conceit

What's got energy expenditure to do with logic? Isn't what you talk about Bayesian Inference?

while one scrambles up a nearby tree

I'm not sure that is just a nervous reflex or the result of the logic implication "If that's a Tiger and I stay then I will die". Even if the thought becomes hardwired, it would have to have been logically evaluated before it became subconscious. To react and be afraid, the danger must be recognized and categorized, "If the grass twitches then something moved it", etc. etc. Going down that argument, small life forms would be able of some small amount of logic reasoning, too. As long as those grow bulks of neurons, I don't see why that should be wrong.

just look at your first sentence

What are you trying to say?

People have an OK grasp of formal logic, that is the formalism. It's learned at an early age, it's prerequisite for deductive (or inductive?) learning actually. Most might lack the cognitive ability to exercise those formalism in an abstract synthesis into long formulas.

to arrive at their preferred judgment first

then ... to justify their rulings

Well, unless justification and judgment aren't pretty much synonym, that's a contradiction? The subconscious decision met by such a judge should be guided by an organic sound understanding of justice. The verbalization of this kind of emotion should only bring up the true reasons of thought, maybe polished and cut short. At least, that would be my lame excuse.

the emergency line is the stressor I ment.

I don't even get it and so may the downvoters

apparently, for some, many even, this puts them under some stress and pressure, socially and organisatoric.

Extrapolated from their numbers, in 2045 it will be an unbelievable 16 billion, 2 bookings a night per human. All that vacationing will lead to vacation fornication and generate the increase in population needed to sustain the growth. What a keen business model.

That's probably why they have John Carmack on board. Half Life was a mod to his Quake 2. They had a friendly, cooperative relation so far, so I wouldn't worry.

There's only one App store on iOS vs Android.

maybe I misunderstand but Adroid is targeted by many app shops.

reminds me of this comic

It reminds me all too much of genetic programming, but I know the latter almost only by name.

On a datacenter the size of the middle of nowhere.

imagine trying to reverse engineer a modern CPU vs merely designing one

I can't really imagine the latter to begin with.

why not the converse

In that regard, the term superhuman-AI is used.

Capitalism is rather a human worth maximizer. It's not a money maximizer.

In terms of hormonal emotions, which would be the most direct sense of value that we have is completely different. Love might feedback into aggression, but they are very different.

This is view is also very naive but it's the breakdown of the "good" and "bad" discussion. Nobody commits war crimes for their intrinsic value. This is akin to the saying, nobody likes to think they're the bad guys. Even, there are no bad values since the absence of value is the worst.

Naivety is not necessarily wrong, it's just the lack of detail which often leads to the wrong results.

Many do. Foundations of mathematics is a specialized but deeply philosophical topic. Many would be interested orthogonal to maths, too.

When you develop a fully native app you do it pretty much in one place. On iOS you’re in Xcode, for Android you’re in Android Studio. With React Native you have a terminal (with a couple of panes), a text editor, perhaps Redux Remote DevTools plus your IDE for the platform you’re targeting.

It's not like those IDEs can't be configured to work with the raw tools.

It's supposed to be distracting, but moodlifting, seeing the post exposes essentially negative oppoinions. Of course they are devoid of content.

If I could downvote you, I would. That's probably why I'm not allowed to. :)

I'm currently in a project to build a line track driving car with a bit of image processing, physics and control theory. It'll be written in C++ and openCV. This link is highly of interest to me.

I'm a physics graduate, an amateur astrophotgrapher, a pilot with an expired license, and I can identify aircraft, satellites, and so-forth - but some stuff I can't explain.

You are not a UFO-expert so your appeal to authority is out of place.

Most of us spent years at each other's throats in a Lord of the Flies type environment, so it's natural for this behavior to transfer to the internet.

You are shifting the perspective here. Trolling in your sense, as a weak and vile but effective antisocial interaction would be significantly characterized by lacking better traits. Either it's institutional or school can't help with it. This is one of the things school tries to control for, so, if they can't control it, then because it's not from within their institution. Either way you can't just say that without any argument. I don't accept the irony that is mentioning the mandatory literature as an argument.

Since that topic is controversial and the tone mocking, I consider it flame bait. Did you enjoy writing this?

Coercion is not necessarily criminal. Where does it say otherwise?

Should I stoop to the level of a common racist by FORCING him/her to speak a certain way?

You are not a Forum. On the other hand, your comment implies you try to convince someone to act (not) a certain way. The difference between the force and conviction might make all the difference, but conviction is one kind of force, isn't it?

Of course there is. Food grows on trees. You pick it and eat. It runs around. Kill it and grill it.

Why shove non-trivial amounts of engineering effort into it

because it's more fun

theirs

*there's

Every other project comes up with its own wrapper for bit wise operations. Its not that big a piece of code to find and understand. Its a matter of taste. The first one is the canonical form (in C) and the only error source is the hex.

Which doesn't help much if pay-per-view journals are still cited.

The image content isn't the juicy bit

It is. The wealth of images alone, the sheer amount, from memes to vacation pics is worth so much now that image recognition is taking off.
