Twitter Deal Temporarily on Hold

I know what the halting problem is and I had to study why it cannot work.

However, for L5, you just have a quote saying it doesn't work. We know it is mathematically possible for L5 to work because, well, humans perform at that level. We know that our vision, our ears, our hands and senses are enough input to solve the problem.

Do you have a direct connection between them or are you just using it as a metaphor for an unsolvable problem?

I needed a reminder, so I opened a new tab in Chromium and typed in 'the halting problem' and hit return and Chromium immediately crashed :)

Which is not only funny, it's exactly why the halting problem is so hard…

Humans actually don't perform at L5, we perform at a very high level of L4. (Still, the halting problem comparison is silly).
