For me not so much. Maybe I'm just that detached from the modern art world to find it wholly alien. I can't quite tell if the author has a point or if they are just curating some trends for us to think on. Maybe the lack of direct

Have you tried the opposite direction? Sitting on the train with the line feed and taking a picture of outside? Like say, a panorama view of the entire run-length of the line, distorted in proportion to the trains turns and accelerations.

The Metro Statistical Area of the city is 25 million, which differs quite drastically from the de jure municipal and state borders.

Prove you're not playing a very immersive VR simulation right now.

You're kind of making my point for me. A video game is by definition a simulation. If we start gate keeping what counts as "true 3d" the definition you have in mind will always be debatable. Personally I put the line at it be

Everything prior to VR was merely a simulation of 3D. Isometric projection is no worse or better than 1 pt perspective. Sure some of it was hard coded and didn't generalize to a full environment and physics model, but so what if they d

The state space still grows like 2^n in the number of qubits. Again, all this mapping does is rename some variables from "imaginary number" to "degree of freedom on an imaginary system". But, the computer doesn't ca

Variance on this is very high. Where your classes landed on the memorize-think axis will swing wildly from district to district, and even possibly from teacher to teacher within the same school.

Its simple. Start with your circuit and add one ancila qubit. Then in your set of basis gates (universal for quantum computation), replace every phase shifting operation with a controlled X rotation targeted on that ancila. For example, let

Quantum physics would not fall apart. In quantum computing you can always replace the imaginary component at the cost of just one extra qubit in your circuit. The real part maps to the |0> state on your ancila, the imaginary to the |1&gt

Hows this for a definition. Its not a definition of consciousness per se, but its a definition of the specific consciousness "you" in the general case: you are whatever you get in return when you ask yourself who you are. Consciou

My attempt was to substitute it with "speaking as a mother".

Have you tested that or are you conjecturing from intuition?

It is wholly consistent to believe that your actual parrots are also statistical parrots. That's not the same thing as "can't be convinced".

Strokes that effect language come in two forms. One of which is you can understand speech but can't generate it (you can respond to verbal requests but your speech comes out as word salad if any). The other is you can generate speech b

I don't see why its ridiculous. Brains are not magically above the constraints of information lookup from a database. The more you know, the more you have to sort through somehow.

Oh no! What arbitrary signifier will I use now to gatekeep education level and define a class based in-group. Please, I need an answer quickly, my whole identity is based on hasty judgemental heuristics!

There's no grammar, and thus no arbitrary construction of concepts beyond the fixed literal vocabulary. Without meaning in word order, there's no difference between "what the cat ate" and "what ate the cat". I

Social media is underdefined buzz word. Anything is social media. Nothing is social media. Is sitting on the toilet reading messages while taking a shit the next big thing? My bowels seem to think so, and one startup agrees!

Its very much not a directed graph. We do have brain loops. That's where brain waves come from, circular paths of neurons activating themselves in a circular firing squad.

The problem is this is getting stuck on trying to find some spanning set of literal concepts which spans possible topics in natural language. It gets stuck at that first level. Just pick a restricted domain of conversation for the sake of d

There's electric bikes in China that are more like a Vespa than anything. Commuting this way was pretty great when I owned one. The range is perfect for urban commuters, charging it at night is basically negligible in your power bill,
