There's almost no one like Carmack in academia. Academic experience writing papers vs actual industry experience to the point of creating new technologies and new markets almost by himself are definitely not equivalent. So, as much as

Good. He deserves better. I still wait for when he moves to Valve.

I really don't see the problem with having an actual ID. We have universally mandated, centrally managed IDs in Colombia, and we have been using them for many decades now. I find the idea of using social security ID or a driving licenc

This also has more to do with the quirks of English pronunciation than something particular to Latin scripts. Like Mercedes having each e pronounced differently. It's madness. An example: Limonada in Spanish and Лимонада in Bulgarian s

The problem in this case is deeper. The Linux kernel overcommits memory. OOMD is a workaround for this behaviour. And it can't be disabled. I disabled the kernel memory overcommit and then neither Chrome nor Edge were running. I can&#x

The problem here, is that the sea is not a very preserving environment. All evidence could have been decayed by now.

It's not farfetched. But at the same time, it puts a lot of pressure in the immutability of oral traditions. Back then, distances were simply bigger, both in actual distance and in time. For a single culture to have been the origin, th

4 and 5 make so much sense. We would not have these genes without the selective pressure to keep them in the population.

In that sense, I have found "The Dawn of Everything", by David Graeber fantastically good at debunking so many previous preconceptions and clarifying with cross-checking historical records some things we were taught that are argua

I use Edge these days, but Pocket is one of the first Extensions I install. I also purchased a Kobo precisely because it has Pocket integration. So, thank you for the good work.

It's because you were too noisy. Basically, reputation builds at glacial speed, and it is rapidly destroyed. Complaints and reports of bad user experience linger for years, if not decades, and reversing consumer trends requires humongo

I would completely invert saddlebrown and chocolate. I mean, #D2691E is more orange than chocolate, IMO.

But that's just the latest Stockfish, after LeelaZero implemented AlphaZero strategy and beat Stockfish, and then Stockfish had to add neural networks to its code to stay competitive.

I think that would be transferring one particular network in a fuzzy way to a set of children, but it would not be transferring any of the training tools and feedback models that can improve the network. The biggest failing would be, of cou

I personally have an enormous debt from my perception of the world to Cosmos by Carl Sagan. It's not simply a world view absent of supernatural forces. Yes, it is that, but at the same time it is much more. It's a world of discove

And here I am thinking the exact opposite. I think that religion comes from the experience of man made reality, and it is very limited precisely because of that. The mandate of 'controlling the creation'. The parent-child relation

I believe you believe what you wrote, and I believe you are not trolling. I also believe your ideas are 100% false. Life is far too valuable to be defined in a single moment. And for many people, this single moment is not even a conscious o

For me, there should be a balance between the detail of history and the usefulness of the information. For the changes I do, not only I rebase them all in a single commit, I don't even merge branches. I cherry-pick my changeset. Clean

I don't focus. I get obsessed. I start with some idea, and until I can confirm it works, or it is actually wrong, I can't stop. This idea is there, in the background, calling for attention, so it's not something I can just ig

It is usually implemented as linked arrays. For example, arrays of 16 or 64 elements, if it grows over that size, new arrays or vectors are used underneath. Two consecutive elements are probably in the same array, and that helps with cache

Nice, this means the professional-level AIs can be fixed automatically against cheap tricks, not only against good play. In a sense, this is expanding the search space a bit, they train not only against themselves but against a basic subset
