I downvoted you, because your entire comment is predicated on the fallacy of generalization from fictional evidence, and what I'll call "argument by pithiness".

I think "creative use of game mechanics" is a large part of what makes e-sports popular. Boxer (the Michael Jordan, or perhaps Babe Ruth, of pro-gaming) wasn't popular so much for his mediocre mechanics or even his good micro,but primarily

They have 4000 employees. If they cost (salary + benefits + taxes + etc.) $100k a year each, on average, then that'd be $400m.

When I used Unity at work, it would literally freeze every few days, and I'd have to ssh in from another machine and restart it. Tried Gnome 3 for a while but eventually gave up and went with Cinnamon.

You are the one submitting anecdotes (as well as exhibiting availability bias), not the parent. It's not anecdotal to claim that younger people have higher risk tolerance...they are less likely to have kids, mortgages, etc.

Google and Microsoft don't ask those kinds of questions. Both of them primarily ask questions related to algorithms and data structures, sometimes with a bit of software design thrown in. Source: I work for Google and have interned for Mi

Google has plenty of builders. AI is an insight problem. (I probably should have said "design" rather than "build" in my previous comment.) That said, I did nearly including Ben Goertzel in my comment. But I am familiar with Eliezer and

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argument_from_authority is still a fallacy, even if you said it a while ago. If Google wanted to build AGI, we'd hire Eliezer Yudkowsky and Luke Muehlhauser. Kurzweil is an evangelist and a public figure, but

I suspect that if your life isn't on track and you think everything would be solved by money, you'll be disappointed if/when you get it. But if you basically have your shit together and want to have more than a couple kids and be able to g

They may be periodic and repetitive, but they aren't uniform. For example, there are lots of "01"s and no "02"s.

>Uniformly distributed? Yes. Random? No. I think you're fudging what is supposed to be uniform here. In your example, the unigrams (i.e. single digits) may be uniform, but the n-grams for n > 2 are not.

So because solving a problem might require something that might be outside the constraints of physics, I'm implying that solving that problem requires violating physics? That doesn't make sense. Also, correct me if I'm wrong, but are y

You seem very confused about what "Singularity" denotes. You also seem to be confusing "the only way with current technology" with "the only way, ever". You also seem to be claiming that highly intelligent AI couldn't solve the upload probl

Having very recently switched to Sublime Text 2 (from Komodo Edit), I'm curious if this offers anything that can't be done with Sublime + mature existing plugins...?
