   This pretty much applies to all ads everywhere. I mean Im a guy and I get ads for tampons on TV or a million odds for all sorts of diseases I dont have. Shit I rather willingly give info about myself so irrelevant ads can be filtered out an

   Most programmers don't do any math at all, so maybe this is just a niche thats not relevant to most of us, but to answer your question: If I am thinking about any problem, its outside the scope of any programming language in the first

   This looks more like an interpreter. What I mean is just take the symbols in Klong and write them as methods on arrays. Sure the syntax won't be the same, but does that really warrant a whole new language?

   I mean its not that bad. You just go right to left. 1/2 applied to x^ so x^(0.5), _ is floor so floor of x^0.5. ! creates an array of numbers up until floor of x^0.5. 2+ just adds 2 to every number, and then I lost interest in learning

   I just fail to see the point. I could see the use for some convenient functions for array manipulation, but why not just implement these as a library in any existing language? >This allows one to think faster and further than they could

    1. There is certainly a large number of people who will pirate whether the game is $60 or $5. If you made pirating easier and consequence free, itd be a donation model. Gabe Newells statement speaks more to doing the best under bad circumst

    I still don't believe there is such a thing as a "correct" diagnosis of ADHD as there is no scientific/objective criteria for it in the first place.

    I think the same thing applies. Have you been procrastinating for months for example, perhaps because you utterly hate your job? Perhaps you should switch jobs.

    I think human/animal intelligence at its basis is spatial-temporal. That is we can model and reason about events in space through time. Our senses I believe map to this spatial-temporal model. Blind people can reason about the world th

    Considering we can implement and simulate a Turing machine and get actual calculations, how do you consider them to be completely abstract/theoretical?

    If you were teaching theoretical CS, I think you'd certainly want to use a lower level abstraction than RAM. (And RAM really is not unlike a Turing machine tape, except its chunked in bytes and addressable, but in principle plays the s

    Turing machine in essence is a finite state machine + memory (the tape) + some basic instructions for reading and writing to the memory. Its a very simple, rudimentary computer, not some completely abstract mathematical object, which was wh

    What you consider a single thought is a bit ill defined. A multitude of thoughts together can be formed as a packet, which then can be processed sequentially. Intelligence is the ability to capture, and predicts events in space and time, an
