To be clear, I'm speaking of Penrose specifically. Penrose goes no further than Godel. He doesn't add anything to Godel's argument about formal systems and statements. All Penrose is saying is that Turing machines can not be

Sigh, they don't claim that. You are also arguing with straw men. I wish people would read what Penrose actually argues instead of just assuming he is an idiot (one of the most brilliant minds of this or any century) because he argues

#1 Not easy. Prove it. Show a Turing machine programmed with ZFC that can not be modeled by a Turing machine programmed with PE. You can not do so because Turing machines are universal. The fact that you claim this is easy tells me you do n

See Penrose argument. He argues that the fact that our minds are not Turing machines allows us knowledge above and beyond what Turing machines are capable of. I don't think this necessarily entails inconsistency, but replying to his ar

"But that's impossible: the second is a logical consequence of the first." No, it is not. It is far from proven that universal physical law can everywhere be simulated by a Turing machine. If you had proof of that you'd

Then I am sorry to say you have no idea what you are talking about. Penrose nowhere claims the human mind is not bound by physical laws. Cite one place where he says anything like this or go home.

So your claim is that the Human mind is a physical machine and that computers are also physical machines and thus both are bound to physical laws... and this negates Penrose how? Do you think Penrose disagrees that the Human mind is bound b

Lots of folks missing the forest for the trees. Objecting to Penrose' argument on the grounds that it assumes Humans are logically consistent when that is no the case misses the point. The claim is that you can not adequately model the

Here is the quote from Gödel supposedly supporting this: "So the following disjunctive conclusion is inevitable: Either mathematics is incompletable in this sense, that its evident axioms can never be comprised in a finite rule, that i

Most interesting part was suggestion that Gödel himself agreed with Penrose argument against Strong AI. I think this will be highly contentious.

I would pay money to see a video camera of Linus' face reading this article. I think we'd probably get impossible new shades of the color red heretofore unknown to humanity.

I think the Judge is very clearly signaling that if any pilfered files were used by Uber that he is intent on getting to the bottom of it. And that all the claims of privilege that Uber has been claiming so far in the expedited discovery is

In the expedited discovery done so far Uber has claimed privilege for huge amounts of requested documents. If you read the order, the Judge is signaling that this isn't going to be allowed to continue. One of the reasons he turned down

It isn't just the order to return the documents. Uber is compelled by June 23rd for a complete and chronological record of everyone at Uber or on behalf of Uber who discussed LIDAR with Anthony and what they talked about. They have to

Contrary, it says that Uber either knew or should have known that he took those 14,000 files and that undoubtedly those files were used by Uber to develop LIDAR. It says that Waymo has shown evidence of trade secret misuse enough to grant p

I think Waymo laywers are very happy with the expedited discovery ruling and the order that Uber must make every effort to compel the return of the 14,000 files. This might not have been the bombshell ruling against Uber that they were hopi

Look at the new discovery that the Judge is allowing Waymo. In effect, Waymo gets to look at all internal LIDAR development at Uber to see if they can find their trade secrets.

A better way to go is port ubuntu-Linux subsystem to QNX 7 like Microsoft did for windows 10. Should be much easier too since QNX is posix compliant. And then QNX Screen <-> wayland integration and you'd have a full fledged desk

How is that an innovation?! Materialists have been asserting since forever that consciousness arises from the brain and that the brain evolved according to Darwin's laws. What is new in Dennett's viewpoint?

It is a critique of the criticism of the review. If the review is wrong and Dennett's point is really just the standard materialistic worldview plus the trivial observation that consciousness evolved according to Darwin's laws, th
