.com/mems/gyro/documents/whitepapers/A%...

Its placement within the device will also affect the sensitivity to audio, so it will vary between device models - the article doesn't mention if 65% is worst-case, best-case, or an average.
Project builds “fully open” SoC and dev board
But how much money would your ad time have been worth if most of your listeners could have simply ignored the ads altogether while still listening to the program, or refused to listen as soon as an ad came on?

One of the motivating factors for the ever more intrusive nature of advertising on the web is precisely the assumption on the part of users that it should be all free all the time. Radio comes from a much older age, people treat it like television - they expect ads.

Also there's less content overall on the radio, and a much higher barrier for entry into radio and tv than the internet.
The problem with this rosy view is the apparatus of permanent, escalating surveillance that you need to keep the shell game going. Many of the services we use are funded by venture capital, in the expectation of future profit. The only way to keep the investors' wallets open is to convince them that advertising will be a better business model in the future than it is right now. That creates a race to see who can build the most invasive systems for tracking and influencing user behavior.
I don't think we actually defined the addresses of zero-sized values to be equal; I believe it's actually unspecified. I don't think this has ever come up in practice, though; we could define them to be equal if we wanted to.

That issue hasn't come up in Rust, probably because equality and hashing look through references (per the definitions of Hash and Eq in the standard library), so you'd really have to go out of your way to try to use unit as a way to make package-specific keys like that.
Sometimes situation dictates that someone is going to die, and you have the option of deciding who and how - best it happen to the "most deserving" in the least painful/agonizing way possible.
What you need is an "premium" email at a "premium e-mail provider". :)

You signed up as Joe Doe and plug your basic info: website url, physical address, your real email address, phone number cell phone, etc. All this can be in multitude quantity, like your email: office job 1, office job 2, personal. All this info is confidential and only seen to you.

Then your conference comes in. You click "create addresses" and system is randomly generating your email addresses, like this:

joe-doe-349522@email.com

joe-doe-153212@email.com

joe-doe-145621@email.com

joe-doe-675427@email.com

Then for each email you can setup few options, like:

- forward this email to office job 1

- forward this email to office job 2

- forward this email to my personal email

- if someone emails me at this email, send them autoreply with short profile: my homepage url, my pshysical address, my office phone, but no cell phone.

- if someone emails me at this email, send them autoreply with my personal cellphone.

When forwarding your email you can have optional header, such as extra info you added initially: "this is my Word Expo 2014". Then when 2016 comes in and you receive an email, header tells you the origin of it.

You can setup any email to hold on mail and not forward it at all and just notify you once a week/month/once there is X emails awaiting.

At any point you can dispose an email or simply set it to auto-expire. Or change its settings for that matter.

You have two options when it comes to your presentatione. You can go high tech and print (or request print) of business cards with QR code where each code is your CRF card with different email of course. In this scenario you could have different color of qr code representing different email setup and just memorize: green qr code - potential investors, yellow qr code - potential employees, blue qr code - cute blonde that i think likes me!

Or even simplier solution: order yourself a few thousand business cards with your email address like this: "joe-doe_______@email.com" and then just write down the email number after the pre-printed part of your email address that will match particular premium email #. And if someone asks about it, just tell them a perfect excuse: "oh yeah i get so much spam that once a year i have to create a new email for myself".

Someone building such a system could call it similar to gmail so your emails look normal, like maybe pmail.com (for "premium" mail) or something like it.

I think the problem is that this is very niche market. I am sure for a right solution you would pay even $99 per year, but again it would be hard to market and even harder to make some money long-term off of it :)
