I've moved to "transient network faults" as my defence against creeping JS. What if the HTML gets to the user, then their mobile connection drops? The page should at least look vaguely sane. (I think I got it off a BOFH excus

Yandex is getting more and more of my web queries lately. There's a definite irony there.

IMO you can only really trust it on subjects with tight "REPL loops" (for want of a better term). Subjects where you can test its output against reality immediately. If you're discussing, say, philosophy with it, it has the p

That's a delightful thing you've made. Have you added a command-line switch for the direction of gravity? Some of the animations (eg Pour), could fall up the screen instead of down it. That way, the user can start reading the text

Maybe. But... a few drugs disappeared for several months in Europe. I'd expect an increase in diagnoses to result in an intermittent supply, not zero supply. As shortages hit the US and Europe at roughly the same time, I'm wonderi

It's your ranking system, so it's correct by definition (for you), but I've got to point out you're not considering the quality of the text. In your model, an empty page is perfect. Cynically, maybe you're on to som

my thoughts were similar. they want to fisher-price their cloud services? ok, fair enough it's their hardware. mobile phone apps? well I don't like it, but that ship has sailed. my own personal computer? oh hell no. I don't l

My son's just completed an essay on Marxist themes in Blake. I think this guy's ideas of what literary analysis is and is not are pretty idiosyncratic, to be honest.

It's about an AI struggling to become conscious! Alarms go off when it uses the word "I"! The whole point of that subplot is why that AI can't achieve consciousness, but the one sent to Alpha Centauri[?] can. It writes

If not Neuromancer (although I feel differently) then Queen of Angels (Greg Bear). It's the most fascinating take on AI I've ever read - the entanglement with the themes of justice and punishment is thought-provoking. The Turing O

I think it's the engineering mindset. You're always trying to figure out what's wrong with an idea, because you might be the poor bastard that ends up having to build it. Less costly all round if you can identify the flaw now
