Duncecap Posted: Sounds like a fun career. It must be nice to regularly do that kind of problem-solving.
There’s one job I have hanging now for a couple of months, where the operation between two objects of the same type, cannot be defined in less than a couple hundred lines in english. Wanna bet it’s longer than that in any programming language? Log in to see images! At least you have a worthy project.
Anyhoo, no, never heard of Hofstadter. Well, probably not worth bothering to look up. He wrote quite a bit in the aforementioned book about Godel’s incompleteness theorem, which is why I thought of it.
And I would ask what differentiates a thought from other computation? I can think of no computation which is not also a thought.
Which is not also a thought, or which cannot be thought?
I will add more later—time to get some rest. |
