Has any of the presenters discussed the relevance of Moore's Law to RISC-V essentially being an open standard for commodity hardware (I think Dave Patterson has argued for this, akin to USB or internet protocol standards)? As in, in th

Serious, nonrhetorical question, are you suggesting that Turing Award recipient Dave Patterson who is currently on the RISC-V board is somehow dishonest with their philosophy and approaching being taken here?

I can understand that because you are not the first college professor I've interacted with. You had one chance to say something and yet you left it as an afterthought. That is the proof of your bias as a professional academic. Instead

I thought it was written by scientistic 1960s psychologists but it is actually from 2018, peak CBT pseudoscience.

Imagine Alan Turing's defense being a summary of 3 papers. The actual issue is that advanced education is increasingly not about doing fundamental scholarship but a pipeline for (re)producing a clerisy-intellectual class. There are a l

That's based on a well known fallacy, because analog models cannot exceed the computational power of Turing machines. The alternative position is Penrose who thinks quantum tubules are responsible for consciousness and thus somehow mor

The conception here is that one's layered abstractions is basically an informal mathematics... which is formally structured... which is a formal grammar. It's your internal language, using internal symbols instead of English names

But that's like how I memorize sheet music, visual groups and subgroups of notes, and yet sheet music is formally linguistic nevertheless. So in such debates I think a tricky pitfall to avoid is that all data structures are essentially

Nobody, people are just crying because Chomsky calls them out, rationally, on their intellectual and/or political bullshit, and this behavior is known as projection.

Did Vardi write about this? I only found some other authors instead; is it possible you are referring to Yuri Manin instead? : From https://arxiv.org/pdf/1010.2067 "Manin and Marcolli [20] derived similar results

I met the author informally once but didn't know "who" he was, a famous academic scientist and professor etc. He read my paper and caught a math typo. :) Regarding the article, I feel like there's some context missing, i

Oh no, I was confused because a lot of people say to try probiotic pills, but for many people they just don't work. So when you originally wrote half a bottle that confused me, I interpreted it as you were doing something different tha

It's consultant bullshit research, not even doing proper science. For example it talks about the popularity of PvP--the actual argument it wants to say is, companies should develop single-player games because existing PvP games are loc
