Dead wrong. They hold the release signing keys.

Possibly. There are a number of ways to game this: Freezing, bad raw material, less structural elements, overpressure ammunition, putting something in the barrel, etc. However, I do not believe they are lying, I think it just requires a lot of expertise to get this right. On the other hand, drilling a hole into a solid block of material may give superior results without the need to get the printing right.

The kicker in the end is that you cannot usually get ammunition in countries with strict gun control and a different black-powder-and-ball design may be needed anyways. But quite frankly, what do you need guns for? Gun violence is very rare in countries with strict gun control. If somebody pulls one on you, you run away and call the police. But you being run over by a car is vastly more likely, so I would recommend being careful when crossing streets as an effective measure that greatly outperforms carrying a gun in preserving your health.

And make Heisenbugs the norm: Just compile, and you bug may vanish, multiply or behave completely different. Not smart at all...

Apt analogy.

That is pseudo-mystical nonsense. Entropy is a _measure_ of a configuration or state, not an effect by itself. Saying there is entropy is like saying there is numbers. That holds for both definitions of entropy.

For variable values of "high end". Or in fact for things that many people cannot do, but which do not require real skill either. There is zero evidence for anything like that happening on the actual high end. There is ample evidence for the contrary. Of course, not many people have "high end" capabilities, but these people are in high demand.

Don't be ridiculous. Expert systems are as dumb as dirt. They can only replace non-smart human work, of which there admittedly is a lot.

Seems these people and the OP have already given themselves stupidity...

Indeed. That makes zero sense for a FOSS project, but is entirely consistent with a site compromise. I guess as the TC people are hard to reach it may just take a few days for them to notice, clean up and issue a statement.

I don't think Sabu is capable of this kind of altruism, let alone this type of project.

Indeed, good point. The people desiring "total recall" are those that confuse knowing a lot of data with actually understanding things. There people make great bean-counters, but are unsuitable for anything that requires understanding. Just compare an MBA and an engineer. The difference is striking.

There are two possibilities this fails a) impossibility to build and "make alive" due to effort needed and b) the human mind is more than what current physics can explain.

Most things a smart human can do cannot be automated one bit. The thing is that a) most humans are not really "smart" and b) most jobs do not require the ones doing them to be even a little smart.
