I understand where you're coming from, but I'm curious to know when do you think anthropomorphism or personification of an AI would be justified, and if the answer is never then what is the reasoning behind it?

There are quite a few out there. I played with gecode as well as https://choco-solver.org/ which I found intuitive and fun to use.

I also find it amazing that human societies survive at all. it would be interesting to find the answer to what is the minimum inefficiency required for a complex system to stop functioning. Of course, this question itself needs more precisi

>If you want to know what a person is really like, watch how they treat the staff in a restaurant. Power reveals the true character of those who hold it. This is the only part of the article I am in total agreement with. The rest is just

Refreshingly thought-provoking suggestions. Hilarious relevant cartoons too.

TLDR: When the means become the end, things start going downhill fast. Is this TLDR too efficient?

I never really understood the advantage of a mind map tool over a good tree-oriented note taking/task organizing tool. In fact I prefer the use of screen real-estate in a simple tree than a mind-map. Is this just a matter of personal t

Agree in general, though I have read about cases where a neural network was reverse engineered to create a solution that did not require one.

The thing that is missing in Asimov's claim is that is no scale to understand just how relatively wrong we are at any point, so we can only feel smug about how relatively wrong previous understandings are but to someone from a far more

The crony belief that people aught to be more well off and happier should be addressed separately. Claiming it as a true statement is of course problematic (especially "aught to"), but I have discovered a truly remarkable proof of

First, not all crony beliefs have to be necessarily false :) But seriously - if you are presented with evidence that when not all citizens have human rights then everyone is more well-off and happier than when all citizens have human rights

I'd suggest the following method to those who have the courage to remove crony beliefs: First, ask yourself "Can I clearly articulate and convey my belief, both to myself and to others?" Continue to the next step only after y

Isn't abiogenesis just a fancy way of saying that somehow life began from organic compounds that were created by inorganic means? To my understanding the somehow part is exactly the reason why we don't have enough information to

Both parts you mentioned are derived from the Wikipedia formulation which is that "no matter what value of n, the sequence will always reach 1", but the subject of possible non trivial loops is an interesting one to contemplate fr

At some point I gave the Collatz conjecture some thought and understood the probabilistic intuition of why it should be the case. Although I obviously couldn't prove it, I decided to write my thoughts on why it is intuitively obvious [

In an authoritarian regime with large masses of human and technological resources determined to have control over its population, nothing is really secure. Sending a message that can't be read by a third party? You're suspect. Hav

I wonder how beating procrastination can be bootstrapped. A professional procrastinator will also procrastinate reading this article even though they know it's exactly what they need. For example, I clicked the "how to be ultra sp

Love of life is not the same as fear of death. If the latter is what drives the search for longevity then it will never be enough. So long as longevity isn't used to find peace with life and death, and transcend our limited perspective

Interesting, thank you - I'll do some research.

You are absolutely correct and I even deleted an entire section in my original post how things are never just black or white but it got too long. Thanks for bringing it up.

Not directly related to the article, but going through the comments, I felt the vibes and wanted to express my theory about what it is that irritates many of the commenters here The highest pursuit is the search for truth. This includes the
