It's well known that machine learning is currently useful for solving some problems and irrelevant to others. As is the case with all existing ai algorithms. ML is not strong ai and nobody has ever claimed it was, so it seems to be an

All that glitters isn't gold. Wake me up when Microsoft makes a serious effort to make Visual Studio a cross platform development suite. We all know the only reason this exists is because Microsoft has little traction in the smartphone

I agree with your sentiment, I think the author makes some decent points but is pretty biased towards an aesthetic he prefers and the art tools he's most familiar with. The sf4 example is particularly demonstrating of that, people that

Samsung makes a lot of the components for the iPhone and other smartphones. Even if their branded devices crater, they'll be fine.

I think the iphone 6+ is about the size limit for fitting into pockets and holding it to your ear and taking pictures non awkwardly. Theyll need to figure out a way to physically expand and compact the screen to make a true universal device

I like the website design but shuffling cards is extremely trivial to code. Also cards are mostly used for gambling games and it's a huge security hole to use a third party api for that unless it's from a very trustworthy source.

They have some of the codebase in c++ already from minecraft Xbox and pocket edition versions. If they expect it to be a long term ip/revenue source they will probably want a unified c++ codebase. Hard to improve the graphics engine m

No doubt Microsoft under ballmer launched quite a few failed products, but they've maintained their monopolies and have made record profits in the process. Posted from my Zune

Yes please don't let your customers customize their watch face. One of the few cool things about a smart watch. Idiots.

Ah I see. I guess Haskell wrapper for Torch with diagrams doesn't sound as impressive.

Ok, how does this compare to machine learning tools in packages like R and the other api's out there.

Both Stallman and Assange's philosophies are hugely well known and influential. Most of the criticism thrown their way comes from how they court controversy for attention.

Well, if you're living off your savings to work on your startup, then it's officially failed when you'd rather get a job than continue to burn through your personal savings.

In my opinion logic, "deep learning", and everything else are subproblems. The real test of strong a.i. is intelligent code generation.

Linux desktop is and has been second rate for a long long time. Turns out unless there are corporate sponsors paying for development, open source software sucks. The OSS community is pretty much in denial about that.

Also, there hasn't been a full scale war with modern military technology in decades. So nobody really knows what actually works and what just sounds good in theory.

Because buying and selling drugs is a mild crime which carry too harsh sentences. Especially considering the awful prison system which makes no attempt to help inmates become productive members of society.

Yet another reason high-performance code will continue to be written in c/c++. Every abstraction layer from actual machine architecture severely convolutes the optimization process.

I'm going to join you here in the grey. Objective-C is a disaster of a language on many levels. Portable C++ is the smarter and better choice(and those few cases where it isn't is solely because of intentional and unethical desig

Seriously, this might be relevant to fresh out of college grads with no industry experience. But I have nothing to prove and see this kind of stuff as a waste of time. Why waste my efforts on contrived competitions when I can put them into

So the paper says yes, but offers no analysis on why it's potentially better or different from other models of logical reasoning?

This oversimplifies AI. The human brain is based on simple principles as well. The mechanisms of cells and neurons and neurotransmitters are not hard to understand in isolation. There is no principle difference between an AI that functio

"CompCert typically runs twice as fast as the code generated by GCC without optimizations." Lol, That's like saying you run faster than Usain Bolt when he's walking.

I disagree. Programming is creating an efficient man->machine interface. All abstractions are leaky, the best programming languages balance control with convenience. There is a cost and benefit for every design decision. Disregarding
