This would be great with an option to draw each ANSI line by line with pixels drawn left to right. The same way it was experienced over dialup.

The options could be baud rates: 56k, 14.4, 2400

iPhone users can enable Spoken Content.

Open an ebook. Swipe down with two fingers. Instant audio book.

Also, you can select the Voices option (under Spoken Content) to download high quality Siri voices.

1 tsp apple cider vinegar mixed in a full glass of water.

It also helps to drink with a straw to avoid residual acid on the teeth (although the water already diluted it enough).

New comment by primaryobjects in "OpenAI Shuts Down Chatbot Project by Indie Developer"

primaryobjects — Sun, 12 Sep 2021 17:07:20 +0000

I think this is an excellent explanation for why it may have been shut down and the need for some degree of monitoring accountability.

The fear is not that the chat bot will come to life, but rather than the text content it's been trained upon could potentially regurgitate back dangerous responses.

I don't think it's too far of a leap to see someone taking the output from the bot too literally and possibly creating a negative situation.

New comment by primaryobjects in "Automating programming: AI is transforming the coding of computer programs"

One of the largest programs generated had consisted of about 300 instructions.

This particular program included if/then conditionals, counting down in a loop, concatenation of a numeric value with text, and displaying output.

The system also attempts to optimize the number of programming instructions executed, in which case complexity can actually be considered based upon the resulting behavior, rather than LOC.

New comment by primaryobjects in "How to Get Better at Recursion"

primaryobjects — Sun, 07 Mar 2021 17:59:42 +0000

Practicing dynamic programming algorithms is also an excellent way to get better at recursion (and recurrences).

Even better, dynamic programming is often more production worthy, since it can result in improved time complexity.

The Traveling Salesman Problem is indeed a potential application of quantum computing. Grover’s Search could theoretically find a solution in quadratic time (sqrt(n!) versus n!). On a physical quantum computer, this would have profound impact to many different real-world applications.

New comment by primaryobjects in "Inheritance versus Composition"

primaryobjects — Thu, 09 May 2019 01:14:55 +0000

Composition also facilitates utilizing (GOF) design patterns. They can make code much cleaner and reusable when used properly and sparingly.
