What? No, i just got second. Not that big a deal, bro. I'm sure you're not always first either. I'll try and do better for you in the future.

Seriously though RIP Dennis :(

I bet the faggots baawing about Jobs because of his 'contribution' won't give a fuck about him

The death of Jobs marks the death of Apple, while UNIX and C will live forever.

I prefer to look to the past when mourning a death, not to the future.

The past no longer exists. It is only the future that matters!

There is no such thing as future.

The past only exists in your mind and the present is only transient.

Time isn't actually real. It's just a perception. The universe is a 30-dimensional solid and everything happens at once.

Time is intertwined with space. It is not independent of other dimensions but it still exists.

Space doesn't exist. The 30-dimensional solid is a wave.

The 30-dimensions are co-dependent.

They just fall apart once you go down to the threads. Timeless quantum physics FTW

And how much of it is verifiable scientifically?

We're working on that. Looks promising, though.

But, as of now, the bulk of it is untested.

The math suggests it to be true, but yes, you're correct. We just don't have the technology yet!

It's possible to overfit anything with enough free parameters (ie dimensions).
