As Minsky has said, parallelism isn't worth a damn thing if you don't have better heuristics to prune the search space. If you have a million processors to play chess with, and your search tree still has a branching factor of thirty, you're

Oof, my bad. It was New York 7, no insertion of digits, same as SF.

As described, there's no actual extortion going on, just a bunch of positive reviews disappearing off of a page, and a bunch of hearsay. Is this sarcasm? Trolling?

Here's why this is disgusting: Reviewing their Second Avenue Subway promises, one thinks of the solemn and almost-always-broken treaties made with Native Americans, or what historian Helen Hunt called "The Shame of a Nation." The Second Av

You'd think so. But at Songkick, we thought that the friction point would be people installing the plugin, and it was surprising how many people downloaded it, even not knowing entirely what it did. (One thought that it would play free mu

I was going to give you a snarky answer, because one of the preconditions for the paper is that it's CPU vs GPU operating on an in-memory database (so there's no disk access by definition), but in thinking about it perhaps it's not even CPU

This is really cool, but something doesn't smell right. 1) They give numbers from a single-core CPU implementation, and from a many-core GPU implementation, and they discuss numbers from a many-core CPU implementation as well, like some of

That's crazy-backwards. The IMs are 1kBit of data, whereas a phone call (considering voice coding at 16kBit/s for skype-ish quality) probably amount to megabytes of data having to go at near-realtime rates. It's good that they're still in b
