This reminds me a bit of the octree quantization implementation I hacked up to improve speed of generating Racket's animated gifs.

Thank you for bringing this up. I had not read this before, but it speaks to my deep concerns.

Thank you for organizing this. It's been a long time since I've listened to these last, and I remember these were enjoyable for Knuth's gentle humor.

You may want to read the history of banana republics. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Banana_republic.

Given the wildness of that particular dark corner of our history, I'm looking forward to reading about the history we're living through now. Hopefully after some emotional remove, like in another ten years.

I misparsed this as

   Two Years (With Emacs as a CEO and now CTO)

as opposed to

   Two Years (With Emacs) as a CEO and now CTO.

and it greatly confused me: how could Emacs act as a CEO? It's not that smart, is it? (Or conversely, being a CEO can't be that trivial, right?)

Perhaps rephrase to: "Using Emacs for two years as a CEO and now CTO". The parse tree is still ambiguous, but a little less so.

Can anyone tell which low calorie sweeteners the study is talking about? Certain artificial sweeteners elicit a large insulin response even if they are "low-calorie". Did they use any of the sweeteners listed in https://www.hsph.harvard.edu/nutritionsource/healthy-drinks/...?

If by "laughingstock", you mean of the millions of lives that his foundation has saved from infant mortality, thus giving those folks the opportunity to smile and laugh, then I agree with that sentiment.

How many of you have immigrant parents who, where English is a second language, would have great difficulty performing the kind of verbal gymnastics that you take for granted?

Another point: the documentary about FineArt from Tencent makes it very clear that folks there consider the race for AI analogously to the race to the atomic bomb. https://www.reddit.com/r/cbaduk/comments/7ryw0q/7_fine_art_d...

The bikes literally have an explicit warning sign on them saying not to take them. There's nothing implicit about this. http://www.timboelaars.nl/media/image/resized/7f65959de38848...

His "Word Crimes" is one of the more entertaining videos I've seen, because not only is it a "ha ha just serious" kind of song, but the animations in the video are just spot on.
