Yeah you can imagine a lizard brain being introduced into a biomechanic machine to calculate chess moves. It doesn't make a lizard more intelligent, or even add intelligence to the lizard.

If we don't regard intelligence as something different from control, then I guess birds are the most intelligent because they can navigate complex air currents. Etc. That is a poor definition of intelligence, because its not helpful in distinguishing what we normally mean by 'smart' from mechanistic/logical systems.

And the discussion of rogue AIs is all about intelligence gone awry. Does anybody fear a control system that mis-estimates the corn crop? No, its about a malicious non-empathetic machine entity that coldly calculates how to defeat us. And that requires more that the current AI's are delivering.

Funny you should ask :) I'm best known for my article criticizing Go's design. I think Go is a reactionary language; it says "To hell with the last 30 years of language research; we want the good old K&R days back!" while making a few token admissions to progress (like good green threading). In reality, this approach eliminated everything that made C elegant (C is universally compatible with basically all Von Neumann computers, and Go certainly isn't) without actually taking advantage of 99% of the progress we've made. I'd hardly say Go has many of the "best parts" of other languages.

I don't think he's conflating the ideas, so much as pointing out that Scala's ideas of "objects" can do what other module systems can do, but are "first class" in the sense that the can be created on the fly and passed around as values. This has to do with things like path-dependent types and being able to import from arbitrary object instances instead of just from static namespaces.

No mention of YCombinator at all, including their reasoning to include or not include it. Seems really strange given that I've never heard of most of these accelerators, I would have figured it was YC and TechStars at the top, followed by some larger regional accelerators.
It depends.

The advice you're getting, to say basically nothing, is sound under all circumstances. However...

If you don't need to work again { at this company, in your industry, in your city, at all }, you should feel free to say whatever you want. That freedom takes years or decades of hard work to earn, and once earned should be used! Just how willing you should be to burn bridges depends on your personal situation and the nature of your industry and profession; if these are not people you would ever work with or for again anyway, and you wouldn't want a job with someone else in the same city or industry who respects their opinion, then the advice to say nothing for your own sake does not apply.

All that said, what are you trying to accomplish? If you've decided to resign and that decision is final, you're not going to accrue any benefit yourself. If you're looking for a counteroffer, forget it; you likely won't get one, and you'll be a marked man if you do. If your motives are altruistic (either for the benefit of the shareholders or your peers), then you must be hopelessly naive. These people are corporate managers, and so are their superiors; they've been carefully selected for sociopathy, greed, and incompetence by a mature and very stable set of processes. They know morale is in the tank and they don't care. The company is probably in trouble owing to mismanagement and they're probably hoping a few people will leave on their own so they can save themselves not only the cost of pay rises but also of severance. Telling them what they already know will, at best, give them fodder for the jokes they'll tell at your expense in the executive washroom. If your goal is simply to go out in style, don't bother with the letter; no one will read it anyway. Instead, write a public article (carefully avoiding the use of confidential information!) or invite all your peers out to a giant party at which you roast management ruthlessly. The leadership principle is to criticize in private and praise in public, but the opposite applies when dealing with corporate management: anything negative you want to say has to be said in public. Private criticism of corporate managers only gives them an opportunity to get ahead of you, whether by having Security remove you from the premises immediately, by slandering you among your peers, or by suing you. Why? Because when you tell them something you're not telling everyone, you give them information, and they will always use that information to their advantage and your injury. Unfortunately, if you have something negative to say about your employer, the only effective place to do so is in the press.

So while I disagree that one should never provide one's reasons out of self-preservation, I also don't see much point in using the letter of resignation as the means of doing so. Whatever your goals, there are better ways to achieve them.
Spot on. I guess different people just have different life goals?
The SketchDeck link redirects to the page itself. I'm sure they would appreciate some YC traffic.
It's not a rounding error in the technology industry. Many startups would die within a year if VC funding dried up, which means thousands of talented programmers would be unemployed. Many others would survive, but would be forced to significantly curtail growth and have large layoffs. Any "growth now, revenue later" startups would be in serious trouble.

