    misread, my bad; but i remain suspicious because from what i've heard the latin grammar is something quite alien, but then again i heard it from an english speaker....

    "classical" chinese is the form of chinese used before around 1910's (but some texts which have the "modern style" predate this time). single obscure characters would be used to co…

    good point you raise: this statement is very behaviorist in leaning, and ignores human psychology, but perhaps this is to do with pragmatic reasons

    it might be more accurate to say (as a hypothesis), is that whatever this "inner monologue" thing is, people don't seem to experience it the same, even if it does exist/not-exist

    it is consistent for someone to procrastinate and work on something for a long time: you work for a long time while putting little effort. perhaps this was the intended interpretat…

    maybe, but any regular human being might not want to play your stupid word game which isn't even fun at all asides for the AI researcher.

    nitpicking here, but Cogito Ergo Sum (“I think, therefore I am”) has absolutely nothing to do with intelligence. in modern vernacular you might translate it as "i percieve/witness …

    dumb question, but if VCs decided that the venture is profitable under a certain model (aka: no limits pricing), then why doesn't the domain registry just do so themselves?

    not that i believe (or not) that this will eventually be feasible, but the dream is that if you feed an introductory paragraph (which includes a thesis) to the algo, it will be abl…
