Why, cosplay is much more easier and pleasant than the actual thing, especially in the age of social media and role governed behavior - the age of cosplay. You wouldn't believe how many idiots are cosplaying scientists, leave alone all

I think everything boils down to finding an actual demand for your skill set. As long as some organization or an investor has a real problem to solve and you could convince them that you really have the ability and necessary training and ex

Not at all. Erlang's approach to concurrency has been well-researched and validated (Akka). Async, await and friends are mere standardized kludges - popular syntactic sugar without clear semantics and real world connection (explicit m

This is what happens when coders are rushing to code without real understanding what they are doing and why. What is worse - they borrow "features" without understanding from amateur JavaScript projects or C#. What a bloated mess.

Now, please, try to think about to what degree (how many orders of magnitude) the Whatsapp ecosystem, which has been build on top of OTP, are more efficient in terms of data throughput, resource usage (both memory and CPU cycles wasted on t

Competition in general. War is just one form of it. So-called Cold War and Arm-racing is the most recent examples. Continuous competition for everything, not just survival and reproduction, is what makes evolution (biological or social) pos

I hope they will look at Erlang/OTP instead of Java EE for inspiration.

MIT Scheme, Common Lisp, SML, Haskell, Erlang. Scheme - it's so concise, clean, Wow! CL - LOOPing macros, SETF, OOP is just a bunch of slots and macros. Wow! SML, Haskell - static typing done right. Wow! Erlang - Wow! Scala - concepts

OK, I will try, given that I am mere a poor asshole. The classic literature (and Atlas without any doubt belongs to so called modern classic) much like classical music, is a complex and highly artificial phenomena. The word for referring to

Time to re-read Atlas Shrugged? Remember the complains about Colorado?) They will always say such things.

In the 21th century educated techies should understand that Trump is not a mere candidate, but a product of a set of image makers, speech writers, psychologists and whole bunch of deceptive and manipulative techniques applied. Basically, it

Someone got financing for a crowdsourcing of data mining of commercial data set. Very clever. It seems that only very few nerds are taking the theoretical impossibility of predicting the future seriously and we are missing the opportunity t

My point was in my first comment. OK, tell me, please, what it is that you can predict? That some John Doe, having the first class ticket in a cabin next to the exit would survive the collision of the next Titanic with a new iceberg? That b

> All models are wrong, but some are useful. Exactly. All predictions are wrong and make no sense for partially observable, multiple causation, mostly stochastic phenomena. It will never be the same.

This is only one of many aspects of that event. The data reflects that the efforts of organized evacuation in the beginning were efficient. But any attempt to frame it as a "prediction", an accurate model of the event or adequate

Why not. I remember a paper which compares the behavior of foraging ants (they send more or less ants according to the rate of returned with food) to adjustment of the window size based on the data rate in TCP. Simulations are not experimen

There is a very important notion from The Sciences of the Artificial book by Herbert A. Simon, that the visible (to an external observer) behavior of an ant (its tracks, if you wish) is not due to its supposed intelligence, but mostly due t

Correlations does not imply causation. There were many more relevant but "invisible" variables, which, probably, related to some genetic factors, like ability to sustain exposure to the cold water, ability to calm oneself down to

Because otherwise it should be called machine hallucinations? The process of learning could be defined as a task of extraction of relevant information (knowledge) about reality (shared environment) not mere accumulation of a fancy nonsense

Lol. Predicting the survival of passengers on the Titanic is meaningless and misleading - there is literally no connection to reality, despite the framing of the task which suggests a certain connection. There is absolutely nothing that cou

Ridiculous. No single trader could affect the whole market - it does not work that way. This is another example of how wrong the current models based on traditional assumptions and academic theories are. If a market could be nearly destroye
