At least SFOS has been a viable daily driver since 2013, so there's that. And SFOS can also run natively like on the PinePhone.

The AI Challenges were so cool and I had hoped there would be more of them. A "humbling experience" is definitely the right choice of words. I did some minor work on a PoC for the one after Ants. It was multi-player (or: multi-bot

Well, the blog post is 14 years old. It's an interesting showcase in how we (or at least I) assumed what the lifecycle of hyperlinks would be. (My assumption was they would perhaps 404 at some point, but not this.)

There's some minor issues with the blog post though that don't make it entirely correct Genetic Programming as written by Koza's. I'd have to dive into it again but I think it was either with the way mutations are done o

I would even go so far (as I recently said on Mastodon) that nowadays using Aurora over the Google Play Store is safer since it doesn't display ads for other apps just above the search results for the app one is looking for. If one isn

Not only does the superior ESDF have tactile feedback (because of the nub on the F key) but you also get an extra column of keys (QAZ) on the left!

I'm going to react to the OP through your post. > The interview Dawkins had with the Indian metaphysician (I forgot the name) made me realize how blinded Dawkins is by his material-reductionist belief system. Dawkins appeared to hav

I hold no love for Apple but the phone I used the longest was my iPhone 3GS. I think 5 years or so but only because it was jailbroken. (Thanks saurik!) Otherwise it would have been half as useful (or secure since I got fixes to exploits fas
