Usually nobody can distinguish their front side from their back one, so I guess we're even?

I am doing Angular development at the moment and it relies on npm to get packages (Think of them as dlls required to build and run your application ). Initial setup of project downloads 350+ npm packages.

That is normal. You should try Nuget which is way more problematic than npm every could be.

The first day of the Brains vs. AI poker tournament is in the books, and the Libratus bot from Carnegie Mellon University emerged as the clear winner, collecting $81,716 to the humans $7,228. I wonder if they use it to subsidize their dev costs?

The AI has a huge advantage: newness. Any genuinely good player can go far in a poker tournament simply because their patterns or tells aren't yet known. Plus, if the devs are allowed to tinker with it, they will essentially be continuously creating a new player.
(And how much of this is genuine AI and how much is simply clever algorithms?)
|
|
|
|

Would they be creating a new player, or a better player? As a human would get better through experience, would an AI also not just get better through feedback loops and machine learning?

Genuine artificial intelligence would persist without having its algorithms and data manipulated directly by anything but itself. As soon as devs tinker with it, it becomes something new.
(Then again, is this really artificial intelligence, or just a clever algorithm? I'm quite skeptical of it being the former.)

... They break it, and it might have to start learning all over again from scratch (or just go completely gaga for a few zillion cycles). That's how AI works.

As much as modern desktop web browsers can do, their basic concept is stuck in a rut. Like Chrome OS, but with more Opera?
OK, not quite.

it's rare to see all of them in a browser at the same time. Not since the invention of tabs. It is also as far from a "rich client desktop" as any tabbed webbrowser currently is.
The basic concept of trying to do everything in a single application might be wrong.

You should have joined those of us saying that when the whole, ridiculous "Let's make everything a web-app!" movement started.

We can hope, but everywhere I go, people are still moving perfectly good, stable, secure programs to buggy, unstable, insecure web apps.

True, but in his defense I don't think he's been associated with McAfee AV for a very long time.

Unfortunately our media believes the Hollywood version where the NSA/CIA/FBI/DOD are anti-hacking Gods so when Trump says it's impossible to really know who hacked someone - they call him an idiot.
