The real understanding builds on not knowing. Once I realise I don't know something I cease thinking and start watching the thing. Then somehow I understand. We do have a mechanism similar to LLMs but it provides…
This is a military tech.
We used both terms, the WW term meant the overall event and the other one was for the Soviet part that started June 22, 1941 and ended in 1945, first in Germany, the main victory, the in Far East in the war with Japan.…
There have to be some limitations on the language for this to work. For example, there must be no way to specify a neverending loop or to lock something and forget to unlock, an so on.
It solves a hard problem. For example, it completely insulates the sender from the fact that his transaction is just one among many others.
There are private efforts in Russia, but mostly they digitize Soviet-time books written in Russian or maybe in other languages spoken in Russia. (As far as I know, that is; I am, of course, not aware of the whole…
It was their own software; and it was long time ago, so I didn't think it was still functioning, but, to my surprise, it still is: https://vif2ne.su/nvk/forum/0/0.htm
Everything is entertainment in the modern world. On the other hand, as William James wrote, one of definite characteristics of a religious experience is seriousness. "All is not vanity."
I frequented a forum with a two-pane UI with a tree in one page and the text in another. It encouraged long posts; was used for political and historical discussions. And what was amazing was that it had a seamless NNTP…
Exactly. C. S. Lewis participated in many arguments about Christianity. He was a professor and had a very good memory (the biography says "total recall") so he was a formidable opponent. Yet he himself wrote in private…
I actually wanted to write "apparatus"; not sure if this would be any better though :)
Thanks, will add that to my reading list. Inheritance is both good and not so good. The problem it solves is in a way unique and the very fact that it solves it is indeed quite a feat. But the solution is rather crude.…
Yes, this is exactly what I'm saying. Objects, closures, co-routines and eventually state machines, which was the first concept, I think, all revolve around the same core thing. We keep returning to it because this is…
Behavior is a good clue. The current model, even with data, lacks behavior. It has a method, which is like a message we send to it. But it does not seem to give it enough behavior, even though we don't make any…
Data will indeed be necessary. But data in OOP are interesting: they are not supposed to be directly visible. They are like the method body: there is one, but it is not important what it is. So if we add data, it will…
There was a Soviet philosopher, Evald Ilyenkov, whose books taught me about a "minimal working model". I'll explain it in my own words. People do not think with words: people think with things. Words serve merely as…
AI is way more similar to a person who is dreaming or has a serious psychiatric disorder. But there is no awakeness or health it descended from and thus no recover.
A controller has to be at least as complex as what it is supposed to control.
It ain’t what you don’t know that gets you into trouble. It’s what you know for sure that just ain’t so.
Russians do not do that. It is contrary to our culture. There was a lord (knyaz) in old times who even warned enemies that he is going to attack them. Of course it is not as advantageous as a covert approach. But it is…
I'd say a common sense "cui prodest" inquiry leads to a much simpler answer, but to each his own.
If they ever start actually hurling massive objects to the orbit then these will be weapons. The data center functionality will be imitated remotely, if necessary. See "Starlink is a way to give internet to whales" and…
Apparently that story was manufactured and promoted by someone else, don't you think?
Space based data centers is a cover for space weaponry.
Don't strive to be original. Pursue other goals and the originality will emerge naturally. Accept that it won't be yours because your role is a supporting actor.
