Lolita, the book, is not about kidnapping of a girl or any kind of perversity. It is about futility and pains of worshipping a fleeting beauty, which is a temporary state of approaching perfection (beauty is youth + health. Proximity of a l

Memes, memes everywhere.. Existential depression, my ass! Gifted adults, and even children, would surely read things like Stepenwolf, On The Road, Cuckoos Nest, Nausea, Age Of Reason and the likes and cure themselves. Depression is nothing

You forgot the precision of language usage and precision and clarity of definitions, which has been the foundation of math - the way to deal with meaningful abstractions, and then so called computer science, where naming, clarity and reduce

The evil demon which Descartes described is very real - it is one's own mind conditioned by dogmas, traditions and so called collective consciousness, and the illusions that such a mind produces are as good as real. Simulations can tel

Probabilities could be correctly applied only for fully observable and well defined cases like of an unbiased dice or a fair coin. Everything else is a misapplication and should be regarded as a type error. Frequency based approach is the r

So, are there different species of people?)

"Reusable integers" is a real fail - it violates the principle of least surprise and introduces a nasty inconsistency - all integers should logically be (refer to) the same integer object, not just the first 100. Assert is a st

The meaning of the term pattern-matching here is "mechanical" rather than "mathematical". Think of shapes of the proteins in an enzime. Their structure defines behavior of an enzime, and only a molecule that match (with

While Chomsky's attempt to formalize a grammar is wonderful, the probabilistic approach (based on weights) to language advocated by Norvig is, it seems, more close to what is going on inside the brain. Brain does not perform recursive

Presumably, they want to push just a new DRM tech. That's why your headphones and speakers must have a wireless (digital) interface. Apple is a digital content distribution company in the first place.

Yeah, all they want is a simple mechanism of how to jump from a mere "blind", mechanistic feature extraction to the notion that creatures of this Nature usually have two eys and make a hard-wired heuristic, a short-cut which impro

I would not attempt to "review" the man who wrote Scanner Darkly or Do Androids Dream Of Electric Sheep, or The Game-Players of Titan. It is jus as if a PHP or Java EE coder would try to review the Common Lisp code from AIMA or PA
