> artificial barrier due to compute resources That's not really an artificial barrier. The program which encodes General AI can already be discovered by brute force, given sufficient compute resources.

In a similar vein, there's this website: http://haspvsnpbeensolved.com/ Although; in this case; I'd hesitate to call this a strict example of 'benevolent deception'. ;)

Question; when I learned Vector Calculus back in college, I used Marsden & Tromba as our text book where they equate the derivative of a function from R^n->R^m with the Jacobian. Is matrix calculus the same thing, just a slightly dif

So the original theory of the black death was that the disease originated in Asia, and was borne to Europe via rats on ships. Is the new theory arguing that it was the sailors transmitting it instead, or is the origin of the black death in

I'm not entirely sure what your objection is; light does move in time.

According to this paper: https://arxiv.org/abs/quant-ph/0205095 You can implement Shor's algorithm to factor an N-bit number with just 2n+3 qubits. So the 20 qubit processor would be able to factor any 8 bit

Would you prefer for them to be referred to them as "Cosmic Rays" :) ? To be honest, "Space Particles" sounds less silly and more descriptive. It also emphasizes that they're not generating the muons themselves, but

I know it's from the article, but the expression "Accelerate Electrons just below the speed of light" tells you pretty much nothing. An electron travelling at .9 the speed of light has 1.1 MeV of energy. Nature seems to be do
