From books? Having anything that's natural language will kill your entropy, way way below correct horse battery staple. Moreso if it's indexed by Google Ngrams.

I didn't have high hopes for this, but the second word of the abstract incorrectly refers to Gamma-hydroxybutyrate as 'GBH'. Many other grammatical errors in the abstract alone. Maybe it's unfair to judge a preprint fo

It takes a fraction of a second to 'pair' my wired headphones to my phone and have music start coming out. With BT I would have to charge them, turn them on, fiddle with a menu, wait for them to connect, and listen to a silly soun

I guess this is a joke because he is writing the compiler (and language, Jai) for his new game. I think he has a team now though.

No, he believes that one of these three things is true: 1. "The fraction of human-level civilizations that reach a posthuman stage (that is, one capable of running high-fidelity ancestor simulations) is very close to zero", or 2.
