I have ADHD. I can achieve more of what I want to achieve when I am on my medication. I prefer not to take it on Saturdays, as a day of rest kind of thing, but otherwise I think the treatment is quite beneficial, and think "treatment&q

It is based on SU(3), but, does it really make sense to say that it isn't still set in spacetime? Like, quarks still have position operators, yes?

But, for a system of two quantum particles which interact according to a central potential, you can express this using two quantum non-interacting particles one of which corresponds to the center of mass of the two, and the other of which c

Wasn't this subthread was about your claim that getting vaccinated doesn't influence one's chance of infecting others? If you want to retreat to "ok, they probably do actually help a little bit with that, but I think the

My understanding (I've never played it) is: each day there is a 5 letter word. You have a limited number of guesses as to what word it is (iirc 6 guesses). When you make a guess, it marks each letter with something indicating whether t

Would you? Are you saying that an oracle which gets some statistical information from such zk-proofs could be used to solve NP-complete problems in (randomized?) polynomial time?

Well, to have a formal proof of its own safety, we first would need a correct formal definition of what it means for it to be safe (or, rather, a formal definition of a condition which is truly a sufficient condition for it to be safe. It n

This seems to be, disregarding the entire meaning of "non-fungible" ? NFT doesn't mean "token". If you just mean "token", say "token"? Unless you mean like, "tokens which represent a fractio

1) "knowledge proof" : proving that you have some information . E.g. suppose I claim that a graph can be colored with only 3 colors. I can prove that I know a coloring for the graph with 3 colors, by presenting you with that graph

If we do achieve AGI through a setup which is not only neural network based, but where even the architecture by which the nodes are connected is beyond our understanding, then, that sounds very bad for interpretability and therefore for saf

in their example, iiuc, DB takes as input the value k, and returns a value of type Optional[k.Value] . The return type depends on the input.

I think they are just saying that they don’t have a positive motivation to “cause drama” and don’t have any vendetta against anyone which would motivate them to act against the company, but at the same time, that they don’t see “avoiding

I don’t think that is correct? Like, Aiui (this is from memory and I don’t remember where I read this, so you should take it with a good serving of salt), the term “gender” previously meant simply “type”/“kind”/“sort”, but became

Just another attempt to exert power over others by (an attempt at) imposing a definition used by one group, on the rest of society. The common understanding of the term is not “incorrect”.

utilitarianism is generally considered to only value outcomes and not any acts themselves. So, one is comparing “a person dying” and “5 people not dying”, unless there’s something about the experience of the death-due-to-murder and the deat

Regardless of what you call the person, doesn’t that seem a bit on the “rule of man” side (as opposed to the “rule of law” side) ? I recognize that in the end decisions need to be made by people, but, under the principle of the rule of law,

Well, the math for QFT isn’t on as clear cut foundations as it could be either, is my understanding. (No one has proven that there is a 3D QFT for anything more than U(1), iirc? Or maybe even for U(1) ? Idr. There’s a prize for showing one

I’m not sure this is a benefit? The time dilation means the passengers subjectively get there faster than they would without the time dilation. Why would removing this be a benefit? It means when you arrive at your destination you are older

AIUI, “Started moving away from the starting area” is wrong. The starting area is everywhere. It isn’t that there is some point where the center of the Big Bang was. The idea is that, stuff was basically evenly distributed everywhere , and

If you want to criticize twitter’s behavior in this way, say “free speech protections”, not “1st amendment”. Twitter is not bound by the 1st amendment. It may be reasonable to criticize them on the grounds of not protecting speech as much a
