  1. and on The Soldier is the Network · · Score: 1
    every soldier is connected to a mainframe which is connected to the president equiped with a joy-stick, because he is the one we chose and he can make all decisions.
    Structures like that do not change theme, like thinking about war itself.
  2. goodstein theorem on The Computational Requirements for the Matrix · · Score: 1

    The goodstein theorem is proven to be valid,
    though its proof can not be expressed within
    Peano Arithmetic First Order (which is computable).

    It can be demonstrated that the proof is a
    non-computable problem, and since we can
    understand it, it states that our mind has
    capabilities beyond *any* computer.

    So 'Nick Bostrom', get back to school and learn logic.

  3. LIGO? no way on Falling to Earth's Core in a Big Blob of Iron · · Score: 1

    LIGO is about gravitational waves and not seismic activity. LIGO tries to measeure ripples in space-time and it takes masses like 10 times the sun to even get the ripple spotted on the detector.

    http://www.minigrail.nl is trying to do the same thing, only smarter and cheaper.

  4. Re:computer can't handle non-computable problems on Chess Championship: Humans vs. Computer · · Score: 1

    Godel shows how to go meta on a theory, that IS an understanding.

    The rest you wrote is true too.

    In the above link of Roger Penrose, he demonstrates the Goodstein Theorem, which can not be proven by induction (proved by Paris and Kirby), which tells you that it can not be formalised by a computer.

    c'est tout

  5. computer can't handle non-computable problems on Chess Championship: Humans vs. Computer · · Score: 1


    - like understanding Godel Theorems
    - Goodstein theorem

    as explained here by Roger Penrose:
    http://online.kitp.ucsb.edu/online/plect ure/penros e/

    so there is no future for computable Artificial Intelligence.

    btw gravity has non-computable problems, so the universe in non-computable, so understanding is non-computable.

  6. GRAIL on Hacking Cassini To Detect Gravity Waves · · Score: 2, Informative

    Professor Frossati working at Kamerlingh Onnes Laboraty at the University of Leiden, leads the project 'Gravitation Radion Antennae In Leiden', alias GRAIL, which tries to measure gravitation waves.

  7. Re:A Clarification... on Macroscopic Quantum Entanglement · · Score: 1, Insightful
    nothing in quantum mechanics or entanglement theory allows anything resembling faster-than-light information traveling
    That is correct. However, a particle (or any other exitation in a quantumfield) may only exist when there is a solution.This solution may be over time.

    example: light you see from the sun (a photon traveling from emission of the sun to absorption in your eye) only exists because it is a solution in the quantumfield. Hence it is impossible to duck for that photon, cause it would never exist if you were not there.

    The problem this article, i think, is about changing states of a symmetry broken system. Symmetry broken systems are like superconductivity, but also simply said a table. Depending on the system.
    I have to read the insights, but i think it is not so new as they postulate.
    In fermi-systems, like liquid 3He, at temperatures below its fermi-temperature, the whole system is in *one* state, which cannot be changed with low energy, cause you have to change the whole system. Maybe this is about a change at low energies than the system.

    or maybe i am bullshitting.

    Yeah, tell me more about your evil brain-games.

    btw. maybe i will post it someday as a topic, but my concern with the slashdot community is; group thinking is as good as nothing.
    I think that some structures in this culture which promotes individual thinking (wich I am VERY happy to meet, thank god!), are also directing structures which are completly the opposite, just to meet the ideals.

    Nevertheless, I think this is a great site...and boy, the future is gonna change good when more people read these kind of thinking..

  19. Very very dangerous strategy. on Different View Of MS Code Theft · · Score: 1
    The vast majority of Windows users are seriously happy with their system, cause the only thing they do is write emails and surf some sites.
    I have seen people upgrade their system every year just to have the latest system and they still do not use above 1% of their CPU power.

    People react very opposing on changing things, specially when it is about nerds like us taking control of securing systems they do no know shit about.

    .... the net.

    When their source will be in the hands of the-not-so-funny-evil-hackers, the attacks on windows-servers will increase with successfull results. Anyone knows that security by obscurity (binairies aren't easy in finding holes) isn't what your security model should be based on.

    By allowing nice-hackers access to the source, the first easy attacks will be save.
