I don't think he's saying that you need to stop using MMX to use AVX. I think he's saying that MMX is old and SSE is much better, especially on x86-64 where you're guaranteed to have at least SSE2.

Thanks! I'm totally fine with the fact that you left it out of the article. The little bit of a story you did share just made me curious.

Clojure and Java interop works and that's great. What's really interesting about this situation is that there's one guy committing code in a completely different language from everyone else . Not only that, but it's a language that most wo

You may be in luck. The paper says: "Given this interesting first result, we plan to test a number of additional languages using the same procedures." Hopefully they'll use larger sample sizes too. This one involved 18 people across 3 group

Go version 1, the first stable version of the language and implementation, is due out early next year. That sounds like a good time to start learning.

If I remember correctly from my college AI days, thinking about upcoming turns and minimizing your opponent's gains is called minimax: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minimax I'm surprised that there was only one AI in the competition that d

It might be nice to read news articles this way. Start with the headline and expand the parts that interest you the most. I can imagine it being difficult to write that way, though.

It wouldn't be difficult to add new built-in functions for allocating and freeing memory manually. If you wanted to remove garbage collection, it would require a more significant language change. There are several constructs in the language

It's close. The only thing the author lists that it doesn't provide is manual memory management. It's technically possible, but the language/libraries don't provide it. Type safety and lack of generics make it difficult to provide a reasona
