    and then the real search, the ultimate game of discovery, will be to classify, find, and otherwise make contact with other "complexity magnifiers,"

    this is how the universe works. small things bind together to form bigger things, those bigger things bind together to form even bigger things, and so on.

    as a machine learning person

    This either means:

    You are a person who is learning from a machine or....
    You are a learning machine who is now referring to itself as person! You also get excited about probabilities and you are posting on /.

    A.I. has gone too far...

    Agreed. I find that I can fall asleep a little quicker if I leave the door slightly ajar and can hear some of the noises from the family room upstairs.

    There are other cues that it's not a dream-- when his kids turn around we see that they've aged, which they never do in his dream/hallucination sequences

    Or everyone here just say whatever they want?

    As a whole the generics is a useless and dangerous disaster

    You keep repeating that. Citation needed.

    Java generics seems to require at least a graduate level course in type theory to use (possibly an actual degree in the field)

    So? Is this a bad thing? It's like saying "expert field" seems to require at least "expert field" graduate level course. If you are no expert, then don't use java generics. And if you can't read other's code, then maybe we should hire someone who can.

    I remember using java generics to build a visual keyboard for any kind of text component. I'm reading my code now, and yes, I understand it.

    to be honest it is kind of boring...

    BUT I remember in my country there was a commentator who was really good at explaining all the technology going on behind each car, explaining how the weather and temperature affects the tires, the weight of the car on the turns etc..That made it quite interesting!
