It's not what they want to do. If you want a sobering view into the life of a hikki, browse wizchan for a few hours. These are not happy people.

How difficult is this new standard going to be to implement in another language? It seems highly sophisticated -- which is great, of course -- but the cost of that is relying on giants like Facebook to maintain their One True Implementation

I think abandonment of the Von Neumann paradigm will be crucial for AI. For decades we have labored under the misguided assumption that the brain is isomorphic to the Von Neumann architecture, with "memory banks" and "process

How about 1/(x * ∞)? Only works if you allow (0 * ∞) = 1, which is admittedly quite shaky.

Here's a nice quote for your personal collection: "The more constraints one imposes, the more one frees one's self. And the arbitrariness of the constraint serves only to obtain precision of execution." - Igor Stravinsky

I'm hesitant to answer for nikolay, but my guess is that he has indeed made such choices -- one of them being to live according to the doctrines prescribed by his religion. Rigidly adhering to dogma is something that many people take p

One of the things I love about art is that it is almost defined by its resistance to definition. You say "art has to be beautiful," and art says "no, fuck you, a urinal can be art." You say "well, art at least has t

Seconded. I'm not sure if this is common for other languages, but I use the Go stdlib as a reference for what good Go code should look like. And reading it often reveals little language tricks that I wasn't aware of. Example: The

I imagine that would be quite difficult. As far as I'm aware, we currently do not know if your brain is doing the same thing as mine when we hear songs in our respective heads. So first you have the problem of extracting the informatio

The biggest failure of such people is that their own conduct serves as a terrible advertisement for the sort of worldview they promote. Look at these people: do you see happy, healthy, mindful, compassionate, self-confident, well-adjusted h

There are a few nascent cryptocurrency-based prediction markets on the horizon, Augur being the most well-known. If one of them takes off, it could influence our economy and society in a big way.

Hmm. That's an interesting counterpoint. Suppose we discover our universe is a simulation. This would imply that the universe is Turing-computable. Would there not therefore exist a "Grand Unified Theory" that simply describe

If you really care about durability, your best best is erasure-coding + a wide geographic distribution of shards. For example, you could encode 1 TB of data into four shards, each shard containing 500 GB. You distribute these to servers in

For the most part I agree with your sentiment. You make a good point about the parents being as sucked into technology as their kids. Regarding books though...is a book objectively "better" entertainment than a video game? Both re
