Globalization created the problem that manufacturing jobs were lost, but the overall wealth of the population still went up. That means the problem is where the money is.

> Wanting to end a war that's been at a stalemate for 3 years doesn't mean sympathy or treason I find it so hard to take this point seriously. Without security guarantees, you are asking Ukraine to “end the war” and give up mas

The issue with most citizens getting left behind has far less to do with globalization and far more with wealth concentration. The overall wealth in the country greatly increased, but pitiful distribution led to that situation.

It’s still worth reading if you can look past it. The comment refutes your comment totally and in good detail.

It’s a lot harder to argue that those contractors form the bulk of the “democrat installed permanent bureaucracy that ACTUALLY run the government.”

I think it’s more apt to say that free will is an illusion.

I feel like Apple is to some extent the last bastion of this idea, at least as far as big tech companies go. (You could probably lump HP and Dell in there too, but to a lesser extent in my opinion). Since they produce hardware, they have ar

Of course, that verifiability is a big part of that trust. I’m not sure why you think my phrasing is not helpful; we seem to agree.

There is something to be said for trusting people’s (or systems of people’s) authority. For example, have you ever personally verified that humans went to the moon? Have you ever done the experiments to prove the Earth is round?

Language and ease of immigration are going to be very important to the decision of where to move. Naturally, those things you mentioned are important, but so is language.

The American federal government has more or less the same number of employees as it did in the 1970s.

But the democrat appointed heads had all the power?

> the permanent bureaucracy of democrats That’s ridiculous on the face of it, unless you think GOP appointed heads of agencies have been in on it, and that there has been a massive conspiracy for years with no real evidence leaking.

I recently tried this _exact_ same thing (except it was less of a meeting and more like a phone call) and I got stuck because it kept making up fake API endpoints OR I had to go manually login somewhere to get the API key.

I am I crazy or do Feynman diagrams not explicitly show interactions of particles moving back in time?

It makes more progress on P != PSPACE, which is a ridiculously big class containing the entire polynomial hierarchy (PH is essentially the union over all n of NP recursively relativized to itself n many times)

It takes constant space.

This reminds me of the joke from Ergodic theory that a lazy physicist can check for phenomena by only looking square numbers. To elaborate, Poincare recurrence says that certain nice dynamical systems will always return to near their origin

You can avoid the passive voice and write coherently or even conversationally if you have something interesting enough to say.

Simpson’s paradox is a real thing in medical sampling. As far as the rest of it, who’s to say?

Chapters 4, 6, 10, and 11 of Russel and Norvig’s Artificial Intelligence text all fit this bill.

Actually if you try to formally define sublinear time algorithms in this manner they all collapse to constant time algorithms. To see why, realize that to determine x, the TM needs to look at x many bits. If this algorithm only needed, say,

Optimization is near and dear to my heart (see username), but I think it’s fine to call optimization processes AI because they are in the classical sense.

Yeah that’s what you said. I was asking you to explain. It seems ridiculous to classify any terminal command as “eye candy” and what’s the point of asking the question if you want to hire someone that finds it stupid?

It’s auditable in the sense that there is a very high potential for reward (both reputationally and financially) for security researchers to break it.

I’m not sure what is the point of this comment. GP says “I don’t like it because X, Y and Z” and you come to say “Well it is X, Y, and Z so of course you don’t like it”
