So this is what happens when you have a group of people with such interest in science but little knowledge? When asked to explain why Spears married and divorced that guy so quick, nobody here knows--yet nobody would comment? Yet when asked to explain why we need a new kilogram standard, we get lots of crap and jokes. Just pick up watching sports.
The superko rule would cover single-stone suicides. An advantage from group suicide seems very rare to me. It would seem that this rule doesn't need to be in the mathematical rules. However, it would be an easy way to cut down on brute force checking.
The best precedent we have is horses and such who have eyes on the side. It's two eyes, but they are seeing much more. Again I'd have to caution about the trouble of latency. The nice thing is that we already have built in latency due to relatively slow chemical synapses and saltatory conduction. So we could in effect expand ourselves to the size of a planet and have a similar experience.
Most people just don't understand. That doesn't make them sick. For quadriplegics, there is Stephen Hawking but also Reeve. He wasn't quite into transhumanism. Rather, he just wanted to be "normal" again.
Being "disabled" doesn't make you any better. But it can open your eyes towards the mind, where we are heading. I take it you get these things. I'll meet you there with a simulated beer!
I don't see us breaking the speed of light for communications soon. But we can certainly switch from one avatar to another (wireless link or such). Considering our neurons transmit much slower than the speed of light, we can be much farther than that with which we want to interact with.
I had a bad reaction to a drug, causing my whole face to stretch in one direction. Not being in control of your body is not fun at all. As long as we have such little understanding of ourselves, stuff like that could happen.
It may sound strange, but a part of me wishes I was you. I'm a gamer like a great many who may be reading this site, and I see a future where we are all "gamers". We will have no bodily form, rather a mind that can manipulate reality (or virtual reality) much as we play video games now. There was already in early 2004 a successful implant that allowed some hearing by inputting directly into the brain (midbrain). Not if but when, and all that.
It would seem that it could be very different. There are a lot of these computer-only competitions and tuning for that will be very different from tuning for humans online.
If we solve Go, will it still be fun?

I think it will. We still have weightlifting competitions even though we have forklifts at our disposal.
Note that a liberty is an empty spot on the board that is either next to your stone or can be reached by moving across your stones horizontally or vertically. This is great for computer scientists who don't know the game yet, http://brooklyngoclub.org/jc/rulesgo.html:
The Alternating Rule: Two players, called Black and white, keep alternating moves till the end of the game. Black plays first. A move by a player begins by his placing a stone on an empty intersection of the go board. The first player who cannot put down a stone without breaking a rule loses the game. The Rule of Capture: After a stone is placed on the board, all enemy stones which have no liberties are removed. A player's move is not finished until this phase has been completed.
The Rule for Suicide: Suicide is illegal. Precisely, after a stone has been played, and after the rule of capture has been applied to his enemy stones, if the stone has no liberty, then the move was illegal.
The SuperKo Rule: A player is not allowed to place down a stone if, after the rule of capture has been applied, the resulting Board position has appeared previously in the game.

Nice to see on the touchscreen. With the president being some sort of dan-player, I wonder if it will come out officially.
Whatever happened to "information wants to be free!!!"

Whoever moves has to. The opponent then captures and wins.

We can never give up the limitations given by physics. We can and will give up the limitations given by genetics.
The counting phase is just accomplished by filling in your own territory. The first won who has to pass loses.

It's just something I wanted. I had tried something called Androcur which lowers testosterone. It gave me what is known as the "eunuch calm".
But in reality, I made a first step (see my Name).
I wanted to--no medical reason! No! Maybe adopt!

Didn't that guy do some animated TV show? In any case I am not that person at all.
Had it done a half year ago by Dr. Kimmel.
Very well put. Yes, we are all headed towards the mind. I'll see you when we get there.
Passing need not be mentioned. The page mentions that.

Look at the mathematical rules I wrote. If you have equal amounts, whoever goes first will lose because that person will have no move left.

I don't see why decimal needs to be used here.
