It was your argument that you verified that we can't verify. But if we can't verify, then how could you verify? Fallibilism doesn't lead to a contradiction, it only rejects infallibility. If you think agnosticism helps you pr

The chicken has a problem with prediction of future because of intelligent behavior of the farmer, i.e. the farm is a conspiracy of sorts.

If you don't like such skepticism, then it should be okay to believe in fields. Where do you draw a line, how much skepticism is enough? Does radio exist? You can't see it, just like other fields.

Chaos, biology and exponential complexity.

Are you familiar with fallibilism? Aristotle justified geocentrism too. Who's to say your justification is correct for real this time?

Only infinite magnitude causes problems in physics, infinite precision doesn't. Real numbers have infinite number of digits only in digital model of numbers, so their infinite size is a modelling artifact. e=1 in base e - one digit.

The underlying structure is the quantum field, it looks empty to particles just like steel looks empty to sound.

Mathematics can model simple parts of physics, because mathematics is simple and can do simple things, like a puddle fits in the hole. It doesn't model complicated parts of physics, because it can't to complicated things, because

Trading sacrifices for a good hunt is kinda useless now.

Did you verify that we can't verify?

For a regularity to be broken, the phenomenon causing this regularity should be sentient to break the regularity in an intelligently chosen way. It doesn't matter how sentient are neurons, they don't affect anything and might as w

I don't see unreasonable effectiveness of mathematics. On one hand, it's a self fulfilling prophecy: if your math doesn't work, just make different math, and so on until it works (gravity was invented 6 times or so), so it&#x

The standard model is completely accidental, no? Also hierarchy problem.

Measurement works because universe moves in a simple way. As Hume indicates, you need very complex motion for irregularity, maybe even sentient, but sentient universe is fairy tale.

>but as time goes on it becomes increasingly evident that the rules which the mathematician finds interesting are the same as those which Nature has chosen This is quantifiable, right? Should be possible to measure how many mathematician

I got an impression JPEG XL is not a single format, but many formats put under one brand (same as webp), you still need to choose these formats and transcode between them.

In the context of the world it's all hair splitting, you can have a big photographic picture in png, or 1% compressed jpeg, or 1% jpeg converted to png. No new format can change it.

Architecture is the first to be outsourced to AI, because AI shepherds have no idea how to do it.

If you send light around the universe, is it in one direction?

They have so many accounts broken daily? Then credential stuffing attacks are not prevented.

The captcha is not just a checkbox, it's recaptcha.

For credential stuffing you need only one attempt.

It's statistics that emerges with very high probability due to the law of large numbers. If you calculate 1+1=2 with 100% probability, then quantum physics doesn't meaningfully participate in your reasoning, not more than brownian

You mean mind is deterministic and cancels all noise? Then what quantum physics would do there?

Miscalculation doesn't follow from randomness?

If particles were zero size, they would be already black holes. That's the fix introduced by string theory: particles aren't zero size there.
