Deus ex Machina
Once there was a time when mainframes walked the earth and reigned supreme over all the land. Lowly users were far too unclean and unschooled to commune with these vastly superior beings made of silicon and software, and so there arose among us a programming priesthood who served as intermediaries between human and machine. Like the monks of old, who studiously labored over the production of el...
متن کاملEx Machina: Personal Attacks Seen at Scale
The damage personal attacks cause to online discourse motivates many platforms to try to curb the phenomenon. However, understanding the prevalence and impact of personal attacks in online platforms at scale remains surprisingly difficult. The contribution of this paper is to develop and illustrate a method that combines crowdsourcing and machine learning to analyze personal attacks at scale. W...
متن کاملMassively-Parallel Computing on Cog ex Machina
Cog ex Machina is a software framework for building massively-parallel applications on commodity, multicore hardware. Complex models may be expressed in a simple, abstract programming model, while hiding the complexities (threads, locks, synchronization, communication) of the underlying hardware platform.

متن کاملDeus ex machina and the aesthetics of proof
C Unexpectedness and inevitability, two of the aesthetic qualities G.H. Hardy identified as being properties of beautiful proofs [Har, §], together seem paradoxical: how can something be seen as both unexpected and inevitable? Two possibilities are that the inevitability only becomes apparent in hindsight, or that the strategy of the proof is unexpected but, once chosen, proceeds inevitably...
متن کاملUrban Sustainability, Agglomeration Forces and the Technological Deus ex Machina
This paper aims to analyze and depict urban equilibrium from the perspective of a complex force field between (positive) agglomeration economies and (negative) environmental externalities. Based on a simplified representation of a linear urban economy, an archetypical model based on general equilibrium principles is designed and its properties are investigated by using numerical simulations. Th...
