I wonder if his results still hold for gcc -O3? That be much more CPU-bound. Yes - some optimization will do global traversals. I wonder if javac/clang has the same characteristics as gcc.

How do you play MtG online ? Surely there are (illegal? grey?) clones where the big ticket items are free ? How do these clones maintain a game play balance ? Non player. Curious.

You are incorrect. IIRC, you can easily build a super-human Atari bot. Just add some off line planning (e.g. paper by Guo), or add manual rewards or features. No one is doing since there is no point. We want to study Atari WITHOUT these &qu

Energy is a BIG, HUGE industry (about 5-10% of world GDP). It will always be a mix of technologies. Cost wise, however, i agree nuclear is late to the party. In 2018, we had large contracts for solar(+storage!) at 3cent/kw (in the US,

Err no !! Grid cables fail and need redundancy and maintenance. So for smaller islands - isolation could be easier. The Euroasia cable could be nice. But i think all three countries are on a trend to reduce coal, increase Gas and push on s

TeraPower is a clever attempt at a fast reactor using uranium/plutonium fuel. We have had various fast reactors (commercial and research) since the 70s. IIRC they tend to be very twitchy, and have proliferation issues. Thorium reactor

Hypothetically, an economy will split into top tier employers (say 10%), and the rest. The top employers, are usually quasi-monopoly or rent-seeking. So these employees can in fact be a bit less productive, and can enjoy the 4 day week, and

Does this simply reduce social mobility ? If you are already with a strong employer (e.g. banks, google, utilities, monopolies, university) then yay for u. But if u r in a 2nd tier employer - then u lose the opportunity to out-compete them

Will the f35 still be stealthy in 10 years against improved DSP capabilities? My understanding is that if slap a super computer on top of the current radar systems, you can kinda of maybe possibly triangulate a F35. And DSP can be scaled up
