    A physics/computer question about TRON 2.0

    Well some say the physical universe itself is entirely an abstraction and in fact it is simply qualia encoded in such a way (raw awareness constrained by the mathematical 'fire in the equations') that gives rise to the physicality of the so called physical world.

    A physics/computer question about TRON 2.0

    Anyone still remember a long time ago HP had an artificially intelligent Mopy Fish screensaver that fit on a floppy disk? I always wondered if the Fish was in an alive or dead state when on the floppy disk lying dormant.

    A physics/computer question about TRON 2.0

    How can a subset of the universe "model" the whole universe itself at the atomic level? By definition a model is a reductive explanation to facilitate the needs of categorical perceptive simplifications. So begs the question, how can the self actually completely know the self? From an...

    A physics/computer question about TRON 2.0

    We already at 35nm. So 11nm is on the same order of magnitude. Not even enough to simulate any human brain or even a earthworm brain for that matter.

    A physics/computer question about TRON 2.0

    Thanks. The first link was to a MS font, the second one (SB Liquid) is more like it.

    A physics/computer question about TRON 2.0

    Well the architecture couldn't have been silicon based because even Intel is reaching those limits now. So what? Quantum computing? Aliens or not, the laws of physics still apply.. or did they find a way to alter that too? Maybe the physical world is a like a matrix of sorts and the father...

    A physics/computer question about TRON 2.0

    But unless time travel was involved, it still had to be made using 1985's technology. So now matter how efficent the AI algorithm, I don't see how the visionary father could have done it. Even Steve Job's first Apple Newton was a failure.

    A physics/computer question about TRON 2.0

    What? This is not about Apple.

    A physics/computer question about TRON 2.0

    I watched the TRON 2.0 movie and have a couple of physics/computer questions. I'm not at all a linux person so pardon if these questions are a bit dumb... First I'd like to start off does anyone know what is the FONT on this timer? I'd like to make my own simplistic screensaver that counts UP...
