Without reading the paper it seems from the tweets that the results are overstated. Academics need to make their results sound more impressive and less trivial and so the choice of wording reflects that. The property that optimal agents see

Yes, this is a good summary. I think the condition varies in presentation and severity - occasionally I will see a brief flash of an image before it disappears, but this ferls more like falling asleep for a split second than gaining the abi

I don't really understand your question - do you experience dreaming in a different way? I can remember what I saw in a dream, but I cannot visualize it. This is the same as waking memories - I can remember what I saw but I cannot see

All medicines are drugs, not all drugs are medicines. Depending on the purpose and use of a substance, pointing out that it is a drug is trivial and does not disqualify it from being a medicine.

I have aphantasia (when I'm awake) and visual imagery in my dreams that is sharper and more detailed than real life. I'm also able to lucidly dream although I try not to as it messes with my long term memory. I would say that we c

Responding to your edit: that is not what it says in the preprint. The last bit is used to decide the rounding mode for converting the rand in the interval 0-1 to an index of the shuffled array. They do not specify how the seed was picked a

If those are the only three futures on offer then we should all subsidize PornHub's expansion into the metaverse promptly.

Does Econ101 dig into the differences between demand-side and supply-side inflation? Or what happens when you try to hide the deflationary effects of debt destruction through money printing? I ask because I'm unfamiliar with the basic

Oh wow. This is unbelievably bad. Bitcoin may be a scam on so e level, but it is not a Ponzi scheme. The linked article seems to miss the most important property of such a scheme: Incoming capital is misrepresented as returns and passed bac

How do you know it is not X is not a reasonable form of argument. How do you know it is not quantum fluctuations in the techno-babble framework they use?

This seems to be a flawed approach. Comparing the result to sub/div is not computing the error in the fused-mac. It is calculating the difference between one rounding operation and two. To do this correctly requires: * performing the c

As I go into my fifth decade most of the third is fuzzy so this seems believable.

I didn't believe this theory at first but then I noticed that Elon Musk is actually an anagram of Pepe Silvia and it all started to click into place.

Adding an elastic demand sink to a peaky supply in a way that is profitable is quite interesting. Joules that are not used at all are wasted. This converts that wasted generation into cash allowing expansion of the facilities and more Joule

Ah, so you read what you want to hear into current events and seek confirmation bias. Your whole world-view comes off as a bit prepper / Great Replacement-crank.

This is not true. Party A has a contract that party B owes them a share - not the share that they originally loaned. The whole idea is for party B to buy a share later to balance the trade. A better analogy to understand why short interest

Winter is always coming, the important question is when it will arrive. Current ML research is still destroying new problems with ease so the current velocity is high. It will slow down first, before people start to question why the new cro

Could you clarify what you mean by better - do you get a smaller spread?

Which implies that somebody responding to you in an argument would also need deep literacy to be able to dismiss such claims. But there is no argument that would progress better if one of the participants was less literate. Which does back

Your ability to distill and refute the points in the article seem to be a result of deep literacy. Is this itself not the thrust of his main thesis?

Given the improvements in IPC over ten years it is not that far off. If your workload can spread over more cores then that level was exceeded long ago.

> Gold expends energy to mine but is essentially free to store, bitcoin costs money to store proportional to its market price. It's not really that simple. There is a different breakdown when you look at individual vs global costs.
