Very cool. Thank you.

Thank you very much for this. I originally learned about the Von Neumann / CA connection here on HN, but never really found a lot of sources for it. I've been deeply wanting to learn more. You've posted a lot of awesome sou

From what I understand, what we call Von Neumann architecture was actually his 'first draft' prototype, and what you describe is what he would have built next - if he hadn't died of brain cancer.

I remember reading on HN at the time, how the systemD folks opened a bug report (or some such similar) on the tmux github because systemD was disappearing those tmux sessions, and their solution was for tmux to change how they managed persi

Fair point. Anonymous reviews do seem important from what you're saying. Maybe a combination - anonymous commentary published alongside the papers themselves would be the best of both worlds. As a reader, I know that I would be extreme

Fair enough. I was thinking compared to cpu clock speed and ram capacity, which seemed to have been an area of greater focus compared to the bandwidth between them.

Wow, that's a lot of models. Thanks for pointing that out.

So is there a place to download the trained model? I don't see anything but the dataset available.

It's funny, I had this conversation last week as the coworker, but didn't actually know how to go about calculating this without running tests. It does seem like there are classes of problems which are completely bandwidth-limited

I've been seeing discussions about the need for more transparent peer review, and more replication. It strikes me that if the peer reviews of an article were published with the article, like the commentary next to court cases in a law

I've been meaning to learn Julia. Is there a recommended text for doing so?

I moved to void for similar reasons. Eventually I'll move to openbsd, but void is a nice stepping stone.

Why do people keep saying this? I don't see any reason to believe this won't come default in e.g. Ubuntu in the future, and it feels disingenuous for people to claim this is a permanently optional feature.

I agree. When that happens, I hope Wayland joins systemD, and I hope Linux somehow merges with plan 9. That, to me, would be ideal. Let Ubuntu play corporate, and leave the hackers in peace. BTW, among other problems that the plan 9 paradig

You hope it's new. I don't think there's anything that he did that couldn't have been done by someone else in the past 2-3000 years.

This is my question as well. Additionally, I've wondered if there are non-explicit behaviors of the browser that are used for fingerprinting.

I think you're missing the point. From how I read the parent comment, the problem they see is how scientists are using the data available to them. When you make a hypothesis, you are supposed to validate or invalidate it based on its

I think you underestimate how much better a pre-literate culture is at memorization, compared to a culture with the luxury of writing. It would be more useful to find an example of a similar pre-literate culture to make your point.

I remember reading about that on wikipedia years ago. Don't remember the name, but it's the site of a large crater, and I think there was also glass in the area similar to what's created by modern nuclear explosions.

Isn't there some level of radiation that is ubiquitously present ever since we started nuclear testing? Seems like we could figure out if there ever was a nuclear-capable society in the past just by looking at radiation decay.
