The motivations for fakery are too high.

That’s never been the case. Drive down moderately steep grades and shift to a low gear to spare you breaks, for example. It’s the same argument. We don’t drive black boxes. Anecdote, a relative drove trucks in the Korean War and after, his

Another problem (which Tegmark writes about) is math will have to change. Some of the math we study will have to be part of illusion - there is no “one” math currently, and how could something exist in MUH which isn’t computable. His vision

I became convinced when he said he was putting CPUs in the Tesla Wall batteries during the cpu shortage for mining. I knew there were signs (cybertruck, the robot gimmick possibly being earlier one) but that was it for me. This is separate

My memory is everyone just loved buying cheaper things like flatscreens. This “selling” business is made up hindsight and I hear it a lot. “Do you think globalism is a good idea”. No idea but weren’t you just at Black Friday buying $300 TVs

And yet my Google engineer friend tells me to use Bard for my math coursework. I know it’s just an anecdote but what’s with the hype? I was paying attention and it’s why I refuse to use LLMs for math, but I’m being told by people inside the

Just trying to gauge opinions. Is roughly half off tuition for 3.5+ GPA acceptable? That’s been the most generous I’ve seen

Ask Llama of course. Showing that you are willing to ask an LLM is a perfect sign for a candidate!

Math major here. Go for it CA. The current "STEM pipeline" is garbage and underserving. A larger populace not excluded from the pipeline (because it wont exist) and not being turned off by math before high school is actually a ste

“people who go to college decide on what to major in significantly based on two factors: earning potential and whether a field is seen as high-status” Ya no wonder I wouldn’t like CS with these peers. You have to be a nerd and supremely int

Well in 1929-1930 The stock market crashed and regulating others in a market became needed. Now it’s who can regulate the market best in their interests, like cooperations dominate with bailouts and subsidies. You’re picking a fight with a

1) Because physics has had an ontology, what there really is, since like Aristotle. Even if ontology changes, posing one has worked for roughly 2500 years to partially guide science. It really does inform all kinds of experiments, even thou

Do you know if Bohmian mechanics with a particle ontology (still with non-local "hidden" variables ofc) or GRWf has potential to save classical gravity as well?

While my dad shopped for one for my sister I had time to drink a coffee, find a Mother’s Day gift of chocolates, and do some work (the Apple Store outside Apple Park has all this).

I can confidently say only 6 out of 16 years of math education (elementary through undergrad math degree) were "good". Contrarily for example, most science classes were good in my experience. Math is down there with the worst aver

From the outside, I’ve never seen a smaller professional circle with grander claims. Crypto was more mixed from my recollection, a bit less ivory tower as the tech isn’t that complex, and very prominent people in the tech itself werent so r

No way. BM is like the last vestige of physics as the study of nature in the way ancient Greeks/Aristotle (grandad of much of science, father of biology and all) understood it. To go a-interpretational about physics is a two-millennia

empirical mathematics will never subsume all of mathematics, unless we have AGI then a strong maybe. This goes back to Plato at least, who said incommensurability is not something the physical senses could ever know. Physical lengths with n

Are you saying this because quantum mechanics is random in some interpretations and is our most fundamental theory? That’s a bit of a stretch when we don’t actually know if QM is objectively random, but it could be sure. But then what about

People are just asking to be ruled. Cool talk to your companion AI while actual psychopaths achieve power in the real world. Humans are apparently ready for it. There is so much enthusiasm, and HN is ahead of the curve. This article is 10

We maneuvered ourselves out of the bare epistemology of the jungle to something much grander. We did this. We formed intensions and relied on and developed new and better epistemologies. We didn't wait around for nature to push us ap

I notice something from some of my “Google” friends. Adamant I should consult these models for my math degree (I’m a bit younger than them). Don’t they know these models fail horribly with math especially? Is it hype from inside the castle

How can you hate those groups but not hate the_donald where mods were also a disaster?! They absolutely love to gaslight you in general. Shouldn't a good faith response to a post in the_donald not be immediately removed and OP banned?

Just because whole new universes might fluctuate from spacetime patches, doesn't mean the non-fluctuating patches wont be in heat death forever in the far future. In so far as we can talk about multiple universes in such a picture, &qu
