I think it's that any experience is a combination of the senses and that most importantly of all thought is a sense. A sense is anything that happen involuntarily. Gathering data from the environment. Food is mostly nose/tongue se

It takes time to build up a high density culture. Thicker skin, a bit more aloofness, etc.. many run counter to what is considered "good" in sparser area.

This would pretty much be disastrous in the US because so much if the identities are based around a heroes journey. Unlike many Asian countries that more easily accept socialist narratives, the fundamental driving force in the US is that we

I'd say that in general, due to cultural expectations, men are better at anything that requires a domination mindset. Winning in zero-sum games. The non-domination mindset focuses on non zero-sum win win results. This requires creating

I'd say a fairly large portion of people getting involved in neural networks do so out of a desire to be better than others. A domination mindset rather than a curiosity mindset. Another large group is the pragmatic mindset since there

Toys are the stuff of life. What's the point of living if you're not having fun? A lot of "serious" things started out as toys. They just became ubiquitous and expected. The fabric of society becoming the fabric of reali

Yea but that's pretty much all hacks reported in the news. It's often social more than technological.

It is valuable as a store of value though. Either pure like gold, or tied to something more like assets. USD is a bit strange because it is both a store of value used by many countries as well as a currency. there is an implicit peg to oil

I think one of the fundamental tensions in society is the role of gatekeepers and their gates. The young are biased to view them as unnecessary and the old view them as necessary. The young often are overconfident, tearing down gates before

I'd argue that human bias is actually a source of truth. "higher" levels of truth are often codified in a way very similar to logical constructs. Human knowledge is biased but is flexible and adaptable. Codified law is fairer

I don't think this was unexpected though. Hence the willingness to buy into other forms of social like Instagram, WhatsApp, and snap(attempted)

Does it have to be though? I'm sure reading/writing were thought the same for women/blacks/etc.. at some point in history.

I think perfectionism can also be a crutch used as a weapon. The podium of perfectionism allows a moral high ground that is also an excuse to not engage with reality. The image is too pretty to soil. Reality is engaged with only when you ha

Reminds me of bad actors in large companies. You'd think it is beneficial to remove them as fast as possible, but in any sort of bubbled environment, extrication is not easy. Especially when the bad decisions are a result of the existi

It's interesting to imagine this being "good" from the chains point of view. It is "using" predictable human greed to create a situation where it absorbs more and more value. The game Go's complexity cascades f

I think AI works best when you have the AI on one side, and something "dead" on the other, like a pattern. Games, images, etc... Information nowadays isn't dead like it used to be, it's alive. It have desires and seeks r

I think cultural mastery is similar to skill mastery. They both take a long time to master. So once you start allowing parity at the bottom levels it takes many years before parity at the top is reached. Affirmative action often involves di

City folk often start out camping in designated grounds before moving on to solo trecks in the wild. "modern" cultures that have had more time to assimilate looser and more free conventions don't see how discerning or unsafe

The killer feature IMO for block chain technologies is their trustlessness. Mobile payments in China had the benefit of an extremely well built out cultural infrastructure of QR codes and also because the incumbent method of credit cards di

I doubt the people in slums appreciate this type of pity. Slums have vibrant and complex economies, just at lower denominations. Basic necessities can be met in all sorts of ways but people born in rich countries have distorted notions of b

One interesting way to think about the disordinate ratio of data to complexity is via hash functions. The output space of sha256 is finite, but because input is infinite, there are infinite collisions in the output space despite each output
