But chess has a clear goal. It makes sense to consult a machine that is better at reaching that goal than a human. What is the goal of art and what does "better" mean for art? (I admit that I intentionally misunderstood your post

I thought the same about my passion for Lego-style construction toys. Then, as a 25-year-old, I had to build something out of cardboard with people about the same age. It was really surprising to see that they had no intuitive understanding

There were datasheets with the instruction set? But why does the article say that they were, until very recently, not sure whether it's a microcontroller?

Indeed. Looking at the benchmark results, the conclusion should be that the overhead of object creation can be neglected for most types of applications (until it can't, as you wrote). Edit: Based on my experience, object creation is ri

It's controversial because it is often more dangerous to drive on a bicycle lane, at least outside the Netherlands with its well designed bicycle lanes. There is a higher risk that car drivers will not see you when turning right at a c
