I've used this once! Warcraft 2, playing against a friend over a null-modem, it all started out great but the swapping became worse and worse during the game. It lagged both our games, but he (actually having the physical RAM required)

In the spirit of parent post (and for a whole lot of reasons by itself) then change the system.

1) What we had was not complete because sequencing happened for (relatively) small chunks. Due to overlap the sequence could be reconstructed, but not for areas with a lot of repeats. 2) This incomplete sequence has nevertheless been VERY u

Did you purposely leave out what type of food or was that a typo? Because that would be an (the) interesting part of your experience!

One solution could be to just extend those limits?

Haha yes the most commonly used argument is (afaik) that if we could create a 'complete' virtual world, we would, and projects like this and how enthusiastic we are about it suggest that that's indeed the case. (The argument

But how much of what is traded in is actually repurposed?

I was the opposite, I loved programming so low level, optimising using bitshifts instead of multiplications, writing essential code in assembly, writing 16 or 32 bits at a time (as processors developed). Continuously learning from the scarc

The way you put it, it's like a captcha (but stronger, and with a high risk of unwanted side effects)?

Like many others in this thread you stack so many assumptions on top of each other. Why? I don't think that helps. Will this person's bank implement WEI in such a way that none of this person's devices (computer, phone) are s

I assume you agree with the worry about the first part (fake pretending to be real). For the second part, I left out the word, and was more thinking about 'wondering', but I agree the sentence structure suggests 'worry'.

That's true. And the term mechanical turk by itself refers to an even (much) older 'fake' AI!

by icoder 3y ago
So in addition to worrying about fake AI stuff that is presented as real, we now also have real stuff presented as fake AI.

DNA is not really processed like that, afaik. Mostly, each 3 bases code for an amino acid, which are glued together to a string (protein), which folds in a 3D structure based on the characteristics of all amino acids. Some DNA is used to at

DNA mostly relies on the fact that there's 2 strands that are (logically speaking) a mirror copy of each other (a C is paired with a G and vice versa, an A to a T and vice versa), it's like RAID 3 with only 2 disks (one being pari

If you extrapolate those criteria further; less nice, less transport and storage and more inventory you end up with e-books. But I absolutely understand that your personal preference is somewhere in the middle (while mine is at the end).

Kind of odd that it's a different font, if they'd work closely with the publishers there would be no need for that just take the closest paper size available on-demand, adjust the margins accordingly and otherwise print it exactly

I played with it a long time ago (doing actual work, mainly to understand the platform better, especially from a worker perspective) and back then it was all or almost all paid by task.

The fact that he measures the back of the plywood controls for quite a bit I think. At 3m27s into the vid you see the plywood that has the 'paint' on the _other_ side is even cooler than the square that had been in the shade all a

Tbf the author doesn't hold this against aspartame but rather uses this sentence to set the mood before making a case for aspartame (being safe).

Absolutely agree with the taste aspect. I (male) went 0% when my gf went off of birth control and kept it that way throughout pregnancy until now (baby's 9 months) and I certainly miss some of the tastes (beers, wines, liqueur). My luc

If it lands on a street it lets you roam around, but others only let you look and zoom around, they are harder if not impossible for mere mortals.

Same here, I retried at least ten times if, sometimes stumbling over a copy paste error that got Paul killed, but keeping the chicken alive was the choke point for me. Perhaps it would be allowed to encode part of the url? Also wouldn'

Agree but to be fair I wouldn't have known the answer either if they said 30ns. Then again, I do know as a dev that unless it's happening every frame (ie for games), as long as you're not introducing non-scalable complexity,

My home page turned into this at some point in the past, after which I unsubscribed from a bunch of dopamine based subs and subscribed to more substantial subs of my interest. That really helped, but over time the rot set in again as a few
