Many worlds is deterministic, but not in the same sense that people might think of, right. The evolution of the wavefunction (which never collapses like in Copenhagen) is deterministic, but in any given world, random draws are appearing.

This is really cool and getting close to the kind of video games that engulf people's lives in some science-fiction books.

I think he means it would be expensive to inject randomness all the time instead of just letting a rule-based system go from state to state deterministically.

Can you supply a non-deterministic process, where the non-determinism is fundamental and not a way to quantify a lack of information about the system?

Can someone knowledgeable in the field explain to me what the implications of a deterministic universe would be for quantum computing? Correlated noise ruining any useful computation? (I know about Bell's theorem but I think it uses ci

What is long term starvation in this context? Is a week already long term? The second point also goes against what I recall reading about cancer in calorie-restricted animals (I may be wrong). The basal metabolic rate angle is interesting,

So our ancestors would just die of starvation and get weaker and weaker, while keeping their fat stores?

If that is true, then why even have fat instead of extra muscle? Burning muscle before fat makes no evolutionary sense.

Could you supply a research article by this person from UCSF? This sounds very interesting!

This seems promising, although I must admit that Magic Leap mostly interests me due to the continued involvement of Neal Stephenson.

In what sense are we sure that natural language actually contains these long-term dependencies (i.e. k > 25) in such abundance that they would show up in datasets of current size? When I was younger, I took Latin, and while some of the s
