8 pages now? It used to be 6. Anyway, 8 pages can fit a lot of explanation/discussion. Also, keep in mind that AAAI is a conference, where you are supposed to present promising research that you are still edging out. Finished works are

You are confounding reproducibility and repeatability. Repeatability is the ability to repeat your exact experiment under the same conditions, whereas reproducibility refers to other people being able to reproduce your experiment under sim

You picked a bad example. The actual source article is published at... arxiv. From an academic perspective it is worth exactly as much as a blog. Academic literature has many problems but it is way above the blogosphere in that regard. And

Well, probably not for such a broad description of "ungameable", but there is an entire research field dedicated to try and come up with such algorithms/systems: Mechanism design! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki

Followup: I suspected that this problem should have been studied in the academic literature. Indeed it is, and this seems to be a good starting point to read about it, if anyone is interested: Sabotage-tolerance and trust management in desk

You cannot get 100% guarantees, just like you can't even with centralized builds (what if your build servers get hacked?). However, you can devise many schemes to improve the probability of builds being correct. For instance, some kind

Sounds like the perfect excuse to ensure repeatable builds. You send the build task to n different builders, and compare outputs afterwards. You could evwn send n build commands and call it done once you receive k<n identical builds... a

It depends on whether you want to follow RFCs or not. Particularly, RFC 4021 [1] states that: Header Field: From Specifies the author(s) of the message; that is, the mailbox(es) of the person(s) or system(s) responsible for

I can see that. However, if I'm not mistaken, branches are costly only when they're mispredicted. Hence, the question (as I see it) is wether one can better predict the behavior of Linus' better version (which only has one co

I'm not a low level programmer, so this is a honest question. In the better version, why doesn't the while condition (that must be tested at least once) present predictability problems whereas the if check in parent does?

I completely agree with you, but also make a distinction between red-crossing and green-crossin pedestrians. 1. Law-abiding pedestrians are the top priority to save because they opted for the lowest possible risk offered in our society. 2.

The easiest way is to filter based on the "Delivered-To" header (click on "view original" to see all headers). No amount of BCC'ing affects that header because it is set by gmail itself, not by the emitter.

I totally agree with you on the core issue. However, I would reject your `chunks` function in a code review and tell you to use `grouper` form the itertools recipes [1]. More generally,any time I've ended up with a long list comprehens

Wrong. 2000mg/Kg = 2g/Kg, two grams of the chemical per kilogram (1000g) of the subject. To give you an idea, that's 160g of chemical for an 80Kg human. Quite a lot, but nowhere near impossible to consume...
