Think of f as a function that takes a value and returns a value. Y takes a function and returns a function. Y(f) returns a new function that takes a value and applies f to it, recursively forever, ultimately converging on a value (or infini

Depends what you mean by "elite". Obviously a ton of people disagree with him. I'm just saying, that doesn't matter. There's not a single Republican in government that's willing to publicly contradict Trump on

No, he doesn't have advisors. He has a cabinet of sycophants who parrot his every flip-flop. His "advisors" have made it clear several times now that they have no idea what the plans are until they're announced on Truth

I'm super into the component model but honestly the tooling is still not ready. Basically only LLVM (and really just C) has good enough tooling. The rest of the wasm tool chains are still heavily focused on core modules and if they sup

It's easier to remember if you use a more common notation: (Y(f))(x) = f(f(f(...(x)...))) Or express it in python, which is still a bit weird but probably still more readable than pure LC to pretty much everybody: def Y(

The opinions of "elites" simply don't matter. There's only one guy who matters when it comes to policy now. And he's not known for his thinking abilities

I think the argument "MCP is Web 3" should be interpreted more-or-less as "LLM interoperability is Web 3"

This is a very charitable explanation. There's a much likelier one; Trump is literally doing what he thinks is right and smart. Of course, he's wrong, but nobody with the power to stop him is willing to call him out on it yet. It

Ya, the current students do not, but future students do. They're the ones who will take their business elsewhere. Schools with slipping standards may not see negative effects in the short term, but people are waking up to the fact that

Sure, but not all degrees are equal. Institutions have reputations based on how smart / effective their graduates tend to be. So by making it harder for the careless ones to graduate, a university can enhance the value of the degree fo

Did you not watch them land the starship? That's easily the biggest space-faring accomplishment since Apollo, and certainly not something NASA could replicate in the foreseeable future. Speaking of the moon, NASA's SLS is projecte

Tesla made 50% of its revenue in the US in 2024. It's a global company. Trade wars will not be the massive boon Tesla investors are hoping for. Remember that their current P/E ratio is ~134, so the stock price already has a ton

by bloppe 2y ago
Tesla's current P/E ratio is 134. To be a rational Tesla investor, you'd have to think it has almost 600% profit growth potential to reach the long-term American blue-chip average P/E of ~20. That kind of growth would be

You forgot to mention that China, Vietnam, Thailand, and Indonesia are all betting big on EV production. China is of course the main competition, but it's telling just how stiff the competition is getting across the board. BYD is curre

I understand all that, but overturning precedent is pretty much always an option for common law judges (and even when they don't want to call it overturning precedent, they can just find enough "substantive differences" to ca

That's not what investors want to hear, so it definitely wasn't to get funding

I've never understood a strong distinction between common law and civil law. Seems like the only difference is that common law is supposed to involve stronger deference to judicial precedent, although clearly it's not absolute.

In the US, the commits (aka bills aka statutes) are the source of truth, but they're regularly compiled and codified into the US code [1] which is analogous to the tip of main. The code is a concise, organized, holistic representation

That's why people who use lunar calendars tend to live closer to the equator, where the annual effects of the Earth's tilt are negligible and the lunar cycle is much more noticeable

Ok I'll bite. The US is an example of such a jurisdiction.
