QuantumG

One day you'll understand how valuable it was to have a person with knowledge and their own thoughts.

Whereas you would previously (for your first example) have a conversation with the guy at the video store and he'd not only tell you the movie but also recommend something else you might like.

What you really want is a story telling engine informing the world model and the humans need to generate power.

CiteSeer we barely knew you.

What are you doing here then?

Oh, so you're the sucker.

All sizzle, no steak.

What?

If you're gunna post a blog, at least choose one that writes well.

Not everyone cares about that.

I'll try. Thanks.

Dang.

As we're detached, let me say that ycombinator used to be a place that attracted the best of the best. One could come here and talk to people who knew their shit and had something to say.

What happened?

Normal physical processes are not deterministic. You don't need to speculate on a source of non-determinism, it's right there in the substrate. Penrose's entire argument is based on a fallacy (you need quantum effects for a system to be non-deterministic) and we've known this since the double-pendulum.

In which case go read fiction. There's plenty of it. Stop polluting the space with gibberish. A joke article with 50000 citations is no longer a joke.

What fiction? QNTM did a great job and it's all available for free. qntm.org

I am a dumb person. Ask me about colours sometime.
