It's only the interface that is of a string. An array is a list of strings with space between, but only for the programmer. The runtime is free to use an actual array.

My google gives me the data from oup for word meaning, and doesn't show any AI. It opens up the translator for word meaning language . It is really fast and convenient.

I should've mentioned nonnegative integers, as they correspond to the amount of discrete things. I don't see any difference between rational numbers and reals. Their decimal expansion has nothing to do if they correspond anything

The website is ideal on phones without JS: there is a small, CSS based hamburger button at the bottom. I've long suspected that this is the only structure that makes sense, but I don't think I've ever seen in it the wild be

"We all know of the language and chosen not to use it." Is a strange claim, and hard to cite. But I think many HNers have tried out D and decided that it's not good enough for them for anything. It is certainly advertised har

I think that's correct. But that wouldn't work either. The problem is that there is an infinite volume of circles with ~2 as the circumference inside the unit circle. (Volume in x,y,r space, and, consequently in the proposed proba

Good catch. Some big numbers are way too big to mean anything physical, or exist in any sense. (Up to our everyday experiences at least. Maybe in a few years, after the singularity, AI proves that there are infinite many small discrete st

In my view nonnegative real numbers have good physical representations: amount, size, distance, position. Even negative integers don't have this types of models for them. Negative numbers arise mostly as a tool for accounting, position

Wait is that available? Best clock would be UTC + decimal time anyway, netric time is a good name for that. Decimal time: you divide the day into powers of tens, a 'deci' is 2.4 hours, a 'centi' is 14.4 ~= 15 minutes, a

This is all about getting energy out of a very hot heat source. Theoretical efficiency is ~1, and a ~40% practical efficiency also doesn't seem to be hard: let something heat up to 1000C, and don't let much of the energy escape to

Literally 100% of that heat travels from the 1000000C stuff to the environment throught that vacuum. Vacuum doesn't just remove energy. If you use a steam engines it doesn't matter if your source of heat is 900C or 1000000C, all h

"Uniform" means uniform in area in these contexts. It's precise.

I like this reasoning. Define a probability distribution on all circles of (x,y,r>0) based on how likely a given circle is. Then we can just sum the good circles and all the circles. And the probability distribution is simple: a given (x

Do you have a mathematical formulation, or? Ultimately you seem to pick a random definition of computing and size and then work with that?
