Yep. Ghost in the shell. The robots are just the next stage in the evolution of life..

I had to think about it, but are you saying all the stars are animated to rotate, but the amount they move between frames is too small for you to see unless it's in your fovea?

The pussy wetter has many good ones, and a sound track .

There is also the idea that innovation is hard in established organisations. William Langewiesche's book "fly by wire" highlights some of the improvements that Boeing no dought knew about, but hadn't got round to. They w

Of course real scientists don't publish. Okay I'm trolling but I know that the science published by Google et al has been thoroughly screened for commercial advantage before we see it. Try doing a litt search on hypersonics and yo

APL? Sure, but CSP perhaps? ... I am going to have to think about a FPGA implementation of APL... perhaps..

What is interesting to me is the blank spaces for various naming systems. Ornithologist's view (Ridgway) versus Japanese traditional. Reminds me of the discussion of the blue/green distinction by Kay etc al.

The paper "C is not a low level language as we are not programming a PDP11" (something like that anyway) made a good point that C is only fast on a multi core machine because c fans work hard at keeping the laurel. What does a low

We didn't get dumped on so I guess we're not missing anything! Vive la revolution!

..as opposed to fish. Which dolphins/porpoises/orcas definitely eat.

Thanks! I'm getting myself a RTL-SDR!

I build robots, and Go looks just so much better than c/c++. Am I missing something? And this just bumps that to a "just so, so, so much better". Cool

I do feel this is a case of Americans believing their own propaganda. What the US does well is efficiency. The problem is, capitalism has pushed the time to ROI (return on investment) to get shorter. 5 years is what venture capitalists were

Someone once pointed out to me that if sonar is your primary sensor, and sonar "sees" through things, human lungs look much like dolphin lungs - and orcas' presumably. We are one of them. A pretty feeble one of course, and pe

That's a bit like saying speech recognition can be solved with ML and an air pressure sensor.

How about we just declare IPv4 addresses to be static as of ..yesterday. They are not unique of course, but at some level they are. Done. Solve a whole bunch of heart ache.

Having followed rpi from the start, I suspect the choice of "200" is a marketing ploy to make the potential customers compare it to a refurb laptop. The company has a good product with a massive peripheral market, and you can open

I read this and questioned the statistical methods 101. To say it works, one would also need to check for false positives. And such a check would pick up on "oh it's finding roads and there's a correlation between road and br

Someone once compared the web to the wild west. A set of anarchist communities getting on mostly well with no rules, then the whities discover it and introduce property and ownership. Capitalism then destroyed what was there and introduced

The idea of a "periodic table" of cognition is cool. A brave attempt. I remember Douglas Copeland had one on the inside cover of "Shampoo Planet" that sorta captured the attitude of some post genXers.

I can't believe people haven't read James Lovelock's works re the Gaia hypothesis. The feedback loop is that plants produce an oxygen rich atmosphere right up to the point where lightning strikes would start fires that kill o

Thoroughly agree. Where I come from it's called "shoulder surfing". It is really important to not help.

What we seem to have forgotten is just how c like java was compared to other programming languages being advocated at the time. Objects made sense (remember Ada?) but c++ was a mess. Java was a breath of fresh air with lots of c legacy.

I love the Culture novels, and really appreciate the criticism. Thank you. My true love however thought having babies was essential for a good old age. But she was raised in Cambodia. Socialism (that is the welfare state and the promise of

And the second one is "Inversions" But those two are probably fine firsts. Mine was "use of weapons".

Yes. The Affront, and our hero wanting (and successfully) to become one. I love these novels but really, really, appreciate the criticism.

The comparison is perhaps with a private yacht. And can I live aboard permanently on a siding somewhere? The local cement works has a siding... Hmm
