With coding (it's not really coding per se that matters imo it's more like dynamic logic writ large) it's a land grab strategy. They want to get established as the de facto standard and get a whole bunch of people on their pl

This post is really bringing me back! I knew talk of BeOS would stir up all us old heads. I think what we're all really nostalgic for is the days of tinkering with computers. When things lacked polish, and people put real effort into m

i've found the vision capabilities are very bad with spatial awareness/reasoning. They seem to know that certain things are in the image, but not where they are relative to each other, their relative sizes, etc.

If one were actually going to use something like this, I’d think it’d be worth implementing a little shebang script that can wrap a single-file script in the necessary boilerplate and call go run!

I'm fascinated by APL but man is it hard to get used to. I keep waiting for someone to build something like APL but sufficiently modernized as to actually be useful to me :)

This is awesome. While I agree with @oehpr on some of the details, I love the idea of marketing it specifically for the purpose of running events. Using Zoom for that seems klugey.

While I agree Medium is going through some growing pains trying to figure out a business model, I'm a bit surprised _nobody_ on this forum is coming to their defense. I personally enjoy Medium. I don't misattribute content to Medi

Nailed it, at least for the video I watched. Rahimi's NIPS Test of Time Award was swiftly condensed into a few minutes of magic, with all the other side-commentary swept away. Amazing work! Any details on how you did it?

That's really shocking, if he hasn't already done animal studies -- definitely hadn't realized that. Certainly didn't realize it was legal, even under Russian law, even on a near-death patient. Do you think that his inte

This seems simultaneously wonderful and horrifying -- how many deaths could be avoided if you could simply get a "body transplant" when things go south with your heart, liver, whatever? Neuroscience would gain a new level of impor

This. Most devs I know have Macs for precisely this reason -- software, not hardware. If anything, many would prefer the hardware (diversity) offered elsewhere.

I like coding from a Mac, but running on a remote Linux box, as it's usually the deployment target. Recently I've been doing a lot of Unity, for which I _greatly_ prefer OS X (to Windows, there is no Linux version even though it c

As a Gear VR dev I am extremely excited about this. This is a major step forward for GearVR as a platform and think it'll do a lot to promote openness among developers. Now if only we could do away with the walls on that garden...

For better or worse, in 2013, the government is also a privileged actor that can _prevent_ harmful things. One of the ideas of government is that we trust them to protect us. Thousands of years ago, you lived in your village with your sheep

I support PRISM but thing Snowden committed a crime, specifically unauthorized disclosure of classified information, which falls under the umbrella colloquially known as "treason." The latter is a matter of definition IMHO. But I

I'm a bit surprised that there are so few people who legitimately don't care at all. I actually don't care. I think it gives people a creepy, Orwellian-type feeling (because there were similar ideas in 1984) but the most sign

Bradley Manning was a member of the Armed Forces who released classified information to the public. What planet are you living on that his prosecution is unwarranted?

See the comment below for example of a NYC terrorist plot foiled by PRISM. And by the way -- why would I be accused of a FEDERAL CRIME? I didn't do anything wrong. If anything, _their collection of my data could be used to exonerate me

What exactly is "all this data" you're worried the government will see? What are you doing on Google and Facebook? I have this funny feeling the NSA doesn't care about your memes or JS plugins or whatever stupid crap you

"My brother got killed in a subway bombing, but at least the government can't read my facebook messages about porn and cat pictures..." REALLY? Could you say that with a straight face to a victim's family member?

"We're booked" saved my business. I was taking on too much business and finally decided to make a waitlist. I would tell people what # they'd be on the list and about how long it would take until delivery. That way I was still adding about

They do cut out BBG and charge their own fees. This is a huge trend in this industry.

They're not dedicated anymore, its just a program that runs on Windows. You get a special keyboard when you buy it. They don't have total vertical integration. Rarely do they own the data - most of it comes from other parties, either contri

I am in a similar space as BBG (fintech) and this type of stuff doesn't fly in our biz. Things are way too sensitive, and people are way too concerned with privacy for "typical" SaaS initiatives to be okay with them.
