Now I'm left wondering how well this would work substituting in different books. Different religious texts? Especially if you pick one that is not part of the primary religion of the area you are located in. A Modest Proposal? Probab

Is there really a need for an abbreviation that cuts off 3 characters of an 8 character word? Feels like the risk of getting it mixed up with mRNA outweighs in. Then again, that mixup might happen even if microRNA wasn't abbreviated.

Not just the mindset. Our social setting can deem some hypothesis must be true and any disagreement is blasphemy of the highest order. The 'softer' a science, the more beliefs like this that exist. Sometimes you can even see sc

It is also key to building the idea that we don't have truth, we have the best model we have so far not found reason to reject (and sometimes one that is rejected as truth, but useful for some problems to be kept around). I see too ma

>time t can extend indefinitely Isn't that generally what convergence means? At least in the math sense, we are talking about t at infinity, meaning that in any real world time limited application, there is always a gap.

Is there an issue with how the data is grouped? At 19.9, you have a 50% chance of living to 59.9. But less than a season later at 20.1, you now only have a 50% chance o living to 40.1. How can the former be right if the latter is right?

Better programming, task to task, does not result in better applications. For a simple example, consider a would be program that takes 100 tasks of 16 hours each to build a program with a quality of 75%. With AI, those tasks can take an av

I think most things exist on a spectrum, though it is better modeled by a much higher order feature space and the spectrums we talk about day to day are stereotypes made to easily explain this, because a 1d scale going from 'no x at al

Being willing to work 40.5 hours fulfills this addendum. It doesn't mean anything more than that, nor does it apply to if you are still okay sometime in the future.

I could see an AI trying to hunt out a person's bottom line. I could offer this job for $10 to everyone, but maybe I'll subtract 0 to 4 dollars when I offer it and see who does or doesn't bite. If someone bites on lower pay

Your brain is constantly sensing things that you don't perceive because it is quickly filtered out. My guess is that tinnitus, at least at low levels, works much the same. So the more you think about it, the more you focus on perceiv

One of the things worse than a bad law is an inconsistently applied bad law, as that allows for it to be tolerated for longer and effectively enshrines the basis for the inconsistency as the true law of the land.

Is that really the case? Judges shut down some loopholes or 'hacks', but then others are allowed as being perfectly acceptable. The rational that decides when one is allowed and one is not seems to be a second level to the hacki

My guess is that scientists are considering this, but until now no better theory has been presented. Part of this is the distinction between what is happening and why the model says is happening. Does any physicist believe they have the pe
