I agree. And modern Western science and political thought has followed Aristotle far more than Plato. In particular, the parts of Aristotle's science that got thrown out was the result of following out his empirical method further than

The problem started because Azure was initially designed and released in a huge rush because Microsoft was so far behind AWS and needed something better. I am reminded of the research finding that every human-designed complex system that wo

Remember, Microsoft's goal is to turn Windows into an AI agent that keeps all your data in the cloud, that it can use that data for endless money-making purposes like advertising, and that you pay for with a dozen different subscriptio

The basic problem is that human hands are made of flesh, while robot hands are made of artificial materials like steel and carbon fiber composites. Flesh is a million times more complex, starting at the molecular level, and so it can do all

A few thoughts: Won't kids just lie about their age, like they do to sign up with social media? What if more than one person uses the pc? What if it is sold? If the OS is open source, then the user could remove the software code to col

Am I correct in assuming that you believe, as Trump puts it, that global climate change is a hoax invented by the Chinese to ruin the American economy? And that we should stay on fossil fuels forever? Or if I am wrong about you, then tell u

I think it is plausible that this piece by Chomsky's wife is honest. However, I have one problem with it. This is that it does not say what they did when they learned the truth about Epstein in 2019. Did they cut off all relations?

"No, not at present - but there will be in the future" That seems to imply that until that future arrives, people should mostly stay away from cybercurrencies. I am bringing all this up because when cybercurrencies were getting s

I am a listening trainer, and have taken over 1,500 people through a basic session in active listening. But that said, I agree with you that what matters is having a good relationship, and that involves using different communication skills

A couple of questions. (1) can you point to some large important positive uses of Bitcoin at present, or are you just saying that at some point in the future we will see them? (2) are you saying all the bad things like Ponzi scams, hacking,

The question is would it cost less over the long term than any other solution. My intuition is it would, at least for a lot of use cases, but it would need to be put into practice and studied to see if this is actually true.

I see what you are saying, but not publishing the materials is not going to solve the problem. That's because the people who are attacking the professors will just get it by some other means, like having someone attend the class. Remem

A heat pump gets more heat from a given amount of electricity than if the electricity is use for resistive heating. So the ideal design is solar cell + sodium battery + heat pump.

Actually for most trucking batteries are already practical. Most trucks travel only one or two hundred miles a day, like doing deliveries or going from a port to a warehouse, or a warehouse to a location like a factory or store. And even l

It is possible to strongly disapprove of both Israel's policies in Gaza and the present regime in Iran. Or is it the case that you support the present regime?

So do you think most Iranians approve of the present regime? And if not, what do you think they should be doing?

This is one reason why artificial general intelligence is impossible. It is because most of the knowledge needed would require knowledge that does not already exist in text form.

My first computer was a Z80. It was an Amstrad 8256, also known as the Joyce. It was sold as a word processor, but it came with a copy of cp/m you could load in. I bought it because it was about as powerful as the Apple computer of the

If string theorists are now unemployable, and they have to rebrand themselves as doing ML, then it seems to me that string theory is disappearing on its own, even if there are still some with tenure who continue to publicly promote it, but

Is it your view that this set of ideas is mistaken? If so, kindly present some arguments. Or perhaps you know they are correct but don't want to admit it, so you are trying to divert people's attention from the ideas to the questi

Here is my question to string theorists: suppose some physicists came up with an alternative theory of everything and were able to use it to make unique empirical predictions. Would you accept it as true and abandon string theory?

I think the larger problem is that as citizens we have to have views about many different topics that are very far outside our direct experience, so we have to figure out who to trust among various claimed experts that we also don't kn
