People who can't play games against people who are better than them are over-competitive and lazy! It's more fun when you play against skilled players, you learn more! I've never understood that personality trait, and I love

Landauer's principle intuitively: the laws of physics are reversible, and therefore two distinct states (1 or 0) always map to two distinct states (1 or 0, evolved). So how can you erase a bit - take a 1 or 0 and map them to a 0? The a
