I really do believe this, and the project of classical liberalism as a whole. However, I've found myself without a good response to: > But everyone is biased, including journalists. So the best we can do is to get rid of the false n

How precisely does one "leave their country for good"? Do you seek asylum? You can't actually just hop on a flight and go live someplace else without a visa, and that takes months to process.

And why is this "natural"? I find the collapse to be the strangest axiom, the rest I can handle.

Could you please link me to such a course that displays the hardware level solutions? I'm super interested!

This is what I'm trying to combat, though! The math is not over your head. maximum, If you know high school math, then literally all one needs to start studying quantum computation is linear algebra --- you can study in a semester,

Thank you for the correction, this was indeed what I meant to write :)

I'd recommend learning the math/physics from a textbook. At some point, the pop-sci explanations get so garbled that they make the actual idea sound harder and more mysterious than it actually is. When I first understood what enta

Is there a textbook that teaches these sorts of theorems? I'd love to read economics from a theorem-proof perspective

In a world where unsafePerformIO, error, etc don't exist, sure. The reason most Haskell codebases are cleaner is because the culture manages to uniquely emphasize good practices such that people don't try to break abstraction barr

Ah I see; The word "adjoint" tripped me up, I presumed they meant "adjunction", and not the matrix-transpose-adjoint :)

Honest question: how do we know markets work better? Where would I start a quest to read peer-reviewed research of how markets are better than centralized planning in the 21st century , where have powerful computers that are capable of ass

Thank you for this. I learnt probability from Sheldon Ross. I now realise I don't grok correlations at all! I had the exact same mistakes in my mental model of correlation as OP. Where do I go (what do I read) to get a good account of

Can you expand a little further? I don't see the adjunction (between what categories?)

Can you tell me where you read this? I'd love to read the sources on this!

That's fine. It's still a normal distribution with a different mean. The Gaussian is characterized by having only the first two moments: mean and variance.

Can you tell me the hackenbush interpretation of this? sounds cool!

For anyone looking for a sane way to study this stuff, what finally made sense to me was (1) study discrete differential geometry from Keenan Crane's notes: https://www.cs.cmu.edu/~kmcrane/Projects/DDG/

UIP is "unicity of identity proofs". I think this will rule proofs where we wish to talk about proofs of equality of two objects. I don't know off the top of my head any math that wants to do such a thing, but I'm far fr

While the above is tecnobabble, there /is/ a simple way to state what git is. It's an API to interact with a torsor. We have files, which are inert objects and form a "file space". We have diffs. Diffs can "act

Does the representation theoretic perspective / harmonic analysis also explain why the Laplace transform works? I would be interested to know if it's possible to pick a different compact group from S1 to recover the Laplace transf

MCMC is definitely not forgotten, it's still taught and used extensively by a bunch of folks, including those writing graphics engines!
