"Modernity died at the gates of Auschwitz", which is the Lyotard quote that I usually bust out when trying to explain Postmodernism to undergrads. Even though it isn't entirely true. It probably died at Verdun and the…
So how would this process work in the context of a self-organizing criticality (SOC) [0]? I've long taken that to be one of the more plausible mechanisms for getting to simple automata. I guess this could work in…
Games are, and won't be a "consumer luxury good", as the article states, unless we're getting into bespoke CAVE systems or Westworld-like theme parks. Consoles have achieved that point of ubiquity that they're a common…
Well, an academic paper is basically code; you have a lot of dependencies in there, and if you don't get all your #includes right, it'll likely fail to compile. Similarly, knowledge management is inherently…
So you're saying there /are/ things that the social sciences can contribute to data science? This is my complete lack of surprise...
I'm not seeing it. Fast seconds are a thing, and will come in and take your lunch money. I'm also not entirely sure how it connects to "defensible" software. The ability to set a standard so that you're able to build…
Thanks for sharing; it was a good quick read, and I found it instructive. What I'm not sure is how the lessons of a material production culture might translate to the digital one that most of HN (presumably) interacts…
I've been liking the material at https://aeon.co/ for a while now.
To pick an example out of thin air, think of stage act trying to keep a number of plates spinning. You can keep a number of them going, but the LRU one is the one most likely of falling because it's lost some energy,…
