    Why not python? It's pretty simple for kids to understand.

    If the file is that important, it shouldn't be stored in the VM, but on some sort of more robust storage system.

    Remarkable. If this material works and is flexible enough, we could someday see tape drives with hundreds of exabytes of capacity.

    Thanks for the blast from the past. SED led me to AWK, which led me to Perl, which lead me to Python. An interesting chain that brought me back to the interpreted languages like BA…

    Maybe. But it can also help people find their voice. And I'd rather have comments from someone knowledgeable but unrefined with some good guidance than their silence on that same t…

    Are there any attempts to start geo-engineering to fix this? I'm assuming there will be no attempt to stop dumping carbon into the atmosphere, can we at least do something to take …

    We build our own with data that we've collected ourselves ethically. Then we execute once the big guys are distracted.

    Have you tried asking one of your peers who claims to get good results to run a test with you? Where you both try to create the same project, and share your results?

    What I like about Forth is that it can be expressed at the lowest level of computation, and that it can be used to bridge that to the highest level of computation. For example, For…

    We could just leave them up there and add more stations nearby. It may even be possible to use tethering lines to travel from one to another.

    Large planes are all fly by wire. In a commercial airplane, you're talking about moving maybe a quarter-ton of metal for the rudder alone, and against high wind speeds. There is no…

    There is a range between less profit and no profit. As a shareholder, I'd rather have a functional society for all at the cost of a bit less profit, rather than being the richest i…

    An Aeon ago in 1984, I wrote a perceptron on the Apple II. It was amazingly slow (20 minutes to complete a recognition pass), but what most impressed me at the time was that it did…

    Man, we shared our knowledge via books long before the internet. And a lot of those AI models train off of thousands of books as a base before they try to incorporate less accurate…

    I can't contribute that much yet. I'm working on a set of real estate investments to hopefully start the chain within 5-6 years. One of the things that would help for now is to exp…

    I really wish there was a finance group for solarpunk stuff. It's a constant problem, and when I join any of the many groups online, no-one seems to acknowledge it. If there was so…
