   Your approach to defining an endgame is interesting, but I think more thought has to be put into the deconstruction of the goals, and looking at the cost of policies long term. IMHO, A) Too much credit is given to the leadership when it com

   What is the difference between TextWorld and a design system for interactive fiction games like Inform [1]? It seems to be that the former has natural language processing/semantics integrated, while the latter relies on a rather ol

   I just had a quick look - indeed, the level of detail in the ripgrep blog post is impressive. Many thanks for the link!

   Interesting article. Out of curiosity: how much optimizing potential is in the software that was programmed by Burntsushi in Rust?

   Indeed, I meant disease. I meant the title, not the article itself. So much for making quick and precise comments on HN.

   The infection with the HIV virus leads to the AIDS decease. It is sad to see that even the NYT can't get things straight when it comes to science. I am very curious about the paper/data. For now, the typical newspaper headline

    Exciting! How long was this language in development? In what language was the compiler originally written in?

    If my memory serves me well, it is not chlorine, but the product from hypochloric acid[1] and urea/urea-derivatives that that make eyes hurt. Although, I don't know if they use Cl2 as reagent here. [1] Hypochloric acid is generate

    Indeed, what a brave New world. People do not forget abuse on such a level, and collective trauma does not go away overnight. I am sure there will be more sadness in the future, when people will discuss effects of the repressive policies on

    Sorry, there are two separate questions here: A) the use of a technology - a gene drive - we have no full control of in the wild B) the act of eradication of a species to help to lower the loss of human life in Malaria affected regions. You

    Classical ad hominem argument . Attack the people who make the immoral choice of thinking about the fact instead of blindly going forward and doing it, regardless of the cost. Perhaps it is worth to consider carefully before eradicating

    A very entertaining and informative essay. Could perhaps someone try to elaborate on the calculation of buffers needed per chip? Quote: To a physicist this may seem natural, but to a computer designer, treating a set of boolean circuits as

    It would be worth looking into the details of the numbers here, how profitability was actually achieved. On a mobile here - did anyone look out for financial statements?

    We looked very briefly into energy storage and resource production (mining). The scale is the problem. At the end, you still end up with lots and lots of inorganic material, which is toxic for the environment.

    Wonderful article. But it was not only the 1970s: there were still many a hidden spot in Asia in the early 2000s, as travel was restricted in countries with civil war, or dictatorial regimes, and there still are. As those geographies get co