Salaries would go down (demand for programming jobs would outstrip supply) and there might even be a real estate crash in geographic areas heavily dominated by startups (e.g., Silicon Valley/San Francisco).

I don't really get your reasoning there. Forms are the mechanism for making parameterised requests over HTTP. If REST is your platform then it makes sense to start with them, regardless of any framework you are using.

I'm not saying using JSON as an envelope won't work - it is clearly working for you - just that I wouldn't start there, and I can't see that you couldn't work with the request object directly.

I'm not sure that's a sufficient explanation. Idris and Haskell (with extensions) also have Turing complete type systems. I've never seen either even approach performance like 1 line/minute in real code.
well, some might remark that a lot of things are implemented with linear algorithms, while they could be log(n) or n.log(n).

It's not bad to use the simplest strategy you can get away with.
Water vapor is a much larger contributor to the greenhouse effect than CO2. But it also cycles through the atmosphere on the order of weeks. So if we were to accidentally increase the atmospheric concentration of water vapor, we'd be out of trouble in a couple of weeks after the excess rained out.

Carbon cycles through the atmosphere on the order of centuries. So if we put too much CO2 in the atmosphere we have to live with the consequences for what will seem to us like a long time. That's why people focus on CO2 as the "climate change gas."
Perhaps there needs to be a version of the Creative Commons with a group kill-switch, where if a licensee violates the terms of the license, they lose the rights to use all CC-KS works until the violations have been remedied.
> Why is questioning the theory behind climate change met with such hostility?

Because the vast majority of it (just about all of it outside of actual climate scientists, really) is but one more round of professional doubt-sowing, in the long line of tobacco, leaded gas, CFCs or SO2 (and with very similar people in the roles of professional doubters).

> They readily admit that the current models haven't done a good job at predicting climate change.

They readily admit that their models (unsurprisingly) don't do a good job at predicting the result of climate change, not that it doesn't exist or that it's going to be a good thing for humanity.
It gives me faith in humanity that someone can be offended by a phrase that they admittedly don't understand the meaning of or point of reference.

The surface text is that MIT students are better positioned to succeed at YC than people from more pedestrian socio-economic backgrounds. Altman isn't directly recruiting at community college students for reasonable reasons [by which I am not saying that there aren't potential founders among community college students, but that it is easier to optimize on eliminating false positives among MIT students than among students at less selective institutions]. You're on your own for the hermeneutics.

It helps Manhattan a lot that it has one of the world's best-engineered public transportation systems to connect it to the other boroughs and to Jersey.

The problem with construction booms in East and South Bay is that the transportation infrastructure in SFBA is barely keeping up with the population as-is, and however asymptotically it approaches "adequate" today, it is also one of the country's most poorly managed systems: it's underinvested, hemmed in by a dysfunctional political system, freighted with union, tenure, and retirement problems, and poorly maintained.

> A computer surely isn't aware of what it is computing
A computer could be conscious without being aware of what it is computing just like a human can be conscious without being aware of what their neurons are doing.

> The concept of a threshold for consciousness doesn't seem to hold any weight to it.
So then consciousness must be a sliding scale? I would agree.

> Is the universe conscious?
I would say this is likely. If neurons and the rest of our physiology can give rise to consciousness, then I think it's likely that there are objects at larger scales than us that are conscious (at least partly) due to our behaviors.
I think it's important to separate the idea of the GPL (which IMO is awesome!), and it's key distinction between free as in not-paying and free as in freedom, from the zealous nature of its creator.

I believe that there are many benefits from GPL, and the entire idea of Free software. I don't really feel compelled by the idea that all the bits I write should be that way, or that I should restrict the bits I use to Free ones -- partly because I really like good graphics card drivers in linux. (I realize it's selfish, but it also feels pragmatic.)

I am profoundly grateful for RMS' insight and creations, even though I don't always agree with his opinions.

