Not really... All great game engines were spawned out of AAA titles. You should never try to build an engine without a set of games that stretch its limits in all directions, otherwise something will always go wrong. There isn't a sing

US universities are always amusing to me. You pay about 100 times more than for a German university and end up with an education where you have trouble understanding the content they teach in Germany after graduation, unless you come from a

I would say its a measure of maturity as a developer if you have no interest in touching something that has no use and is 99% hype. I would not have a problem of working on a useful blockchain in my job, however it remains to be seen if the

Interesting. I hope what the author says isn't actually done. So the computers generated a proof nobody can understand, but fret not, a second computer program can assure us of its validity. Well that's heartwarming. I hope they a

That sounds more like clickbait. Just as if someone took the latest marketing buzzwords and somehow tried to make a product out of it. If there was any meat to this, they would lead with the use case and say "Hey here: This is the prob

I don't know. For me Apple has lost major brownie points here. I will be looking for option of a non-iPhone when next time I switch. It remains to be seen how this hits Apple regardless of the outcome, but I think generally Epic will b

It will be inadmissable because of the psychological effects. Imagine having someone claim you murdered someone. Also you happened to drive by that park where the person was murdered at the same time. Now someone wants to frame you, perhaps

You really don't need to read assembly for any but the most rare cases. What you need is a profiler to give you the hotspots and you need to stop prematurely optimizing on a line-by-line basis. Just stop it. Optimize O(n) performance (

Would it? Great. Let's just all applaud, justify and support what is best for all corporations and see where we get with that, nay?

This sounds fascinating. Why didn't we have Google much earlier to teach us all how to replace a 3-4 year degree with 6 months of online course work. Oh and they accept it for their own hiring. That's really good, except that Goog

Yeah, except that when you pick a company to invest in you are not just picking randomly. Just because most companies perform poorly, says nothing about the ability to single out high performing companies. This advise is completely flawed.

Yeah this sounds cool. Essentially you could design a large spacecraft and put a fusion reactor in it (we will have viable, positive yield reactors soonish). It should be possible then to power a fusion drive as well by building a sort of &

I wonder how many people complaining here take their phone into the vehicle, or use Google Maps. Sure, the data from the car (whatever is included there) might give some additional insights, but these are very local (i.e. status of the car

"seem perfectly capable at getting at least that across" yeah, that's part of the problem. They already know that 1+1=2, or so you'd think. But you would be hard pressed to find a teacher who can actually explain WHY 1+1

Here is a crazy idea that needs to come before this: What if we taught our adult population to process their difficult emotions instead of suppressing them and stay active and move freely while working and studying. Actually, this already f

"No, they prove that people who are in a program that is very clearly temporary will not end their careers for a short pilot program. This means nothing." This is a really good point. But it will apply to the government program as

No it really wasn't. Nobody except tech geeks care about Servo. What Mozilla needs to do is to provide a privacy aware browser that doesn't inform Google (and everyone else) about everything we do online. They can easily go the pa

It's not. That only applies to the US & Canada. In a lot of other countries it can be extremely difficult to impossible to do something in case of credit card fraud. Besides that, entering card info is a chore. Same as I don't

Isn't that exactly the point? It's just extended a little, with "legitimate hobbies" and "normal socializing" not available. So take that away and then they are domesticated livestock? If you don't have th

Oh cool, so basically this is about finding a way to cheat your brain into doing things it doesn't want to do. Maybe a good approach would be to find something you actually like to do instead and reflect on your choices and priorities

Why does Mozilla even develop their own browser? There is inherently nothing wrong with everyone using Chromium as a foundation. Mozilla could use Chromium as renderer while still doing all the privacy preserving stuff they do. There is abs

Anyway, there are bigger problems in the world than Google. While I am not sure payment processing is more urgent that regulating Google, there are many other things that are orders of magnitudes more important to tackle than regulating Goo

Is this actually illegal? And if so, how would a court proceeding look like? I am pretty sure especially in the US, if you have money for a good lawyer, you can wiggle yourself out of this one pretty easily. Just imagining the jury overseei

Re-evaluate life choices if a 400k salary makes you commit suicide? He should have had enough money to do whatever for quite some time. Its tragic that he didn't but there are literally billions of people worse off all around the world

You may be right, I honestly don't know how this particular algorithm works. We may be closer to true AI intelligence than I think, but I am not sure anyone should wish for that. I am certain that we are still decades away from true hu

I honestly don't think consciousness is necessary for AI. Consciousness is more like an "invention" of humans to make themselves feel special. If an AI can understand consciousness and simulate it, that will be sufficient. It
