"The original question, 'Can machines think?' can be described in terms of a game..." - Let's play the game, challenge our assumptions. Can we truly define thought? #TuringTest #OpenQuestions

@GMJuditPolgar, I’m doing some research for a book on note taking traditions, commonplace books, and zettelkasten/card indexes. In watching an interview of you with Christiane Amanpour from 2020 I noticed a photo of you next to a card index while playing chess. Do you have 15-20 minute for a short interview to talk about it and how you compiled and used it?

Black and white photo of two female teens sitting on the far side of a chessboard. Sitting next to the board is a tray about as long as the board which is full index cards.

Which hickies are tacky for an adult to have while just going abt their life, existing in public, etc?

For context, "tacky" doesn't necessarily mean immoral or bad or that u def shouldn't do it, it just means whatever tacky means to u.

Trans folks who have transitioned or are transitioning:

Has your gender-based sexual attraction changed over the course of your transition? For example, did you used to consider yourself bisexual but are now exclusively attracted to one gender, or maybe vice versa?
Please share your experiences in the replies!

To everyone who has had top surgery:

What's something you wish you knew before the day of the surgery?

What's something you wish you had done differently, if anything?

What tips on recovery would you give to someone who's going to get top surgery?

Allender's 10 #Complexity #OpenQuestions

(Each w/ $1000 reward)

Eric Allender has a new guest column in SIGACT News doi.org/10.1145/3586165.358617, since he is officially retiring this year. It's a fun read, and in addition to the 10 Qs, highlights many others he thinks are approachable.

1. Exponential lower bounds on ACC⁰ circuits for PP
2. Is PRIMES TC⁰-hard under *uniform* AC⁰ Turing reductions?
3. Do all problems solvable by constant-width circuits of polylog genus lie in ACC⁰?
4. Is UL=coUL?
5. Improve the space upper bound on StUL. (Maybe StUL=L)
6. Is DET=NC¹(#\L)=AC⁰(#\L)?
7. Improve the NC-depth upper bound on #\NC¹. (Maybe #\NC¹=NC¹)
8. Is AC¹ in SAC¹[⊕,∧]=VP(F₂)?
9. Is the binary expansion of every irrational algebraic number equal to the characteristic function of a language in AC⁰? Does there exist such a number in PH?
10. Is Halt in \(P^{R_{C_U}}\) for some universal machine U? Is there universal U such that Halt is *not* in \(P^{R_{C_U}}\)?

How do u keep the hair on top of ur head from laying flat, especially with longer hair? That was a problem I always had when I had hair down past my shoulders. I would lift the roots with a hair pick and it helped but not for long. I have plenty of volume on the sides and very back, only the hair on top of my head gives me trouble

If you could travel back to any time or place and spend 24 hours once, and only once, in your life. Where and when would you go and how long would you wait to take that trip?

#TimeTravel #OpenQuestions

Please boost as I'd like to read a lot of replies from a range of different people (that includes you too).

I have had these questions floating in my head for awhile and they still remain unanswered. Could you possibly help?

- Why are there so few FOSS based solutions for health empowerment?
- Why in 2020 do we (users/citizens) still have to manually collect and aggregate our own biomarkers? Why is there no freely available tool for this? Is it a technical issue?
- Is it all a money issue?
