This seems more like the airplanes problem than my problem...

I have a crazy idea. The round trip travel time of light to the moon and back is about 3 seconds, and we did leave a mirror up there. At modern modulation rates and with multiple frequencies of light in use at the same time (aka different c

Yes, but with the caveat of in some very specific cases no. I spent a good deal of time trying to get it to believe there was a concept in the law of "praiseworthy homicide". I even had (real) citations to a law textbook. It refus

You piqued my curiosity, so I looked for a paper. I found something tangential but fascinating. "Naud and Sprekeler (2018) suggest that this could be achieved using a synaptic strategy that facilitates summation for simple action poten

>Looking back, the greenhouse effect of CO2 was known in the 1800s, but even at the end of that century people thought it would take a millennium and be good. IIRC Charles Babbage wrote in his survey of British Industry for the royal soc

Similar to a dead man switch. You acknowledge the device on random intervals. Failure to acknowledge the device means the person is presumably incapacitated, so the heavy vehicle/machine they are supposed to be operating (train, boat,

I'm of the position this might be correct in the specific case of humans, but not fundamental to the algorithms of consciousness. Eg we could have similar emergent phenomena in algorithmic trading bots where all the emergent constructi

A well known hypothetical cat was born out of a similar attempt at reductio ad absurdum.

Yeah but distributions are just the accounting tools to keep track of your entropy. If you are missing one bit of information about a system, your understanding of the system is some distribution with one bit of entropy. Like the original c

To shorten this for you with my own (identical) understanding: "entropy is just the name for the bits you don't have". Entropy + Information = Total bits in a complete description.

As they said at the end of Dr. Strangelove, these things have absolutely no value as a deterrent if you don't tell anyone you have them!

You're asking one of the questions that was an early skepticism of quantum computing. Namely, until very recently there was a line of thought that while you could draw machines on paper which break certain computational limits by lever

Well now you're posing a different problem, namely one about mazes where the entire structure is visible at once from the top down and (likely) follows certain drawing conventions. This violates my caveat about there not being any info

I think what you are trying to say here is that if both the Earth and Moon reference frame were blinking out a 1-second clock signal via a laser pointer to a neutral 3rd party reference frame, the third party would see pulses at 1-second in

Mildly off topic, but I sometimes re-imagine the myth of the Minotaur as a parable about how the only bars which can't be bent by brute force are the ones made of computational hardness. Why did they build a maze for the Minotaur with

You said yourself the algorithm is DFS. The obvious measure of difficult then is going to be the average number of branches b raised to the average depth d of the tree. This is just another way of saying the size of the search space is (b^d

This seems like a very modern academic way of circling back to the way some old cultures believe(d) everything has a spirit. It says more about the way we perceive and conceptualize the world than it does about the world itself. Conscious e
