You can measure the amount of ability to choose and answer your own questions though. Also, this all very idealistic nonsense- until 300 years ago, we lived basically in tribal community, and people yearn for that, no matter how futuristic they dress up.

Coding for a GPU is basically embedded programming - and the jit step is needed to avoid platform adaption costs.

Alot also loose the land they had, to the banks over time and become glorified landscape facility managers for the bank or for example a energy company.

The guy in that "My-little-farm"-book you've read, might never have smiled so happy, and it might never have been his "little-farm". I know a lot of people who wont accept this though. You got to be rich, living the good life out there- else, where to daydream-escape towards from a day in the city.

Assuming TTIP fails, how will the next contract to attack democracy be called? QTIP? UTIP? COUP? GRACE?

At least put some effort into naming. To have your rights grind away so slowly and being coerced like a mule to even thread that mill that maims you.. Im for a law that forbids to discuss content-similar contracts that have been downvoted for at least 8 years.

the biggest virtue of a c-programmer is temporary forgetfulness.

forget for the moment, that all of the old-guard-tech foundations is basically a castle made of glued together jello filled rubber ducky's. forget all the tricks needed to jump through that final hoop in assembly. forget even those hopeful endeavors of the languagewiser that stood up, and then came back because performance is a bitch and there use cases to edgy. forget all those library's that overpRomised, undereallocated and disspointered. forget all the futile attempts to steer this boat, carried on the hands of the likes of you, towards some sail-able waters. blissful unawareness settles in, while every "good c-programmer" near you starts to spit fire as soon as management declares a new megalomaniac project in C worthy the effort and thus starting. forget that strange feeling of elated Shame of being the best to repair the most broken car in town.

Then, and only then, you will be a "good" C-Programmer, one that knows all the tricks of trade, while not getting wiser.

I am a citizen, i voted for those regulations, these are the laws i wanted, you try to step upon.

So you suggest cache misses corrected by a instruction-workload bias (which should be again biased by how "hot" the instructions remain)?

EvilOfCacheMiss = TimeOfMemoryFetchCycles - CyclesSpendDoingInstructions /TimeOfMemoryFetchCycles

The real trouble is the inability of chips to identify what haskell could completely avoid, doing the same algorithm for the same input repeatedly. Hashing over input skip and save output, that would be a optimization. Also Tools that give Programmers a DataOrientated-VisualFeedback of the OO-Cluttercosts they impart on there work.

A flag that guarantees side effect freedom to a set of operations and suboperations, for the processor that would be great.

There is only so much work to go around, before cache misses turn into waiting games, even with branch prediction and micro-code piping.

What is your suggested alternative metric?

Why not scrap the USAF instead? It all breaks down into mission support and drones in the long run? So why not scrap the organization that warps the strategic decisions ? Give everything ground mission related to the army, break everything that is strategic, as in supply, and the useless ICBMs of the sky to the new drone Department.

What if the mass is water and you transport it back up with the capillary effect? Over a stairway?

The economy of disrupting ruptured by it shear forces - aka by itself? AIs crawling over the knowledge base? Good thing they cant publish papers with meaningful recombined results yet. Or can they. The irony is that the church of singularity is not relevant to the process - its like declaring evolution some godlike principle or cataclysmic event- while it just is a glider gun going forth, not knowing, not wanting to know. Still interesting times. I guess in the end, the science journals just where roadblocks in Alphabets way. So they have to go- so they will die, the usual way- with there resource supply systems stripped from them by a not "attackable" third party, condemned by those who benefit, as a barbaric, lawless act.

If they would have foresight, they would release all the papers they have into the public domain, and have there true opponents wrestle with the GPL and thus the allmende that produced the wealth. Instead they are having a nap at the ste ering wheel moment. In the end it will help mankind. So can we drop the charade and get on with it?

Do you refer to the netcode analysis? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oc51gxwvyGc Or the clientside thrust problem?

Virus claims german nuclear power plant run down by underfunded operators. "Cant spread, if you are all on old breaking down hardware on outdated systems that nobody bothers to update." says virus.

Nobody? Could you train a neural network to do that? Or should i try classic text parsing, looking for question answer queues? I'm quite willing to put in some work, if its a one time effort.

Nope, and reinstalling it wont help it..

I have my very own opinion on people who refuse to perceive the reality of the human mind.

If one has trapped himself in such a bubble, he/she is unfit to really communicate with other human beings, lead endeavor of complex composed groups and manage endeavors going into crisis situations. Please, if you ever form a team, state your perception of the species ahead of time, so people know what they are in for. The negative is a building block of reality, it has to be seen, it has to be handled, worked with, contained and used. One should not work as director if one is unable to communicate and take the company of for example bipolar people. Please don't take this as a insult. I just think your way of not viewing the world is dangerous and should be made obvious via disclaimer. Which in a way you have made with this post, so please do this in future conversations.

