This sounds like a pile of equivocations designed to try to minimize an unfortunate truth about learned functions: the learning process does not care whether it corresponds to human thinking, so learned functions do not necessarily correspo

Could you? The game runs at NTSC rates, which we'll round up to 60Hz. We'll also say that 6s of inputs need to be considered, and scores which are above 6s will be discarded. We'll finally say that the possible input states c

Specifically, you will want strong experience in several subfields of maths. You will want: * Computer science, specifically complexity theory and circuits * Galois field theory (AKA finite field theory) * Group theory * Number theory * Spe

What if unbreakable cryptography doesn't exist? This isn't facetious. We do not yet know which of Impagliazzo's Five Worlds [0] we inhabit. Currently, the best guess is that we live in Cryptomania, but we haven't proven

Pick the Grothendieck-Tarski axiom instead, and use category theory to build ZFC via topos. This path is "big" enough to handle all the interesting sets; it can't deal with proper classes, but proper classes are kind of metap

Capability-safe languages in the E family, like E and Monte, have perfect isolation, or as it's known in the community, "working encapsulation." In a capability-safe system, only bugs in the implementation, such as runtime or

I play video games with a trackball instead of a mouse when I can. Most games do not require mouse-specific movement. The main problem I've found is that the market allows thumb-based trackballs, which are extremely painful to use for

Yes. Dimensionality can be a little tricky here; what's meant is that eight dimensions are required to express some of the simplices, if we were to interpret them geometrically. Honestly, I'm more interested in the cohomological f

This is naïve first-order thinking; we can justify length-prefixed strings on a more abstract basis. First, note that in a trusted kernel, we'll prefer to define our string-handling functions only once and then explicitly hand-write th

Formally, DRM cannot work in capability-based systems, just like it cannot work in ACL-based systems. The proofs are pretty easy, depending on the system's primitives, and are akin to the standard proof using "real" bit-based

Indeed, a capability is like a smart key. But it's more flexible than that; capabilities can run arbitrary code, like a smart card. And since capabilities can manage references to other capabilities, really a capability is like a smart

Members of the E family permit `var x` instead of `x` for reassignable arguments. Having immutable names by default with a keyword to make a mutable name has worked well.

(New account, but I know the rules, so don't auto-downvote. Read. Thanks!) Strangely enough, magnets do weaken over time, and we can show it from conservation of energy. If a magnet and paperclip are placed nearby on a desk, they wil
