Reading the abstract, this seems to be a claim on P vs NP. Specifically, that P != NP. The claim goes through the front door, using descriptive complexity theory, claiming a formal system for P and then claiming that SAT can't be expre

What they're trying to get across is that this is not a Bad USB [0] attack, but an Evil Maid [1] attack. In either case, the attacker does not need to rush. To commit a Bad USB attack, the attacker deputizes you and uses your confusion

I think that you're smart enough to grok a slight nuance to point 1; it's a Monte Carlo simulation. Being non-repeatable and having to average results is part of the definition of the simulation. All code is trash, but not all cod

Aha! It's because we are talking about the value of a laborer , of a plebian, of an everyman. The value of the typical person, to some society, is the labor that they can provide to the society. Money is the only way that society can

You've been downvoted, but it's worth pointing out exactly why you're wrong: I am talking about salary, which means that folks are compensated not based on a number of hours spent working but on the overall impact that their

Labor's value does not come from its output; I am not talking about economic value. I am, rather, talking about opportunity cost; for what amount of money would I spend time, my only personal and non-renewable resource, on anything bes

This is a common misconception. Flat Earthers aren't unintelligent, as your wording implies. They are misled and miseducated . Indeed, humans have roughly been at their current level of intelligence for a hundred millennia, and show

Interestingly, I see these behaviors most often in pseudoscientific and fringe communities. For example, in the Flat Earth community, there are constant appeals to various bogus arrangements of mathematical and physical principles, and an i

Consider: You are worth about $10mil, in terms of labor. If you work for 40yrs, from 20 to 60, then you are worth about $250k/yr. Conclusion: We are underpaying nearly everybody in society.

Regardless of whether Redis is meant to hold ephemeral data in memory, it is well-known to anybody who has had to maintain a Redis instance as part of their deployment that Redis is only effective when used for ephemeral in-memory work. I

Assuming mental disorders exist, sure. But there is also evidence that a sufficiently technocratic government will use psychoactive drugs indiscriminately on its population in order to coerce and control them [0][1][2][3]. We must demonstra

Be less of an advertiser, if you want the attention of folks. Show them what you can do for them, not the latest trinket that you want to trade for cash. I find it very revealing that you didn't post links to your first few interaction

It is interesting how powerful the meme is which prevents discussion of psychology and psychiatry amongst the laity. Multiple threads started and died on the theme of being a layperson and not an expert, despite the fact that any science sh

Let me fix that for you: If you're willing to strike, you must be willing to do so under the real risk of being murdered [0]. If you're new to this history, the Coal Wars [1] are a good starting point. [0] https://en.wi

There's also the viciousness with which strikes are broken in the USA. We are no longer in the era of Pinkertons [0], exactly, but Reagan still fired the air traffic controllers [1]. [0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki&#x

That's not where your original goalposts were; you were talking about historical retrospectives of the USA in particular. You've now shifted to whataboutism [0] in order to try to minimize the USA's misdeeds. Meanwhile, I&#x2

Or, you could zoom out and look at a pattern: Intel's failure to care for the safety of their employees is analogous to their failure to care for the safety of their customers, in the sense of Meltdown and Spectre. In both cases, upper

Oh, agreed. I am fairly anti-Christian, and I don't mean to say that cops should be held to higher standards when they're pastors, but more that it is despicable that a single person should both claim to be a source of moral guida

Fascism is the cloak used to conceal the dagger of ethnonationalism. To quote a memorable video introducing extremist ideologies by explaining what life in those societies is like [0], "In the fascist village, the village itself looks

That's just how some people are. For what it's worth, I can't look at anything I make and be happy with it; I only see the flaws, omissions, and infelicities. If you can be proud of what you make, then great! Nobody cares eit

Wolfram's framework is unfalsifiable and contains no new explanatory power. That alone should be sufficient to show you why folks are so skeptical of the claims. Combined with the fact that he introduces new terminology and refuses pee
