Exactly that, as long as you have those who have access and those that don't you have something to be exploited. There you move towards a great divided in power, towards total lack of privacy or you don't gather the data. I think the later is actually the least likely. There are a lot of really powerful things you can do with good data, that seems worthwhile. The issue is then exploitation of that knowledge. For sure advantage will be had by someone, question is extent of imbalance and lack of privacy.

Nice! Feature request: Use replaceState so I don't need to hit back seventy times when I'm done reading slides on the internet.
Now you're doing exactly the same things that Intel people do when ARM folks claim that x86 is hard to decode. :)

Look, by any objective measure, a shipping AArch64 CPU is "more CISCy" than an ARMv7 one. Claiming that it is not because some particular subset of its functionality (that can never be shipped in isolation) is clean is a kind of cognitive dissonance.

I mean, if you want to flame about "architecture subsets", the 8086 was a pretty "clean" architecture too. The datasheet with full instruction set and all addressing modes fit on like 3 pages.
Well, they're not really playing text-based adventures. The fun and challenge of most adventures is that you don't necessarily know all the possible actions, and you have to guess what possible state transitions might exist. Many adventures make this more devilish by purposefully being coy about stuff (e.g., one game had a puzzle solved with "use stick on door"--the stick is a stick of dynamite).

What the paper studied was not that sort of text-based adventure, from what I can tell. Their AIs had a list of all possible actions, which is the sort of thing that could easily by solved by a simple reinforcement learner given a few thousand runs. Instead of making it more difficult by removing the list of actions, they made it more difficult by varying the success condition. In effect, what they've shown is that their algorithm does a better job of figuring out what the success condition is given a textual description, not that their algorithm does a better job of figuring out plausible actions.

Nice job! This is really polished and you clearly worked a lot on it!

A couple of quick comments on it, after playing it for 15 minutes.

- I didn't realize until I had been playing about 5 minutes that the box at the top needed to match the arrow at the time that the arrow boxes went in to it. When I started out, I was trying to change as soon as I saw the new directions.

- Nice job on the animations. I think they're just right, and you really did a great job on using the right combination of CSS and JS (imho).

- As a guy with a left handed friend, and working on a cramped Macbook Air keyboard it would be really nice to have WASD support.

Again though, awesome job!

What is this "big game"? Are they taking you to a sporting event?

Sporting events seem like an inefficient place to transfer technical details. They're rather distracting.
I was thinking using this to update our graphics software, but then I realized I need to backup GPU states (textures, for example) and recover them before and after the update.

lots of the servers are now using gpus for deep learning, may be adding gpu support to the framework is a good feature.
I have very similar stories with UO. I ran servers. I wrote scripts, in fact I owe much of my entry into my career to running private servers: it taught me how to run a server, how to setup a forum, how to program, how to setup a site, domain, etc, etc, etc. Ragnarok did much the same for me, it taught me about mysql, php (well I knew some by then). Time-warp and now I'm an expert in Rails/Ruby/Meteor/Node/Devops/etc. I really owe many thanks to gaming for giving me my entry and the devs whoms backs I stood on.

I agree that Minecraft is what UO was to our generation, although I'm a bit worried they're learning java, but I guess php is no better. Oh well, just more tools for the toolbelt. :D
...sigh :(
It's not expensive, it's 'progressive'
What is fun is that Office 2007 actually reduced the default macro security level to Medium, but not with a modal macro warning on open.
Hey guys. I'm the developer of this. I'll be happy to answer any questions!

Also you might be interested to know that this is written in C++ and compiled to JS using emscripten and using WebGL.
Amazing. I'll share this with people.

Not sure how many hours truckers are allowed to drive, but in a city you have way more things that can go wrong. People should not be allowed to drive past their limits.
When you start to complain about things because you are set in your ways and start to expect things to always happen the way they used to, like my wife tells me, your are getting old!!

This is all part of evolution, accept it and worry about things that are more important to you. I may find SMS lingo annoying but that is the way communication and language is evolving so be it. For a change, I like how people have started to accept that you understand the context of conversation and don't have to worry about someone interjecting questions like "Who are they?" in conversations.
That assumes there is some systematic process in which established medicine adopts alternative methods once they have been validated.

However, this is a simplistic view that is quite far from reality. First, the practices are totally different in principled approaches. Medicine generally is focused on treatment and management of illness and conditions. Alternative medicine is generally focused on prevention or reversal of conditions.

Medicine doesn't have much incentive to adopt alternative practices even when they do work. You can't patent them. Lot's of research often goes into taking a natural substance and turning it into a drug just so it can be patented to make it profitable. However, often in the effort to create a drug version, the drug version must be a modified structure which doesn't exist in nature in order for it to be patentable, but this is what leads to the problem of side effects or complete failures of medications.

Just look at recent revelations of medicine such as anti-depressants which perform no better than placebo. Effectiveness of statins are being called into question and then there is monumental disaster Vioxx that killed something like 55k after successfully completing the FDA approval process.

Simply saying medicine works and alternative doesn't is quite an unfair view. Reality is there is both good and bad on both sides.

Lisp macros are powerful, so the core of the language can be kept simple. However, many languages take an alternate approach and codify the most common programming patterns into their specification. The result is a compromise that works for the majority of cases, and better understood than custom macros.

The semantic core is kept simple. That doesn't mean lisps don't provide constructs for common patterns. Ej. Loop, with-open-file or defclass or Racket's for/ constructs.

Plus a good written macro is easy to understand and I'd argue most of macros are good written. In fact I'd like to see a macro that what it does is unclear on a widely use liso library.

> - Compilers can optimize well known constructs better than equivalent macros in lisp.

Lookup compiler macros. Macros can help the compiler optimize the code.
