bigleagueposter | 7 years ago | on: Facebook moving away from React Native?

Only considering products made by actual engineers at big companies makes a ton of sense. All the dead web frameworks of the week where made by silly hipsters weren't great choices in retrospect.

bigleagueposter | 7 years ago | on: Markets are efficient if and only if P = NP (2010)

P = NP is trivially true on machines which compute everything instantly (using paradoxes).

bigleagueposter | 7 years ago | on: Markets are efficient if and only if P = NP (2010)

Fuzzy analogies will get you nowhere.

> And the issue of trying to prove N=NP is essentially trying to prove that there isn't a magical way to train a neural network with just one image of training data

No it's not. You can't do reasoning on bullshit inaccurate analogies.

> I objected to the game and the rules, and did not want to play. After the game, in class, he commented that "Exchange students always object that the rules are unfair, while local students always accept that the rich get to set them."

Isn't objecting to unfair games super silly as life is inherently unfair.

Doesn't mean the rules of making money don't cause it to drift to those who already have a shitton of it.

bigleagueposter | 8 years ago | on: Ask HN: Any good collaboratively built documentation on good parenting?

Plenty of way parents can heavily influence you. I would have turned out much different if my father didn't teach me programming. The current POTUS wouldn't be who he is if he didn't get a small loan of a million dollars.

Nope

bigleagueposter | 8 years ago | on: Researchers are keeping pig brains alive outside the body

Pig brains are just (dog) food. Morality shouldn't be concerned with food no matter how sentient it is.

bigleagueposter | 8 years ago | on: GraalVM: Run Programs Faster Anywhere

MoarVM/NQP compares very badly with Graal and Truffle. MoarVM is a ton slower and less flexible.

CNN is extremely anti-Trump

bigleagueposter | 8 years ago | on: Artificial Intelligence Uses Videogame Footage to Recreate Game Engine

Looking at the paper the set of games it can build seems rather limited. It could work for cookie cutter platformers (the sort of games that engines that don't require programming let you build).

I don't have any patents why should I give a fuck about people who want to steal money from facebook?

bigleagueposter | 8 years ago | on: Ask HN: What's the worst Oracle can do to OpenJDK?

Wouldn't they shoot themselves in the foot by sabotaging the JVM? They seem to be taking a serious push at taking over the dynamic language space atm?

If it was a failed startup all their code was in the end useless garbage.

Not taking a bribe would help you avoid such taking such decisions.
