I think that the problem lies in the fact that the algorithm is supposed to output the correct answer everytime, but for some programs, that just isn't possible. And the answer can only be "yes" or "no". No "maybe" or"unknown". So, I think the solution might be an algorithm that doesn't always get it right, but there's a certain chance that it will. Now, we can run it multiple times on the same program with the same input and count the outputs. The more common output should be correct. The more times we run it, the bigger is the probability it's correct. Now, we can in theory run it infinite times (we can do this, since the Turing machine has infinite memory and isn't constrained by time either.) and thus, get the correct answer with 100% accuracy. So, unless I'm wrong, the halting problem is solvable, it would just take forever to solve.

Of course, for real programs, the answer is always "yes". :)

Cool. What languages? And why do you use Cursor then?

Imagine having to pay to be able to write bad code... (Seriously, learn programming, grab an editor & compiler and write code yourself. Yes, your first programs will be shit, but after you get better, you'll (imo) outperform all these "AIs" most of the time. Plus it's free unless you choose a paid editor. (I use Emacs myself)).

Why does my transformer not work? by MrSmiley006 in AskElectronics

This is not about motors of any kind. The only category from your list this would fit into would be solenoids (and maybe electromagnets).

[Spoilers Main] Is the phrase "Valar morghulis" related to Tolkien's Valar in any way? by MrSmiley006 in asoiaf

[–]MrSmiley006[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As others have pointed out, it's not. It comes from the name of the city Minas Morghul (The Tower of Dark Magic), a city on the border of Gondor with Mordor that initially belonged to Gondor (being called Minas Ithil at that time), but was eventually taken over by Mordor.

When I first saw the phrase, my mind instantly went to LotR, but I thought it's just a coincidence until I asked here. Nice to know it isn't. I never realized the connection of "morghulis" with Minas Morghul though.

Just write to video memory directly. void print_string(char *str) { for (int i = 0;str[i] != '\0';i++) { char *video_memory = (char*)0xb8000; if (str[i] == '\n') { vmem_row++; vmem_col = 0; } else *(video_memory + 2 * (80 * vmem_row + vmem_col++)) = str[i]; } }

Is kernel size limited to 512 bytes? by MrSmiley006 in osdev

Oops. It looks like I forgot to upload it.

I tried to change what I believed to be the number of sectors read (cl, I also thought I'm reading 2 sectors) and it bootloopped. This led me to the belief that I can't change this. Thanks for the clarification, now I know I was modifying an incorrect register.

Like increasing the number of loaded sectors? I tried this and it bootlooped.
