This is, in my opinion, the correct way to think about the issue.

Does this look a bit like a flux simulator? I haven't got access right now. But from the abstract and the pictures it makes a sound a bit as if. Basically model and simulate the flux of metabolites via connected functions, linear-, ste

Oliver Samwer, while of course a controversial person, correctly points out that usually ideas are cheap. Execution, however, is where things get real and therefor hard. I tend to think that this is true more often than not.

Interesting analysis from my perspective as definitely not a good writer. One comment though: "But science is no longer done in monasteries. Competition, pride, ego, greed, and politics play all too great a role in determining who get

I see you are worried about unfairness resulting if this article's view of history were to become the established view. Who would you think are most likely to get the short end of the stick here? Is an emphasis of the importance of bio

Yep okay. So is what this then shows, really, that a Nash equilibrium is not so meaningful for this game?

Ok, I guess I need to understand how this is an equilibrium and read more carefully what the rules of this game are exactly. Because from reading it once I understood that pirates are supposed to decide on a proposed distribution. And accor

You keep saying "change their vote to no". Perhaps it would be educational why you think they should default to "yes" in the first place when offered 0 coins. It really doesn't seem that the problem you see necessar

by kmonad 11y ago
Can you explain a little more how this subgame-perfect equilibrium should be reached? From the game's description it appears that, all other things equal, I as a pirate reject a proposed coin distribution if I could kill the proposer.

A lengthy, convoluted article that concludes "It would be premature to declare the age of the algorithm over before it really began". No shit. For those wondering whether or not to read it, I'd say it's not really worth

This is really cool. Our bodies are essentially battle fields with different replicating agents struggling for control and a "place" in the future. Any cooperative "agreement" is loose and subject to change at any point

This all sounds important and exciting. But as an outsider, unlabelled graphs etc leave a lot of meaning to guesswork.

May I ask what the (ideal) outcome of this would be? I'm not sure this is clear to me and I couldn't find more info on your blog.

I am underwhelmed by this presentation. It feels pretty shallow and spontaneous. The advice on how to spot a promising team seemed fair, whereas the run down of Japan's economy was cringy to say the least. Question #1 was simply great

In my experience, younger PIs and the field I work in in general is moving away from the passive voice. While your experience seems to be that passive voice is clearer, from my perspective it is clunky and inelegant. I disagree that 1st per
