This is a general NLP problem. People use language in more complicated ways than direct literal encoding. In the general case, it's a very hard problem, but hate specifically may not be so difficult.

People tend not to use phrases like "kill all the" in unambiguous ways.

I'm having a hard time finding where it's suggested in their literature that salvation comes from sobriety?

The message is the opposite. It's sobriety comes through salvation.

1 We admitted we were powerless over alcohol - that our lives had become unmanageable.

2 Came to believe that a Power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity.

3 Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of God as we understood Him.

My friend said that pressure cooking popcorn kernels as an incubation medium allowed fast mycillial colonization. He could shake the jars every couple days to speed up the process. He also claimed pasteurized hay made an excellent growth substrate.

Well... The traveling salesman decision problem, not the general case.

The problem of finding the optimum path is not in NP, if I give you a candidate solution you can't easily check if it's the global optimum.

What is in NP is the decision problem, finding a path that is better than a given bound. If I hand you a candidate solution, you just have to compare the sum of the distances to the bound to check it.

While we all learned in middle school geometric algebra that the even subalgebra of G3 is isomorphic to the quaternions, what is the relationship between the even subalgebra of G4 and the octonions?

If you write out a multiplication table, it seems that it's isomorphic. But... Octonions aren't associtive. Does the even subalgebra of G4 somehow lose associativity? Is it equivalent to Octonions with a cannonical multiplication order?

Do you know what a vector is? Vector:Line == Bivector:Plane

A vector is an oriented (+,-) magnitude(length) _in_ a line. A Bivector is an oriented (+,-) magnitude(area) _in_ a plane.

That area does not have any particular shape.

My first interest in programing, outside of the simple office automation scripting I was doing, started when I built an orbital rendevous calculator in KSP (back before they had orbit planning built in).

I eventually merged my mod into mechjeb, adding a whole slew of orbital calculation functions, and many fun space times were had by all.
