Can't wait for someone claiming the universe is made of Rust (the programming language), and how much better is than being made of C.

  That all came about because Java/Swing sucks!

    Hey! Java/Swing is one of the most respected platforms for running universe-type applications!

  Elon Musk's efforts to break us out of the simulation [1] will be much harder if he can't find a suitable buffer overflow to exploit.

    > Elon Musk's efforts to break us out of the simulation [1] will be much harder if he can't find a suitable buffer overflow to exploit It's astounding that someone as obviously intelligent as Musk believes in creationism.

      If I have a big, fast computer and I simulate a universe by randomly defining a set of rules and then hit "go" over-and-over-and-over again, if life arises in one of them is that creationism? Isn't it more correct to say I am exploring the space of all possible universes to see which ones generate life?

Isn't it more correct to say I am exploring the space of all possible universes to see which ones generate life? Both statements would be true.

          When I multiply 5 and 6 am I creating 30?

            Could you clarify the point you're trying to make?

  That's probably pretty much exactly what Tegmark claims: somewhere in this structure there really is a universe simulated in rust.
