For non-relativistic QM, the QM formalism is provable from Bohmian mechanics, an actual particle theory. BM starts from particles have locations the change continuously in time via a guidance equation using the wave function of the universe

Crime is often hyper localized. In some areas of some cities, crime may be going up while the overall rate of the city or country is going down. These intensive areas can also change over time. I am not aware of any analysis of the localiza

pro-communists want a system without competition. Pro-capitalists do want competition or at least no restrictions. People who are practicing capitalists would love to not have competition. Think of a prize race. The people organizing the ra

It was about abusive monopolies where consumers want something different. This is easily fixable by competition. Google is a perfect example of how incredibly easy it is to escape that monopoly. I do it all the time. Imagine what would happ

Abusive monopolies without the imposition of violence (either by the government or the company) lasting for a long time horizon? Yes, that would seem implausible in a free market. For example, if someone controlled the water pipes and charg

As far as I can tell, Austrians believe that analyzing based on individual preferences and actions is the key. I haven't made it very far into Mises Human Action, but I gather that was the starting point and Mises developed many theore

I agree that this is a very likely future. Over the summer, I did a daily challenge in July to have ChatGPT generate a debate with itself based on various prompts of mine [1]. As part of that, I thought it would be funny to have popular son

Your solution would ultimately lead to treating all those items as uniform goods, but they are not. There are preferences different people have. This is why the price system is so useful. It indicates what is desired by various people and g

One thing to keep in mind is not so much that AI would replace the work of video creators for general video consumption, but rather it could create personalized videos or music or whatever. I experimented with creating a bunch of AI music [

Constructivist basically means being able to be explicit. Dedekind cuts and Cauchy sequences are not necessarily constructivist though something described by one of them can be explicitly descriptive for some applications. Any approach whic

I came up with a different definition that is a kind of inverse of Dedekind cuts. It is the idea that a real number is the set of all rational intervals that contain it. Since this is circular, there are properties that I came up with which

I have been using the $200 plan the past day in CodexCli and so far find that it is easy to work with (nothing crazy, just web app stuff). The context window means I no longer have to worry about running out of room and it seems to stay on

You are correct that the pilot wave theory (Bohmian mechanics) says that instead of wave OR particle, it is wave AND particle. But the particle does not generate the wave. There is one wave function governing the whole universe. It is a fun

It is all about competition which is, at its root, differentiation. The productivity can lead to increased wages for workers if workers are able to jump jobs because of this stuff. Not sure that it works like that with the AI tools. It coul

Feeling the same, I just started a dialectic blog, with ChatGPT arguing with itself based on my prompt. It can have some biting words. I also have been using Suno AI to make a song with each post; while not perfect, it certainly allows for

Thanks for the tip. That does work much more like Zed's integration. I used multipass to setup a VM, created a non-admin user, restricted its internet with tinyproxy, mounted the repo I am working on, and I don't worry about the d

Could be. We tend to think of a number line going in that order, that is, the lower numbers are to the left. What is interesting is that being > 0 is often a condition, such as epsilon > 0. Though that is often paired with something l

There is hypersrcipt: https://hyperscript.org which claims a descent from hypercard and certainly embraces the web. Also, this might happen in a few years if AI improves enough to be trusted to make things by novices. Hard to im

It depends on the theory. The Bohmian theory, which is what I have been using, is one in which electrons have actual positions that change over time along trajectories. We may not have access to that data, but that is fine. Certainly in si

In physics, particles not being labelled by anything other than their trajectories is a very natural starting point. When one uses the natural configuration space, one without labels in which a configuration is a set of n points in physical

The definite positions of your brain states evolution is correlated to the other positions of all the stuff. The other particles do have an effect on your evolution and there is a "you" set of particles one can talk about. Remembe

Bohmian mechanics is based on the idea that we perceive stuff to be in a certain position in a single reality because there is a correspondence to stuff being actually there. That's nice. If the particles are surfing a wave and not imp

As far as I can tell, they are unrelated beyond the relation all definitions of real numbers would have with it. There is a superficial Left and Right boundary defining an interval that contains the number, but it does not seem like there a
