I was thinking of the Shao Yang (binary) arrangement, rather than the original King Wen arrangement, which would have been created during SY's lifetime (1012-1077). This is the version Leibniz examined [1]. But, yes, as you point out,

As time goes on, you have more giants standing on the shoulders of other giants, and so on. Our feeble wetware is going to look pretty inferior to the digital cognitive systems of the next millennium, so we would do well to stay humble :)

While not intended to be used mathematically, the I Ching hexagrams developed around 1000AD represented the binary numbers from 0-63 (2^6), as discovered by Leibniz who was quite fond of binary himself.

Lots of weak hands in it right now. More scaling debates, ominous US legislation, Goldman Sachs says it looks "heavy." I got out recently - for me it was the disposition effect [1], but shortly after, one of the more compelling gl

I Can see how saddam's brand of pan-Arab socialist nationalism combined with Iraq's oil wealth could be irksome in some circles. Don't get me wrong, I believe that NK presents a real and present danger. A continuous stream of

Right. Watching the Noam Chomsky documentary, Manufacturing Consent, on YouTube really opened my eyes to this phenomena. Based on what I have observed recently, I think the decision was made some time ago on this, and we're being tol

Graduating the incubator, paying back your investors and being acquired has good 'resume equity' - don't overlook the value of that. You can tote that out the next time you're looking for financing or shooting for a C-le

If the wet ones can, I don't see why the ones of an arbitrary size made out of bits can't. Not a very good argument, but there's this: recurrent neural networks are Turing complete.

By the same token, what is compelling them to do this? A sense of patriotic duty? The kindness of their hearts? There's a lot of work that would go into designing, implementing, and testing this. Then you've got logistics in manu

Sure. Quick thought experiment: you've got a 24-bit scanner, which means 2^24 individual values, so 16.8 million. Let's say 2 million of those are yellow. How many different shades of yellow are you going to get from your scan?

Which shade of yellow? Assuming it's a uniform yellow (which I doubt in an analog to digital conversion), miss it by one bit, and your source is burned.

Gambling is a 0 sum game, but Bitcoin is creating value. The lesson I've learned is back up the truck. The media doesn't have a good language to talk about it, and even analysts seem a bit perplexed. There are no earnings to disco

FTA, the value of the average retiree's estate is ~300k in the 60s, 70s, and 80s. Using the 4% rule (make your money last 30 years), that's 12,000 a year, and that's probably skewed upward by the compounding of the super weal
