force = mass * acceleration. At relativistic speeds, the mass goes up (significantly). So the same amount of force results in lower acceleration.

Read the article, they specify that they use a compiler target that restricts system access. As I read it, it seemed that the unsafe prohibition was more about the safety of the code and not the security of the system.

The guy simply did not have the ability to think in useful abstract terms. He would ask about something that I expected him to be able to figure out, I would answer. Then he ask the same question with different parameters. Day after day, we

It was a frustrated outburst regarding something about which I had repeated (and more discretely) commented. And there was no constructive way to address the situation where someone simply is not smart enough to learn their required tasks.

Because leading people to believe untrue things about themselves leads to horrific and often untimely realisations and disappointment later in life? Or maybe I'm just a cunt.

I think that there's the need to a counterpoint to the world that says "you're beautiful, you're smart, you're perfect just the way you are.". A lot of the time the modern world tells us that feelings are more

Job security is a wider issue with technology that goes back to forever. And it's all tangled in with a wider issue that no-one really wants to talk about: socialism, and how much is too much. Because the benefits of these technologies

It's not a fix, it's a mitigation. It's perfectly appropriate to provide a workaround before the problem has actually been resolved.

A better question is, given a significant corpus of complex functionality, can it implement complex code in a language that it knows, but in which it has only seen lower complexity code? Can it transfer knowledge across languages with share

The most fundamental line that google crossed for me was the vendor licensing agreement for android. The license prohibited vendors from forking android and an NDA prohibited the release of the licensing terms. Anything else they did, I kne

Next to some of the more magic language features and major library changes, this really feels like beige syntactic sugar. Is it related to anything more useful?

Yeah, but how the subvolumes are scaled is highly fucking evolved. Then there're some nasty little contradictions like FOXP2.

I think that the problem is that it primarily learns bottom up features from the high frequency domain. The invariants that apply top down structures from the low frequency domain aren't as readily recognised or understood.
