It is possible to try it, and some people do (high speed trading is just that, plus taking advantage of privileged information that speed provides to react before anyone else). However there are two fundamental problems to computational pre

The word he's looking for is "formal system". For some reason he doesn't like doing mathematical demonstrations so he shuns the practice of doing them, and invented a new word to describe that way of using formal systems

But both are doing the winning thing, which is more valuable than just the battle thing. Unless you do it just for fun and don't mind the result.

Sometimes that's because they're making it worthwhile, by connecting the thing with those who will benefit from it and explaining how to use it, which is as valuable as doing the thing. I.e. by making sure that they're doing

Wikipedia is and has always been a wiki; reverting bad or controversial edits has always been expected from day one. Also Wikipedia has developed an editorial line of its own, so it's normal that edits that go against the line will be

Oh dear, you need to learn about the GamerGate incident which started August 2012. All the extreme division and online manipulation through the collaborative creation of false narratives started right there, with that issue, before contamin

There's no obvious way to change the location of the prediction. Can it be done, to support the "travelling soon" use cases?

by TuringTest 8mo ago
Alignment is a marketing concept put there to appease stakeholders; it fundamentally can't work more than at a superficial level. The model stores all the content on which it is trained in a compressed form. You can change the weights

What precise process do you suggest to tell them apart at Google scale? That's the crux of the matter.

It depends. Sometimes they joy is in discovering what problem you are solving, by exploring the space of possibilities on features and workflows on a domain. For that, having elegant and simple software is not needed; getting features fast

Came here to say the same. The game tastes as too little with just one question; when you get the gist of how it works, it's over.

Now you're confounding 'humor' with 'quality humor'. The first one only needs that the intent of the sentence is tongue-in-cheek and not meant to be taken literally; which the OP clearly was, and the first reply cle

But you don't need double entry to register increases or decreases of value; you could as well just use single-entry accounting and add or remove money from a single account, using transactions that are not transfers. In the past thi

It's called 'humor', some people use it as a way to cope with unpleasant realities. You should give it a try.

As others have pointed out, Python is better used in places where those numbers aren't relevant. If they start becoming relevant, it's usually a sign that you're using the language in a domain where a duck-typed bytecode scri
