The more straightforward solution: render comments at the deepest displayable depth with their subthreads hidden, then serve comment permalinks as separate pages, where the subject comment is rendered as a root thread. To read replies to comments at the
This looks like a virtuous project. What would someone need to know if they wanted to contribute to its development? Developing the technology, I mean, of course anyone can contribute to the developing the corpus.
Do we have(or need) any empirical evidence that algorithmic simplicity (space) is the ideal and ultimate absolute prior? If I reread the article carefully I see it doesn't quite seem to advocate this, but I think it's very easy for a learner to pick up that misconception from the way AIXI is generally discussed, the assumption that we somehow know that space complexity is the final answer, and I wonder if it should be ruled out or qualified here.
(I believe it's easy to pick up that misconception because it happened to me. I later came to realize I probably wouldn't bet at good odds that Space AIXI wont ever be dominated by... (read more)
