Yeah, that's correct. Democrats aren't made the same. Austin has built the most housing. YIMBY-ism is just free market conservatism economic policy dressed up in liberal language. Most people vote based off of vibes, not actual po

Most western European countries are as restrictive on speech as Singapore but are just dishonest. American freedom of expression is a singular achievement.

I've filed my own taxes for years and have a complicated set up; real estate, stocks, rsus, espps, private shares, amt, etc ... It's extremely straightforward and takes less time than using turbotax if you've done it before.

So it's like Europe but ten times better. Most countries are going to fall flat compared to the United States. Singapore is pretty amazing.

Freedom refers to a potentiality. You are conflating a potential (freedom) for a hoped-for benefit (highly competitive). A free market is a means towards a competitive market because it lowers the artificial barriers to entry into the marke

The simulation of a thing is not the thing itself because all equality lives in a hierarchy that is impossible to ignore when discussing equivalence. Part of the issue is that our general concept of equality is limited by a first order clas

Same reason you can't be rational about human language. People claim religion, but actually language is a better proxy for ethnic conflict.

The issue is that we have no means of discussing equality without tossing out the first order logic that most people are accustomed to. Human equality and our own perceptions of other humans as thinking machines is an axiomatic assumption t

Then the shrinking is exponential as well. That's the point. Population grows or shrinks according to an exponential curve. If the exponent is one, then things are stable. If it's less than one, then things will experience exponen

Linear and exponential growth look the same in short term horizons depending on the exponent. However, exponential growth is strictly superior as some things can grow very fast if the exponent is high enough. We saw that with covid. The exp

Unproveable superstitious rubbish. Irrational numbers exist as ideas, but there is no physical evidence that they are found in nature. We have processes that in their ideal limit will converge to numbers known to be irrational, and the law

It doesn't matter. Even the degrowth due to declining population is exponential in nature. That was the point, population grows exponentially or decreases exponentially. There is no such thing as linear population growth or decline.

Linear growth is nonsensical. Growth is driven ultimately by consumption. Consumption is driven by population. The population either grows or declines in an exponential fashion. That's how this works.

There are no irrational numbers measurable in the universe. Irrational numbers as far as we encounter are computable via straightforward algorithms.

Llms are easily made deterministic by choosing the selection strategy. More than being deterministic they are also fully analayzable and you don't run into issues like the halting problem if you constrain the output appropriately.

Yeah America has no ability to colonize other countries. We are not unified enough as a culture to do that. Look at the debacle of Afghanistan. Like right now there is starvation in Nigeria because Islamofascists from the north are hunting

Compilers are complicated. WASM has been a priority for the Haskell community for a while. Demonstrating GHC's ability to compile itself to WASM is thus a show that it is robust enough to compile a very complicated program into this ba

You can get a model to write lean or something, but formal logic, while verifiable is not useful for everyday life since it's mostly incomplete and does not even take into account inductive logic.
