It's not yet god-like, but if you were to attach a couple nuclear warheads to the game engine, then at least it would be badass. If the machine feels insulted by a particular move, or just gets tired of the game, bye…
Agreed. Mathematica is awesome, and I did research with it that would've not been possible with any other tool, but the day I had to contact the company for permission to transfer the license to another computer made me…
Wolfram is going off into the weeds. The whole point of NKS is that the universe is digital. We live in a computational universe, therefore we are living and breathing and interacting with natural (not artificial)…
You may know me as the founder of Aviato, from the hit TV show 'Silicon Valley'.
If you live on Planet Earth, American politics are relevant to you, as distasteful as that thought might be.
Anybody had espresso from a Mirage? http://www.keesvanderwesten.com/mirage-special-features.html Awesome use of a PID loop.
When the first game came out, it was written in Lua and they had embedded a runtime in the iOS application - interesting that Apple at first forbade that practice, to the point of scanning libraries for interpreters. It…
Very interesting concept - this would allow the human and the compiler to actually work together from the same conceptual model, as opposed to the antagonistic process it is now. Too bad the multi-billion dollar…
There is a set of tools here that allow for a hyper-efficient lifestyle based on a new kind of wheat bread superfood: http://breadflower.com/
But you can check out the SPIR-V IR spec which is almost finished: https://www.khronos.org/registry/spir-v/ Not only the Vulkan API but new programming languages will target this IR, so far it appears to be an…

There is a priceless video at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UKPwZqUUrQo of the Gurdjieff movements, the dance at 3:24 is an expression of a computational process.
I've been looking for a parser generator in C (currently using AttoParsec in Haskell, but looking to reduce dependencies), so I'll check out both Hammer & Nail - right now Hammer is downloading scons and gettext…
Ultimately you will need to either work for yourself or have an open-source project on the side that you work on at your natural speed without pressure from others. As others here have noted, technical debt is not…
Never never trust the FBI. That's how they nailed DotCom, instructing him to let them collect 'evidence' against someone else, then they used it against him. Seems like you're in a hornet's nest, and you're not even…
"background of fairness" - very impressive, maybe social engineering is a science now! This is BS - in a normal society, competence rises to the top on its own accord - people naturally out of laziness defer to those…
Very good point, too many people consider AI to be a completely distinct entity that will appear fully formed in a lab one day. The reality is more fluid. Kevin Kelly calls it the Technium, as he sees it, it's a…
This is an interesting experiment in moving the computation to the endpoints of a namespace. I would suggest a variant where instead of a VM you place a Fossil file…
Automated discovery and exploitation of architectural flaws is merely the next step in the evolution of software. For the past few years we have been witness to a 'whack-a-mole' type of dynamic in the field of…
Hacker culture is dangerous. We are living in a technological Cambrian explosion, and it is certainly very exciting to see the many types of hardware, software, and techniques that have emerged in a few short years. The…
I'm glad the page is getting a design refresh, as it needed it, however it may have swung too far in the direction of the latest web scripting language du jour. The 'try it now' box is appealing to the short attention…
