Never heard of them, thanks!

Thanks for your comment. I don't think it's that hard. Take a middle/high-end smartphone phone. Install something like Maru OS (but preinstalled and with OEM support). That's it. I agree with the cooling problems, but a

One thing that has always astounded me is the fact that the following script can be executed without any special permission (apart from execution, read and write): rm -rf ~ A key to a more modern file system would be a much more gr

It looks super interesting, thanks! If I have any questions I'll let you know ;) (By the way, probably you have the coolest job on earth)

Thanks, this direction looks promising and makes a lot of sense.

Just read your comment, it looks a very promising direction. I'd be glad to hear your response to my comment: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20074750

Tangentially, I have a concern with neural-symbolic hybrids, surely someone can address it. Do you think that symbols produced by a neural network (in a complex enough task) will ever be comprehensible by a human? Because my intuition here

Noob question, having played around with CUDA and NVCC a bit: in languages such as Julia or Python, why does every algorithm have to be specifically adapted to be able to run on GPUs? Couldn't algorithms be written from higher level bu

Check out: https://commando.io , it is essentialy the SaaS you are describing. I'd pay for your service provided it had the following improvement over Commando.io: VPN support. Most SSH accounts I manage do require VPN. I do

In practice, computers and many programming languages are considered Turing complete because arbitrary (yet finite, obviously) amounts of memory can be added if needed. Eg. Java is considered Turing complete even if no JVM instance will eve

If computers are Turing complete, then humans are, too. Computers do not have infinite memory, yet they are usually considered Turing complete because theoretically you could keep adding additional memory when needed. The same holds for hum

That's really impressive! However, I'm a bit disappointed with the code release. I was expecting the full source code and setup.

I mostly agree with you, but still think that Python could be way simpler and equally powerful. I'd love to see a language similar to Python, but with named structs instead of classes, for instance.

That's right, but it's like buying stocks/funds. It's not the same investing in S&P500 Vanguard index fund than investing in an active index fund with high commissions and bad performance. You have to find the right

I see, probably the decision on investing in real estate should depend on the legislation of your country of living.

The middle class people I know who invested in real estate (say, buying one flat to rent it out) would counter your argument with the following two points (not implying that I'm in favor of investing in real estate): 1 - It does not im

I love Sage! But, which was the rationale to build Sage as a standalone programming language/environment instead of being more integrated into Python? I assume syntax, basically?

Pop evolutes. With machine learning we can create, say, every single combination of reggaeton, but every decade new styles appear. AI leveraging real creation requires AGI.
