Yet another MIM data collecting business. OK, congratulations.

Bird songs and natural sounds of nature. There is no accident that classic music and classic Jazz began with "ornithology".

Network solutions (https://www.networksolutions.com/) recently issued an unauthorized credit card withdrawals for almost $1000, while any automatic renewal has been explicitly disa…

It does not exits, it is only a mathematical abstraction, based on abstract notion of a Number, which also does not exist outside your head.

No two tumors are equal (unless being a product of the same mutation).

Oh lol! I have never understood how this site does not use react and nodejs.

Oh, come on! Go is wonderful in some parts. Methods on types (which are structures most of the time), duck-typing and emphasis on interfaces instead of classes gives you almost a s…

rt.com crap on HN? Why here?

Maybe I am stupid, but nowadays there is no way to compete with Chinese mega-farms which made out of thousands of computers with specialized ASICs - there is no way one could find …

> Data dominates. If you've chosen the right data structures and organized things well, the algorithms will almost always be self-evident. Data structures, not algorithms, are cent…

Yet another popular hipster's nonsense. Observer affects an observation by interpreting it in a wrong context, which includes observer itself and non-existent relations he implicit…

By providing a heuristic that doubling could be defined as x+x and 2*x. That one plus one is the same as one two times.

Oh, more than one infinity in the same reality and no contradiction? What a wonderful world we live in.. More than one zero, more than one infinity, why not? More than on nothingne…

Wrong emphasis. It must be read "flaw in open source Java software. The problem is Java, not Open Source.

Oh, they wrote their own uwsgi, based on what presumably started as nginx2. That's cool. I hope they would avoid the Second System syndrome..

The real prerequisite for machine learning is a domain expertise. Otherwise algorithms will learn nonsense and random correlations made from datasets of random noise. Look at finan…

Obviously, practicality should beat purity and very clever and reasobable syntax (x=1, y=2) which could be used/generalized for a procedure arguments and effecient implementation i…

I am using the definition from the times of Descartes. Perhaps I missed the moment when the word "thinking" began to refer to arbitrary cognitive processes. I will try one more tim…

Exactly. Information processing is information processing, and thinking is a process which is based on a language. Otherwise it loses all meaning - cells are thinking, tissues are …

Philosophy 101.

Yes, it is another kind of activity. To ask "what animals are thinking" is exactly the same as to ask "what a self-driving car or a smartphone are thinking".

Google 'belief' and 'idea' too.

Definition of thinking, like definition of sex, or any other biological trait cannot be broadened. That would yield nonsense. Thinking implies language. Without language it is feel…

No. Animals don't think, because thinking requires language, based on it conceptual thinking and related brain circuitry which animals still didn't evolve. Signaling systems and el…

Only a hipster snowflake's magazine could put such question in a headline. A crowd is a major hardwired social heuristic. When someone sees a crowd of protestors or supporters almo…
