Hi, do you have any idea how one goes about making a liquid mode for mobile pdf readers like the adobe pdf app? I am often commuting and have to read on my mobile but I am limited by the fact that adobe only allows 200 pages or less files to be rendered to liquid mode. I would be interested in helping develop this app ( I am not a programmer by profession but have been learning for a few years on my part time)
What does a Top Coder mean? Its people who write the Stack Overflow answers and not the ones who copy them.
I mean other than when invading poor, impoverished countries in third world for reasons full of deceit, corruption and material gain, when has Western media ever lied to us?
What I wonder is why do poor wage slavers like you enjoy tounging the boot so much?
This software is working as intended. Its supposed to be a screen. Its doing that well. I know this sounds crass and crude but that is capitalism for you.
Thank you for the detailed reply. Sadly killing off Logic based AI isn't the only crime we can attribute to pencil pushers. But I had some intuition I wanted to ask about.
Can a sort of vaguely type theory based - and I mean like in the sense of programming be used to reason about law and the like?
Like suppose some article says a man should pay 20% income tax but it says in some other act of some other law that a man shall pay 30% income tax. Like obviously I'm just giving an example but I mean like long cryptic legalese busting. Can we detect contradictions or show that the law or agreement esp like say something like TPP or whatever is inconsistent, by defining types and transactions?
I'm sorry I couldn't word it better. But I hope you get a gist of what I'm saying.
I am just a lay man interested in the field, but like it sort of makes sense that you can have logical rules and inference, like I mean the whole point of AI as usually conceptualized was that they understood logic, like insert your fav Dr Who/Star Trek joke here, but briefly speaking what happened? I get the charm of ML/DL but it's essentially like data fitting or something. Wouldn't you expect logic in AI? What went wrong and what is the state of the art now?
Multiple redundant servers? I'm way out of my depth here, but if a spof is your main problem, perhaps you just need some redundancy?
Perhaps the app itself can use ml to detect flag and prevent known images from being sent...
Hopefully Google drinks the Kool Aid and kills itself instead of going after one head at a time.
Perhaps the LI devs could post open for work on their profile pictures now...
Two pane window managers with a third pane for previews because I keep downloading pdfs and shit and I really need to know what is inside pog3715.pdf

The Goldman method is to live in the office from 6 to 9 at night 7 days a week is 105 hours. Just sleep with your secretary. Hang out with your bros and expense it. Always be billing. No one who's is office for a 100 hours a week is actually working a 100 hours. Just expense everything, snort coffee and drink cocaine. This is the way.
Side query but can their be like a Defanger license that everyone other than FAANG companies can use? Just so you know, to make em bleed... Or at least a clause that FAANG has to pay to use the software but it is open-source for everyone else just to level playing grounds?
Just wondering if a company can reach a 10B dollar valuation on a 10k investment....
If only I could give you gold
It's more like office hours in the college sense where you go talk to the prof/ta to get your doubts cleared and stuff, the way i see it.
As a newb, I do find ECS harder to reason about.
So in the end, computers just weaponize autism?
Super intelligence is a shitty meme, much like eugenics. There are only so many philosophical situations. And machine learning is just improving performance P at a task T with experience E.
So what pray is superintelligence? If you drop the tool bit, no robot can reason that it needs the tool bit to do the machining and would just move its arm anyways.
Okay here's the Iron Duke. He just hates the Basilisk and is an AI with better powers than the Basilisk. His only mission is to protect people from the Basilisk and to defeat the Basilisk which he achieves by unplugging the Basilisk's power supply.
The simple answer is that there is no objective score of a good novel. What is a good novel? The only gradient descent that gets a good story is usually the one into madness.
Perhaps I should have been more clear, I am a PhD dropout in Mech Eng with lots of CS and finance/econ exposure as I dropped out to join a bank. I want to do something cross disciplinary and vague ideas of systems science especially since I read Saltzer Kaashoek(sorry for butchering the spellings) Principles of Computer System design and sort of using a systems design approach to manufacturing processes and such. Like a lot of ideas of CS are from Engineering Management like JIT etc and how the design of networks is an evolution of earlier metaphors of telegraph and telephone systems.
To keep it short, how do I even find what I want to look for? Any tactics that you would want to suggest?
