Life extension will be horribly dystopian unless we can also find ways to restore neuroplasticity and enable re-learning-- a kind of "second childhood." Otherwise it'll be a bunch of immortal old curmudgeons sitting on top of

Opening the Chinese market? As it stands the GFW implements a rather strong protectionist barrier. I've long suspected that to be it's main purpose.

Why do you need one vendor? IMHO the Intel/AMD oligopoly (heavily tilted toward Intel) is one of the major problems with X86/X64. ARM32 has "ARM hell" with multiple extensions but they've mostly fixed this in ARM64.

It's not the same people? If there was a conspiracy it would have been a small clique (most of whom would now be dead) not the whole government or even official channels thereof. In other words it would have been a crime. These files w

Yes, you just have to control it via its JSON API. The only real non-free thing we have is the control panel GUI.

Kids do those things everywhere but there's a difference in intensity. I agree about VCs. In my experience the coastal cities do not have a monopoly on talent but they do have a strong monopoly on investment capital for new businesse

Am I the only one who finds this creepy? Of course I also find all these home voice assistants with always-on microphones unbelievably creepy.

Wait till your kids are teens and they have nothing to do but drugs and video games because there is nothing else within 200 miles. The parent poster is right: most of the USA is cultural wasteland. It's also largely an entrepreneurial

GOTO considered harmful is talking about spaghetti code with no higher order control structures, not about GOTO as a language feature. There are appropriate cases for the use of the latter. Lots of quotes get abused like this. Another favor

Those are directed attacks not random collisions.

Hash collisions are really a non-issue. A collision in SHA-256 or larger spaces is less likely than being, say, struck by a meteorite twice in one day. When you get up to 384 and 512 bit hashes you could content address the entire Internet

It's possible that backprop has more success for narrower bounded problems and is "faster," but maybe because it's greedy. Biological learning might benefit from being less greedy.

ORMs and RPC / self-documenting API standards are like the Korean and Vietnam wars of programming.

I did the math once and realized that the cost of a modest apartment large enough for my family in SF/SV would exceed my total cost of living in Southern California. SoCal is not exactly cheap. That's completely and utterly insa

Mobile could be more innovative if it were more open and modular. Think of all the hundreds of things that would never have happened on the PC if they were as closed as phones.

I guess I don't game much, but yes that can be added too. Still there is a huge gap between phone games and PC and console games.

Mobile devices are very constrained. The OSes are locked down, the screens are small, high CPU apps are out, and input is slow and cumbersome. After trying a lot of apps I have found that a smart phone has only a few functions: 1. Talking a

Look up things like Geos (graphical 8-bit OS) or look at the original Quake source code. The stuff we develop today is woefully inefficient compared to software of the past. I routinely use apps on my quad-core 64-bit notebook that are slow

Meanwhile most cities in the interior have a deficit of good paying jobs and young people are leaving. A lot of those cities would give anything for Seattle's problems.

I've asked it before but: how is this a desirable characteristic for a currency ? This level of deflation is as bad as too much inflation, though the problems it creates are different. Why would anyone actually use Bitcoin if simply s
