If you want to be "exciting" (the opposite of boring) you'll always feel like you aren't living up to your potential; just like how power lifters always think their muscles are small and anorexic instagram models don&#x2

Definitely not great... I bet that in a few years I bet it will be shockingly good. Experts have probably been working on it for years, and now that they've chosen a sufficient model structure with effective convolutions and whatnot, i

I love the idea of having everything in one language; dealing with just one thing instead of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. But isn't that why everyone moved over to React, Angular, and Vue? It's nice that this is in WASM but honestly

The Beginning of Infinity is one of my favourite books of all time! Highly recommend for anyone interested in the philosophy of science.

Regarding Goedel, I apologize and retract my claim. Regarding Cantor, indeed, there are many ways to compare the "sizes" of two sets. Cardinality is one such way. It can have applications, for instance Cantor's original paper

Here's a sketch of a proof explaining why this is impossible (under the Church-Turing thesis). Suppose you have written a Y-program y that takes an X-program x as input, and computes whether or not x halts (say, on no input), AND y hal

Please correct me if I'm mistaken, but I did check a couple of years ago and found what I thought were some errors. I began to draft an email to you but never finished and eventually discarded it. I'll try to recreate it here: Wit

Dunno how much I trust this guy. He's notorious for claiming that the Halting Problem is actually solvable, and in other places suggests that Godel was wrong, and even that Cantor's proof that the reals are uncountable is wrong.
