  1. Beating AI with math? on Can You Beat a Computer At Rock-Paper-Scissors? · · Score: 1

    So, this kinda makes me think about a related question.
    "Is it possible to construct an AI which is able to guess the k+1 digit of a transcendental mod n number if given k correct values"
    esp from how this AI works, I think it might win against it; although my math might be wrong I'm not sure if numbers like pi or e have no repeating sequences in modulo.

  2. Re:Women don't want to do CS? on Why the Widening Gender Gap In Computer Science? · · Score: 1

    Right because in the past medicine was historically not a hard science. It wasn't until after Pasture discovered microorganisms and its effect on people did the establishment of modern medicine did it become a Male dominated field.
    In our society when we think of Doctors, we will generally picture several men, and one or two women. When we think nurses we picture several women, but only one or two men.
    It all falls back to the argument that women are less interested in Hard science then men are. I am not sure why this is the case, but it does appear true.

    its also not an exclusive or, you could in theory 'fix the wrongs of society' by finding this 'pure science'

  5. Re:Physical = digital? on UK Court Rejects Encryption Key Disclosure Defense · · Score: 1

    If you physically hide something the only way to prove its existence is to find it. The same would be true for an encryption key, the only way to know if something was encrypted is to try and decrypt it with a key, if you get data then it was most likely encrypted. Two kinda funny situations can occur here, firstly if you never owned a key but owned a lock which can be unlocked with a key. And this lock was mass produced, then it is possible that an additional key was created but you never owned it. Thus you could lock something away with no intention of even unlocking it and some police officer could stumble upon it and use their key to unlock it, and arrest you if it contains a dead hooker or something. Whats kinda funny is that if you simply write random bits, it is possible, VERY unlikely, that you could out put actual data. So like writing random bits could create a red jpg or something, just for the sake of argument lets say its illegal to own a pure red jpg. Well then its also possible to simply write random bits that when when run through a decryption algorithm using some key that the resulting data would be said red jpg. You never actually created a red jpg, the decryption algorthm did. Idk just a funny thought I wanted to share.

    That would depend on the manner of encryption now wouldn't it.

    Sorry advertisers, but we don't want your "product" in the first place. Go bitch to someone who carres.

    Not to troll, but I know plenty of people who have found something they wanted because of advertisements. The issue isn't with advertising its with marketing.

  9. Re:Cheney is right.... on National Debt Clock Overflowed, Extended By a Digit · · Score: 1

    Actually, no it wouldn't. China's economy is a lot stronger than you think. Unlike the US, they have a massive manufacturing base that can ship to anywhere in the world. The US is just a "customer" - a bad one at that.

    They have the rest of the world (Europe, Asia, Africa, Russia, the list goes on). To me it would be business as usual, with one less "customer".

    Firstly the US is a major customer for China, secondly they are a very bad at manufacturing. Ever notice why all those recalls children's toys came from china? The US is a very important trading partner to both china and the global market. Not trying to troll and say the world needs the US, but its rather silly to say that a big fish in a little pond can just disappear and the ecosystem wont be affected.
