> But the Euler equation e^iπ = -1 has nothing to do with exponentiating e It has, that's the beauty of it. You can define as usual the function x -> e^x on the real line. Now, complex analysis tells us that if this function can

> When the latter are used for the former purpose, they are worse than useless. I passionately disagree with this. I find it much better to focus on a talk (granted, I'm talking here about math talks primarily) if I know that all th

It works for Esperanto (which is arguably the easiest language to learn). I completed the Duolingo course in a month, then I could read Gerda Malaperis in three days and Vere aux fantazie in another month, then I could read suitably advance

I no longer worry about climate because of AI. I think AI will either save us all or doom us all before the climate doom really starts.

This assumes that the refining process works the same no matter what the initial concentration is. (Don't know if it's true or not, but it's an unstated assumption.)

I use Firefox because of the Awesome Bar. I can easily find whatever page I visited ever since it was introduced in 2008. Chrome's omnibox has always felt like a discount version of it.

I knew about Mamba from r/singularity and following AI researchers on Twitter. I don't work in AI at all (and don't plan to), but it's fun to know about stuff a little before they become mainstream.

Yup the theorem gets proven in the book. It's very very verbose but the content is clearly there. "I am a Strange Loop" elaborates a bit on the parts which may have been confusingly explained, notably both in the proof of the

Time travel is something that is thought to be most probably ruled out by future laws of physics. Intelligence is something that we know exists in nature in a manageable form (namely humans), so it does not seem implausible that we might cr
