What year is it, 2005?

I tried it once and have no interest in reliving that god awful experience ever again.

I just learned it in Uni. I fucking hated it at times, but ended up really enjoying it. Such a different way of thinking. It also really gave me a much better intuition for recursion.

Don't know enough about if it'll make a comeback since its big thing was AI and linguistics, and the former is all about neural nets now. Don't know if linguists still care about it, either.

I recently looked up real-world Prolog applications and there were a surprising amount for NoSQL databases.

>We'll get AI, and it will almost certainly be through something very much like recurrent neural networks. And the thing is, since that kind of AI will need training, it won't be "reliable" in the traditional computer sense. It's not the old rule-based prolog days, when people thought they'd *understand* what the actual decisions were in an AI.

some quotes Ive collected from plebbit

AI is huge. Neural networks is not the only kind of AI. In the old fashion, there are at least three kinds of AI, such as Symbolism, Connectionism and Behaviorism. This aspect of classification may be obsolete because modern algorithms usually have those two or all property.
Symbolism is come from the oldest formal inference system called logic, Connectionism is come from biological neural networks, and Behaviorism is actually a methodology of psychology.

Currently popular approaches include statistical methods, computational intelligence and traditional symbolic AI.

Why exactly is Lisp considered an AI programming language?
While a lot of replies have given a correct historical answer to your exact question, (namely, "Because that's where Lisp comes from"), I want to answer the closely related question, "Why is Lisp good for AI?"
Firstly, while we can argue that Lisp is good for Good Old Fashioned AI (GOFAI), which is the logically-grounded symbolic approach to AI that McCarthy and his followers had in mind, it's quite possible that if you want to do non-symbolic AI, such as neural networks, support vector machines or other kinds of statistical machine learning, you're better off with a fast, statically-typed language with good numerical performance like C or C++. If your system uses both symbolic and non-symbolic techniques, the decision between Lisp and a static language is harder.

ML is a very different field from the old school AI that made heavy use of lisp.
Old AI was all about symbolic manipulation, and for this lisp is king.
ML fundamentally relies upon vectors, matrices, and tensors. For this some kind of array-based programming language (I recommend numpy and python) is much more important.
I did try using common lisp for ML a long time ago. I ended up implementing in macros array-broadcasting, and with hindsight it was remarkably close to a shitty version of numpy.

Do non-indians even work at microsoft anymore?
Their hiring algorithms laid off pretty much all american staff and replaced them with H1B indians.

Dunno if you're retarded or just retarded. They have plenty of white people. Look up their diversity stats dumb fuck

i said american
white people aren't even a majority race in america

pointless

Can you even afford 4 server grade cpu's?

Not for me If this a easy way to harness all the power in a reliable manner

>Windows 10

Is it true that the newest Intel CPU (7k series or something) requires Win 10? That fucking sucks to be honest.

My last job (auditor at PwC) have the same office as your pic. I've been at a few client's place (Roche, as example) and they do have the same design.

I work as level two support for a small MSP. We have a few big cubicles around the office that look somewhat similar to this but they're all built out of wood and metal, no free moving partitions etc. It's nice, plenty of personal space, room to put up my own posters and pictures

Looks nice, I wonder if anyone here ever got to their own personal office.

Get rid of your computer, stay off the Internet and don't own anything that can connect to it.

What did he mean by this?

I was always under the impression that astigmatism is not caused or exacerbated by looking at computer screens. I've had several opticians tell me the same thing

What's wrong with wearing glasses?
t: was dignosed with huuge astigmatism several years before i even built my first computer.

>>59297468
I have astigmatism in my right eye and coincidentally I sleep on my right side

only brands I can think of who do GPU stuff are Samsung, Qualcomm, and Intel. most of that is in the mobile space but they could possibly scale up if they dumped money into it

Even AMD only exists these days to make sure Intel and Nvidia don't get split up.

your parents just want you to go outside instead of saying rude words into your turtle beach headset, op

my mom tells me not to stand in front of the microwave because radiation is bad

First for reposting my build

Do you want to go full amd or do you really want the rx 480?

Building this for my brother's friend:

Firefox is dropping support for XUL, which is the original system they made for creating Extensions.
The new system is called WebExtensions, which does not allow developers to do as much as they could with XUL. It's another move to a Chrome-like experience.

Developers don't (or simply cannot) want to deal with this change (rewriting their Extensions), so they are leaving.

Checkout this document listing WebExtension equivalents to XUL APIs. There's tons of stuff missing.

>>59297015
Forgot link.
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Add-ons/WebExtensions/Comparison_with_XUL_XPCOM_extensions

Also, some developers are leaving because they find it hard to work with the new multi-process system recently introduced (E10 or Electrolosys).

stop using firefox

No, swearing allegiance to social movements is for useful idiots.

>>59296569
i will support any movement that increases easier access to and modification of software and hardware. i will never swear my allegiance to any movement though. that's for people who have nothing else going on in their life and need to find something to make it meaningful, but are too fucking dumb to do it on their own terms.
