Perhaps we could write code to optimize code, then run that code through the code optimizer?
To understand recursion, one must first understand recursion.
Succeed in spite of management.
I do not believe in a personal God.
Of course it is possible that UFO’s really do contain aliens as many people believe, and the government is hushing it up.

When I was first diagnosed with ALS, I was given two years to live. Now 45 years later, I am doing pretty well.
We won’t know for a few years.
A model is a good model if first it interprets a wide range of observations in terms of a simple and elegant model, and second if the model makes definite predictions that can be tested, and possibly falsified, by observation.
I think the universe was spontaneously created out of nothing, according to the laws of science. It has no beginning and no end.
To boldly go where no one has gone before.
I wouldnt be here today if it were not for the NHS, I have received a large amount of high-quality treatment without which I would not have survived.
The real challenge is to work out what aliens might actually be like.
What lies north of the North Pole?
I think the next century will be the century of complexity.
If we ever do find a complete theory of the universe, it would be a great triumph of human reason but it wouldn’t leave much for us to do. We need an intellectual challenge.
