I disagree with the last sentence. If you have some terminology you don't like, provide an alternative. Main is fine. But like what is the alternative to cargo cult provided here? It's a very concise representation of a pretty com

The quantum performance thing is real, but that the random circuit sampling problem they are tabling as the benchmark here is for a quantum circuit. So really what is being claimed is that classical computers can't easily simulate quan

I think there are people that have intentionally swallowed some tapeworm eggs for a similar reason to this.

How do they know this? What are you talking about? What other operation ever conducted do you think even comes close? Thousands of detonations and a fraction of 1% with any effect off target? What other operation do you think comes even clo

Three grams of explosives in each device used by a hostile military organization. I don't think it could possibly be more targeted. Literally just devices issued by Hezbollah themselves to their own members. Maybe it wasn't perfec

I think it would look something like that if you were looking directly east, since the distance and the perspective would bring it to the vanishing point in the center of the image. So, from that POV, the rings would not be able to go past

There is a disproportionate amount of LEO satellites in polar orbits. Particularly morning time sun-synchronous polar orbits. If everything in that orbit (the most crowded one) starts kessler syndroming it up, I think all the junk would mos

You are making this sound absurd, but what if you actually can build some kind of AGI like that.

> Then we will never be able to find the Nth beaver number for the corresponding N. This is pretty clearly what people are asking about when asking if BB(6) is "uncomputable" then. I understand (now) the point about the specifi

I was on this exact same journey, so our taste must be similar. Love his stuff. Just in case our taste is VERY similar, I have really enjoyed every book I've read so far except the middle book in the Orthogonal series. The first was gr

So, one thing that we know from Godel is that there are true statements that cannot be proven. What if a similar proof is made for a Beaver? That a specific beaver is constructed such that 1: It probably never halts 2: Proving that it neve

Yes, this is clearly true. Pardon the hasty first reading and deleted comment please. It doesn't address what I am claiming though. The busy beaver is not defined entirely by halting vs not-halting. Looping beavers are excluded as well

by Aeium 2y ago
_the second form surely exists_ Is this true for the BB function though? What if there is a beaver that never halts or loops, and has behavior sufficiently complex, such that it's impossible to prove it will never halt. Then for rules

Isn't saying BB(6) is computable the same as assuming that it is an integer? I thought this was not necessarily true. For example, one beaver might halt after some integer number of steps. This would be the potentially very large integ

If I had a dime for every time I've seen someone judgmentally compare Israel to fictional protagonists. "Luke Skywalker would just use the force to rescue the hostages. Have you considered that? I'm improving the world with m

Isn't this just going to make the surface more alkaline by pumping the acid (co2 rich) surface layer deeper down? Then the surface can in turn absorb more co2, but I think at the end of the day the ocean overall will have more dissolve
