What memory management paradigm would you recommend, for an application like this? Let's say, a 1 hour game session generates ~100 GB of transient data, but only 100 MB is needed for what is currently within the camera's view at a

I would be interesting in finding a medical doctor's or a biologist's perspective on this. Suppose we consider the NHS to be a body, in the greater environment of the internet/economy/government. What traits of that envi

It is both. What happens if they admit to stealing trade secrets, and clearly intend to continue to compete in the market? Could the judge literally kick them out of the industry, or force the company to disband by labeling it an illegal or

An interesting hypothesis, but difficult to reconcile with the surprisingly successful history of hemispherectomy [1]. Unless, perhaps, many unique neurons still serve nearly identical functions, despite their differences? Perhaps their uni

What happens if Uber just pleads guilty, in order to get back to work ASAP? They lose important patents. And then, the victor is obligated by patent law to license patents at a reasonable price, by some unknown definition of reasonable? It

I am somewhat surprised that our ML is not yet strong enough to make good use of a relatively small, but precisely translated work, such as the Qur'an. The success of human anthropologists in deciphering the Rosetta stone to learn the

It is really too bad that we can't have things like this in our society. That looks like it would have been a very healthy way to deal with stress and frustration, especially in an otherwise restrained environment like work. Thank you

It's pretty good at European languages, but still terrible at Arabic and Japanese. The system still has a very shallow understanding of the content. One of my primarily Arabic-speaking colleagues was actually offended by Google Transl

If you live uphill from work, then that car just might help to balance the load. Early in the morning, you leave with a minimal charge, and roll down to work on regenerative brakes while topping up the batteries. After work, you spend that

In a community of entrepreneurs and developers of all stripes, scaling down is an unpopular solution. But, it is the only one that I have been able to follow through on, myself. I have actually come to enjoy the newfound simplicity in my li

Good morning, stranger. I am curious about what you all are up to; the idea of a non-profit that has access to computing resources and bandwidth, is kind of interesting. Do you have something like a blog, a twitter feed, or a github org pag

If you can prove that your testing process is perfect, then your entire development process can then be reduced to the following, after the test suite is written: cat /dev/random | ./build-inline.sh | ./test-inline.s

It seems to me that management is taught that a dependence on expensive experts, is a problem to be optimized. They want to manage the development process in a way that allows them to easily swap out one developer or team for another, or to

Yes, that is what I do. Like I said, now that him and I have made our positions clear, we no longer attempt to communicate with each other. I can only hope that he discovers the value of rational thought on his own, and I imagine that he is

In my opinion, this would only reinforce his assumptions, and possibly even radicalize him to the point of violent rebellion. It would be a form of oppression, and we all know how that plays out over the long term. Sun Tzu's philosophy

First, you have to convince them that science is a good thing. I have a friend, who literally believes that scientists are either evil people, who's primary goal is to gain power over others by outsmarting them, or, willfully ignorant

Yes, the author mentioned Idris shortly afterwards, but I get the impression that this is just the tip of an iceberg. Idris was presented as the one example that is most likely to evolve from a research-only language, to a production langua
