Advances in the AI realm are constantly coming out, but they tend to be limited to a single domain: for instance, a cool new method for producing synthetic speech isnβt also a way to recognize expressions on human faces. "Skynet begins to learn at a geometric rate. It becomes self-aware at 2:14 AM, Eastern time, August 29th. "
Unless that's "equally poorly"

Dear Gizmodo Editors (morons),
If you're so far detached from the current status of crypto mining that you think GPUs are still even vaguely relevant for Bitcoin mining please never write about it again.

Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Error codes are one of the places where abstractions are leakiest, because errors merely propagate out from their point of origin, and the context in which the error is generated may not be anything the application developer is aware of. But it's the error you deserve

Well, game developers use game "engines". Like Halo Infinite, they use the "Slipspace Game Engine". Am I right?

It certainly is malleable compared to what civil, mechanical, or electrical engineers build.

Nay.

People in the programming language design community strive to make their languages more expressive, with a strong type system, mainly to increase ergonomics by avoiding code duplication in final software; however, the more expressive their languages become, the more abruptly duplication penetrates the language itself. "If someone claims to have the perfect programming language, he is either a fool or a salesman or both."
Oooo, boy...
