Wolfram has failed to live up to his promise of providing tools to make progress on fundamental questions of science. From my understanding, there are two ideas that Wolfram has championed: Rule 110 is Turing machine equivalent (TME) and th

I think you have it wrong. Wolfram's claim is that for a wide array of small (s,k) (including s <= 4, k <= 3), there's complex behavior and a profusion of (provably?) Turing machine equivalent (TME) machines. At the end of t

To me, this reads like a profusion of empirical experiments without any cohesive direction or desire towards deeper understanding.

`xdotool` is awesome and this is the first I'm hearing of it. Thanks. Do you have any other command line tool recommendations?

I think your approach is pretty much fundamentally flawed. Put it this way, let's say someone recorded typing in the paragraph that you presented but saved the keystrokes, pauses, etc. Now they replay it back, with all the pauses and k

I'm no expert but, from what I understand, the idea is that they found two 3D shapes (maybe 2D skins in 3D space?) that have the same mean curvature and metric but are topologically different ( and aren't mirror images of each ot

As others mentioned, tool use wasn't restricted to homo sapiens. I think this makes sense, no? We didn't spontaneously use tools, it must have evolved incrementally in some way. I think we see shades of this today. Bearded Capuchi

I don't claim there's any easy answer. To your point, market rewards are complex and doesn't always reward closed source. I would say the markets can reward companies that add value, and companies can add value by servicing a

Agreed. I think the source code is open and I think the data is open. The by-line is just a bit confusing. I think what they're trying to say is "Our service is completely open source. Our code is open source and our data is open
