Do you have any opinion on 'consistent histories'?

Could it be that the cerebellum is merely a communication channel for other parts of the brain which are more focused on cognition. After injury one would not expect immediate re-routing of these channels.

Also, I was thinking more along the lines of using randomness + probabilistic models to shortcut the actual calculations involved. Since quantum mechanics already involves a lot of probability (to which depth we don't really understand

That makes sense. However if the classical computer were strategically directed to the corners of the [search] space that are interesting, maybe interesting results could arise. It would be hard to have any sort of confidence in those I sup

Well, I didn't specify what type of computer must be used. :-) It should be possible with a quantum computer, yea? Then it merely becomes rewriting one NP-hard problem in terms of another one (one being related to the refraction of l

Why must computer models use the classical model? Isn't it possible to encode what we know about quantum mechanics in a simulation and see what comes of it?

I actually found his appearance in this video rather charismatic. There was clearly a divine light within this great luminary even at that humble point in his exceptional history.

I think you meant 'inferior'.

Gödel did not prove that mathematics could not 'be proved consistent'. He proved that particular axiomatic systems cannot be both complete and consistent.

So don't publicize the fact that you are 'learning' while you 'practice'. Just show the end result and it will likely be better than their language 'experts' could have done in any comparable [or infinite]

Another possibility is that one (or more) of the 3 installs spyware on the other collaborators before the generation (or at least before the subsequent destruction) of the private keys. Then the attacker waits a while and then combines all

Not true. The F# compiler is self-hosting as is the C# compiler. See: https://github.com/fsharp/fsharp & https://roslyn.codeplex.com/

Have we really? There seems to be a lot of this very sort of push back against higher-level languages like Haskell & Scala. I just recently debated a colleague on the merits of AltJS languages. He's of the opinion that Javascript i

> But that's not what actually happened, as far as I can see; Linus' post on the GCC bug tracker appears to have gotten the GCC developers to pay attention to the bug, not to ridicule Linus for using nice language on their bug

by yohanatan 12y ago
As you so aptly pointed out, the GCC maintainers are no fools but rather mature, competent professionals. I think the explanation that it was a simple oversight is far more likely than malice or incompetence.

I think if you read the entire thread it should be clear that the topic of conversation was in fact "the lack of kindness in Mr Torvalds' public persona". It is in fact your attempt to focus on whether Linus was actually &quo

Looks like you chose to nitpick two minor points of my last message instead of focusing on the single substantial point which still remains. However, I will still respond to your nitpicks: public is public. If you don't want to be seen

Maybe it would help if you read the conversation again. I'll paste here for convenience: >>>>>> Linus just being Linus (paraphrased). >>>>> That may be so but I'm pretty sure that pretty much every

Well, these were both very public forums. And the fact remains that Linus' behavior on his mailing list (i.e., in the comfort of his own lair) was rather silly and childish. I don't think anyone with his level of experience with

Not at all. I was making no positive logical argument. Merely pointing out the flaw in the one I responded to. To put it plainly, the post I responded to made the claim: "Linus was nice when he posted it to the GCC list; therefore ever
