Wait, this argument makes no sense. It wasn't until 1950 that we had game theory to analyze voting systems directly, and it wasn't really until much later that people looked at more efficient systems. It's not hard to show th

It does do that, but in order for it to inspect what's going on, the VM has to accept an outgoing connection as legitimate.

This needs to be mentioned more frequently to be honest. I still am unsure why the hell Gibbs vector calculus is taught when Clifford algebras are so beautiful.

You could probably let the schedule of the perturbations be a sequence ε→0, such that ∑ε = ∞, and such that ∑ηε < ∞ with probability 1, where η is IID, bernoulli on {-1, 1} (e.g. a square-summable sequence will do). I suspect this will b

I'd argue that P(altruism | largely gifted) > P(altruism), but that being said, I completely agree with your statement. It's still a minimal amount of people in general (and with some good economic reasons, too).

Yeah, I'd also like to know more!

What about using them as guides to realizing you enjoy this work? Even if you don't understand all the details? What about if you come from a different field of research and are interested in the bigger ideas---even if you have the mat

I guess technically everything physical is an FSM with enough states, but that wouldn't be a particularly strong statement. That being said, I'd argue a lot of such posts are of that form (one big idea that's well-known in

I love LaTeX, but I've been really enjoying Markdown in Pandocs as an alternative (with equation support, of course). All of the problems with tables (which are really some of the worst things in LaTeX) are super simple and everything

This would be a stable matching (after allowing these changes). Since Nash is guaranteed here, there would be no reason to lie on the original form, unless there's some weird mixed equilibrium (that's not pure). It'd be inter

I don't think that the GP meant "optimize by gradient descent." I think the intention was in saying that a problem that is differentiable (or sub-differentiable, if locally convex, say) gives a lot more structure to the pro

I did use RPG Maker, having found out about it in middle school (though I had programmed before), it was actually kind of fun to mess with, thanks for reminding me about it! I may pass it on. But, anyways, my point was less that they didn&#

Yes, sorry, when I say "graphical," I mean that the language has a graphical representation of the logical flow that doesn't have to be inferred from the text. E.g. in Scratch, as you mentioned, all blocks have text but the f

+1 for TeXmacs, though it seems development hasn't really continued which is a shame really: it's pretty fantastic software.

The same is true in the sense that they're actively helpful in 'hiding away' a large amount of complexity in relatively innocent-looking expressions, though Feynman diagrams are less of a tool of hiding information and more o

I thought progressive and regressive referred to convex and concave taxation curves, respectively (both monotonically increasing, of course). Then flat tax is exactly the border (i.e. a linear function).

I'm not sure I understand either. Any one-to-one function where the name falls under the inverse image of the range works (notably, stupid things like the identity mapping along with, you know, binary representations, etc).
