I can give you a solid introduction to entropy in the context of information theory which is extremely useful in computing and data processing. Physics is however much more complicated and open-ended.

C'est bien ça. En tant que père de famille, j'approuve.

Update: this is because the conversation was locked which happened after the PR was closed.

I don't quite understand why 19 people downvoted the apology note and nobody gave it a thumbs-up (I believe this was before the PR was closed because emoji reactions are now locked). This kind of mob behavior is not typical of the OCaml community and is concerning. #OCaml

I've always wondered what invisible conduits would make flying cars like in The Fifth Element possible and safe. Obviously Korben Dallas was going off-road.

It's strange that moving in a 3D environment like the sky would be more dangerous than a 2D environment like the ground but that's because (1) the sky is not divided into roads or even levels like a parking lot and (2) flights are ground-to-ground anyway—so not really through 3D—unlike spaceflight.

For those wondering: String.spellcheck, since OCaml 5.4

I'd say they're more like a lubricant for the mind. If you're the antichrist, they may help you become a more effective antichrist.

*if it's easier than getting the data directly from the author.

If I built anything, it would probably tools for reading rather than for posting. Ideas include:
- search and aggregation of posts around a certain topic;
- turning timelines into standalone websites, archiving;
- download Art Bots data and make a web gallery out of it* (x.com/i/lists/9765...)

You have a typo in Doligez

If life on earth was created by aliens, who's responsible for what humans invented? There are no scientific answers to this problem or to any cause attribution in general. See mjambon.com/notes/causal...
Causality doesn’t exist

Even if say RNA-DNA-protein life as we know it was created by aliens and seeded on earth 4 billion years ago, determining exactly who created what is a special case of attributing causes to events.

Calling an artificial world a simulation provides a convenient excuse for not having any evidence that it is indeed artificial. Thankfully, it goes both ways - there can't be evidence that we live in a simulation. There could be evidence that some aspects of our world were created by aliens, though.

If beings within the simulation gain access to any information about the real world, then the simulation is leaky and it's not a simulation but just an artificial world. The notion of an artificial world makes a lot more sense to me - this is more like the Christian creationist perspective.
