You are moving away from the topic, which is the question of whether AIs know true and false. Your first statement was that "they don't know true and false, because they don't know anything in the cognitive sense of using inn

There is this bar in the center of Tokyo which hosts live coding sessions: https://metropolisjapan.com/hackers-bar/ To be honest, I've only heard of this place, but it sounds very promising.

You make a valid point: I used the word "bug" here without trying first to define it, and that led to confusion in my mind, and thus in my comment. In that comment, I used the example of programs performing an ascending sort or a

Thank you, that's exactly what I had in mind when speaking about strongly typed languages. I don't think I could have presented it in a better way.

The way you use the word "correct" is interesting: in PL theory circles, it usually means : "bug free", but it appears that you use it to mean: "produces the results I'm looking for". Indeed, one may write

It's interesting. I remember seeing the air duct on CPU in Dell servers a long time ago, I wonder if they still do that. Also, it would have been nice for the author to try each duct individually, so as to better understand their role

Well, I don't think that network at the time was faster than SCSI, but that's a fair point that X11 isn't quite "internet ready" (though these days with a dedicated VPN you'd probably get very good performance

No, but any other source (eg. headers) used during the compilation process might be owned by a third party. A crack does not compile anything, but even if you go that road, it will be argued anyway that the patch which is applied is copyrig