Regards.

The problem is that fields don't advance in a continuous process, but its in bursts of stop and go. This state with a lack of progress and entrenched thought schools is prelude to another fracking of the unknown. Somebody in all this science looks on the "outliers" and will connect the dots. And the truth is, that not the science community grants the ultimate reward- but society and economics, via application.

You can assemble a thousand followers, claiming that electrons are little golden dwarfs, running through the metal if fed with potatoes, but the world wants chips without chips, so what hinders science? Globalization, border-lessness, in a ironic twist, cause where can that industrial revolution flourish and reward overcome all prejudices? When the potato religion/ideology is the same everywhere, there is noway to run too for the first battery maker.

One of the charlatans is not one. Better to feed a hundred of them, for the one to prevail.

to stay in the analogy - and some are gazelles and some are cheetahs?

Realpolitik is gone, when everyone got a nuke. Even sociopaths have survival instincts - that's why no world war III so far. Stalin, Mao, Hitler, and there democratic domesticated Versions (who never get to the big conquests, cause so many other snakes in that damned parliament want to be king instead of the king). Whats really interesting is the planning horizon a government has when dealing with one another. A government with a low hanging planning horizon is due to be gambled again and again by governments with long term planning horizons. Also unintended consequences, the Saudi government might end up in exile or with the heads on spikes, put there by the very own radical movement they inspired.

eh, you stood firmly with saudi arabia and the region descent into chaos was not much accelerated or hindered by that? I think saudi arabia as a ally just reflects the sympathy of a "autocratic"-democratic-voted-in-presidential model for its non-democratic equals.

Also i think Iran is to similar as a culture to the us-evangelicals, to be ever "a reliable ally". Messianic (and thus innovative?!), having a drug problem and a "unwieldy" youth - and subtle racism. Nobody likes a mirror, when you are not in shape.

I never got why it cant be legal AND combined with a tax. 25 % of all Voices go to the Economics, but they have to "vote" for this- in secrecy, meaning, they pay taxes, and the amount of taxes determinate the share they hold on there part of the power.

Any lobbying outside of this, is illegal and leads to a company being auctioned off to the public. When a force distorts your laws and warps society, one has to sap this force via constructs and channel it where it can be useful. And this has to be done, without this force being able to destroy the machinery that channels it. It has been done with the military. It has been done with nobility. It can be done with what shall come.

Imagine you could take a tree, put it into hibernation mode, split it into planks, build a house from it and reanimate the house... Three years ago, this would have been fantastic, but today it is impractical and tomorrow just eccentric

bubbling asteroids :)

Every "autonomous" robot gets a swarm of battery bringers?

They day we defeat skynet, we shall have our Flyswatter ready..

Surely we can put our differences behind us, when it comes to create space lasers that protect us from a humanity-on-the-rocks scenario? Or at least send a probe out,which proves that vital defense can be used for offense and to solve the Fermi-Paradoxon.

Presuming, we don`t have some AI that bio-upgrades whole ecosystems via DNA-update. Your seahshell of 2050 might be made of carbonfibre. Still its a race..

Its in the same development hell, as all the other great ideas that surface now and then (new programming paradigms etc.). Its ready to use, but the world refuses to use because the cost of transition from the c/c++ Codebases or in this case the software/hardware ieee float standard is just to high. If any of these is ever to succeed it will not be by superiority of concept, but by backwards compatibility - as in either being just another extension to the existing ieee floats or by offering proofen automatic port-functionality for a existing codebase.

Its a shame, as many superior innovations basically remain sidelined, but the pre-existing infrastructure is in production and you never change a running system. You would need a easy integrate able hardware option, that allows a simple auto-conversion of a preexisting codebase and which would then run in parallel for quite a while, to even just be considered :(

All codebases are horrible after some years- that is the result of "please invest not time into this done project"- hotbugfixes piling to spots where they don't belong. The existence of this architecture corrosion is not something to be ashamed off. And everyone who reads in, can do so while refactoring those "if (input(isExoticEdgeCase)){...}" into some Filterclass of there own. My assumption is, that often management is in fear of being proven wrong, by some project coming alive. "This Project is not profitable, lets open source it." is a statement that can haunt you, if that very project comes alive and walks the earth for years to come. Coders and management united in fear of public embarrassment.

This baby is very hungry. Room decoration - Nom. Gaming Nom. Fashion Industry. Nom. Gadget and Entertainment Industry (TV, Posters). Nom. Advertising Industry - and Self Expression. Nom.

Next ten years will be spend with feeding everything to it. He who wraps the last layer around the world, to sell it to the users, makes everything wrapped his organelles over time. Well played Microsoft, well played.

If we could decentralize the way consensed augmented reality is shared, we could even do something good for the world. Open Source WiFi Hubs offering free processing power and untraceable sharing. Mmmh..
