Which field, and which paper? Genuinely curious.

What you're describing was outlined pretty clearly in The New Ruthless Economy [1] in 2005. A very interesting read, given when it was publshed. [1] https://global.oup.com/academic/product/the-new-ruthless-ec

Not sure how much detail you are looking for, but I think essentially it is a term rewriting system.

What would a low capital biological research institute look like? Like nothing?....because it can't exist? (This is the answer in my experience). I ask only to see if anyone has any ideas. The consensus seems to be that you will always

Yes, but the point is the approach to proof (proving this for all cases) that represented a paradigm shift in mathematics, largely attributed to Thales.

Thank you both for the comments. I believe I remember early on there were some comparisons to kdb+/q. I think there is some pretty great potential with an offering like this (an in-memory database integrated with the language, coupled

Wanted to ask if JuliaDB is something that might get more development attention? Or will that remain a community project? (I see it’s been in need of a release for awhile.)

This is fantastic work. I had picked up The Body Electric over a decade ago, and maintain a strong interest in these ideas, though I currently work in a different field (synthetic biology). I hope to contribute in the future.

I was at Casa by The Sea in Ensenada Mexico from 2000-2002 [0]. These were run by WWASP (I wish I was making that up). What a trip to learn today that Paris Hilton was at one of the US based programs. As bad as these were in the US, the fo

I also have tried starting a research institute (eonias.org), and am a member of ronininstitute.org. I’d be happy to have conversations with anyone interested in setting up an institute: grant@eonias.org (my name).

I think it's worth bearing in mind that Hayek lived before the information age, and that there are real limits to the validity of the idea that design isn't useful (and especially in economics/finance). UBI may not be a good

This seems fair. > the US absolutely does not have a functioning legislative branch I'm more concerned by this than anything else. In effect this results in calcified government, which can neither regulate tech companies (or anythin

Government intervention in our markets is the rule, not the exception. Whether we call it ‘socialism’ or ‘stabilization’ is simply a matter of who is making the sales pitch.

Isn't this the sort of meta-hack that should(or is?) be illegal? I thought selling your services at a loss to specifically drive competitors out of markets was illegal? If it's not, should it be? Once capital has accumulated, ther

That’s not how it was presented in [0], which is one book I had read, among others. And that’s fine if that particular argument is incorrect, the logic of the point I’m making still stands. I can envision a feasible chance of a technologic

Here's the fundamental problem as I see it: probabilities are meaningless . We can talk about conditionals...potentials...likelihoods....whatever until we are blue in the face. All they do is provide a thin veneer over what I see is t

What is the point of writing a post like this? I feel like there is an impetus in the 'rational' tech press to want to downplay threats like nuclear war, and emphasize dubious threats like AGI. I really don't care if nuclear

Complete BS. The US has unilaterally kneecapped the U.N. and every other international organization capable of facilitating a fair world order. We don’t need the US to build a fair world order, contrary to the neocon ‘Pax Americana’ crap.

Are there any ideas out there addressing how research cooperatives might work? Ideally looking for ways to collectively manage large datasets (i.e. biotech research?).

This looks great. How would you compare to seastar?
