In CS 61A we weren't taught about Turing complete, we simply learned that expressive power is the ability to represent the abstractions you use to solve or model a computational problem correctly and efficiently.

And the only thing I've gathered here is kneejerk reactionism against "progressives" consisting of failing to read at the university level which lets them engage in projection by accusing people of attacking other people, rat

It's conservative because it excuses agency. It's given in the middle of my paragraph.

That cynicism is the basis of every form of conservative argument, of the form: "It is not practical/sustainable/expedient/pragmatic/realistic...(insert any other uncritical value judgment)... and the problem is bec

Not only privileged (in terms of outcome and socioeconomic status of a post-PhD career and family), but also rather ideological. The person you asked the question to casually equates "life things" with family, house, career. It&#x

The title is very inaccurate. The abstract is also misleading, their design is not even pipelined (in the paper they claim only preliminary results for a 2-stage pipeline). This is unfortunate because their idea of using BDDs--which are stu

The contribution of this paper is showing that given a hardware I/O test set, a Monte-Carlo type procedure can be used to iteratively construct a reasonably compact Boolean circuit representation (by manipulating BDDs). The toy example

Engineering undergrads are now required to take an ethics course at the university I studied at. Clearly they are all immediately disqualified from STEM hiring. I think what's actually going on is people in industry just take a dim vie

I think there's no contradiction that AA doesn't tackle the root of the problem (I think that is a half truth) and AA is actually what universities morally ought to do on their part, and that it is neither proven nor disproven th

My parent comment explicitly said that AA is harmful, and I see it like how people abstractly state that communism is harmful to the social fabric or something. Now give a relevant empirical example. Even a scientific study would suffice. S

Norm Finkelstein recently said the careerist trajectory of college education (in America, but probably everywhere really) has been steadily going on for over half a century, and it really is a loss for cultivating an freethinking public com

But what empirical historical example of "outcome equity" has proven as harmful in scale and magnitude as slavery or other oppressive, authoritarian social orders? How much of this concern is founded in actual history? Even one ex

That's actually bottom of the barrel reasoning in my book, to cave to the admins because Reddit admins would punish you. It's psychologically unhealthy, any therapist would tell you that.

Yes, being practically-minded (engineering-centric) was an important aspect and intention of the StateCharts formalism. But the disconnect today I think is because demographically on hackernews aren't avionics engineers or biologists,

I also said it was a matter of user expectation. There's a level of extractiveness that is acceptable for users, because users get information, entertainment, etc. in return for their participation on reddit. Of course, that's set

My university professors are low effort users. Some of them are even CS adjacent. Selective low effort is what those professors exhibit. But their ideas are valuable and worth publicizing. Twitter is an example of many low-effort scientists

It's a good example of poor reading comprehension. The actual question is "If reddit wants to charge 20M, then why not buy out the app?". It's a valid hypothetical question and a valid possible business outcome. There&#x
