I used to work on software for medical devices. Are you suggesting this software won't hurt people if it fails? Software runs our telephone networks and the telephones themselves. Are you suggesting the inability to contact emergency s

It doesn't increase compile times. The type information is already there for type checking.

They're not really silly moves, it's just that in order to get into a good state for AlphaGo, Lee Sedol would have to miss the obvious response to those moves.

Those moves look like AlphaGo had calculated a loss way ahead of time.

A recpie is no less a form of speech for it's need of the use an oven. A muscal score is no less speech because of it's need of use of an instrument. Mathematical expressions are considered speech. Why should code be any different

Resonance is quite a bad term if that's what you use it for. Resonance would require some amount of positive feedback. Vibration or oscillation would be a much better terms for simple periodic changes.

Einstein–Cartan theory is the only viable classical alternative. I am unfamiliar with modern alternatives to comment.

Non-local hidden variable theories are viable, however, such as de Broglie–Bohm. I don't think Eistein would've liked those much either due to 'spooky action at a distance'.

'Probable cause' doesn't require 99% accuracy. It's a legal term with a well-defined definition. 'Probable cause' is slightly higher that 'reasonable suspicion' but much lower than 'beyond all re

I don't think this is very surprising; if you do something unsafe hapharzardly within an unsafe block you can put the program in a state a safe program would not be able to reach, so further computation is in an unsafe state. In fact i

The entire point of "memory-hardness" and "anti-parallelisation" and other such properties is to make it such that the CPU is the most desireable platform to for the password stretching function to run. Why is this desir

A more apt comparison is this: A single SpaceX F9 rocket can lift three Blue Origin New Shepards into orbit at 200km altitude (vs merely touching space at 100km) and then come back to land .

The issue with something like CRISPR is that it is inheritable. Not "inheritable and may eventually die out" inheritable, but "inheritable and all future generations from that point on would have it" inheritable. Usually

Lojban was inspired by an earlier version of Loglan, and has much the same goals. It also has the advantage of having a far more active community.
