There's an engineering principle, if you address a complex problem (or any problem) with a complex system, it's going to be buggy. Addressing complex social issues with complex legislation (Dodd-Frank, Sarbox, etc.) results in loopholes (bu

I have heard (but never confirmed for myself) that the term translated as sin into English from the Torah has more of the sense to miss the mark in the original Hebrew. It appears from this summary this atheist has replaced traditional

I like your analysis, but bear in mind Joel wrote this in 2004. MS did waste time and resource trying to extend Windows to the internet, or somehow wish away the internet. Exactly in what year did MS realize this? Only interesting in so far

This is the kind of article that should more frequently come to the attention of enterprise management. There really is an inverse relationship between the expressiveness of a language and the number of bugs created. (That is, I am taking a

The stats in this table are terribly out of date. I'm not criticizing your post, just pointing it out. Also odd the authors of this article chose to publish 2 numbers for the U.S. I interpret them for corresponding to 2004/1993, which means

Normally I regret using inflammatory language, but in this case I think it invokes the fervor I have seen in most every defense of strong AI I have ever read. Personally I am not a proponent of strong AI. Proponents have, however, built a

Yes, devote was too strong a word. He could have covered everything in the course without using Penrose as his straw man. The point I meant to make is Aaronson builds a considerable intellectual and theoretical case before he uses it to k

It's been a while, but if I recall Penrose basically attacks the notion of "stong AI". Others, e.g. Scott Aaronson, have ripped his argument to shreds. But not to dismiss Penrose's argument too quickly, Aaronson did devote an entire univers

I would not agree power is a zero sum game. Defining it is squishier than defining wealth, and even giving you broad latitude in the definition, I don't think you could come up with much of a proof of that assertion.

I just caught the new 60 Minutes segment by accident. I think I saw the whole thing. It's always fascinating to listen to Zuckerberg. Having said that the segment as a whole was pretty superficial and came off more as a promo for Facebook's
