DeepMind building an effective StarCraft AI, and why it's a hard game for a computer to play: https://deepmind.com/blog/alphastar-mastering-real-time-strategy-game-starcraft-ii/ (When you build an AI using a ton of self-play, it's pretty likely that you end up finding some novel strategies too!)

It's so strange that we talk about languages being slow, and have done for years. Computer performance has increased so much in this time. https://hbfs.wordpress.com/2009/11/10/is-python-slow/ (shared on HN in 2009) discusses Python being slow. My underpowered Thinkpad has 20x the single-threaded performance! https://www.cpubenchmark.net/compare/73vs3766/AMD-Athlon-64-4000+-vs-AMD-Ryzen-5-PRO-4650U Maybe *relative* performance of languages matters more?

Which programming languages are the easiest/hardest to google? Go (a common word) and Rust (also a computer game) can both be tricky. Yet I've not seen 'rubylang' used to help Ruby searches. Perhaps a novel word (Kotlin) or a misspelling (Perl) is a better choice for new languages?
