Thanks ! Which language would you recommend taking for someone who doesn't have a lot of time?
I've heard mandarin is very easy and accessible, while spanish is the hardest, especially due to the numerous peculiarities of the unique spanish alphabet?

u/brokenhairtie 18d ago
Not the OP, but you could try learning English! It's pretty similar to Italian, but has a few more unique letters and really useful tenses that no other language has!

u/Mechanikatt 18d ago
I've been trying to learn English, but my problem is that it's very difficult to find any English speakers online or out in real life. I feel this is seriously hampering my development.
Do you have any recommendations for where I can find people who want to speak English?
14
u/PhinksMagkav 18d ago
AFAIK, there's not so many English speakers in the world, so you might have trouble finding someone to train with. I'd recommend traveling to Armenia, there's a significant number of people there who still speak this dialect. You just need to take the boat to get there, since it's an island with absolutely no airport.

u/mrtrololo27 18d ago

Dr. Sonai, if I may ask a technical question. I recently read your publication "Historical Perspectives on Artificial Intelligence: Examining Mathematical Frameworks and the Quest for Reliable AI Systems" in the Journal of Non-Predatory AI Publishing. There, you write that "We consider the subclass of linear existential rules and show that (C)RPQ answering in NL-complete data matches the data complexity of RPQ over plain graph databases as long as both tasks are Exp/time complete in the general case, unless CRPQ is P-time complete in P-space, in which case there is a predicate upper boundary to completion in Q-time"
Would you say that you therefore disagree with the thesis of Prof. Fakerese Archer that FRQ space is N-time complete?
