Maybe it was a purposeful reference, but PlayStations have indeed been linked to create a supercomputer: https://phys.org/news/2010-12-air-playstation-3s-supercomput...

Interesting point - I think the Ted Chiang novella 'The Lifecycle of Software Objects' also include AI pets that develop to the point that they start asking their owners that they …

It might seem a bit exaggerated, but I'd expect that's because he's comparing it to growing up in a generic suburb where going on simple errands likely requires a car, and anything…

I see what you're saying, but the oddness may feel apparent even to those growing up in suburbia. I can distinctly remember watching miles and miles of suburban settlements sprawl …

I met Dr. Murphy through a mutual friend in 2018, and attended a presentation that he gave about his prTMS treatment. I thought it was a bit odd that someone who had a radiology / …

That's like saying you don't care about freedom of speech because you don't have anything to say

The article mentions that, if you are not free to go, then the police must read you your Miranda rights. This appears to be a common understanding as well. However, other sources I…

I was surprised too, but it appears that the post has negatives votes, so I take it that it wasn't quite rational enough for the rest of the community.

"Gore Vidal, who’s had his dick sucked more than a few times and been taken to task for it, has written far more persuasively that the novel as an art-form has become a cultural ir…

Even if those fields completely stagnated, there's great progress to be made in high performance computing, security, bioinformatics, and human computer interaction (just to name a…

I agree that it might not be a large portion of all CS students, but it does appear that many of the incoming CS PhDs have chosen to go into ML (of my class, maybe 1/3), which seri…

Regarding #1: From the point of view of the company, if other companies are educating their employees, then the company will likely stop spending the resources on their own employe…

They're not saying they want it to be easy, they're saying they don't want to do it and don't have to (which ties into the rest of what they're saying) I think you're missing the p…

I think that's an interesting thought. I struggled with DP/DR for a couple years, and the alarming part was that I felt like I was just watching myself perform automatic actions wi…

I looked into the citations and they seemed reliable, so I trust it. Just put it there because it presented the point succinctly.
