I get the point that they are in different magnitudes of unknown but the analogy is still pretty good when it comes to the median programmer, who has no idea what goes on within either one. And if you argue that compilers are ultimately det

I would assume same reason why in the nuclear warfare logic, it’s a threat to build anti-missile tech. If you start building nuclear shelters and also have capability for first strike, your adversaries are within their rights to think you a

Yeah, again without really having any education in healthcare, I suppose that if you find a cancer before it spreads then you can operate it out. So makes sense to get suspicious moles or generally any health issues checked

Whatever you work in, chances are you run into situations where you need to choose between multiple solutions, optimize things or generally find out why things aren’t optimal. Your needs are always your needs, and if you are informed about

Imagine being born as a little girl in a country where women haven’t had equal rights to men. Now if you see a woman from your country doing something huge (like go to space), it raises the bar or what you believe you can become. Not zero v

Regarding the immortality talk around the topic. I am not an expert and this is not an informed argument, but intuitively feels this whole ”anti-ageing by chemical cocktails” cannot be sustainable forever. There must be a price for injectin

Should theoretical research of data structures and algorithms have been capped at 1GB in 1980 because that was the biggest single hard drive available back then and you couldn’t store for example a 2GB dataset on a disk?

Dumb example but still example from practical world. Your body (assuming you are a human) has trillions of cells. Each cell way more complicated than what a 1000-dimensional vector can represent, but maybe it could be a loose estimate of so
