It is dismissed here: https://twitter.com/Astro_Wright/status/761383565259055106

Obviously it would be AI-complete. I didn't know that term, that's what I meant by currently impossible to code. I just learned my favorite term ever, thanks for that!. Although di…

Nice insight you brought with the CPU and the standard libraries being a relevant factor, hadn't thought of that. Your thought experiment sounds more like a "codec" than a procedur…

That being said, speech is far from the best compression we can ever hope of achieving.

I suspect that if at all possible to have an algorithm that can generate the seeds plus the process to expand them, then that algorithm would take orders of magnitude longer to run…

Sorry, I thought it was obvious, but the question is: Could procedural generation be used to achieve amazing compression rates given a currently impossible to code algorithm?

Does this mean that lots of 3:30 minutes 1080p videos could be compressed into 4kb? EDIT: We can be generous and say 40kb for sake of adding more colours / etc.

I hate geoblocking, but looking trough the site I only felt like facepalm . It's the same as poverty sucks so let's give 1000$ a month to everybody and somehow where the money will…

I don't think it makes sense to force business plans on companies.

You went from incredible predictable to better than random? Wow, now that's impressive!

If that were the case their society would soon collapse after a few years. The cost of every square foot of living space in x years is something we can't have the smallest idea abo…

I agree that condition B should be discarded. It doesn't seem likely that Satoshi would want to trash Andersen in the process.

At first glance I think they would take off and be airborne. Other than that they would do whatever they were programmed to do. I know, my comment is stupid, thought I should fit i…

Maybe we can use this comment as a place to give our best guesses for to the percentage of liars on the internet. How many of the people claiming to have clicked a button few minut…

Yeah, that's definitely a possibility. What you describe is more or less the basic property/side effect I was talking about, but much better explained. You're betting evolution is …

> Why do we say homosexuality is primarily genetic if evolution is true? In my opinion it must be to help the fitness of the community they live in. The communities with low likeli…

I did miss it too, for the first 2 weeks I started using python. After that it just seems ugly.

Seemed stupid, but I had to read, as I couldn't possible imagine what would the author come up with to justify how an automated "rule based" predictable system can cause more conge…

Is this ironic? I have my sound at the volume level it always is: between 50% and 100% Luckly the sound was going through the speakers. It was still very awkward to have the speake…

Even worst, he is alive, and he had to share his name with the local authorities when he was born

I don't think he thought it through very well.. But if being generous because in chess you have to memorize lots of openings and if you want to know lots of languages there's a bit…

LOL. Is this for real or are you trying to be funny?

I don't have much experience in java, and don't want to get just for this project. Although I would love to participate... This is my dream competition. Seems weird to see a coding…

The notification spam is affective on bending the curve for mysefl. Most of the times I get them I uninstall the app within minutes.

Quick answer: because you are a masochist
