    Map Product Sums
AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on minimizing a Sum of Products equation using a Karnaugh map (K map). Participants review and correct each other's answers, ultimately agreeing that the shortest expression is \bar{w}\bar{y}+xy\bar{z}+w\bar{x}y. One user acknowledges their mistake in grouping terms. The conversation highlights the importance of accurate grouping in K map simplifications.

Shouldn't that be $\bar y \bar w+\mathbf{\bar{w}x} + y \bar z w+yw\bar x$

Yes, but $\bar{w}\bar{y}+xy\bar{z}+w\bar{x}y$ is shorter.
 
Ahh I see. The correct answer is the 3 term answer provided by Evgeny..Looks like I was grouping wrong, or unnecessarilly. Thanks guys.

Thread 'Is this public key encryption?'

I've tried to intuit public key encryption but never quite managed. But this seems to wrap it up in a bow. This seems to be a very elegant way of transmitting a message publicly that only the sender and receiver can decipher. Is this how PKE works? No, it cant be. In the above case, the requester knows the target's "secret" key - because they have his ID, and therefore knows his birthdate.

Thread 'Who is responsible for the software when AI takes over programming?'

I tried a web search "the loss of programming ", and found an article saying that all aspects of writing, developing, and testing software programs will one day all be handled through artificial intelligence. One must wonder then, who is responsible. WHO is responsible for any problems, bugs, deficiencies, or whatever malfunctions which the programs make their users endure? Things may work wrong however the "wrong" happens. AI needs to fix the problems for the users. Any way to...
