Evolution didn't know, too. But it happened. And we easily find criteria saying that thing doesn't behave like a toddler. It would be a huge step forward to see a list of positive criteria.

Even if there is a "solution" to aging there will be none to accidents. People not leaving their house to avoid dying in the streets sounds like human culture coming to a standstill.

Planning is only one of the solutions you need for an RTS AI. Exploring a tech tree and having a ordered list of actions + cost is quite useful. Also, a fast planner can run every turn or more often with updated information and may e.g. out

Interesting. Although going over an abstract representation harms the performance in a RTS game. I finally chose Nau's HTN planner to plan entire villages in a few milliseconds. The core in JavaScript fits on one screen page: https:&#

Sadly no umlauts, but the other alphanumeric keys are mapped correctly. Any chance for non-English keyboard support?

> difference between .call and .apply Well, at least it would give a hint whether the candidate ever touched meta-programming. All the other question are mostly about writing correct code, this was the only one about writing less code.

Interesting to see this posted here. S. Goddard is probably the master of cherry-picking in all things climate and turned it into kind of art. He virtuously exploits the fact that to debunk his assertions you have to come up with something

In the last 100 years food waste has amounted to 1.3 billion tons per year. That's almost half of the global production. There is clearly no need to produce more food to solve hunger.

On the last point: This kind of reasoning has been repeated over and over again with any "food technology" rolled out since the beginning of agriculture 12,000 years ago. Still people are hungry. Maybe it is time to find out wheth

Yes, I think that too. And if you investigate Maxwells' Damon and sleep deprivation there are some obvious similarities. Also I always wondered if you go up the tree of life from what point or amount of neurons sleep is actually needed

Honestly, I'd prefer less brackets or none. Just like natural language: Punctuation is enough to define contexts. The compiler/interpreter could point at ambiguous parts.

Very well said. I've started a few month ago on an AI/Bot for 0AD an open source game. Scripting language is JavaScript running on SpiderMonkey. So far I've accumulated thousands of locs, learned a lot about writing fast code

Interesting read. Extrapolating from how the network learned to copy and sort data it points a bit to a future with software engineers not coding programs to do the job but training networks with the right data instead. That would basically

I think intelligence highly depends on context. What looks smart here and now could lead to disaster somewhere else. Dolphins and crows appear intelligent only if they show human like behavior and choose the right lever to get perks. Would
