Your example of the Go AI being programmed to learn is not all that accurate for what has been achieved here. I didn't keep the link for the discussion on the confounding of the Go AI system. What the discussion covered though was that

With your example of "Turing Complete", we know what cannot be done and in this way, we have enumerated the things that can be done, if you like. You appreciate the humour required for the up-arrow notation - a very human quality.

The question to ask is why? The answer is that we have programmed these systems to do what we require. They cannot exceed but they fail becasue of errors that we have placed in these systems. All of the tasks that you have mentioned have be

It is impossible to enumerate all the things that we humans do. However, we can enumerate all the things that we create can do. Every system we create has its limitation due to the limitations that we create in them. All systems we create c

I don't know how many of you have looked at age estimates for both the universe and the earth over time. What to me is an interesting observation is that an age is calculated on "best" information at the time. Then comes alon

The language classifications section was an attempt at humour. I am currently trying to [understand] the quirky translation of ScratchPad to Common Lisp used within the Axiom/FriCAS systems. You see the same sort of problems in Maxima

A couple of decades ago, I was being interviewed for a position as the support developer. The interviewer asked me to tell what a piece of code was meant to do. I responded by by telling him that without context, the code was quite unclear.

The question to ask is whether or not any algorithmic system is capable of exceeding the programming on which it is based. This question applies to every kind of system we have developed over the years. The other point to make is that we al

Artificial stupidity (AI) is still stupidity. If you want to deal with people (in any circumstance) don't depend on computer systems to give advice as these systems have no comprehension at all, let alone any intelligence.

The CMB is far less uniform than it should be. From an observational POV, we can see light coming to us from all directions radially towards us. We treat the speed as an essentially constant value, even though we know this is false in reali

If you shine a light on a detector, you measure the time it takes to travel both legs. What is being said is that all we can know is the average time from when it leaves us to when it gets back to us (i.e. the sensor results). It could well
