Ever since I learned about category theory and its relationship with symbolic reasoning I've suspected that AGI will come from elegantly combining symbolic reasoning and probabilistic reasoning. This is the first project I've seen

Startups, when done well, and with the right attitude, are science 1. Especially if you operate off of design thinking and jobs-to-be-done type principles. Startups work best when the product fits perfectly into the market need. This requir

Do you have four kids and live in a city?

How do you know?

Multiple kids + unexpected chronic health issues can quickly change this equation. And before you go judging someone for having multiple kids, consider that a) demographic collapse is probably very bad and we don't want our society to

Silicon valley is built on transistors, and by extension computers and software. The media industry is built on the attention economy. Competing for people's attention is a zero-sum game, but building technology that helps people be mo

There is no limit to "desirable jobs", and "desirable jobs" are not a resource. Your argument reads a bit like "there is no such thing as day, because sometimes it's dark out". Just because some aspects of

It seems like your conflating the meaning of zero-sum. It's specific to limited contexts where one party's gain must come at an equal loss to another party. "Every path you choose to go down in life, is a path you didn'

The answer to this question that I almost never see come up in these threads has nothing to do with moat or typical startup dynamics, it has to do with macro policy and theoretical economics. Our economic system is set up to continuously in

We have ventured far enough outside my sphere of competence that I'm running out of ways to constructively engage, but I'm sure some of your points will linger in my mind. I have had no direct exposure to what you're describi

Thanks for expanding. I think we are in agreement about values and virtues, and I appreciate your perspective on the nuance of presumed virtues as they relate to propaganda, it sounds right to me. Where you lose me is in the generalization

You and I are using completely different definitions of "values". The definition my comment depended on was one where values act as a filter for actions (or patterns of actions). Drug addicts only value short-term highs (next fix)

So maybe the solution is to have these FOL capabilities close to the user and far from the information source. FOL values analysis of information streams, that manifest as user interface for configuring the algorithms that decide what infor

Or maybe these people you speak up assume that the people in power have values aligned with their own, and if there was an unbiased system that highlights value discrepancies using formal logic, they might not "love" those people

I disagree with your first point. People are far more rational than you are making them out to be, it's just that they are rational within their own value system, not yours. Also today's propaganda is capable of adapting itself to

Nice prompt, I've been doing something similar but not this robust. I'll give this a spin. Thanks again!

Not familiar with FOL as a formalism, and would love to see this in action. I feel like it's a big part of the solution to propaganda. The other part seems to be values obfuscation, and I wonder if this would help with that too. If Joe

Yes that's what I said, but estimating material quantities of a design is something that you'd want to do at the beginning of the process as close to business development as possible, not at the end of the process during subcontra

Curious why you're going off of blueprints instead of BIM? The benefit of estimating quantities and cost cycles in with pre-con and business development, the artifacts during the pre-con design phase tend to be different than the takeo

Actually OP found a very small correlation between railway proximity and Google rating . The study didn't actually measure "quality"... Also, the lowest scoring outliers were the closest proximity, which I think is noteworth

Two reasons for the speed of the switch. The first is preference falsification Cascade. The second is the fact that businesses are legally obligated through their fiduciary duty to maximize value for shareholders. Many of these Dei programs

Actually on second glance I think it's about both. I'm all for the government using more decentralized networks and platforms, I don't frankly care whether they post or not to X, and I get the sense that anyone who does isn&#

It doesn't seem logical to me either. Ideological, political, emotional, group-think, etc. I've spotted plenty of misinformation published by/on every platform I've spent time with, including Reuters. I can see logic in

The assumption that everyone has equal capabilities can cause a lot of needless struggle and suffering. Similarly assumptions that an individual can't or won't grow or learn or improve can also lead to a lot of unnecessary struggl

I got my first migraine in my early teens. I was over at a friend's house and we were playing in the basement on a summer day, then went outside where the sun reflected off a window into my eyes. It would start with a shimmering patter

This is what I think every time I see a headline claiming a company stock, or the market as a whole, went up or down because of a single reason. Did the people writing the article ask all the people who bought or sold, or decided not to buy
