I would think so. Who says that's not happening now? It seems reasonable that evolutionary pressure can be strong enough to have a significant impact in 1-2 generations (for example due to the introduction of a new environmental threat

The article clearly defines someone who always lies to mean they only make false statements. It's not hard or ambiguous to determine various scenarios in which "all my hats are green" is false. The solution article also discu

I'm not a scientist because of fraud and other reason related to academia, but I thought one of the tennets of an experiment was reproducibility. Were his experiments reproduced independently? Why not?

There is a trivial solution to this. Store your own copy (or hash, or whatever) of the article and don't rank it until your copy is at least a month old. The idea is still nonesense because some other search engine will show up witho

> by default repetition makes things worse instead of better Can you elaborate on this a bit? My intuition is that, by default, statistical models benefit from larger N. But I have no experience in quantum physics.

The second article mentions delay based and rollback both of which seem to be appropriate for peer to peer graphs, but there is a third option: server authority. I created a game with mechanics very roughly analogous to fighting games (nebu

I had the same thought. 60-80 years is probably longer than the average lifespan 5,000 years ago, so a surprising period for a "tradition".

I had a similar experience earlier in my education. "Learning" sine and cosine was nothing compared to understanding it well enough to use in a 2d game. I went from struggling with standard algebra classes to getting 5s on AP Calc
