Do remember to actually delete paragraphs though. I've seen long-form articles that were really just several short-form articles that are linked together by a listicle format. If I'm lucky, there may even be a few transition phr

I've ran a Paranoia campaign where the players were all High Programmers. Technically, the players could reprogram The Computer, but they usually refrain from doing so, partly out of fear of offending all the other High Programmers and

Machines do not have to think or see in the same way as humans. To dismiss machine capablities simply because they do not resemble human intelligence seems hopelessly naive.

This library was originally created in 2015 by Mark Rickerby (maetl) and was used to generate gamebooks. I forked the project and enabled Calyx to write "data-driven narratives" (robojournalism). I hope to have my changes merge in

"I've said this to tons of people privately and publicly: entrepreneurship has become the new "I'm working on a novel". " An interesting statement to mention. In the distant past, writing a novel would be seen

But if a computer is able to do the same thing as a human does (answer a simple question with pattern recognition and sentence parsing), then the internal mechanism of how a computer does it seems like mere trivia/jargon rather than an

>I think it is too much to call this "capable of basic reading comprehension". Surely, "simple sentence parser can answer reading comprehension questions" would be more correct? We test whether a human have "basi

While the article is informative, it's also an ad for a recruiting agency, and the advice has to be interpreted in that light. Still, if this is the future of "native advertising", I like it.

Ideally, you will learn from a bootcamp how to self-teach yourself, so you would not need to spend more money on a second bootcamp.

This is how I would imagine the 'fierce shark' being programmed: 1) The "fierce" plugin is installed and immediately run. It is targeted on the shark sprite. 2) "Fierce" is an evolutionary algorithm. It will cr

I accept your apology about being aggressive, especially since I may have been a bit too empathic myself (about work). The "lie" is about you saying that when work is done, people move on. I think the truth is that people say work

Honestly, I do agree that reinventing the wheel is rather meaningless and silly. But the problem is that other programmers and engineers don't. And I'm pretty sure there are some open-source Slack clones out there, so money isn&#x

"When the work's done right, there's no work to be done and we move on to something new." The work is never done right. You talk about engineers and programmers right? Well they should know that their work never ends; th

Here's my entry. Code doesn't work because the offsite resource is not accepting connections from jsfiddle, but otherwise, I think it's a good proof of concept. http://jsfiddle.net/gedhry5o/2/

Yeah, okay, that's a fair enough point. I will need to probably figure out a better dividing line between "false advertising" and "outright scam".

I think there is a distinction between misleading marketing and scamming. If you promise "revolutionary AI" and only give the customer templates and algorithms, well, at least the customer have a program that can make websites. Th

The problem is that people's tastes differ, and what content someone will hate, another person will happily consume. For example, Brad Frost appears to hate 24-hour news network...I actually like them. Why? Because I find those 24-hour

Plans in general fail as soon as they hit cold reality. There will be problems with implementation, inglorious watered-down compromises, corruption, unforeseen consequences, etc. The funny thing is though that political radicals will not vi

A blogger created a calculator that allows you to determine (over a 5-year time frame) whether it is cheaper to buy an expensive robot and do automation or to just use manual labor and to save the excess in Treasury bonds. He found that whe

My comment was satirical too actually. The whole idea of thinking computers have created something "new and original" just by shoving together bits and pieces of human-produced works of art seems somewhat ridiculous. It's not

I like the ideas behind the blog post, but in practice, I do not care about design as much as I do content. Yeah, content is mostly terrible on the Internet, but the solution isn't prettier design. It's better content. And in fact

The main path going forward in improving Markov chains is expanding the individual "unit" that are selected by these chains. Current Markov chains only randomly select words to string together into semi-coherent thoughts, but what

I agree. If governments can't protect their private information from being leaked by hackers and whistleblowers, what hope do the average person have? Adapt to changing circumstances rather than hold onto outdated concepts.
