The parent point still stands. Poland and England and everybody could have just not resisted, and accepted occupation, then there would be no war. (Most probably slavery or something, but not war). Iran didn’t agree to all US/Israel po

Math and computers have benefit of not needing materials. Add a button here, add lema and assumption there - all are almost zero cost&risk. So iteration/experimentation with llm in hand is possible to some degree even for laymen. I

Gasoline and lighters are abundant. It takes only slight steering mistake to drive into the crowd. Yet we are still here. Yes, terrible stuff happens, but they are extreme outliers. Not sure how this works, but we can trust strangers to qui

My personal opinion, this doom-mongering about LLMs, is part of marketing campaign to exaggerate LLM capabilities. (Play being: Sociopaths with money will buy or invest if they believe LLMs are powerful things)

“Technically correct" means a statement or action follows strict rules or exact facts precisely, even if it ignores the wider meaning or real-world intention. I think op was also actually-correct. (For better or worse, that is the obje

Hate is too strong a word for me personally. But lying (e.g. “full self driving next year”) and cheating (too early inclusion of spacex into various indexes) and whatever dogde was, should explain most of it. Connections with other disliked

When reading human comments, we should be generous; when we read corporate texts, we may assume paltering. (TIL: paltering: exact and technically correct statement usage to create misleading impression)

3-3 invasion takes teritory at the expense of influence (future potential). I think I improved a lot when I stopped 3-3ing (it opened up different style of game for me) Noobies love 3-3 (I definitely did), because it’s kind of simple and fa

Some part yes (maybe..). But I doubt that it’s majority. Whatever policy you implement, end result must be that stuff costs more and people live with less: virtually no personal cars, no for-fun-flights (vacation), force people to wear same

I would like to label guilt/innocence as irrelevant. The scenario above, describes the dynamics of how incentives work. As long as consumers expect stuff to be cheap, somebody will step up to provide that (reaping profits). Only highly

Lets start with best country of the world that is made of 300 million consumers and 1000 factory owners (also known as polluters) each of which has identical share of the market. To reduce pollution, factory owners would need to use less p

if you replace “they” with “prime minister that is hanging by a thread for quite some time”, you would get my personal conspiracy theory.

Can’t argue on that. More transparency is always good for end user.

I think what parent meant was, all poplar art tries to sarisfy some “algorithm”. (Algorithm of what will masses listen to) 20 years ago that was trying to pick good ratios of bass, haircut, and marketing to get into mtv top ten.

Does art need to “make a statement”? I think: - It is subjective. - if you enjoy it, then it is art. Doing music for profit is not a new concept, just look at pop music (and especially “boy bands”) But if end result sounds good to a lot of

Nice. Are these numbers the same: “0.5 in base10” and “0.1 in base2”?

I have a further nitpick regarding terminology. Wording like “game is more complex” overal seems incorrect. Game is not complex by itself (for example go rules are extreemly simple), all the difficulty and challenge depends on the skill o

Is 1/10 (also known as 0.1) a valid number in base 10? What about same number expressed in base 3? (I think in base 3 that would be written as 1/31) And what about number 0.1 in base 3? (Which is equivalent to 1/3 in base 10)

Fun. What about 1/3, 1/7, …? Previously outlines recursive procedure doesn’t generate those. But yeah, if you deny existance of irrational numbers, and redefine Real:=Rational, then you can generate these “real” numbers recursivel

Thanks for reply. When will this reach PI or e or sqrt(2)? (There are infinitely many numbers that will not be reached by this procedure)

by falserum 3y ago
1, 1.1, 1.01, 1.001, … This will never reach 2, so it will not generate all real numbers. (Which was what parent was asking for, to recusively generate all R)
