Can't wait for someone claiming the universe is made of Rust (the programming language), and how much better is than being made of C.

Elon Musk's efforts to break us out of the simulation [1] will be much harder if he can't find a suitable buffer overflow to exploit.

It's astounding that someone as obviously intelligent as Musk believes in creationism.
If I have a big, fast computer and I simulate a universe by randomly defining a set of rules and then hit "go" over-and-over-and-over again, if life arises in one of them is that creationism? Isn't it more correct to say I am exploring the space of all possible universes to see which ones generate life?

Both statements would be true.
When I multiply 5 and 6 am I creating 30?
Could you clarify the point you're trying to make?
That's probably pretty much exactly what Tegmark claims: somewhere in this structure there really is a universe simulated in rust.

That all came about because Java/Swing sucks!
