I can understand why zero isn't a valid entry, but it should be. That is an entirely plausible result for a federal income tax calculation.

That is, indeed and of course, okay. I feel myself bound to note that such behavior as his is very much par for the course here on the "orange website," whose culture is strange even among its cohort. It's part of why the des

The author discusses this in his third paragraph, and states explicitly in his fourth that he considers the result faulty for its unrealistically narrow definition of elementarity. (I'm not a mathematician, so don't expect me to h

I haven't said that I'm not interested in video games! I admit these days I go deep rather than broad, but that's not the same at all as saying I don't play them. That said, while I can't tell with whom you mean t

On reflection my prior reply here may have come off unintentionally insulting, for which I apologize. The "stupid and misbegotten ideas about AI" to which I referred are those of putative employers at this time, no one else's

That's the one! Space oat opera, I suppose I should have said. Good grief, I wonder if it's held up. Oh, early Whedon, it's sure to have that "creepier than Tarantino" vibe at times, but maybe it'd be an inte

More than that evidently is non-obvious here. I am mainly concerned about the ruination of people. The fate of some niche and subparadigmatic school of ludic theory moves me little by comparison. (Of course I agree we need the humanities, b

It gets easier with time. Try not to develop AI psychosis before it does. I have had the regrettable privilege of seeing that close at hand quite recently, and it looks like something that can get to be extremely difficult to come back from

World of Warcraft damaged lots of people. My own circle saw a couple of casualties - jobs lost, marriages failed, promising professional careers left by the wayside, all for the sake of more time with that grind. The fellow I knew who hit

Ah, the real Marxist constant finally rears its head. Thank you for so well demonstrating the primitive contempt for humanity which your ideology requires. What a shame none of you has actually read or studied any of that "theory&quo

You know, I had come away with the impression of you as someone able to take embarrassment with good grace, to "walk it off" without either crumpling under the weight of unhandled insecurities, or letting your ego insist on turnin

Little late through the door on this one, my guy. I bought OP's perpetual license and helped root-cause a bug yesterday. I do respect the hustle, though.

Someone is still needed to decide what the AI should do, and to harness and manage it. A CTO can do that with existing skills, and the resulting organization should converge quickly on near-zero need or want for human SWEs. So goes the thin

Are you sure? In some mythologies, the basilisk is notably birdlike, I believe.

I had not known that! In a similar vein, there exists an Alice in Wonderland -themed Muppet Show episode, starring Brooke Shields, which has had to be left out of home video releases due to so far unresolvable music licensing issues. Not q

Now you're defending games from the 70s and 80s on the basis of technology and design attitudes from today. Your profile says you are a quantitative analyst. (I take this as reliable, since it does not also call you a rhetorician or hu

Those are not assumptions on your interlocutor's part. You've embarrassed yourself quite badly, I'm afraid. I know you don't understand how, but that doesn't change the fact of it.

I would invite you to notice your interlocutor's assumptions, especially as revealed in his prior comment. Look at how he misunderstands the situation: > If you wanted to convince everybody about a vast universe of secret business a

Thank you for explaining the joke. You're quite abjectly wrong, though. Text adventures were heavily advertised, in their illustrious and very brief moment of sunshine, as 'accepting English input' (cf. Maher, The Digital An

I can second the issue with the automatic color selection; with my background photo it cashes out to an illegible black on black, and there's no (obvious) option to change the theme or override the computed colors. It seems like it wou
