- totallywrong 3y agoDo we have an ISO number yet?
- xpe 3y agoI did some research, and yes: ISO 35776597. Except that's the deprecated base 10 number. With so many standards now, everyone prefers base 36: ISO LATED.
- xpe 3y ago>> ... one definition of loneliness is the difference between the amount (and depth) of social connection desired and the amount obtained. > Only on HN do I expect a formalization of loneliness. I'm not complaining. I'm inclined to see this as a model, not a definition nor formalization. For me, the definition would be rooted in a subjective experience and would also include considerable formalization. I don't do this lightly, but I think ChatGPT 4.0's comparison is quite lucid: "... formalization is more about defining and structuring the components or rules of a system or concept, while a model is about representing that system or concept in a simpler or more understandable way." I enjoy this kind of pedantry. I don't see you complaining. :)
