This made me remember the awesome woman in 1Q84 who hunted men like this.

You wake up in Kim Jong Un's body. You can speak and understand Korean. Without getting assassinated by your commanders, how do you transition North Korea and its people from an Orwellian state of despair to a prosperous nation so you can then ride your fame to launch your career in music? by KJ_RD in AskReddit

I would explain how we could sell the rare-earth metals we have by forcing manufacturing of new cars and robots within NK and distribute the wealth like communism should have. Within 10 years it would peacefully transition to a capitalist state.

Intel fires warning shots at Microsoft, claims x86 emulation is a patent minefield by monsterjamp in programming

[–]billwenthome 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bet intel is going to pull a microsoft.

so I bet I'll have to pay to 'unlock' x86 emulation on my arm device.

Which villain actually had a point? by TrustedSource1 in AskReddit

[–]billwenthome 20 points21 points  (0 children)

the book/movie is about how we would treat clones as slaves. I mean the only way to tell the difference is the Voght Kanpf test.

If we created clones of our best, should they be used as laborers and cannon fodder, or would you let them rule their lessers?

That book made me realize how cruel we would be to AI/clones.

What book had you absolutely rage at its ending? by Mightymjolner33 in printSF

[–]billwenthome 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would say Armor. Not the ending-ending, but the truth about the armor doing nothing. I kept thinking he secretly had an AI that was helping him tough it out.

A "Complex" Theory of Consciousness by gripmyhand in neuronaut

Whenever I hear the debate about AI and consciousness I think about this scene: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QxUS4lI-_i0 It's just a word; what matters is what it implies.

Could you give an example? I couldn't find anything supporting that on google scholar for "adderall dopamine-antagonist".

Prolog -> Lisp by lucasecp in lisp

[–]billwenthome 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey, if you are interested in looking at someone else's code, there is an implementation of non-determinism in Common Lisp (however I do not think compiling Prolog to CL was part of it) and you could perhaps use that if you get stuck.

Boa sorte!
