We will never solve the Scunthorpe Problem.

Hasn't it been proven unsolvable?

[–] Valmond 54 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Impossible. There is always some mf named like cum-sock, smh

Proven? I don't think so. I don't think there's a way to devise a formal proof around it. But there's a lot of evidence that, even if it's technically solvable, we're nowhere close.

Have you tried adding a few more kilobytes of regex?

I swear, I just need 4-5 more graphics cards to solve this!

I mean, you could just use a vaguely smarter filter. A tiny "L"LM might have different problems, but not this one.

Indeed; it definitely would show some promise. At that point, you'd run into the problem of needing to continually update its weighting and models to account for evolving language, but that's probably not a completely unsolvable problem.

So maybe "never" is an exaggeration. As currently expressed, though, I think I can probably stand by my assertion.

I have no rebottomal for this comment.

there's a very trivial solution that always works actually, it's called "stop being a prude"

It causes so much dawizard.
