You made an incorrect assessment of a basic calculation in algebraic topology and claimed that it was correct. You didn't even look at what it was computing and simply looked at the final answer which lined up with the answer on Wikipe

TypeScript has a Turing complete type system so it's as powerful as it gets in terms of what can be expressed in the type system. As for learning and understanding what is going on with type systems in general you'll have to go th

No one at the commercial AI research labs knows what they're doing. As far as they are concerned there is nothing beyond gradient descent but it's accepted among academic researchers that gradient descent is insufficient for creat

Perfect demonstration of the psychopathic technocratic delusion. You really need to think through what you're actually suggesting.

Eventually people will realize any underdetermined system of equations has infinitely many solutions. Give me any open source AI model and I will beat any SOTA benchmark. Why am I so confident? Because curve fitting can be applied to any da

How do you define an imbalance and an intervention to "fix" them? It's important to use the correct terms to avoid biased frames and conclusions. In this case they're defining certain measurable features as anomalous amo

You're using circular logic. You are assuming all physical processes are computational and then concluding that the brain is a computer even though that's exactly what you assumed to begin with. I don't find this argument con

It's like asking if a probability distribution is truthful or a liar. It's a category error to speak about algorithms as if they had personal characteristics.

So what is your question? The standard definition of a topos spells out the structural constraints for subobject classifier, finite limits, and Cartesian closure. You can write out these definitions for the topos of sets and any "small

None of your examples are expressible in first order logic either. Those are all instances of mathematical structures which can be formalized in different toposes with different logics. Groups in the topos of sets are different from groups

The category of sets is a topos and can be expressed/presented with first order classical logic but the general logic of toposes is intuitionistic and non-classical. There is no single topos with a single logic, each topos has its own

The logic of toposes is higher order intuitionistic logic. The logic of higher toposes is presumed to be intensional dependent type theory. The best introduction to these logics is probably the homotopy type theory book.

Still doesn't make sense. So it's 100% after 20 years or does that mean if it doesn't happen in 20 years then it's never going to happen? In any case, these predictions have been happening for 50 years and it's alwa

Rarely will you be in compliance after they flag your account. There are various agencies that oversee them so they'd rather get rid of any kind of liability like your business before the auditing agencies catch on and fine them. Every