I think the work identification routine is probably pretty simple. Determine home by where the phone spends a long stasis/charging period, likely overnight, and then find the most common recurring location that visited during the day during weekdays over a prior period.

Enterprise is a subset of B2B cos. While this isn't an exact science and the very concept of 'Enterprise' has been disrupted by companies such as box.net, I would say that typically: Enterprise = B2B cos with annual contract values > $100k, which usually means a different sales model, too.

This is not a solution, this is a delay.
No offense, but it doesn't sound like you know fully what you're talking about.

As someone else said, for WPA, you can't simply spoof the home base. You have to know whatever password the device is configured for. And even if you did know that, you'd have to spoof the same MAC address for most computers to communicate with the device, which is more likely to just break everyone's internet connection, since the whole communication protocol relies on MAC addresses being unique.

> And the best part, if I show up and starbucks is already full of people I'd like to play with, I can just deauthenticate them all for a moment, and when I turn off the kill switch they all connect to me. None the wiser.

Once again, the only way they're going to auto-connect to your network is if you have the same MAC address and password, and the interference would kill you. You're more likely to get fish on the hook if you make an AP with the same name and hope you trick some people who are frustrated with you shutting down the other network into trying it.

> Wifi security is a misnomer.

Not if you actually use WPA2, pick a good password, and make sure your users aren't connecting to random unsecured networks with the same name.

Unfortunately, they might not have a choice in the matter—hardware development is becoming more and more expensive, and I'm not sure Nintendo has deep enough pockets to keep up. Their common tactic of underpowered hardware that's cheaper to manufacture and develop for hasn't really worked out with the WiiU. So it might be, no profits, or smaller profits.

I wouldn't worry too much about "stable", though. Nintendo knows how to sell their software.

char ** argv

is a null terminated array in C according to the C standard. (EDIT: see clarification below) C doesn't care about types at all and you can abuse this by casting pointers to different (sometimes incompatible types). The second argument to main (argv) it set up by the initialization code and has the same space as a pointer regardless if it's a string, array of strings, struct, integer etc...

The existing structure will simply be interpreted as that new type like so:

String1 String2 String3 String4
char ** a2: |0x41414141 |0x42424242 |0x43434343 |0x00000000 |
+-----------+-----------+-----------+-----------+
char * a1 : |41|41|41|41|42|42|42|42|43|43|43|43|00|00|00|00|

printf("%s\n", a1);
> AAAABBBBCCCC

That being said, some compilers (clang) will emit an error on the improper type, like so:

'char **'

It's extremely relevant for women. Women are harassed more online and the harassment is more personal for women than men. Men get their work attacked, women get their identity attacked:

http://www.psmag.com/health-and-behavior/women-arent-welcome...

> According to a 2005 report by the Pew Research Center, which has been tracking the online lives of Americans for more than a decade, women and men have been logging on in equal numbers since 2000, but the vilest communications are still disproportionately lobbed at women. We are more likely to report being stalked and harassed on the Internet—of the 3,787 people who reported harassing incidents from 2000 to 2012 to the volunteer organization Working to Halt Online Abuse, 72.5 percent were female. Sometimes, the abuse can get physical: A Pew survey reported that five percent of women who used the Internet said “something happened online” that led them into “physical danger.” And it starts young: Teenage girls are significantly more likely to be cyberbullied than boys. Just appearing as a woman online, it seems, can be enough to inspire abuse. In 2006, researchers from the University of Maryland set up a bunch of fake online accounts and then dispatched them into chat rooms.

> Accounts with feminine usernames incurred an average of 100 sexually explicit or threatening messages a day. Masculine names received 3.7.

> [W]omen’s harassment is more likely to be gender-based and that has specific, discriminatory harms rooted in our history. The study pointed out that the harassment targeted at men is not because they are men, as is clearly more frequently the case with women. It’s defining because a lot of harassment is an effort to put women, because they are women, back in their “place.”

How language is used in studies, versus how it's used colloquially, are two different things.
