at least on the first one there was really only one way it could have happened under reasonable assumptions (mainly, that the white queen had just been taken). I'm not sure it works very well for the Wordle format, although it is fun a

I tend to believe that whatever a person ends up doing is what they actually "want" to do at some inner emotional level (which they may not consciously be aware of). So this person wants to build, but after releasing things to luk

It sounds like you have ignored all the answers and then you're saying there's no good answers? If you want to convince someone they're not good answers you would have to at least engage with them and show how they fail to be

Well, I don't agree. Maybe you are talking about how people's intuition initially breaks on the double-split experiment, or spinors, or whatever else? But I'm not talking about broken macroscopic intuition failing on quantum

Hating particular men is not at all like hating men in general.

by ajkjk 2y ago
That's false. Intuition does work in quantum mechanics, if you do the work to build up a good intuition for quantum mechanics. Which means exactly what I'm talking about: building your intuition on models that give true results in

I think it's a big improvement. Stiffness is something you can picture directly, so the data -> conclusions inference "stiffness" -> "mass and short range" follows directly from the facts you know and your mod

Nah it really is simpler than that, that picture has exploded the summations to make it look complicated. Although it is strangely hard to find the compressed version written down anywhere... the thing about Lagrangians is that they compose

By never seeing one you are sure to insulate yourself from... something? guilt by association? Makes no sense. See one or don't, it has no moral meaning.

Sometimes people say that the fix is unionizing workers -- which, yeah, probably, eventually -- but I suspect the first step is just organizing their thoughts, so that people can get collectively outraged. It's way too easy at the mome

Yes, it is. Unequivocally. You might be overindexing on the loud voices.

I feel like when this all started out the problem was really taking it more seriously. People would talk and complain about it and no one would take them seriously. So the group managed to scrounge together enough power to force it to happe

It really means nothing to talk about how much additional energy was added in terms of Tsar Bombas unless you're also going to tell me the sun's steady-state energy in the same units. Just sounds like you're trying to make it

I looked into this for a while and it sounds like, not really, it just intends to use a lot of comptime stuff. Also.. It doesn't exist, lol, it's just a bunch of advertising. Unfortunate.

by ajkjk 2y ago
I mean that it is sort of a rhetorical sleight of hand to say that real numbers 'exist'. Integers for instance exist, in that they count things and label the cardinalities of sets. And rational numbers exist because they label the

by ajkjk 2y ago
Well, I am glad to learn an even better notion for the concept I'm talking about! I'm just saying, I think "definable" is too loose, because it presupposes that I can even talk about real numbers in a definite way. &qu

by ajkjk 2y ago
I don't know a ton about this (just heard about it in something I read somewhere?), but I prefer the computables--I feel like the idea of a computable number is the formalized version of the idea that (non-integer) numbers in nature do
715.
by ajkjk 2y ago
It's a trick! Despite the name, the real numbers aren't real at all. Most of them don't exist... Now the computable reals, on the other hand... maybe.
716.
by ajkjk 2y ago
Is there such a thing as a language that is always comptime by default? I.e. the main source code of the language runs at compile time, but emits as output another object in some data structure which then becomes the runnable program?

I'd like to see the "imagine what you'd look like if you exercised a lot more" or "had better posture" or "spent all summer in the sun" filters.

No, I'm saying: greed is not a good explanation; what looks like greed is essentially required by the world we've built; blaming it on greed alone is an attitude of hopelessness. The problem is our ambient value system, which dema

by ajkjk 2y ago
I think it's useless to believe that the explanation behind everything is "greed". It's so easy to blame greed; it's amorphous and meaningless; it gives you nothing you can do; it's the logic of a people who ar
