I created a Linux image that allows for this about a year ago: > Linux "distro" that only includes a Lua interpreter and a Lua library to issue syscalls https://github.com/FranchuFranchu/lua-lfs-hard

What's the point of having an state obligation enshrined in your constitution if there are no consequences if the state doesn't follow them?

Wow, so this will integrate with ActivityPub? This makes me quite hopeful. Maybe ActivityPub will be the new e-mail of social platforms, and Meta's product will be the GMail of ActivityPub. I think social platforms are something that r

I agree with you regarding many areas of thought, where conclusions can be reached by deductive or inductive reasoning from premises. However, these people are proposing a "new axiom set" of sorts, where lives now have the same ut

I would take longtermists seriously if they were one of those poor people they talk so much about. But right now, there is an obvious conflict of interest when they speak about longtermism.

Arm chair physicist however I know how this data is analyzed, so I have something to say: I think there's a better and perhaps clearer to understand interpretation here: All particles have an invariant mass, inherent to the particle i

I think that at this point, LLM etymology is way more interesting than LLMs themselves.

I really enjoyed reading this. It was mind-opening. I wonder if in the future, something useful with practical applications will come out from this philosophy, and we'll look back to 2022 the same way we look back to geometers who trie

I tried to make ChatGPT solve IMO-type math problems. However, its reasoning is almost always flawed. The interesting part is that I can ask ChatGPT to explain a part of its proof, however in my experience it ends up using incorrect assumpt

Here in Argentina, the right to strike is granted by our constitution. A restraining order preventing unions from striking would be seen like a restraining order preventing voters from voting.

It's a bit like the "energy" in an electric capacitor. It's a property of the system's state that is related to the interactions between the particles. In a charged capacitor, there's a lot of electrons on one

If the Republicans tried passing laws with a federal ban on abortion, a federal ban on same-sex marriage, and a federal ban on contraception, they would lose a very, very, large portion of their voting base. I highly doubt they will do it.

I think that this has good intentions, at least. Science should be easily reproducible. But using the median for this is very very silly, and I don't think the results from this are very meaningful.

I tried setting interest rates to 20% for the whole game, with... interesting results. Inflation rised steadily as people ate all the apples in the market. At the beginning it looked like inflation would never stop, but at some point an orc

I'm not knowledgeable about statistics and studies like this in general; do you mean this is a "green jelly beans cause acne" [1] situation, where you test for many hypotheses and one of them turns out to be significant? [1]:

The thing I like the most about Steam, and this outmatches everything else, is the regional price localization. 60 USD is not worth the same around the world, and Steam compensates for it.

I don't see the problem. A huge for-profit organization gets free money in the shape of a student loan, without spending any of it because the degree is allegedly worthless, and then the money gets taxed to pay the loan off? It cancels

My understanding is that an electron volt is the energy an electron needs to move against an electrical gradient of 1V (imagine like rowing against the current). It is a unit of energy, so at first glance it doesn't really make much se

I wonder if it would be a feasible to have some sort of internal compile-time variable in each binding that could make compile-time states not have to use hacky methods like this one. Essentially, instead of the compile-time value attached
