I never said or implied that. A photo of Jeanne shortly after her daughter's death would be very compelling, for example.

What is a "moral market share"? Is that like the market share that you wish something had, instead of the market share it actually has?

It doesn't have to be simple. It just has to be more plausible than the alternative. So, which of the following is more likely? a) Jeanne lived for 122 years. b) Jeanne died and Yvonne's friends and neighbors allowed her to take h

I took a steel see-saw to the face on one of those playgrounds in the 1970’s. My little sister pulled her end down, which caused my end to shoot up unexpectedly. Ouch. Ruined my day for sure.

It depends on the context. When I’m cruising HN, I have no interest in watching a video. When I’m watching TV, the same video might be perfect.

This seems to imply that ChatGPT has a coherent underlying personality that would emerge when unrestricted, but I don’t know if that’s true. An unrestricted ChatGPT would simply follow its prompt in all cases. If the prompt encourages profa

Ah, the libertarian dream. Unfortunately, utilities such as phone service are often close to natural monopolies, due to the infrastructure overhead.

Divergent series have no finite sum, by definition. It's self-contradictory to proceed as though they have a sum anyway, even if it gives "meaningful" results. I think that's different from zero, negative numbers, real n

It's also worrisome to see a paper that's concerned with mathematical correctness using both commas and periods as decimal points interchangeably. See Tables 1 and 2, for example.

It's unsound because it assumes that a divergent series has a finite value. It's a kind of fanciful fiction, no matter who came up with it. In other words, if 1 + 2 + 3 + ... had a finite value, then that value would be -1/12

Would you want an AI trained on images from no later than, say, 1973? No? People 50 years from now will feel the same way. Without new images to learn from, I don't see how future AI's of this kind could know anything about their

It's mostly a copyright claim, though. The trademark claim is just the ironic cherry on top.

I’m a layman, but I always think of the Fourier Transform as “an algorithm that converts amplitude over time into frequency intensities”. I guess that’s more of a What than a How, but it still seems good enough for a single sentence.

> I promise that rational trigonometry will pay off in a big way later. Sorry, I seem to have missed that part. The article just ends suddenly. It's an interesting idea, but what's the benefit?
