80-120 is the case in at least New York, SF, SV, and Seattle/Redmond.

Coprimality is still the relevant property. But if one number can be adjusted, then the only way to guarantee coprimality is for the other number to be a prime.

Heh, whoops. Well, Hunch is double cool. (It's on my shortlist of places to think about applying if/when the time comes.)

Can't speak for Atlanta, but the situation in NYC these days is pretty solid. Great startup community, lots of tech meetups, organizations like HackNY, places like General Assembly, etc. The list of cool NY startups is long, and includes

A neuromorphic AI could be constructed without understanding how the brain actually works. You could run that faster, but even with a billion years subjective you still might not be able to come up with ways to improve your own mind if you

AI doesn't imply Singularity. Self-improving AI implies Singularity. It's totally possible to have e.g. a neuromorphic AI of roughly human intelligence that doesn't cause an intelligence explosion.

Bandwidth is so cheap that data/IP are effectively non-scarce. We've never before written laws governing the exchange of non-scarce goods. So the old laws often seem not to fit.

I once got, from a finance guy, in all seriousness: "So, you're the CTO...I guess you must have a lot of gadgets at home...?" My response was along the lines of "Actually, when I was in grad school I spent most of my time on theoretical com

Did you actually read my whole comment, or just the first few words?

Well, since we have one and not the other, I don't really think you can call that an open question.

Fun fact: The first use of those RFID tags was for a Stanford CS210 project. (I've had one on my keychain for nearly a year now.)

"Artificial Intelligence" is both an umbrella term for a number of CS/stats approaches to certain types of problems (graph search, classification, etc.), and also a term often used to mean the same thing as Artificial General Intelligence (

I can implement 2 in hardware by holding up 2 fingers. That doesn't make 2 a physical object.

Fiber slows digestion, which (according to my limited understanding) mitigates the blood insulin spike which is the main fault of fructose - but I wouldn't really call that mitigation an "antidote".

I voted for physicalism, but I don't really like this framing. I wouldn't say that, say, the Y combinator is a physical object. But I do think it's possible to implement it in hardware (or in software running on hardware). Likewise, our

So what you really mean is that looking good isn't worth the perceived cost to you. Your first comment gave me the impression that you prefer not to look cool, other things being equal, which was the source of my confusion.

Upvoted for amusing me, but I have to question this: >I don't actually want to look cool Why? What possible utility could you be gaining by looking worse? Perverse pride sounds more like a ex post rationalization than a real reason.

If num is an integer, it returns num + 0.5; otherwise it just returns num. I don't see why this is called 'round' or why it would be particularly useful behavior, so it's probably a bug.
