Ron, you're hung up on Shor's algorithm. But you continue to avoid addressing my claim (above). Perhaps that's because you don't understand the fundamental difference between localist and distributed representations. In any case, your continued use of "quack" while you also continue to admit you don't understand the thing you're criticizing,...well, it's just pathetic. Anyway, let's stop. I don't really see any value in communicating with you further.
- lisper 7y ago> you don't understand the fundamental difference between localist and distributed representations That's true, I don't, and I've never said otherwise. I do, however, understand information theory, quantum computation and quantum supremacy. So I don't know if you're a quack or not. What I do know is that your claim of having achieved quantum supremacy on a classical computer is almost certainly false. I don't need to understand the details of your algorithm to know this, I only have to understand what "quantum supremacy" means and why it matters. I also know that I have looked at your site and read some of your papers and I can't make heads nor tails of them. It's possible that this is because I'm an idiot and I'm simply not capable of grasping the brilliant idea embodied in Sparsey, or that I just haven't put enough effort into it. Or it's possible that this is because it's all bullshit. I honestly don't know. But I do know one more thing, and that is that you're getting awfully defensive about all this. Why would you do that if you were confident in the merits of your position? What threat could a lazy idiot like me possibly pose in that situation?
