Out of curiosity, in what way was the account screwed up after you recovered it?

ChatGPT is not some magic oracle that uncovers correct answers to all questions. I see little reason to imagine ChatGPT being useful here at all.

When do you ever want that symmetry?

As others have noted, this has little to do with the Axiom of Choice per se. The Axiom of Choice is not needed to prove that one can make a choice from a single inhabited set, where this boils down to the tautology "If a set has at lea

This works perfectly fine with complex numbers. Consider Gaussian integers or Gaussian rationals (complex numbers of the form a + b i, where a and b are integers or rationals). Like complex numbers in general, these amount to the combinati

You mock leftists as having futile aspirations, thanks to your tax dodging abilities. But we do have progressive taxation as a rather strongly entrenched policy in the United States and most of the rest of the world, so in that sense, you a

Out of all the possible ways you can persuade me, refraining from even providing an argument is easily the least effective.

Your advocacy for a wealth tax on unrealized capital gains is compelling. Let us adopt that.

Why are you playing games to avoid that number? There's no big difference in being slightly above vs slightly below that number. Indeed, it's slightly better to be slightly above.

From your original post, you seem to feel progressive taxes requires some sort of absurdly different treatment for people who make $999,999/yr vs $1,000,000/yr, or at whatever threshold, but that is not at all how they function. E

Because I need money to exchange for goods and services in order to live, particularly in order to maintain housing and healthcare. I would love to be paid to pursue my passions full-time, but that opportunity has not yet arisen. So I split

Induction is one way to prove something for all n but hardly the only way.

What's the difference between whether my money is individually given to the artists I personally listened to and similarly for all other subscribers, or whether all subscribers' money is pooled and then re-apportioned out based on

Your parents loved it when they were 3 in the 60s? The article suggests it only became a regular part of German New Year's Eve celebrations starting in 1972.

What notion of optimization had you expected?

What expression? What was the original context?

Perhaps what is holding you back is phrasing it as "a Master's degree in AI/DS"!

Don't MacOS and Unixes have the equivalent of registry hell with a million configuration files hidden away in /etc/ or /usr/ or wherever, and then having to check where environment variables are set and so on? Ideal

Put another way, it actually is important here that the set of colors we are talking about is finite. It's NOT the case that just having every finite subgraph be C-colorable entails that the entire graph is C-colorable, when C is infin

Yes, but invoking Zorn's lemma on that poset does nothing useful. This just proves the trivial fact that the big graph exists. How do you prove that a coloring of the big graph exists? And if we take the poset to be partial colorings o

by Chinjut 4y ago
What poset should we set up on which to invoke Zorn's lemma directly? Anything I can think of does seem to me more easily understood via compactness/the ultrafilter lemma, but that may just be a fact about my own psychology.

"50% chance within the same gender"? What about all the other chromosomes? Wouldn't they have to match too?

There's no need to defend Elon here. Clearly what will happen is highly capricious enforcement based on who he personally likes and dislikes.

If he wishes to support free speech, as he so often claims, then yes, that carries that obligation. But he clearly does not actually care about free speech.
