Why would that thrill linguists? I'm not saying it hasn't/wouldn't/shouldn't, but I don't see why this technology would have the dramatic impact you imagine. Is/was the same true for ASCII/Smallt

I don't see the dilemma. Content laundering as a service shouldn't be incentivised by the government.

What is this supposed to mean? You could replace "humans" and "AI", in either place, with "plants", "E. Coli", or "cane toads", &c. and it would make just as much sense.

Your entire line of questioning is disconnected from reality. How could you possibly think that the machine can do that? I'm sorry that that sounds so severe, but it's the best way I could describe it. Creation doesn't work t

For the same deflection, I assume. The device effectively measures mechanical strain at the surface of the PCB. The surfaces of a thicker board will experience more strain from bending because the radius of the curve (at the surface) is gre

Thanks for posting, I was struggling to articulate more or less that. (I welcome the increased skepticism on display on this post, but there's skepticism and then there's ... that)

I'm not saying you are wrong to feel distress or discomfort from reading words that resemble human language expressing pain, conflict, etc. -- but these things are just mimicking patterns of human communication. It's a very clever

I suppose, but (off the top of my head): - insulating high voltage lines isn't trivial - the conductor will be hot inside the insulation... - service cost of either system will be increased (by rather a lot, I'd guess)

You can get much more realistic results at a smaller scale for e.g. waterways using iterative methods -- simulating rainfall and erosion. I imagine the same would be true at mountain ranges using some model of your lateral forces to influ

Stringy code is my go-to example of a code smell. You can do it, it works and yes, as long as you write it correctly it will work correctly, but you're just kicking the can down the road, at best. HTML elements are naturally stringy an

The author is George Hotz, who most famously developed some iOS and PS3 exploits and got sued by Sony. I have litle interest in the content of this particular article and I think your evaluation of the article is fair.

Am I the only person who sees this as a negative? I don't want everything I do to be in the same place. This isn't a stance driven primarily by privacy/security requirements, although making e.g. compartmentalisation possible

Some of the mistakes/confusion being pointed out in the article is being replicated here, it seems. The article is not claiming that conditional branches are free. In fact, the article is not making any point about the performance cost
