There is an extra claim that clarifies the contradiction: Elon Musk is trying to achieve that 10x reduction reducing the tunnel diameter. The author argues this won't work. What I understood is that, if the company indeed was trying to

Although I agree with your general feeling (RPL is mostly a write-only language), RPL is still a quite valid language to add useful formulas in some menus. For example, I still have many programs for electrical circuits, like adding resista

Time-travel is absolutely possible, as long as it is always in the forward direction and at a (relatively) constant pace.

Totally agree. You are more than ten football stadiums right.

Well. To begin with, if the Earth was round, like some people believe, it would fall rolling from the giant turtle's back.

If you have a look at the paper (figure 12), although the actual location of some cities lie outside the predicted confidence regions, the model gives a pretty good hint of where they are. It is easy to see how the study could be followed a

I do not agree with this. The simplest mathematical concepts can look very complicated when presented in a formal way. Learning the geometric product in high school wouldn't be more difficult than learning the dot and cross products, a

Normally, I would say that a strain of 1 would be way too much. A strain of 0.1 would already mean a change of length of 10%, which is probably more than enough to destroy your body. But we are talking about orders of magnitude here, so the

For you, and I'd say the whole HN audience, it is quite obvious that spending money in an AI approach would be extremely useful. For a steel producer, this is not obvious at all, and consider it a long shot. I would even bet that the i

I do not think your professional experience is representative in any way of what is better for very young kids. I know some musicians and I can tell that actually playing the instrument is not the hardest part. That does not mean a toy pian

It looks quite nice. An alternative solution, which requires a modified compiler but avoids the need for a context and errors channel, are the channels used by Clive: https://lsub.org/export/golsub.html I'd really

I would not mind working four days, having one free day, working another three days, and then having a weekend of two days, for example. Indeed, familiarity is the key here, but I am sure we could get used to a week of 10 (or any other numb

I see it as an analogy with how, in maths, to fully understand a complicated concept you must be able to explain it using more and more basic definitions, but that does not mean you have to express everything in basis to fundamental axioms,

I understand the point of your comment. Just the last sentence ("Not being able to...") would have been enough. But your monkey example is confusing, because "=>" usually means "implies", not "because&q

I do not think this is a particularly difficult concept to explain to anyone. A typical example (not difficult to find) and a simple graph are usually good enough for most people.

I'm not looking for a hobby, but thank you for the hint. I was just pointing out that your analogy with Perl was not a very fortunate one. What was being criticized about the language is that it is so simple that it needs too much comp

I see it more like praising Toki Pona because of its simplicity is a bit like praising Brainfuck for its simplicity. Sure, it is easy to learn its handful of commands, but it cannot be used for anything practical.

It is easy to see if a title is clickbait or not. Just change it with some stupidly long title, such as "AlphaGo does not solve the problem of meaning, so it is not AGI" and ask yourself if this title would have generated a simila

Making a group of professionals with unlimited time to arrive to a common conclusion may be a harder challenge than AI. I would love to follow those discussions, but I am not sure they would ever end.

It would be great to teach SL in schools. For the children, it would really funny to be able to "speak" a wordless language, so they will be willing to learn. And I am quite sure that learning a new language always is very benefic

I do not agree this is the case. Can you give an example? How would you express these questions "in more natural ways"? (alternatively, feel free to point me to some example with other questions)

I agree with what you say, but I think there is also a bit of the opposite. We have become desensitised. I remember waiting for minutes to download a picture (with all my family nervous because I was using the only phone line at home) and t

Journals are not supposed to try to reproduce the research of the authors. In any case, that would be the work of reviewers, who are not paid.

The Berry paradox takes this a bit further. It may appear that "the least integer not nameable in fewer than nineteen syllables" is 111777. But "the least integer not nameable in fewer than nineteen syllables" is itself
