   Maybe Paul Graham and Ycombinator getting famous. Or the MIT CS undergrad "intro to CS" switching to Python so the disgruntled undergrads no longer give 1-star reviews.

   Floating point numbers behave like rational numbers _with denominators that are powers of 2 only_.

   The Nokia 8110 4g, which is still not out, should do that. It's a little bit expensive though...

   Maybe they're just hoarding it for now, and eventually will give it to internet nonprofits

   Even if Facebook were completely evil, why not take their money? They will benefit from your research just as much even if you don't take it, because you're publishing it. Are you concerned that Facebook is telling the scientists

   >... actually, this page is a joke, right? The more I read on the page, no way that this is serious. Yes, I think it's very much a joke.

   All the violin virtuosi are probably on Facebook, so they can get us out of the bargain.

    I'm not so sure. Even prosaic, current AI, can be very unpredictable. See this blog post http://aiweirdness.com/post/172894792687/when-algorithms-sur... , which is a somewhat more causal summary of this paper

    There have been other instances of the AI box experiment where the dialog is public. Like this one https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/fbekxBfgvfc7pmnzB/how-to-win... . Yudkowsky's original intention to not relea

    I misread the title as "announces company building", as if they were going to build a Stripe campus.

    But you don't _have_ to buy a Windows device, and may just use a virtual machine.

    Huh, in what way was Theo right about Meltdown? Did he predict it? (just curious)

    Do you mouth the name of operators when you read code? Like most people I do make the words sound in my head when reading text but only the variable names make sounds when reading code.

    The title should be "it's" because it's a contraction of "it is". But that's exactly how it's written in the headline :(

    I thought that it was still technically the biography of a saint, and was only used as anitil's definition by way of metaphor.

    Presumably this is the length of some discretisation of the curve, perhaps one of millimeter-long line segments. (The exact length is uncomputable!) Really cool though!

    Thank you for the clarification! It's not exactly a "dot matrix" because the dots aren't on a grid, but I think that would be a much better summary. Also a better summary than "series of dots".

    Because it benefits the company to say so in PR statements. Also it's going to be hard to _completely_ replace human lawyers; you'll need general intelligence.

    > the combination of neural network topology + the training procedure sets up an implicit prior [...] That's what I got from the koan. Sussman thinks that a randomly wired NN has no prior, but that's false. Same as Minsky &quot

    I work in a shared office and it's OK. But that's just because we all know that focusing with other people speaking is basically impossible, so we all try hard to not make noise. If we have to talk we go to a conference room.

    >how does correctness transfer? The same way it transfers when the language is compiled to x86 instructions! By adding a pre-written and pre-compiled runtime.

    If you were using VR glasses, then no camera could capture your face and show it on the robot. It's probably better to control the view direction using the gyroscope on the tablet that you are holding with your hands.

    Yes, but the lab meat you're talking about is not made like ju-st thinks it is. Current (expensive) lab-meat is made by directly growing tissue, without growing a full animal. In contrast parent ju-st talks about artificially fertilisi
