they have no doubt been doing it, they're just using the panic of a brainwashed population thinking they're on the brink of Islamic revolution to normalize it

Random audits in data brokers' data centers? Software on consumers' devices that records ads seen and file complaints if consumers are still being tracked? It's very easy to detect algorithmically that you're being shown

This should be open-sourced so that the probability of creating a dangerous true AI is lower. I fear there may be something very wrong in this but I'd love a DIY grow-your-brain kit with a USB interface to experiment with. This machine

I was gonna comment the same, so thanks for getting all the downvotes :)I think it's not that sexist but at first I was shocked. Now I think it is just using way too many stereotypes in one sentence. I think they realized it was sexist

Isn't the title a bit misleading? > Hence, our attempt to convert high-level code to assembly code takes us one step closer to completing the dream of making a chemical compiler.

As a developer I don't estimate work based on number of lines I expect to write, so while this metric is interesting I do not think it explains why we miss deadlines. It does indeed show that things usually are more complicated than we

No offense taken. I said I like to write it this way, not that I always do it. > why code like that It's a fun exercise. > it would be a huge waste of time and energy I don't fully agree on this: from the name and signatur

Shouldn't it be ".map(([prop, value]) => ...)" ? I like to write it this way, using as much syntax sugar as possible: const mapObject = fn => obj => Object.assign( ...Object.entries(obj).map( ([key, value]) =&g

it's very unlikely this is going to be the bottleneck in your application

My thoughts exactly! The amount of things you need to know in order to use react and redux is ridiculously low. You're basically just composing functions of two types "(state, action) => state" , and "state" =&gt

Well "a.b.c" violates the principle that you should never access a property more than one level deep anyway ;) But in this case it's pretty straightforward to write a function like "get('b', 'c')(a)&q

Right. We might as well just compile our JS to Java. Instead of using web tech to build native apps I think we should focus on improving browsers so that web apps behave more like native apps and have the same capabilities. Browsers shoul

Yeah, technology loves cycles. "Hey, let's write an editor for a browser. Oh wait, we need a browser for that editor". Something good will probably come out of this eventually. I mean if they manage to turn electron into a tr

This is interesting, I love writing this kind of frameworks myself to get a better understanding of the ones I use in production. But I fail to see which problem this tries to solve or which novel solution it illustrates. It looks a lot lik

I don't understand what they mean by 11 dimensions. Last I checked we only have 3 spacial dimensions (exotic theories notwithstanding).

The title is misleading, I thought this was going to be about "True AI". The AI doesn't write its own code, it writes code instead of you but always uses the same code. Or did I misunderstand?

Surely some folks will re-implement it :) I for one am willing to contribute the day wayland becomes too mainstream.

At least the name is great. I think it's reason enough to install it.

I have mixed feelings about twitter. On the one hand I see it as a nice way to make interesting conversations surface and reach a wide audience. On the other hand I see it as a constant stream of ads. I don't know if I'd be happy

Totally agree. I see programming as a way to run experiments on your very ability to reason about things. Or on the thing inside you that has reason. I believe much of the positive side effects of programming come from this.
