J fixed the second problem you have with APL, and many people think that was a mistake. What do you think the better version of lisp/apl/whatever would actually be? I get the idea of a simple 1 + 2, but that doesn't express a

Idk. You could probably get pretty far just starting with hand made custom cars. 5 guys, 4 welding machines and an electrical engineering degree could probably make a few in their first year to just get started.

I don't see what the big deal is. Even a cursory glance at the 3 star rating - not to mention the reviews - makes it clear that it's a product to avoid. Anyone remember that it's Amazon that pioneered the customer reviews tha

I wonder if we should return to the trackball. I have an old KVM keyboard that has one built-in, and it's not so bad. Seems like it wouldn't get in the way like a touchpad does. Why is it that we stopped using those?

Ya, that's what I heard. After spaceX started doing better than them, they were having trouble because they didn't want to start using reusable rockets.

Last I heard they were also having a lot of trouble competing with the industry leaders...

Wow. As a casual user - someone who at one point was trying to choose between RAID, LVM and ZFS for an old NAS - some of those limitations of ZFS seem pretty basic. I would have taken it for granted that I could remove a device from a pool

So what's the efficiency of this model? Can I use it instead of pocketsphinx on a raspberry pi?

As a summary to see if I understand you, it sounds like what you're saying is that the CPU will calculate updates to memory, but in the interest of speed and efficiency will not actually write the new value back into RAM for some unspe

The article only describes extremely ideal conditions. Use 'in the wild' is still untested, from what I understand. Also, I don't think they provided any code to generate the disguised version of the adversarial patches.

Your comment, however, implies a naivete that we should trust others - to do only what they say they will, with things that are precious to us. The people shooting the video are frauds, but allowing the video to be shot at all was naive at

I would assume that whoever that was now has a copy of your keepass database. However, it may be that your computer was simply added to a botnet, in which case the harm done to you personally may be minimal.

It's too bad that the text generation is still so computationally expensive. I know the last round of text generation models still required some late-model GPUs to do their generation with any kind of efficiency. I think it'll s

Yup, Inferno is one of the Plan 9 forks and that looks very close to what I'm imagining. Though it seems to be built on top of android.

I keep thinking that we might take this opportunity of rebuilding an OS from the ground up to implement something like Plan 9. The usual adoption issue of drivers and apps seems irrelevant here. Fundamentally, its distributed nature would a

Why are you being downvoted? You're talking about relevant periods of history, and providing a much more interesting counterpoint.
