I'm not a super-duper computer scientist guy, but what is the alleged difference between "calculable" and "computable"?
Is this one of those things that has real meaning elsewhere and is being applied inappropriately? |
Yes, there is a technical difference. However, I won't explain it unless you give me ..... 1 million dollars.
