I've read both. The first was the most impactful to me personally. The way he uses Gödels theorems to argue against the computability of consciousness is actually quite ingenious and it's presented in such a straightforward way th

Such a joy to see Sir Roger Penrose awarded with this honor. One of my favorite contemporary intellectuals. If anyone hasn't seen it, I recommend his recent appearance on the Lex Fridman podcast: https://www.youtube.com&#x2F

True, but I'd still go as far as to say the majority of illnesses western people in their 40's are suffering from could have been avoided with different lifestyle choices. If I hadn't kept fitness and eating healthy as a prio

Exactly. As a counterexample, I'm approaching 40 in the best physical and mental shape of my life. You simply have to take responsibility for your own health, especially if your job involves sitting on your ass for extended hours every

Very cool, thanks for sharing. Currently sitting in the early drawing board stage of a potential portfolio tool for a small pool of asset managers in my north-European country, so this was very interesting to look at.

Yes, but that seems like a clunky add-on. Something as basic as iterating the characters in a string should not require special constructs like this IMO.

Even then they fumbled the execution. Why on earth would they make streams without support for native types?

Swing is a horror show from both a developer and an end-user perspective, don't know why you would even mention that. Windows desktop apps based on Forms or WPF are in another league both in terms of ease of development and user experi

I'm a Norwegian and I suspect they don't want to put the compensation higher because of public perception within Norway. If someone was pulling 10 mln USD from the public purse I can guarantee the left leaning press would have som

I think his biggest mistake is that he's focused so much on two issues that make it easy to paint him in a negative light. If I was a native Nigerian and some rich white guy started building abortion centres and injecting people with n

Like it or not, he's become a highly controversial figure for a large fraction of the population, particularly within the societies that his foundation works. In my opinion, they'd do good to pick a figure whose name is less tarni

There was also fireworks going of just before the blast. Storing 2750 tons of AN next to a fireworks cache seems cartoonishly stupid. https://twitter.com/ConflictsW/status/1290681902781861888?s=...

The 'off world vehicle' comment was made by Eric Davis, a man who has been talking about UFOs for several years and has ties to parapsychologists and the like. I hate to shoot the messenger, but I take his claim with a good pinch

Turkey leadership may well be sympathetic to the Saudis to some extent. Freedom of press doesn't exactly seem like their biggest concern, and they have an authoritarian Muslim ruler.

Somebody can have a disposition for psychotic illness and live a whole lifetime without it manifesting. Drugs could be the trigger that destroys that person's life. Maybe these drugs should be allowed to be used in certain clinical set

My first attempt at coding was with a Java Programming For Dummies book around the Java 1.1 era, using applets. That was a terrible choice for 12 year old non-native english speaking me, and I never got too far. Somehow I ended up trying QB

Which is of course extremely cynical, as this is a very bad time to be tossed out into the job market.

I highly recommend Road to Reality by Roger Penrose. Takes you all the way from classical through modern physics, and introduces all the necessary math. Gives you a good overview of the territory, but you might want to supplement with some

I have in-laws in Nigeria. We just tipped them off a couple of days ago that now might be a good time to buy some Chloroquine and keep at the house, in case the situation gets worse. This is a commonly known medicine down there, that you ca

I suspect that by this time next week, one or more major exchanges will have trouble meeting dollar withdrawal demands, and it will become more and more obvious that USDT (Tether) has been printed massively out of thin air to prop up Bitcoi

Any devs out there with a Visual Studio/MSDN as subscription should also be aware of their free Azure credit. I get 50$/Mo, which is more than enough to host a static site with CDN (my blog typically runs at around 1-2$).

Pigs in particular have it pretty bad, in factory farms in general. Ever heard of a gestation crate? Imagine being stuck in a box on a concrete floor forced to look straight ahead for months on end. That's the life of the average pig i
