Most recent is the two kids of exchanged Russian spies who learned they are not Argentinians while on the plane to Moscow.

When I signed up on Twitter in 2009 these ToS in no way implied using my tweets as training data. Nor they are worded explicitly that way now either.

There were numerous bridge collapses without casualties. Naturally if one company could suddenly collapse 80% of Earth's bridges, direct deaths would be assured. It's great there isn't one for some reason!

I doubt it was competitive at any point. Setun had not demonstrated any practical edge in its generation and noone tried to reproduce it afterwards.

I know what it meant for but the evidence for its efficacy is thin.

One extremely common pitfall is that attempts to build dev teams in non-tech companies end up creating a clique of "big thinkers" who unfortunately can't code much themselves. They end up convincing the management to contract

Ternary is one of several crackpotry schools that were established in USSR. You'd have them write books on the subjects, rant in tech magazines… there even was an SF short story about evil alien robots defeated by ternary. Another big

Honestly if we can take one conclusion from current events, is this handwringing about military procurement is largely melodramatic. As it turned out Bradley fighting vehicle absolutely kicks ass despite a whole movie filmed to narrate how

The 787 was Boeing's own commercial project, what does it have to do with cost plus?

Fascinating. An anachronism worthy of steampunk novels!

I remember Tulip could handle pretty huge ones, though no idea if it can manage billions. https://tulip.labri.fr/site/

This is why Lenat and CYC had settled on micro-theories. They found it impossible to build a useful universal ontology so had to fracture them on domain boundaries.

There's a distance from knowing Python enough to find your way around in projects to knowing it enough to solve coding riddles. The latter requires the level of familiarity attained only with regular use. Plenty developers go by their

There's been some overlap naturally, e.g. Yershov or Hopper attending both types events early on. But hardly any of content in say TAoCP was considered AI at any point.

Not types, functions. Where the macro is essentially a forward declaration but the implementation is deep inside the code and is not exposed via headers.

Bindings generators exist in most other languages with same limitations. I would love to see how bindgen would handle a function call defined as a preprocessor macro that I mentioned. Because most likely it won't.

Now imagine a hundred or two functions, structures and callbacks, some of them exposed only as CPP macros over internal implementation. PJSIP low level API is one example.

How well does it handle preprocessor macros in APIs?
861.
by varjag 2y ago
They quickly become unwieldy on non-trivial APIs, with hundreds of definitions across dozens of files and with macros to boot. Naturally people would still get the job done but it's beyond simple.

That's not really "simple", it's on par with C FFI in about any other language (except C++), with same drawbacks.

No, not really. If you compare proceedings of even the earliest AI and CS conferences it is clearly not the case.

Historically however AI didn't mean a neural net specifically.

With change in leadership to GenXers and millennials I don't think it's an expectation really.

It is true. Stage 3 used to be a death sentence in early 1990s. It is survivable now for most kinds of cancer.

Not sure about the calls, since apparently millennials and zoomers never pick up.

Well neither IBM is doing much in terms of business machines lately. They are still a second tier giant with enormous turnover. They own a few pieces of popular tech either via acquisitions or licensing agreements but none that came from wi
