Nope. Not possible. You are entirely your brain. Nothing more, nothing less. You cannot reasonably claim to know this. Of course, your parent comment cannot know that "no arrangeme…

It's a theorem that starts off with some assumptions, and gives you some implications. It does not say anything as general as "some things are unknowable in mathematics".

I appreciate your point, but I think invoking Gödel's incompletness theorems in this context is taking them far out of their scope.

Is that article written by Mochizuki? Can you make sense of it?

You're absolutely right. In my native language, the relative key is called the parallel key. Sorry for causing confusion. So, to clarify, I'm not claiming there is a III in the ori…

Right, the key III is the parallel major. I'm shifting the base of the notation for this passage. When I say III ends the build up, I mean III in the parallel major key, i.e. V(7) …

Your build up progression is exactly the same as mine, only I interpret it as based on the major key III. I agree we're not talking about modulation in the usual sense, but I think…

I think I have to a disagree with your analysis. The verse is in a minor key judging by the looping riff. This is interrupted once in a while by a iv-v-i cadence, and then the vers…

It would be interesting to read the proof that de Jong's function has an attractor. Do you know where I could find it?

So an attractor is the image of a recursively defined function?

Could someone explain what an attractor is? I looked it up on Wikipedia, but I don't understand how these shapes benefit from the definition given there.

My impression is that it has to do with the perceived commerciality of the entity doing/facilitating the copying.

Out of curiosity, are you unlikely to use the code because it's C++ or because it comes from Facebook?

Perhaps they use some kind of right-to-left fastcall convention. Or maybe they are just unconventional, putting "this" at the end of the parameter list, hence ending up in differen…

I don't immediately see why it would be putting arbitrary data in front of the vtable unless it's done by a person. Do you have any ideas?

The inconsistent placement of the "this" argument in function calls seems to support this being C. The vtable moving around would indicate that each class layout is hand-written, t…

At 28:35 he says: "This is a 100% match with what you see here. The most telling evidence are the missing dots here and here. These are your missing dots". Which dots is he referri…

I don't understand how warping the extra dimension will make particles appear to move faster. Is it possible that it is everything else that is moving linearly along a fifth dimens…

I really don't appreciate the argument that "it doesn't matter what the constant is". Of course it doesn't matter if you are only interested in the result of a calculation, but lik…

I get your point. However, this isn't a fix, it is, according to the article, a volunerability that allows "remote execution of malicious code". People who know WebGL better than I…

Could this have anything to do with VUPEN's recent Chrome exploit?

Why bother removing it when it will always be available elsewhere? I honestly don't understand.
