Sorry, what's the rating system?

Another famous example of this is McDonald's Monopoly: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/McDonald%27s_Monopoly#Fraud However, this fraud occurred in the late 90s instead, which is presumably why it's not mention

This particular problem I would guess not, but the more general family of problems that is optimal stopping I would expect so.

Since the OP is the author, I have to point out the following mistake: > Related to the "looks random enough" aspect, because the input size is almost always larger than the output (which is fixed size), there are usually an in

It's at the end of the first paragraph of the "Origins and early history" section.

In the article above? This is in response to the original article by Charles Piller, not this summary by Derek Lowe.

There are several companies that do this! Hindenburg Research and Muddy Waters Research are two.

That's not what a unit is. A unit is just a standard against with other quantities sharing the same dimension can be measured. Anything with dimensions of energy/time can be measured in Watts, not just instantaneous power in the

I mean, Watts are a unit . All of the things you are saying are important considerations when discussing the factory's pattern of output, but ultimately, as you point out, it is still valid to measure the average output in Watts, whi

It has dimensions of energy, which is what's being discussed. Things do not need to be measuring the same thing to have the same dimensions.

by Sniffnoy 4y ago
They are in fact equal as dimensioned quantities. Whether the comparison is useful or not, that doesn't make the rates unequal.

It's energy over time, that makes power. 240 GWh / 1 Year = 27,379,093 W.

So does anyone know how Lokiarchaeota fit into this? I remember reading that Lokiarchaeota were evidence against the mitochondrion-first hypothesis, but I have no idea how that claim has held up over time.

Again, if you are saying "actually it would be much worse than that", then you aren't disagreeing with the article, you are expanding on it, because the article is deliberately only saying "it would be at least this

> What a limited imagination of how an AI would take over. I think you've missed the point of the article. It's not intended to be a picture of how AIs would actually take over, but rather a lower bound -- a demonstration that

That post doesn't mention macros at all, so it does not seem to contain the macro-vs-fexpr contrast I'm looking for.
444.
by Sniffnoy 4y ago
I mean I'm asking about concrete differences in how they fundamentally work, since I'm not familiar with fexprs in the first place, and (as someone who doesn't use Lisp) not very familiar with macros either. I'm not ask

by Sniffnoy 4y ago
I see, thanks! Is that the only additional capability or is there more?

I mean, there isn't anything known as "the prime number conjecture". Goldbach's conjecture is a prominent conjecture about primes, but it's not "the prime number conjecture".
447.
by Sniffnoy 4y ago
So what's the difference between fexprs and macros? Can you give an example that illustrates it?

Can you perhaps summarize?

by Sniffnoy 4y ago
Are you going to expand on that or just assert it?
