Same question from me. At what point does dedicated hosting become more efficient than encrypted everything?

No. Horoscopes are not real, while various biases are. Please stay out of the teaching profession!

this is hilarious and also a great idea. i dont see any reason why you can't play a few million games against itself and other engines and see where it takes you. less efficient than alpha zero probably, but how much so?

I thought about this over the weekend, and I have two comments. First, to commenters, this kind of dead end happens at all large companies, so it's unfair to criticize this individual or Google without taking into account that the sa

Yes, the article ought to mention the downside of grey thinking. The way forward is found by closing the gap between ambiguity and certainty. "All progress depends on the unreasonable man".

The thing about perl I still miss is the metaprogramming. It's really amazing to be able to launch a program that writes the "last mile" of code before it starts taking requests.

Amazing really that the optics at the repair site are still good enough to carry the bandwidth.

You have to be patient and read past the inaccuracies and hyperbole in these physics reports. This is the first I've heard of VO2 and this surprising behavior and I think it's an amazing advance.

Tesla is deeply invested in self driving technology. He discussed the importance of data in the project, and he believes that Tesla is collecting 20x more data than any other player. He also believes that driverless will be more than 100x s

Some really insightful discussion of the possibilities and limits of ML can be found on Les Fridman's AI podcast. Especially good were interviews with Yann LeCunn, Jeff Hawkins, Elon Musk and Francois Chollet. One memorable quote from

I like the solidity of openbsd, but I'll defend linux here in two ways. First, the gpl2 license. There was a time when linux was way way ahead in terms of functionality, and in my estimation it was due to the copyleft licensing. It ope

To me the issue is that the data model should be defined in a single place. If you're using foreign keys, then the development process needs to take that into account and provide a sensible way to modify the data model in a way that th

Good read, I like that he expanded on the assumptions we make when we include a dependency. However, I think his treatment of dependency upgrades is a bit confused. Of course Equifax should have upgraded their struts dependency, but that is

Sorry, very inadequate treatment of this story. Golden rice is intellectual property, whose seeds are no longer owned by the farmer who grows them, but by whoever is selling it. Think about it, can the root of the problem be the nutritional
