I’m still bummed that Python took this direction. Maybe introducing new keywords into the language for event loop concurrency was Python’s way of satisfying “explicit is better than implicit” but i can’s shake the feeling that callback pass

But you still seem to be in agreement that the implementation of the language has a neccesary overhead... printing the operator that indicates code would require another escape sequence, and the overhead of the operator to identify code wou

> the shortest program that outputs "0" is "0". Im tempted to debate this... in any programming language you need to use some space to differentiate a literal from code to be executed. So, according to Kolmogorov comp

Its a good point, but you wouldn’t have to extend the length of the string very much to be able to save space by including a prime number checker.

Blockchains will allow people to collaborate on training a shared model. At somepoint it’ll be able to predict what it should learn next better than the people training it.

Proof of work blockchains arent solving anything here, theyre a step further in the “do not trust” direction. However i think consortium chains may have potential.

The author talks about a piece of software as if it were a closed system, where disorder would inevitably increase. This is not the case, disorder in software can be decreased by doing work. However, the business requirements will inevitabl

How does a lower infant mortality rate indicate lower antibiotic misuse? Antibiotic misuse could be constant as a % of overall antibiotic use.

And whos going to create the blocks? It's still mining. However, tx fees might not be enough to pay for security in the network.

And if you have 2 screens?

Blockchain does imply a consensus protocol, though. Thats what the block is for.

It seems like this comment is a little understated. Maybe the commenter could think more about how to catch the attention if the persons he/she wishes to target. /s

So, in a sense, heat is unrecoverable information.

by sadgit 9y ago
Does this imply that physical entropy and informational entropy are the same? Does it imply the computer would not give off heat? Or that a significant amount of the heat generated by a computer is due to information loss?

I havn't looked at the new video series, but when I was trying to get started with TLA+ using the Eclipse toolbox, i got stuck trying to define a behaviour spec for the model checker. Do you know of any good documentation for this? Tha

Have you tried running tests from stack repl --test? Its so much faster. Id love if i could use file-watch and the repl together.

Successful robots will multiply and scarcity will continue to exist its just a question of where. Energy and water for example. The world wont suddenly achieve equilibrium. Money will still be relevant to trade in things that are scarce. Th

Totally agree. Its a damn shame, too, it fit so elegantly into a programming style that looked very analgous to the threading library. Look at Tornado's StackContext to see the kind of mess that callpack passing creates. Its a gc night

Is there any real spiritual value here? It appears to me to be misguided if the objective is to preserve oneself for later reanimation.

They're surrounded by confirmation that it is. Plus way too focused on the details.

I would love to be able to use left and right to skip quickly through revisions when viewing a blame, do you know anything for that?

The database will get bigger but I'm sure it will accommodate ranges rather than individual IPS.
