Still begging the question using fuzzy terms. "If computers are sort of good they are very good!" That statement doesn't mean anything concrete. Don't the recent results in GO invalidate : if(computers can compete) {humans have to be perfe

What do you mean "where computers can compete"? That is just begging the question. Is it ok to assume Turing based computation will go where you say they will go?

There is a category for super Turing computation - hypercomputation. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypercomputation . There is a whole hierarchy of such problems/machines http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arithmetical_hierarchy

Humming produces NO too ( http://ajrccm.atsjournals.org/cgi/content/full/166/2/144 ). Maybe that is why people like humming?

"So the bigger lake in the Spring was making the particle heavier." I am not sure which effect the quote describes: a slight change in the mass or a change in the instrument. Both are different. If it is the former I should be able to meas

I think the mass actually changed. If you move, your mass increases w.r.t to an inertial frame. The closer you travel to the speed of light the more mass you get. I think mass also changes when the gravitational field changes. The device p

General AI is not applicable in real life yet. Probabilistic reasoning can be subsumed into a logic system. For example, a human(David Lowe) has originated SIFT. A reasoning system should in principle be able to derive SIFT. We are not the

Well, messiness is just one part of the problem. I usually see AI as a layered system that solves a general problem. The layers are broadly: lower level sensory systems(vision, speech recognition) and higher level symbolic reasoning systems

AI contests like this and the DARPA Grand Challenge Race encourage solutions in a single domain. AFAIK in the DARPA Challenge there was overfitting and I doubt the generalization capability of the systems involved. We need more contests in

Improvements in hardware are a necessary condition for AI. They are not sufficient. The other necessary conditions are algorithms (correct and efficient). The latter is much much more difficult. That is the biggest bottleneck in AI not hard

I think lectures are better/detailed due to feedback from the audience. The lecturer can guess when to go fast and when to go slow(and explain more) by gauging the audience. In some cases the author of a book can guess what his audience can

English London has been replaced by multi-cultural London. There is no net loss of diversity here. Old cultures die and new ones form (just like languages, species etc). There is nothing to cry over here. I am in favor of a global state whi

I am not saying cultures should disappear. What I meant was national and other imaginary boundaries have engendered wars, genocides and other evils. Bringing boundaries down will not makes us clones in a 1984 like manner but may give rise t

Most of the evil in this world comes from people believing in and fighting over imaginary borders.

My wild hypothesis is that as you go from 2D to 3D navigation, the cognitive load increases to a level which is much more than a normal human can handle. (Similar to 2D matching being polynomial time and 3D matching being NP-Complete). It w

One TOS to rule them all : "We can change this TOS anytime and your agreement to this TOS implies agreement to any changes made to it" No need to have anything more in it.

Just because there is no name for this operation does not mean it is not valid (or meaningful). There are many mathematical constructs which do not have any physical meaning.
