This has been done countless times with Bacteria... Bury your head in the sand as much as you want...

Bought it just because of the interviews with Knuth and Norvig, but it amazed me how fun and interesting was to read all the other interviews also. Definitely one of my favorite CS…

I have a theory of superconductivity that also explains that, unfortunately this comment box is too small for me to explain it.

Yup silly.. And people consider the closest mostly in the sense of the closest distance between orbits not distance between planets...

IQ is the variable with most correlation for income at your 50s.... I have friends with extremely high IQ with a very similar path to yours...

Actually, I think most of the bad rap comes from the community. A community where the majority still thinks that using the CodeIgniter framework is a reasonable way to develop in 2…

Worse, if you take "Imaginary Numbers" to be only the necessary complement to make polynomials factoring complete... And "Imaginary Numbers" are definitely a necessity to describe …

It does matter a lot. Knowing the origin makes us able to try to prepare for it in the future. Specifically if it was a lab leak, we should put highly stringent procedures for cond…

TL;DR: I spoke with a lot of people in the industry and thus came to the conclusion that X will not be disruptive... The good part of the bet is that most potential disruptions end…

Mathematicians have been constantly been giving bad names do their concepts... Imaginary Numbers is one of the atrocious ones, Imaginary Numbers are part of the fabric of our reali…

Then there is a huge problem with how we publish Science... Decades ago, sharing all these huge datasets would have been quite difficult if not uneconomical. But nowadays there is …

19% are too ignorant to know it?

I have been bitten by this really bad idea of reusing HTTP CODE for application problems. The server was 404 itself instead of the application. It is a bad engineering idea to reus…

He hasn't derived 3 dimensions from this framework yet... The whole program is very interesting, it might find general laws not only for Physics but for many phenomena, but I feel …

Not "good enough"! There are so many known instances where Evolution gets trapped in local maxima and can't escape it... Another local maxima that photosynthesis trapped itself is …

REST is a waste of time and effort, use GraphQL.

No. It is not... The CUT operator is worse than Ruby's monkey patching for debugging and maintenance reasons... Prolog without CUT is awesome, but currently there is no way to have…

No. It scales linearly with circuit size. Exponentially with qubits size. Just read Scott Aaronson's blog, probably the greatest expert on this subject. https://www.scottaaronson.c…

Do you realize that what you are complaining about has the same problematic root as what you think are good ideas? They are all pseudo-scientific ideology. Hayek and neoliberalism …

Curious, what are you coding Solidity for?

Fall of Hyperion is the other half of the book. Hyperion is only the first part... They only got divided because the book got too big.

I must the only crazy guy that thinks Boltzmann and Weierstrass got the wrong axiomatization and Real Number Set is an oxymoron? They are completely physically unrealizable. Every …

A simple answer would be: the Natural Numbers can be axiomatized infinitely many different isomorphic ways in First Order Theories. Which one is the "right" one? None and according…

For countable sets, the Axiom of Choice becomes the Theorem of Choice...

Precisely. Any attempts of even discussion about Higher Order theories on that list ends up with Harvey stating something that can be translated to those without the technical expe…
