Much worse than that. I wanted to get some free shipping supplies from FedEx, so I had to sign up for a shipping account. Account could not be created due to password issues on the website, forgot how I got around it but maybe had to use th

I urge you to go back and look at how Kolmogorov complexity is defined. It includes the notion that a program needs to decide whether to output the string directly or to generate it from some program. You're assuming Alice and Bob have

Not true either. The original Kolmogorov complexity is for finite strings. Plus, the program would need to store that for whichever special strings you choose you will use this function but for other ones not. That will be a giant table tha

Nothing in physics is more basic than something else, as there are equivalent formulations in other quantities. Energy and momentum are as real as matter and motion. Matter is bundles of energy exhibiting inertia and motion is just some tra

That's already happening unfortunately. Voice print in call centers is pretty much omniscient, knowing your identity, age, gender, mood, etc. on a call. They do it in the name of "security", naturally. But nobody ever asked y

That's why all electric heating should be devices that do work or compute. Do not waste the Gibbs free energy of the universe.

They didn't miss anything. They're just double counting utility. Same thing would happen to get warm next to a computer. You pay for electricity once, and use the computer while getting cozy.

It for sure is not because of ethical concerns. There is a higher bar to clear to burn cash when other projects are delivering high ROI. That sort of thing will never come out of Google in that form, since the post-Google Labs days.

Lol, it doesn't scale because of the quality of the programmer, not because of the language. There may be some self-selection there but it isn't because of the language or tooling. Any "too easy" language brings these co

Linear transformations preserve the structure of the space so you can keep applying them. It's not surprising that you can always find some "space-preserving" part of a problem and fold the rest (the "non-linear" st

That usually means the representation is getting close to the truth. Good interfaces have intrinsic value, which many result-focused people do not appreciate.

There was never an XY problem to start with. There is an answer to this question and an answer to that question. Convincing someone to ask a different question is not answering a question, it's mentoring.
