No way! I played the original (too much) while doing computer science at uni in the early 1990s. My friends were either playing the Dune RTS or mmorpgs, depending on their leaning. A lot of the limited available…
Sounds like they tweaked an AI to get a minimal subset of accurate outcomes and started waving their hands for anything more complicated, realistic and ultimately generally useful. The larger problem-space is still an…
Sensible thought. I very much hope there is a glut of one-three year old ram and GPUs on the market in about one year when the AI market "cools" and the ear-marked components return to the market. The banks that lent…
Marked me down? That was a joke about how quotes are misattributed on the internet. (I am the following person) But if you are good at your job because you see faults before humour and it happens as a personal trait,…
Used to be red/orange in mine.
I had a colour-blindness test when I worked at an abattoir. My job was to find odd things on a one third section of a side of beef as it went past and cut it off. 1500 or so per day. The test showed numbers created with…
For a while, I programmed while walking on a mini-laptop. Nice walking paths where I lived. I was on a hobby project and wanted to spend any minute on it. It wasn't pretty. I kept trying to design a contraption I could…
I thought that was Einstein, Lincoln, or Keller :)
As a software developer, when I used to smoke, I would go outside for 5-10 minutes and talk shit with other regulars who had nothing to do with my work. It was a break that would fix my fading focus (probably for more…
I used to do it walking to school when I was about 10. Nearly got hit by cars quite a bit.
The kid? :)
Software or hardware, the lock-down for dollars will blow back.
I did TDD properly the first time in my Masters Degree (ongoing). It was an eye-opener. Write your program in two different ways to make sure you know the requirements by making their outputs match. That's not me being…
I still don't understand microservices for anything short of a NAG of four level architecture.
In the 25 odd years I developed software, I learnt all the rules the hard way. Relax. You will make all the mistakes because the laws don't make sense until you trip over them :) Comment your code? Yep. Helped me ten…
4 kings. Wipe if you think you can do better :) It can and has been done.
That's amazing. I used to live under an architecture student (our building). His command of design history was great. His command of maths? Well, not so much.
Interesting they had to redistribute the numbers to take account of its natural bias.
I just throw 17d6 and subtract 2. Problem solved. (I am joking!)
Good luck to him. If he was behind the Neo, then he deserves the post. That's the perfect new product in the mac world.
I always enjoy these summaries. I took my bachelor of computer science in the early 1990s. It covered a language in most of these categories. We didn't learn APL (Who is teaching the use of those custom keyboards to…
This is silly reporting with a couple of interesting stories. Forget about the technical ways of doing it. Doing it at all changes the game experience. Pausing a game has a massive impact on the game experience. It lets…
The idea that travel to work is necessary, most work is in the middle of a city, and people need affordable places to live that are far from the city led to both the road and rail catastrophes we have in nearly every…
Holy cow. Thank you, JP. I enjoyed your high-level writing while monkeying on your new-fangled machines.
Before AI and the swell of papers for money(tenure), not necessarily in that order, science mattered. As a result, the science mattered more in the past. RIP Rabin.
