I met Hotz at SpaceX, and can assure you he's not as cocky as this article makes him out to be.

I'm curious to hear your opinions on Numenta's work on emulating parts of the neocortex.

"Notably missing are the Beatles, who reportedly wanted to contribute "Here Comes the Sun" but couldn't secure permission from their record company." I found this line hilarious, originally taking it to imply that t

From the wiki: "Fulton first used instrumented dummies as he prepared for a live pickup. He next used a pig, as pigs have nervous systems close to humans. Lifted off the ground, the pig began to spin as it flew through the air at 125 m

As a happy emacs and xmonad power user, I'd love to see more of both! Why so defensive?

Though I agree with your sentiment, I must mention that there is nothing "weak" about Python's type system. You likely meant "dynamic", not "weak". See here: wiki.python.org/moin/Why%20is%20Pytho

See "succinct data structures" and "wavelet trees" for a similar / more general idea. news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7079427 I also must thank Edward Kmett for introducing me to these.

Both Guix and Nixos allow your system to be defined declaratively. This means that the details of reproducing your system state, given a declarative configuration, are fully handled by Guix/Nixos. So, if you like, you can consider the

Awesome to see this here! I've been using Nix/Nixos (which Guix is heavily based on) on my personal laptop for several months now. I'll never look back from the purely declarative system configuration - I finally feel like I

Either it's not that well known or I'm missing the point, but the BK Tree [1] seems relevant here. Haven't seem it mentioned yet. [1]: http://nullwords.wordpress.com/2013/03/13/the-bk-tree-a-dat

This reminded me of interesting work Cornell has done in evolving circuits that have no single points of failure [1]. One thing to notice is the emphasis on comparing the GA performance to other search methods (like hill climbing). It would

For those that might prefer a more functional/strongly typed approach, see Quipper (embedded in Haskell): http://www.mathstat.dal.ca/~selinger/quipper/ Unfortunately, the examples in the documentation aren&#x

Very cool to see Haskell being used more in the space space. I've recently built a command line tool in Haskell with a subset of these features for my team's testing: https://github.com/dangirsh/Auto I agree t

Purescript looks too good to be true. Does anybody know of any small projects that show it off? Don't see anything on GitHub... I understand it's a moving target but, besides that, do any of the other languages in its niche really

After using PLY in production and (afterwards) toying with Parsec for a side project, I could never go back to PLY. Even aside from PLY's obvious flaws (docstrings as code, mutation instead of returns, ample use of python magic backsta

This is somewhat similar to the List monad in Haskell: http://en.m.wikibooks.org/wiki/Haskell/Understanding_monads/... Bind is concatMap and return puts something into a singleton list. This allows "nond

That's prime. Can someone figure out what's actually going on here? Prime numbers with that many digits shouldn't pop up by pure chance... I'm sure you all caught this, but the first 3 in the sequence are also prime.
