A lot of people mistake basic literacy for AI. Don't forget that LLMs are trained on human texts and replicate patterns within them.
He was disappointed in himself that he hadn't realized that the word recognition "algorithm" was just "every word starting with a-l" -- he had speculated that there was in fact some sort of linguistic algorithm to…
Fulminate? What a bizarre characterization. > but, honesty! Honestly I expect more maturity and less hostility from mods.
I'm not missing any point and I have no interest in engaging with anyone who opens with that sort of strawman ad hominem.
I know what the title says, of course ... but the title is descriptive, not a label, and only Cerf is referred to as the father, as quoted. And yes of course Kahn co-invented TCP/IP but no one ever calls him father of…
He did not say that. What he did say was true. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Al_Gore_and_information_techno...
It's not so much a joke as a smear. Gore was attacked for claiming to be the inventor of the Internet, but he never said that. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Al_Gore_and_information_techno...
Eh? Vint is KNOWN AS "the father of the Internet", and that's what TFA's title says. https://web.archive.org/web/20131104212006/http://deafness.a... > He is routinely referred to as "the father of the internet," There…
I worked on the ARPANET project under Steve Crocker at UCLA and met his bud Vint there (with his ever-present 3 piece suit, briefcase, and hearing aids) ... what a great guy. An anecdote: I wrote a program (in Sigma-7…
It's highly unlikely that the conversation actually happened as reported. At the very least, something was said after "Ask Claude".
I wasn't talking to you. Flagged.
Um, only the second part was a joke. The first part was confirmation of your statement that it's not just an analogy or coincidence ... and Shannon followed von Neumann's advice (not joke).
> Your epistemic position is ultimately just as faith based as you claim faith in God etc. This lie is so tiresome. It's notable that science has a history of effectively producing confirmable fact whereas religion…
I asked for proof of claims and I just get "it absolutely does" and a bunch more assertions, and word salad like "the validity of the scientific method is ultimately a metaphysical extension of our intuitions about…
I know what metaphysics is (and your description isn't accurate--science is a knowledge-producing method that doesn't depend on metaphysics in order to be meaningful), but that has nothing to do with my statement. And…
> It’s not just an analogy or a coincidence that the word “entropy” is a word used in both physics and computer science (information theory). Shannon asked von Neumann what to call it, and von Neumann said "You should…
Prove any of this. Or at least provide a cogent argument for it. To me it looks riddled with mistakes, like > metaphysics is (tautologically) the domain of humans which is frankly incoherent.
> Obsessive hacker tools like Emacs are not a productivity enhancer. This is intellectually dishonest framing. "obsessive hacker tools" is incoherent -- it's not the tool that is obsessive or a hacker. I don't…
Ginger Bill is not AI-friendly so that's absurd.
No doubt it's frustrating to carefully head off a strawman misreading of your points, and then have someone like sph completely ignore that and attack the strawmen anyway ... but it's well known that people like that…
When appropriate I use M-S-! or M-S-| to run a shell command in emacs.
> with appropriate rules, restrictions and discipline This completely misses the point.
The pathetic bad faith whining in response is hilarious.
If pi is normal, which is likely but unproven.
