Similar soul

eilte утверждал, что на меня похожа gata_onza, но он явно ошибся.
На меня похож frambozensmaak (или я на него).
Я с ним согласен по всем пяти пунктам Почему не хочется выходить замуж за Андрея Губина
Уж очень метко вышло ;-)

Do we live in simulation?

shwars gave me funny link:
http://www.simulation-argument.com/
This is post-Matrix thinking about "Do we live in simulation?"

Authors suppose that our descendants will emulate us in their computers. So, how do we know, that we are not simulation in computers? :-)
Authors do some other guess-works. And do some conclusions. These guesses and conclusions create funny picture of a new imaginary world.
You may try to play this game ("do funny assumption and then make conclusion from funny assumption") too ;-)

But keep in mind, that it is only game. These assumptions are weak, so conclusions are weak too. And we still live in real world :-)

AI reading: Nick Bostrom's home page

I already visited this page before:
http://www.nickbostrom.com/

This site is about: Transhumanism, Artificial Intelligence development, AI development consequences and some other things like these.

It is good idea to read Nick's articles and follow references from his page. I already read some these articles and will read more. Do you?

The most important LiveJournal feature: "Find similar user"

I discovered this great feature in Live Journal:
http://www.livejournal.com/interests.bml?mode=findsim

This feature is very important, because it helps to find person who is similar to you, who is interested in the same thing/topics.

Now I update my "Interests", because:
1) I want improve "similar user" search.
2) I hope, that similar user will find me by himself.

Live Journal looks much better if you are a member

Live Journal looks much better if you are a member of Live Journal.
Many features become available, such as:
1) Similar user search
2) Semagic client. It does work with your LJ more convenient.
3) You are not anonymous already, so people know you, they put references on your posts and comments, they tell others about you, you may not log in each time when you add your comment because of cookies in your browser, ...
4) You may become member of your favorite groups.
5) Probably there are more advantages, but I don't know about them yet :-)

English speaking friends in Russia

Some of my friends do speak English, even if they live in Russia.
For instance, hobober write in English sometimes (but unfortunately he use Socrat-translator instead of Lingvo, so his English is terrible :-) ).
Even eilte knows English, but he dislikes to write in English. Moreover, he wants that I speak Russian (while I want that he speaks English :-)).
Also fantom_k, velogirl, shwars and frambozensmaak speak English.

We are like noblemen (dvoryane) in 18-19 centuries Russia. Russian noblemen spoke Russian and French, we speak Russian and English. We like Western culture. We like progress. We do progress.
