Brain drivers are reality as a service Some pretty hilarious and/or thought-provoking headlines! LSTMs capture so much about the input (compared to N-grams, say), it can be almost eerie.

I feel like I'm missing the punchline. How big is the generated font?

"Enhancement" meaning tone-mapping? Are neural networks really required for that? Seems like a lot of heavy machinery for the resulting filter, but maybe tone-mapping standards have gone up.

I love the idea of binary ASTs as the things browsers compile instead of source, but I don't think making browsers even more complex is worth it. These new binary files would also be yet another type of asset to serve alongside your .

I'm really excited about the Graal model and especially Graal.js. Here's hoping for a world where Graal.js is released as open source and runs on an official JDK release! Then we can do all sorts of wizard magic with JS in the cl

I'm confused about whether the "WTF your crap is crap" example is exaggerated or true-to-life. If true, I would leave that job, or at least report to management that I'm unwilling to work with that person and be treated

Not entirely, but I think that would be hard to do in a comment box! Thank you!

Thanks for the reply! So do you have first-class support for video as well as images? It seems like to have fun with video editing in Luna, you'd need to have built-in support for videos an inputs and outputs, and have a way to play t

Can I implement pixel-level video effects with Luna (e.g. warping, time map, segmentation, keying, etc.)?

"Hidden" isn't the same as implicit. State might be hidden in the sense that it is encapsulated. For example, sometimes we want to treat a text field component as just an "editor for a string value," without worry

I've looked into Elm a little bit, read the docs and watched the videos, and I tend to agree with the first paragraph. The architecture is mostly about how to handle updates to a single state machine and render it. There is no deep i

That's part of it, for sure.

I'd rather have real threads available in my language, and use shared state sparingly. Your N single-threaded processes have to talk to each other anyway, or at least to a master, and might even share memory through memory-mapping. T

Got it. I immediately had a bunch more questions, some of which I tried to answer by playing around with the demo. Is "this" the actual DOM element? (Yes.) Then how is "context inheritance" implemented? The section nam

by dgreensp 9y ago
Sure thing. :) One thing I'm not completely clear on is the reactivity model. It seems like setting $components (for example) triggers a setter that updates the DOM? What about other DOM properties? What about underscore properties?

This is a thought-provoking new framework, thank you! It's novel and easy to understand. Having worked on sophisticated React apps, I've come to understand the benefits and shortcomings of its architecture. One insight is that pr

Resources for getting started with Electron+TypeScript are still not great, contrary to the tone of this article. I'm working on getting electron-compile up and running, and I currently have compilation but no type-checking. I don&#x

Thanks for bearing with me, and responding, even if it might be more efficient for me to wait and read the next parts. It seems like if the quicksort of a list L is defined as equal to the concatenation of 1) the quicksort of the subsequenc

I mean "state" in the sense that we can distinguish time-dependent systems with internal state or memory from time-independent systems, whose outputs are a pure function of their inputs. Combining pure functions to create pure fu

Great article, and I look forward to the next! I've been meaning to learn about TLA+ for a while. One thought I didn't see expressed, in all the comparisons of tools and approaches, is that sometimes you don't care about time

Matter to whom? Mattering to myself was an important step in my personal growth, and there are other people in my life who think I matter, and people I've never met who simply believe we all matter. How sad to convince ourselves not t

What you're talking about -- writing an interpreter that's optimized into a compiler -- is actually coming in the soon-to-be-released Java 9. Check out Graal and Truffle. I'm pretty excited to play with it at some point. Pr

This is actually one of the better presentations of this idea, and it gave me a better handle on it. Here's one way to look at it. If you accept the claim, "My conscious experiences exist, non-physically," which seems true,

This. Can we remember that Apple is making a box with fans and a motherboard? It takes them five years because they have to be inspired with some original concept that marries form and function, and then deliver something novel and daring

As a parent, it seems like a glaring omission that most crying is done by babies. It's right there in the article that humans have the "most dependent babies," and signaling behaviors are often repurposed responses, so it&#x

Heh, I'm exasperated with the author too, but only because they published their absurdities. I don't judge people for having absurdities in their heads. As a semi-anxious person, I've found it is useful to deconstruct this s

No one wants to see our true self? Maybe not. Or maybe you are missing the fact that friends who say, "be yourself" have probably seen bits of your true self and liked it, and are just trying to cut through your anxiety. You&#x

The subject of how bad Slack's search is comes up all the time in talking to friends and co-workers, and I wonder if the described ranking changes are enough. Usually when I'm searching, I'm looking for a particular message,

Processing absolutely does remove minerals, along with vitamins and fiber, such as when you make white flour by removing the "bran and germ" of the wheat grain. Most often, one particular part of a food is extracted, potentially
