There is no real evidence that computers can be programmed to intelligently invent and act on their own thought processes. All notable AI techniques to date specify in exhausting detail the thought processes that the AI should execute in c

The answer to the question is yes, most chess players have accepted computers play the game better and don't care. High level chess will eventually just change the rules if forced drawing lines make it too dull.

Good art is expensive and he makes niche games. My gut feeling is that if he just improved the art without making sure the games appealed to a wider audience it would fail financially.

As someone who has been "diagnosed" with mental illness, I've found that the farther away from the reach of those quacks I am, the happier and more successful my life has been. YMMV

Minimal convulsions happen because they drug the hell out of patients before they are shocked. Otherwise they would be flailing around like a fish out of the water and writhing in pain like they were when they used to do the procedure with

They aren't nefarious in cartoonish villain type ways, they are nefarious in very boring and predictable human ways. Control over others, greed, politics, laziness, burnout, ignorance, ego and arrogance, narcissism. One of the poster

Ah yes, nothing dubiously ethical about strapping a patient to a gurney, administering tranquilizers(to reduce convulsions) and indiscriminately shocking the brain with high voltages. Everyone that volunteers for ECT is coached into it, no

Psychiatrists and their colleagues have been lobbying for increased discretion to detain people in spartan psych wards and administer drugs and other dubiously ethical procedures like ECT and lobotomies without consent or through coercion s

C really is a great language, its kinda funny how all the attempts to improve on it end up causing just as many pain points as they solve.

Only issue is that they don't have that much revenue compared to the amount of interest there will be in their stock so its going to turn into a speculation vehicle.

AdWords is and always has been the goose that lays the golden eggs, none of Google's other initiatives have ever rivaled that revenue. That's why they put so much effort into bolstering and optimizing their search results pages.

Things that don't support the ad business are never going to be very high priorities for google. Is a medical resource routing system going to pop out of someone's 20% time? Doubt.

Hijacking search results because they are sour the Yelp deal didn't go their way isn't competing LOL. They've already been fined billions for similar behavior.

What are you talking about stiff competition? Google just lazily cloned it and hijack the results of restaurant searches so they win by default.

by soup10 7y ago
It's worth pointing out that Google shamelessly cloned Yelp and funnels everyone into using their clone when they search for restaurants. If Yelp is in desperate spot its because Google put them there.

The main issue as I see it is that creatives and beginner/advanced-beginner programmers are very eager to standardize on unity and unreal but it's basically like wearing a straitjacket for advanced programmers.
