The board game Glow kind of does this. There are only five symbols of interest which allows for having color coded dice with an additional side of that color (eg red dice have an additional fire symbol). Beautiful artwork, 4/5 game pla

Sure, but this approach generalizes quite well. Especially in ML you have have a lot of matrices, many of them of known size (e.g. convolution kernels). Also, while it looks like the matrix sizes have to be known at compile time, this is no

It is probably pretty presumptuous to assume, but I think that a lot of programmers that have only every been exposed to C/C++/C#, Java and Python have basically no concept of what a good type system can do for them. Two examples

I guess every "you sit in a cockpit" game works very well with HMDs ... there was an early demo of a Mechwarrior style game that worked very well (for me) in VR. For me the problem is that the resolution was always lacking. With m

<sarcasm> So ... time to implement fishcoins?</sarcasm> Analyzing a chess game or two is not exactly easily verifiable, but it should be somehow possible to shoehorn that into a proof of work thing.

If you count on the device running "forever", or at least until you pick it up again, you could also just store the key on the device and delete/destroy it (the key) on boot.

The problem with these projects is that they are all the hype for a while and after the hype dies down you are left with laptop that is only in theory upgradable.

There is the whole WEIRD participants thing ... of which I am guilty too, only because that's the crowd you can easily recruit for experiments on campus.

Worse in that a lot of researchers actually have only the slightest grasp on statistics. To the point that I would assume that a lot (1 in 20? :-)) papers will contain an error in their statistical analysis of their results.

While I generally agree with your sentiment, I find the windmill example a bit lacking. Two thoughts: (a) Wind mills _are_ relics from the past. They were replaced with [FOTM mills] as soon as better alternatives became available (probably

Yesterday there was a post about the Dracula theme ... and I guess I was not the only one who thought that there is probably a project that could "translate" a colortheme to configurations for many applications. Is this it?

I can see that you can easily miss that "gear up" light. I guess an alarm at that point might also not be too beneficial (you have to search for the cause of the generic (?) alarm). How about an "assistant" that calmly t
