Another awkward overlap with the use of “AI” exists in games, too. Because here AI just means behavior, from a simple Goomba walking left to right to smart squads of soldiers coord…

Check out swiftbar (see my other comment) https://github.com/swiftbar/SwiftBar

On macOS there is xBar (haven't tried it) and SwiftBar [1] Its really cool because it lets you use any shell-executable file, including bash scripts, python scripts (with shebangs …

I would disagree with this. The prefix notation isn’t hard to understand, but even if I am familiar with how it works, it still requires the reader to do conversion, whereas when I…

Not sure but turbulent diffusion might be an example? Fluid dynamics is emergent from its constituent particles, creating sometimes vortices etc. which can decay into ever smaller …

Unfortunately the blog post is so poorly worded that I'm not sure after that. My reading, too, is that once you reach the threshold, you pay for those first 200k installs, too! The…

I can recommend Andrew Trask’s tutorials and even his book on this. The (e-)book doesn’t go too in-depth with more complex NN applications, but you start out implementing your own …

We tried using intel python in one of my previous data science jobs, and ultimately gave up because compatibility with some packages from pip was a nightmare. Alas I can’t quite re…

I agree. So far I have never heard any good arguments for why it should be more than an emergent property. Any aspect of consciousness that is usually brought up can either be attr…

What aspect of consciousness does it not explain?

Is it possible that becoming religious has not equipped you with helpful models, but rather it has led you to project your approach to understanding the world onto others? That las…

Watching day9 explain Starcraft 2 build orders opened my eyes to the powers of recognizing and optimizing for constraints you cannot do anything about, as well as the importance of…

Exactly! One aspect to remember is that once you have a self—replicating mechanism, by the nature of it, the replicating parts are becoming more widespread. In other words, small e…

Yes. I think it has to do with the sheer amount of precise information needing to be kept in working memory to be able to complete the tasks. Switching tasks means lots of bandwidt…

In my experience this is absolutely wrong. Context switching is one of those essentials that you cannot cheat or improve upon. It’s like assuming that if I walk to work often enoug…

They are not deplatformed for their political beliefs, but for their non-moderation of calls for violence. If this happens to be what somebodies politics is about, tough luck. But …

Huh. I wonder if this is also the reason why my unity game stuttered below 30fps even in menus on a galaxy s6 until I put it to sleep and woke it back up.

I guess Apple just does t like to depend on anyone anymore. It’s not like there hasn’t been legal fighting between Apple and Qualcomm about this very issue: https://www.theverge.co…

I can take comments like this seriously only if you are a full-on convinced communist. “A company making profits!?!? By providing a whole industry with extreme value?!?!? With prod…

Well, there is still the point of crossing the million and having a more expensive next year as a consequence, my bad!

No.if I understand correctly, Apples own article says that you pay 15% if eligible, and when you cross 1million, you pay 30% for the remainder of the year , ie no back payments. Th…

As usual, in the discussion there are a lot of folks who's advice/opinion boils down to "rtfm" and "it's not the tool, it's you!" I found working with SourceTree to be a good fit m…

I actually think that you have to google a lot more for emacs. Lots of people in favor of command line editors also tell you that you should look at man pages etc rather than use a…

Knowing a bit of emacs has helped me a lot when fixing code on servers via shell. I also think that while learning, writing code in an even more primitive editor (editor.exe) could…

It’s funny reading all the anecdotes on how handwriting notes help with programming. Because for me it is the complete opposite. I think the part that helps so many here is the tak…
