Yeah I guess in order to make this into a simulation, one would effectively add all the exponential time back, since it requires all that to "run" an amoeba on a classical computer…

Right, it is not guaranteed to find _the_ best solution possible, but at least it does find _some_ solution to NP-complete problems in linear time, which no classical algorithm is …

No, if I understood right, this thing is a quantum computer solving NP-complete problems in linear time. And the article claims to have a simulation doing the same, but they are no…

It's not Intel's issue, it's a design flaw per se, affecting _all_ CPUs that use predictive branch execution that has effects on the processor cache, which are pretty much all proc…

Ah, sorry, duplicate question (see below). Well, even if it does not do much, it's a start, and it shouldn't require putting in extra energy from power plants.

Does that mean we can cover the deserts with these plates that run purely on solar energy and release energy as infrared radiation to combat Global Heating?

Yes, but there is the major problem that charging electrical car batteries today still requires burning of fossils to create the energy in the first place. Beside, that's controver…

Nobody seems to mention cars, they run on burning fossils and they are a large factor due to the amount of cars in use (ever increasing worldwide). Forcing the industry to replace …

Why only 4, 8 or 12 rotors? Can a group of much smaller rotors replace the thrust a single bigger one produces? Would add a lot more redundancy and limit the costs.

I wonder if this was actually a sophisticated trade to profit from shaking up the market - claiming a substantial hack to make the market panic, then buy back the "lost" coins for …

Given that you can run the same program on a billion bacteria should quite improve the odds of getting the job done. Surely, also one has to account for possible other "jobs" that …

Two remarks: - There are a lot of exchanges that don't involve direct transactions on the blockchain (buying and selling BTC is nonlimited in terms of quantity or time). - There ar…

Great idea. Google should pick it up to colorize black/white movies and historical footage. Can easily be extended to feeding desaturated movies for proper training data, can maybe…

Instead of putting them into nature we should put them into our food, to digest all that plastic that will be in our food chain soon.

If you are redistributing, hosting or using it commercially you have to have the agreement of the author of the content. RSS just gives you access in another way than HTML, but it …

Terminator, the humble beginnings - looks and feels like rats!

Hm true, although everybody knows the identity, nobody can peek into the chats. Good point. That would then allow for generating addresses from speaking aliases, so we don't have t…

Now that you associated this address publicly with your profile on HN you compromised anonymity already.

Lol, fail - I don't understand the question: #2 "REMOVING WHICH OF THE FOLLOWING WOULD MAKE YOU A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT PERSON?" I'm not a native speaker -- what am I supposed to do…

WindOwS X Snowelephant then Mountainelephant. There will most certainly be some kind of internal sub versioning for the kernel part. Let's see which animals they will take for that…

pressing F12 in the editor brings up editor debug gui, apparently it is a webpage. So that thing potentially runs as a website in the browser as well, cloud editing.

Right, marking areas (in this case terms between commas), like Google's Webmaster Tools structured information designer does it, would help. This would require some kind of regular…

They did not perceive the nose at all :D Funny what all gets filtered out. When I'm wearing my extremely old plastic glasses (real ones, not VR), I do not perceive the myriad of sc…

It might appear like that, but it is about distance! Moving the two images over each other will make your brain think the nose that is farest away from the common center is closest…

No, what he really meant by complexity is information content - will always remain - you can compress it (akin to writing complex code) or uncompress it (akin to writing more code)…
