Well in my 'head-canon' the way it comes up later is how these people are able to influence the matrix with superpowers. They themselves are part of the computational network that runs the simulation. A sort of p2p mesh multiplaye

Why is REPL a cause of a coupled codebase and lack of tests? Surely those are programming practices that don't need to go hand-in-hand.

Thank you so much - I like your view a lot. I'll need to chew on it a bit more. I'm considering just saying "let me work on something interesting please" and seeing how that goes. Can't hurt!

I have friends and occasionally do things with them. (Just went on a week long vacation with them in fact) but I'm certainly not too social on a daily basis. You make a good point, that that is something to be aware of. I guess it&#x27

Went to a cheap school and paid it off asap. Haven't had a car for years. I really appreciate your insight, as a potential future-me. I see two potential regrets in the future: 1) Regret working for 10 years and not pursuing things I w

Good advice! However, I just got back from a week long vacation and still felt this way... I was hoping it was burnout, and that a vacation would do me well. But it's more a general unmotivation to keep working on this project.

Are you against all captcha then? How do you suggest websites deal with automated spam or other attacks?

This is mostly unrelated to the point of the article, but I noticed that Trump in this article is repeatedly referred to as "Mr. Trump". Only once as "President Trump." This seems a little bit out of the ordinary to me.

I've been doing this for years! I have a dozen or so playlists that start off with very sad music, become melancholy, then bittersweet, then hopeful, and finally happy. Almost always does the trick! But you have to have time to kill. T

Well if we have 98 billion people on earth - lets see how dense we get. This [site]( http://www.zo.utexas.edu/courses/thoc/land.html ) argues there's about 24,642,757 square miles of habitable land on Earth - t

Good reasoning! I agree with the basic premise - but I don't think you can ignore the CO2 cost to make a solar panel, vs to use one. A tree reduces CO2 as it's being 'built'. A solar panel requires many materials that

Just because your brain is where all feelings 'exist' doesn't mean you have the ability to manifest it at will. But the brain does plenty of things to us that we don't want. I don't think excruciating pain would be

Yes. In many areas where phones are the main tool used to access the internet, and coverage is primarily still 3G. Not defending AMP - but making pages load faster is still something people want and need.

The article mentions the 'blurred line' test - but the more interesting one was the smaller interference dots - which is a more practical attack. You can see them in the video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=

Agreed. At least not with the sensors that come equipped on Tesla vehicles. Companies like Waymo are much closer, however. Though I would also argue the presence of adversarial attacks doesn't necessarily mean self-driving cars are not

I visited Hudson Yards and the Vessel on the opening day. I don't find the Vessel itself to be as architecturally offensive as others, I think it's a fine idea. A seven story mall, however, is a preposterous idea. In a day and age
