3. Focus very hard on staying conscious and you get to remember the process of falling asleep (do not recommend).

IP is a capitalistic idea that could do with some re-visioning (reduction to removal/replacement). But ecological disaster can form from careless/reckless plant reproduction. Some balance has to be struck.

Self publishing is on the rise. Some people feel the need to share, more than the need to make money... that's why a lot of books get written (I believe), generally not to make money, but to share something (the author feels is) import

We should do a Rome thing, rework the legal code at this point, now that we have the internet. Copyright needs to be abolished or radically altered.

Just for the sake of argument, let us say infinite copies kills all profit drive to make a book. What kind of books still get written? There is an argument for the quality of books being made increasing due to only books that have true pass

lets see how that plays out, Cotton. I would not be surprised that per the standard instillation route, default choices are designed to be as easily skipped as possible.

I have the suspicion that there are several very simple experiments we have yet to think up that would give incredible revelations with the inner workings quantum mechanics. I have a mental model for entanglement that's probably very w

I'm curious that the authors missed one basic explanation: food scarcity will force people into terrible decisions for survival. Maybe that measure is a gradient, not binary - the less food you have the more likely you are needing to s

Pedantic point here. PI isn't random. It is exactly the ratio of a radius and the circumference of the circle. Incommutability is not the same thing as 'random'. PI does not follow any sort of probability or statistical algor

I remember what the media was saying was different from what the leftists were saying. I remember the twisting of the most offensive viral take to garner views for the news outlets, sure... Do you believe everything you see on TV?

I mean to say, modeling a company hyper accurately - down to personal psychology of the high level employees - has diminishing returns for predictive value, and also diminishing returns for generalizability. And a surprisingly useful toy mo

Oh! I get to talk about my favorite subject: the egregore. When a company forms it is useful, if not entirely accurate, to describe it as an intelligent agent. This entity does not physically exist, the soul of Disney is not in it's av

It was more accurate. I've heard that around the same time defund was going around... But humans don't select catch-phases and sound-bites by their truth value... Sticky truths: that's what we need.

Sigh... Remove funding for the police to gather used and new military gear to use against the populace, while much more accurate - isn't as sticky... Sticky thoughts win over accurate ones. Truth needs a proper wrapping now a-days to e

I'm a layman here: so much salt to take with this. I assume the factors that mitigate/negate the no-cloning theorem are that the bath is not a qBit, but a collection, that the state's are initially entangled. It could also be

by altruios 2y ago
Boiling this down further... f(cQbit)=> bath = decompose(cQbit) Bath now has information about the central Qbit stored in the bath. Any measurement of cQbit changes the state of cQbit and destroys any correlation with the bath. Regardles

Experience and choice are adjacent when they are not the same. I specifically mean to say the experience of choice is the root of conscious thought - if you do not experience choice, you're experiencing the world the exact same way a r

The author fails to provide any argument other than one of incredulity and some bad reasoning with bad faith examples. The dollar bill copying example is a faulty metaphor. His claim of humans not being information processors and he tries t

what data would best be kept in a hexsheet rather than a table? I struggle to see the best use case - hexagons are cool - I would like it if this was useful.
