I guess twitter is too busy (not) scaling to add features that only take 18 hours.

They say you can't link to anything "offensive"? That is a blanket clause that lets them say you have violated their terms whenever they want. It's also a wildly unreasonable restriction on your freedom.

As much as I admire Howard Roark, could you explain more clearly how we hackers can take credit for him?

"nothing ever moves" does not mean that no blocks in the block universe are related in such a way that we can reasonably say the same object is in both. and if the same object is in two or more blocks of the universe, which are different ti

A hen is a machine which can turn food (including omelets) into eggs. It doesn't matter where the hen came from. The point is one can build a machine to do this.

Heh. Someone else told me today that I use "a lot of very emotive language" like a "preacher".

How does doing that benefit you? What's the reason to do it?

The form of my post was to make correct, logical points. That is not trolling. The fact I had an honorable motivation -- learning -- does not suddenly make my posts worse.

Did you consider whether I would enjoy your post, prior to posting it? I wanted to learn something. Why did you post?

Few, because they didn't have an answer to the problem of design. (Plus, back then, science and industry had yet to give a stunning demonstration of the power of human reason over nature.)

I didn't argue with that, or ask for an answer of that type, or say that davidw did anything wrong other than misread lisper's post. I thought the waterfall development link basically answered the question about advanced planning. I'm mostl

My post is simply about logic and who said what. Nothing more. Why can't you read it rationally? And, BTW, if you and other parents can't read it rationally, why should I believe you handle parenting matters rationally? Parenting matters ar

You still haven't thought about what his words meant. You said you were facing a certain problem "now", 2 months after the child was born. You could have made your decision about how to handle it prior to the child being born. If you'd done

One would hope the reason is: geeks more often manage to understand evolution properly.

A computer can try each TM one by one in the same way the humans did. If you're talking about the halting problem now, humans also don't know whether the TM they are manually simulating will halt eventually. And you still haven't said speci

You're telling me that a computer cannot simulate steps of a turing machine, one at a time? it can't store the current state of the turing machine, and the rules, in memory, and use the rules to get from one state to the next? Are you reall

You haven't said which step he took to compute it which a turing machine can't do.

How is it relevant whether there are any fixed representations in the brain? self-modifying code could achieve that. there is no reason to believe that bringsjord can solve that problem and a computer can't. divide his method of solving it

computers can be programmed to do estimation and statistics and that sort of thing. they can also have sensors and feedback mechanisms, and calculate anything the forces of physics would do. evolution can also take place within a computer.

One cannot present evidence to differentiate between two theories unless they are both coherent and make clear and different predictions. Arguments against theories is a valid way to deal with them; so is asking questions to clarify what th
