Yes, so in this case investors are instead placing more of their capital in liquid assets, like public equities. With investors optimistic about the economy, keeping in mind that coupon rates rise during good economies, we would expect high

This could also be a bet that the economy is still yet to improve, as in times of good economy the coupon rate has historically dramatically increased. To extrapolate, if the investor expects the economy to peak in 5 years, he would be ince

That's true, but the main point is that current software still relies on sampling. Eyes don't sample.

That is an analogy not an abstraction but if you had read the paper or the single quote I provided, you would know that even relatively simple eyes (such as those of the frogs which cannot see still objects) don't only process a distri

Human eyes don't work anything like cameras. The eye processes information that isn't just intensities of photons and their wave lengths—which is the only information collected by cameras. See Walter Pitt's "What the Fro

By making choices on one's own accord. This is the only qualifier of Free Will. The argument against Free Will is that this is actually an illusion despite the experience–the argument is a metaphysical one, which can never be known as

I'm not. If I meant the experience of consciousness I would have said so.

by ethn 8y ago
So many popular science articles have started to commit ontological fallacies like this. Free will obviously exists because we experience it. This question presumes a denial of experience and a claim that really the experience isn't re

Aaronson is completely wrong here, there already exists many powerful analog computation models and physical hardware backing it up (Apollo 11 had many). More so, it's completely dissuading to mention that the Quantum Threshold problem

You're right that there are some regulations which make it artificially costly, but that doesn't disagree with what I'm saying.

Ray Dalio said the same thing in 1982, pushing him near bankruptcy to the point where he was forced to let go of all his employees—there's no doubt he learned since then but keep in mind he also made the same error in 2011. https:&#x2
