Check out arXiv:1405.1548v3 The Cellular Automaton Interpretation of Quantum Mechanics Gerard ’t Hooft The author is very far from a crank, too, being one of the most important influences in the Standard Model...

There's another factor, though, which you missed entirely: larger SSDs have muchz much faster write speeds, and also read speeds. The parallel NAND chips provide a sort of intra-device RAID

FPS or more strictly, DUPS (display updates per second), as a function of resource use - that is, what pushes the most text, the fastest, with the most displayed frames (sent to actual display/monitor) corresponding to discrete states

We often don't even have appropriate language for many decision processes. See: research into those that do vs. don't have internal monologues (virtual voice, basically) when reading and thinking, and associations to creative th

It'll be that way at first, yeah, but once it becomes obvious how much better the AI drivers are, it will start to become irresponsible to not use it

No love for Xamarin? Being able to target Android/iOS[/WP, relevancy aside] (and UWP in part, with a shared logic codebase), is pretty nice. I rather suspect it will get full UWP support in due course, also. In my experience, it&#

by xorxornop 10y ago
Well, they (MS) have Xamarin, which is free, and targets Android, iOS, and WP. You could likely share a lot of the codebase with a UWP app also, since it's all .NET natively or supported (UWP supports other languages, eg. JS, C++ etc).

Because many users have no idea on how to find out what things are available and what's popular, and/or even that there might be aggregators of this info, or the concept of such. Observe how many people do not even do a search for

Probably "overwhelming" pain. Where you almost complete loss of rationality, a torrent of sensation that blocks out all other thought and sensation - vision narrows to a point, sound becomes choppy and discordant, limbs feel far a

Hmm, I've had a very nice experience using Rusty Code in VS Code. Some useful refactoring functionality is missing for sure, but a lot of that will become possible quite shortly from RLS (Rust Language Server, a la how TypeScript works

Each of these statements are part of the truth; each are true but not the whole truth.

Yes. It has a high degree of control for that. I use many of these features; am running stock 7.1.1 Nougat on a 64GB Nexus 6P.

Uh, you could just sync the playlists (and the music, too, if you wanted) to Google Drive or Dropbox. Drive is the better option if you want integration. Google Play Music (or any other music app) will then pick up the synced playlists

Because it perpetuates that culture. I'd really rather not perpetuate it.

Correct, but in this case they haven't even figured out that they are being oppressed yet. Or that terrorism isn't then reason such policy was implemented,for that matter.

Yes. Public perception and understanding of voting systems is consistently and distressingly abysmal. FPTP is an awful system that promotes ideologues and those that manufacture, manipulate and profit from them.

That's all well and good if the context is unambiguous, but if it isn't, people will get used to having this done for them (or not even know that it happens at all), and then be totally perplexed. Worse, maybe then people want eve

Yeah. Basically linting profiles. Reminds me of some proposals I've read about reducing the complexity of C++ without creating an actual subset or superset.

The best use case I know of is avoiding the common Python & Ruby pitfall of "just stick everything in a dictionary and index it by key". Welp, forgot to update every instance of that string index (particularly if that name ove

More performant, generally, particularly considering the fine-grained control it offers. However, cyclic datastructures may be problematic (similar to how they are in typical GC, but often worse). Of course, exceptions abound; the "bet

Hmm, yeah cache thrashing sounds a likely culprit - agreed. Perhaps before dropping all the references they should be sorted by memory address, so that page faults are minimised.
53.
by xorxornop 10y ago
It's still runtime memory management. That makes it garbage collection in my book. Sure it's not as involved as tracing, the prototypical form of GC, but it's still something that requires a runtime check each time that resou

Yes, although I'd point out that a dependence on a low dose of Suboxone is really not that big of a deal; it being a partial agonist means that it doesn't really have adverse side effects over the long term unlike full agonists li

Well, how about the fact there's an absolutely enormous, untaxed negative externality? It's implicit - normally you tax something to reduce use of something harmful. Renewable energy would be far more competitive if this was facto

Well, yeah. It's about AI because it's about cognition and the basis of self. Bit of a wider scope :p

What? No. They did Blender, Handbrake, Battlefield 1, and something else I don't remember. It met or exceeded the competing Intel chip in every one. I know, I was surprised too... I used to buy AMD, but haven't in some time now. P

In general conservatives seem to be more close-minded. It makes sense, really - they want to keep things the way they are. Liberalism on the other hand encourages introspection and change; informing oneself is a necessary part of that. So,

by xorxornop 10y ago
Well, yeah, unless the input is smaller than the digest, hashing is effectively a very lossy compression!
