I was referring to the pattern and scaling issue the parent described, which are largely overcome in mature implementations.

In support of the requirement for high-fidelity (atom-for-atom) modeling is the notion that an evolved computer would converge toward behaviors that supervene on specifics of the host environment. If porting a binary to another CPU architec

It's interesting how far software lags behind hardware. We've had touch screens for ~15 years and we still don't know how to use them. I'm glad there are people pushing the envelope for direct manipulation UIs.

I hear from multiple of my small business owner friends, that they are unable to get people to come back to work due to this. It's hard to know what the overall distortion is, but it's definitely a good illustration of the welfare

But surely there must be more to the story than survivorship bias? Can intentions towards long term thinking have the desired effect? If so, it's reasonable to consider what strategies and tactics are most helpful.

Is this an early warning indicator that the cloud-to-edge pendulum has begun swinging back in the direction of personal computing?

I'm on record saying heterodox things about the Nyquist theorem and SACD 1-bit DAC, so you are on topic. :)

Our sensorium could be indistinguishable from how it'd be in a simulation without impacting my point. Software can hop from host to host (all Turing machines can simulate each other) but living intelligence is embodied. Because of this

My hunch agrees with the paper. Because computers operate on the rational numbers instead of the real numbers, they can never be embodied. They are always in a simulation...

The point is that you can't verify it. Sometimes HN humor is too dry for its own good.

My thoughts exactly. Seems like a great way to have a local DynamoDB for the team to collaborate with. I wonder how strong the sync to cloud story is.

This stuff got me thinking, if RegExp comes from graphs, why not use it to process graph databases. This paper is about a year old https://arxiv.org/pdf/1904.11653.pdf Can anyone point to open source implementations?

Logic is better than ProTools (not encumbered by legacy implementation). It is also the basis for GarageBand on Mac and iOS.

As a Philosophy major who has succeeded in tech, I think tech would be better off with more humanities people involved. Writing code isn't the hard part, when you are solving big problems.

If you are downtown at the pub, I expect it could ask you if prefer the delivery there.

I expect the delivery fleet of the future to look like an Amazon Locker on a self-driving e-bike trailer frame. You get a ping when your package is on your block, and use your phone to open your locker.

Dropbox won early on for having the same user-friendly affordances. I can't say if I was making Zoom, that I wouldn't err on the side of usability at first, also.

This happened to a local political debate I was attending. Disturbing to say the least. It's not hard to defend against as a power-user host, but the default case might be better locked down. Maybe this preference should prominent in a

My team, the financial services lab, is in an asset building role, so we are less sensitive to utilization rate than other groups.

It means if you are hired to work in the SV office, you won't be expected to interview in person, or work in person until the crisis is resolved. The roles are not remote roles, but there's no going into the office at the moment.
