Are you kidding? Are you somehow suggesting Facebook shouldn't be able to know anything about me given the amount of data they've sucked up over the last decade? Given I first opened my Facebook account 10 years ago and I've

I've never used FB Watch, but based off this comment I decided to go and see what it played for me. Video 1: Sheet Pan Chicken Fajita Crunchwrap (recipe video). My comment: I basically never cook and I would never watch a cooking video

The point is, it's like being impressed by a calculator because it can multiply two massive numbers faster than we can... no shit, that's the whole reason we use computers, because they calculate faster than we can... There's

These lists are always the same and never say anything new. Work hard, have goals, be focused, etc etc. No fucking shit. Everyone has heard this stuff X1000. The problem is, you can read the same shit again and again, but if you're not

Our DNA is NOT a trained deep net, nor is it a deep net period. Our DNA is a string of proteins which encode other proteins which gives the series of tasks needed to create and operate all the structures of the brain and body. The "tra

All of our knowledge of how to play games and so on has come from our current lifetime. We do not have a "genetic memory" that means we have learnings from cavemen or some other such nonsense. Our DNA contains instructions on how

That's not how any of this works. We do not have "millions of years" of information encoded into DNA. DNA doesn't store that much data. In fact, it's about 1.6 gigabytes only! And most of that information is basical

This guy didnt see the game where Alphastar had 1500 apm...

by saberience 8y ago
The APM maxed out at 1500 at one point, far in excess of any human, especially considering many human actions are meaningless actions or spam clicks. The AI could win based on inhuman micro with stalkers and blink. I would be far more inter

by saberience 8y ago
You can't compare the two. No human can do 1000 meaningful actions per-minute. Even when a human is doing 400apm, probably 100 of those are meaningless spam clicks. All of AlphaStar's actions are meaningful actions. So when AlphaS

Its APM maxed out at 1500apm which is far more than any normal human.

The algos you're talking about (BSc in CS) are trivial. I went to a research-focused college for CS and at Bachelors the algorithms you learn are not very complicated, they're only made hard by the students themselves not actually

by saberience 8y ago
I don't agree. Most people simply don't work very hard. For a motivated person, 1 year on their own time can easily be enough time to replicate a bachelor's in CS. When I did my bachelor's I was a young dumb kid who part

They do definitely hire many green card holders, I know because I was going to be one if their offer had been better.

The scala toolset is incredibly crap though. Ask the engineers on my team about the huge pains of transitioning to using IntelliJ from Visual Studio, or the joy of trying to make SBT do what we want it to do, then trying to use Maven instea

I loved, loved, loved the feeling I got from playing Marathon. It's so hard to explain now but those games had a level of atmosphere and story that I still find almost uncomparable in gaming. I remember playing the Marathon 2 demo agai

Remembering the story in Myth and Myth 2, the music, and so on, still gives me major nostalgia. I loved the story of the Heron Guard in Myth 2, amazing.

The new A12 processor comes very close in the same benchmarks to the best desktop processors, not mobile specific or phone centric benchmarks. I don't know why you persist in your non factual and biased comments. "What is quite as

by saberience 8y ago
It absolutely is comparable to desktop processors. The latest A12 bionic is more powerful than the average desktop CPU in use across the world. That's not saying it's better than the BEST desktop CPUs, but then, 99.99% of people d

As of the latest versions of .net core, it's definitely faster than Java and it's not even a contest. Oracle is asleep at the while and the new version of Microsoft is pushing C# and .net much harder. https://benchmarks
