I always thought part of the reason was that students in the US basically spend 2 years in their undergraduate degree taking general courses. So US graduate students spend the first few years taking graduate courses rather jumping straight

How about we just grow some thicker skin. Social embarrassment? Man, what a hurdle.

+95% of the article is about physical/hardware constraints: energy efficiency, architectural efficiency, etc. Haskell isn't going to solve these problems. Let me quote you: "I have the solution!" It seems like you want t

How am I making you feel bad? By pointing out that you have an inflated self perception? And if you disagree with that, then maybe you should have kept your original post up.

"If I sound condescending, it's because you just didn't understand what I was trying to say" wow.

Wow, you are so special. Edit: I think you took it down for your own sake, not ours.

An important part of any argument is expressing any values or priorities you might have. So it's still possible to disagree with the conclusion, even if you agree on the facts. People should just be able to acknowledge diversity in pri

Precautionary methods of reasoning are absurd methods of reasoning. Got it.

The title would lead me to think that machine learning, as a field, is failing. There are many different learning algorithms...

Why can't it be subjective?

An echo chamber fosters confidence in a single perspective, or a small subset of many perspectives. And not everything we speak about is mathematical and can be formalized so that we can have confidence in a single perspective (social, poli

I coded the entire linux operating system in one hour. Why can't you do something just as amazing with the same amount of time? "but appropriation of work isn't relevant at all!!!!!" Of course it's relevant. The pro

Starting off by saying a bunch of vague things and then mentioning quantum mechanics is a really good way of turning away most readers. Do you want to have a constructive conversation, where you communicate concrete and meaningful things, o

The points are 1. We're limited by our own models of physics. We can only record what we know about. That's a pretty significant issue when you're trying to simulate physics . 2. In physics, we can run an experiment over and

All I've been doing in this branch is trying to clarify the parent post. The parent's point was that 1!=2, therefore "you're not helping my situation". That's it. >So do you believe there is something immate

We can abstract however we like whatever we like. The point is: will the abstraction accurately represent the original physical system? And how do we know? We run simulations of molecular interactions. So what?

You didn't actually understand the parent post. If we make a copy of you and I kill you, am I extending your life? You're dead (you are not capable of having conscious experience). But there's a biological system with a nea
