> Children who in the US would be deemed “smart” or “bright” or “gifted” are called clever in the UK. It's interesting the way that words sometimes seem to have nuance that doesn't seem to be strictly within the definition. For

The primary concern is trust/security. User space limits potential security impacts, and a restricted VFS could be used to prevent clients from accessing anything that they shouldn't. (Although I'm not even pretending to know

Wouldn't it be closer to say that the game was the computer? A very simplistic and non-general purpose computer, but a computer nonetheless?

Did you RTFA? It covers some things that are rather counterintuitive, especially if you come from a modern programming background. Now is it complicated? No not really, I read the answer and immediately understood what was going on. But no

Yes? You want to validate on the client side because it reduces latency and improves responsiveness. You want to validate on the server side because you cannot trust the fucking client.

Fair enough, but the parameter space is incomparable (and in the case of space-time irreplicable and chaotic, making events unrepeatable). And, unlike the game, it is impossible to hold the oracle's view (so even if freewill is illusor

Have you looked at the way that ants do it? Depending on fleet size, you'd get some useful emergent properties from a mesh-net.

I actually don't know what we're arguing, since I already misinterpreted the dude that I responded to, but there's no one else that could have done this. No-one would've believed it possible, no-one even conceived of the

Someone never watched the Terminator series. In all seriousness, if we ever get to the point where an AI needs to be shut down to avoid catastrophe, there's probably no way to turn it off. There are digital controls for damned near eve

That's cool, but when decent companies think that legitimately useful people are considering resigning they often don't fire but instead offer a raise.

No, but the ability to probabilistically detect it could be used to build useful filtering and prioritisation functions.

When highly addictive drugs with rapidly diminishing efficacy are readily prescribed for the treatment of chronic pain, people should absolutely be blamed - but not the patients.

If Chinese academic research were not absolutely rife with fraud, their MoE wouldn't have stepped in with guidelines to deal with the issue. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41599-023-02208-6

Unfortunately? I feel threatened by an ethnosupremacist regime that would murder tens of millions of its own citizens. Crazy huh?

Do they? This is about research and papers published - but Chinese academia is amongst the most corrupt in the world, so without the technologies being utilised (or at least peer reviewed by more trustworthy people) this really doesn't

This is a move with swinging geopolitical implications. But the value and urgency of the reinvigoration of the American manufacturing centre cannot be overstated. China's gonna be a bit salty though. What I really want them building in

If I travel one half of the distance from where I am to the finishing line an infinite number of times, I reach the finishing line but still never finish the race. With a Hilbert curve the entire plane becomes a limit.

This doesn't seem to fly with the inductive fact that 1/2 of a power of two is always one over a power of two no matter how many times you perform the iteration. There are a countably infinite number of rationals between any two r

As I said, it's approximable to arbitrary degrees of accuracy. So it quickly turns into a question of perfect tools and other things that don't actually exist. Somewhat pedantically, if it were archs and lines, I would consider it
