sumitviii··on Popular Security Software Came Under NSA and GCHQ Attacks
Trust free systems are an ideal.
sumitviii··on Popular Security Software Came Under NSA and GCHQ Attacks
Maybe mods can change the link?
sumitviii··on Engineers develop a computer that operates on water droplets
What possible applications?
sumitviii··on Android M Developer Preview and Tools
*Up to double.
sumitviii··on Self-Driving Trucks Are Going to Hit Us Like a Human-Driven Truck
Isn't basic income a bit weird? I am a total noob, but to get money, truck drivers do something. Getting money for not doing anything is like increasing the lower limit on minimum money you can have.

The way to do it is probably paying only to the unemployed. Sounds socialism, because it is. But hating socialism just because USSR did it the wrong way is, in my opinion, stupid.

sumitviii··on 8^8 – Find another you
It promised something great. But it turned out to be just a frontend project.
sumitviii··on The Cognitive Short-Circuit of 'Artificial Consciousness'
We should generalize this for all things. If something behaves as if it has consciousness, then we should not worry if it actually has consciousness.
sumitviii··on Myntra, India's largest fashion and apparel e-commerce portal to go mobile only
This sounds like what Peter Thiel mentions in monopoly chapter in his book. A restaurant marketing itself as south indian food place, and ignoring the fact that they still have to compete with that pizza place next door.
sumitviii··on A systems theorist explains what’s wrong with standard models of intelligence
When you are changing bases/alphabets, you are selecting them intelligently. Mutation is random.

Here is how I think ~12 Million bases make such a large difference (I haven't actually read Hamlet):

- Most of it is junk. Or what we think is junk.

- Some of it is anatomical difference.

- Rest of it is words which change the meaning of crucial sentence. Eg: '... I hate you, but ..' to '... but, I hate you ..'. I don't know if the book has sentences like this but please ignore this. If a sentence is changed, it might affect meaning of all the text after this. Or in original case, things which are built on previous things in the body.

sumitviii··on Show HN: I'm a 14 year-old dev who has programmed an artificial intelligence bot
Maybe it has interpreted love as some place.
sumitviii··on The Cryptographic Doom Principle
Maybe people can show new stuff they make on HN etc before using it in their apps.
sumitviii··on Last universal ancestor
Seriously? Can you point to some links?
sumitviii··on Last universal ancestor
Is it really possible?
sumitviii··on Last universal ancestor
Why? Its the ancestor of all organism, including single celled bacteria.
sumitviii··on Last universal ancestor
The possibility of 2 non-monozygotic twins having identical genes is not zero, just astronomically low. Its the same for LUA.
sumitviii··on Last universal ancestor
For anyone wondering if there were multiple LUAs: https://www.reddit.com/r/askscience/comments/1bjvxs/how_do_w...
sumitviii··on By 2029 no computer or “machine intelligence” will have passed the Turing Test
I may be wrong, but weather cannot be simulated because real version is running over the complete globe. Brain, while hard to simulate with present technology, still is a 3 pound thing. Computational resources obstacle will be overcome.
sumitviii··on By 2029 no computer or “machine intelligence” will have passed the Turing Test
But we have working examples of that machine.

The problem is in completely understanding it. If we completely understand it, then it shouldn't be hard to simulate.

sumitviii··on By 2029 no computer or “machine intelligence” will have passed the Turing Test
>I would take that long bet out to 2129, and beyond. I don't see software with that level of intellectual flexibility being written in our lifetimes, or the lifetimes of our children or their children

sumitviii··on Ask HN: Do you take nootropics?
MIT has a patent on doses less than 1 mg and some(not exactly >1 mg) higher doses can have harmful effects.
sumitviii··on Tesla’s Elon Musk Says Autonomous Driving Not All That Hard to Achieve
That's just a dark scenario of parent's problem.
sumitviii··on “Your monthly rent .. shall increase from $2145 to $8900”
"much of what the VCs are funding isn't even technology but the post-apocalyptic sort of "attempt to engage in one of the short-term natural monopolies that technology sometimes creates" gambits that bloom in the caldera of an imploded technology industry"

Much of what is funded has always been that.

sumitviii··on Internet.org will finish internet the way we know it, hurt India’s growth
ISP's have to buy license from government.

But a HN post showed a way to tunnel normal traffic through FB chat[].

sumitviii··on Study and Interactive Visualization of Toxicity in Reddit Communities
If the result of this study is A, toxicity function is T(/r/foo), will the answers on /r/Askreddit follow A = T(/r/Askreddit)?

Edit:I'm sorry. They won't. But it will affect the value.

sumitviii··on India goes digital
They need a warrant to arrest you.
sumitviii··on India goes digital
>when you know how it can be misused in a country like India which is a police state

Do you have anything resembling a proof for the utter BS you just wrote?

sumitviii··on Is Most of Our DNA Garbage?
>if you were the fastest you probably didn't have most of the really bad mutations

How did they arrive at this conclusion?

sumitviii··on Is Most of Our DNA Garbage?
What if we have wild mutations AND exceptionally good exception handling?
sumitviii··on Is Most of Our DNA Garbage?
I think parent meant that new mutations are random. Or at least look random.
