Interesting. How has it influenced your life, do you think?

For all we know, causality (or simply put - the past) is simply a feature of being, i.e. the product of now, as opposed to now being the product of causality. We think that we transition from now to a different now through causality, but ma

You can eval strings in Javascript, so pretty sure that's possible.

Is sand dug to construct dams?

Probably the one that's used by most words. English pronunciation and spelling seem to depend on the word's etymology. I'll try and derive a spelling system that results in least changes to the current vocabulary. Edit: if yo

Good luck, it can be tough, but you're worth the effort.

A computationally derived variant of English that has a 1-to-1 mapping between spellings and pronunciations.

I've heard it said that we don't know what electricity is or how it works. To what extent or in what sense is that true?

That's a great explanation.

Sure, I understand why people use comparisons. It's just that I'd like to encourage conscious use of language.

by dmos62 2y ago
You say it's just a hyperbole as if the comparison being made (dictatorship or violence or whatever) has no meaning for the speaker or the listener.

Sanctions are partial, the shadow fleet is operating, support for Ukraine is partial, China and India are not experiencing notable repercussions for supplying Russia, Europe is buying Russian gas. There's a lot Europe could do to show

I find it funny how if you marginally, but consistently, offend a geopolitical entity (Europe), you can actually train it to reduce the limits of what it considers acceptable. Just like a dog, or a person, I guess.

There's something to be said about psychedelics and introversion in general being a two-edged sword. There's also something to be said about how we get into trouble when we consider beliefs or abstract feelings as something outsid

10 free searches a month would work well for me, I think. A small free tier might be enough to get me to pay for Kagi. Currently I'm just not sure I'm missing anything and I don't have a way to test that, last I checked.
557.
by dmos62 2y ago
My first thought. I'd think that first N searches being free each month would fix that for me. Paying for the full month for 1 search feels off, but paying the same for 10 searches dilutes the feeling by factor of 10.

It is easy to say it's complicated, but you've inadvertently illustrated just how easy it is to say that it's simple too.

The only thing that's missing is moving most of nested logic into `let` assignments.

I don't think I have. In those other cases, do you think that dang is being biased towards certain causes, or that he failed to moderate for some more benign reason?

Wouldn't you profit from believing that the other party acts in good faith?

My take is that it takes only a small percentage of people to be toxic, for the lack of a better term, for most of the conversation to be toxic. E.g. someone acts inappropriately, then a few people overreact (i.e. follow suit), then whoever

One can singlehandedly provide valuable information and degrade the quality of the conversation. Best to not, of course.

So invest in s&p 500 and do nothing, right? That's a good strategy for someone young, because it makes sense to be risk tolerant then. As you age you want more and more of your portfolio in bonds/cash, because you want the red

Someone seems to say something demeaning like that about him whenever he comes up, and I don't really know why. Which is fine, maybe it's a subjective thing. For what it's worth, the few times I read something of his, I loved

Stephen Wolfram has been taking a stab at it. Researching fundamental physics via computational exploration is how I'd put it. https://www.wolframphysics.org/

I agree that doing hard things and character building has its place. I'm just not sure that basic arithmetic is that place. I like to think that a kid inherently has something more tangible to get excited about than dopamine-bomb video

The kid doesn't care at all about the problems she's asked to solve. I considered that normal until recently. Now I'm increasingly surprised that no one bats an eye that we're forcing kids to learn. Naturally that has li

Why have multiple git identities in the same machine? I use a single different key with each machine and that's it.

That's awesome. What sensors have you considered? I'm interested in extremely weak, high-frequency vibrations of everyday things while in resting state (which is sort of the opposite of what you're after, as I understand), bu
