Why does it imply a simulation? Perhaps it can be explained by an anthropic argument: Perhaps the kind of mechanics behind spacetime in which time evolution is computed in a stepwise manner depending on density are extraordinarily more like

Very interesting. I'm wondering whether statistics-based photo synthesis is actually viable. The main problem is that many kinds of scenes appear to require a precise geometrical understanding, e.g. sharp shadows that get cast on detai

I've tried to understand what are you saying, but I didn't get it. Would you care explaining it in simpler terms? Would you argue that our system is much more based on taxation than on decentralization of decision making? Isn&#x27

The coming decades will surely going to be interesting as we are getting better at arbitrarily manipulating matter in a cheap way. It seems to me that the power of the individual could just become too big. There is a good reason why we dece

Could we please ban MIT news and instead link to the actual articles. http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/v484/n7394/abs/nature11... The reporting on MIT news is usually pretty vague and it lacks s

Intuitively I think, the problem is much simpler compared to web search because it's a much smaller graph and each node gets checked against reality in some sense, while on the market and on Google things mostly only get compared with
