Fun philosophical debate :) AI devs argue that the man responding in Chinese is consulting a look-up table (input to output rule-book). Table-lookups aren't tractable for complex AI agents, and so must be boiled down to algorithms whic

IBM, Facebook, Nuance, and most importantly: Google Google Google. "Google Search Will Be Your Next Brain"[1] is a good start, plus it's follow-up[2]. Some lay-of-the-land, least-to-most cool IMO: * Facebook's interest i

Agreed, but it can be balanced. Dedicate 1h/d to learning, no more. Balance that 1h w/ new vs current tech. Some technologies really _are_ a major investment; while others are smaller improvements than is worth sacrificing your ex

How about in terms of adoption, momentum, team, performance, etc? Any insights / predictions on how Famo.us might stack up _against_ react-canvas?

I haven't found anyone else who uses it surprisingly, but Gmail Offline (Chrome App). I use it when online. It has amazing keyboard shortcuts (faster than Gmail proper), and then of course you get the perk that the data is offline once

Two things. (1) I plan to mitigate cheating where possible, for example hindering rapid-click. (2) Some players will play solo (in which you'd just be cheating yourself), and others will play in parties. I'm going to make party-building "ma

well web app is already built, and the Kickstarter's for native mobile app. no need to use the web app if you don't want to. But the reason I chose web first is (1) easy access to all platforms, (2) plug into web services and hooks. Eg, the

EW is badge-based, and iPhone only. This will be traditional SNES-style, highly social, and web first - then cross-device mobile. In all honesty, I didn't know about EW when I built this. When I saw EW after finishing the website, I thought

Oh, I see - you're clicking "Continue", which simply revives your character. If you want a hard reset, as in starting from scratch (deleting your tasks and restoring your tokens), which is discouraged really, you have to click "Reset" from

Resetting should restore your tokens to 8, it seems to be working for other people are you sure it's not working? Tokens will be used for buying digital items, flare stuff as with Farmeville. I might come up with alternative ways to earn to

I made that site because I couldn't find anything quite like it. Since making it though, I've found Beeminder, which is pretty flipping cool. Additionally, there's EpicWin - but that's only an iPhone app, no website or Android. I'm biased

Glad I'm not the only one to use Workflowy for that. It's perfect for the job! My lists are much deeper, and categorized within life goals. So I have a top-level item called "Move to Europe" with nested TODOs representing all that needs
