I'm technically a Buddhist as with 90% of other Japanese people, but don't know anything about Buddhism. ("Technically" means that you're going to have a Buddhist-style burial which requires a registration by a Budd

What I think would be interesting is to introduce something like "GPL for Ads". If you have a binary, you should be able to obtain its source code. Similarly, if you see an ad, you should be able to see who's paying for it, h

I just found that this OP and the other two HN articles I've stumbled on today are somehow related at a deeper level - they're all talking about the creativity and intelligence in general. The Lesson to Unlearn - https:/&#x2

I don't deny this is indeed a cool project, but how is this related to their mission of "building a safe and beneficial AGI" backed by a billion dollar funding? They look like having too much fun with sidetracking (which is t

Unicode doesn't solve the underlying complexity of human languages, as you noted. I think the main contribution of Unicode Consortium is that they brought all the nitty-gritty problems of human languages into one central repository and

I mean, awesome for whom? It might be awesome for end users as you can type in or copy/paste things without caring which language you're using. But for programmers, Unicode is a bloated monstrosity and a source of endless nightmar

The more I read articles like this (or pretty much ANY article recently), the more I'm convinced that what we really need is: transparency. I don't mean just AI, but transparency on everything: Transparency from researchers, news

I have an opposite view: it's not that shocking that AI has advanced a lot. It's a lot more shocking to learn that humans aren't as great as we hope to be. Also, our prediction sucks. I mean, who said that go is such a diffi

I tend to think that ML is a kind of automated program generation that maximizes a certain metrics given by human. Some of them are based on real data but some aren't (like RL). So it's certainly more than a curve that needs to be

Also looking at the video, it seems that there's a subtle delay between pen touching and display (like 0.1s). This might stress you out in a long run. EDIT: Sony has also released something similar. https://www.sony.com&#x2F

I'd advocate a somewhat opposite direction. Require all the ad companies to show which ad is paid by who, and how much. This will probably kill some ads, but I guess some business still want to pay for the exposure of their products. P

I'm skeptical of the idea of static archives, especially when it comes to code. I think software is pretty much a living creature - with all of its environments and contexts and baggage. The only feasible way to survive it is to keep c

The real problem to me is the Climate TMI. There are just too many arguments/opinions/facts etc., there's no way to tell which one I should believe based on my gut feelings (which is the only thing I can rely on at the end of

Big ups for SQLite too. It's extremely easy to plug in (esp. if you're using Python) and rather performant. An added bonus is that you can run a simple query in SQL for free . It's just as easy as awk. If you do small/m

There's a more elusive issue in translating English into Japanese that's often overlooked: the two languages have very different "axes" of freedom. One of such examples is honorifics. Japanese has a massive variety of wo

Can I just list my favorite non-technical books here? Richard Feynman, What Do You Care What Other People Think? - Probably no additional description needed. It's a kind of sequel of Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman! but has a mo

The three characteristics in OP reminds me of PHP. 1) It was aimed at people who aren't that much of a programmer, 2) it made them feel empowered, and 3) it just works in a relatively simple setup. (I'm posting only because I thou

Totally, off topic, but it's funny to think about what kind of the feature would be if we put "un-" on each syscall: unseek unselect unpipe unsync etc.

I don't see if it's all that "simple". They just found that we use the same information flow for doing a complicated task, but that applies pretty much to a computer; when it carries out a difficult task, its execution l

It's off topic but I seriously want Apple to use a VCS for their license agreements. Every once in a while, they update Developer License Agreement or Paid Application Agreement (updated over 100 times so far), and every time they just
