Hanlon's razor is a boundary condition. Over time strategies improve, including malicious ones.

ok, but all of those rabbit holes have bottoms. It just may be that the space in between represents a year or more of learning.

No, it's not. Napkin math is utterly useless here, and I think you don't understand utility. Ultimately, all utility functions (strategy space to R), when integrated over the rest of time, produce either a finite value, or an infi

Your napkin math says this? So it must be right then... Surely all that is required for such a decision on the scale of every human doing this every year is some napkin math.

This makes sense technically, but it still doesn't answer the question of why it isn't fixed. Is it really that hard to experiment with caching policies? Is there secretly only one developer at instacart?

It seems you either don't know what an externality is, or you don't understand how plastic is an externality. In the second case, I literally cannot help you. Try to imagine yourself as a member of the ecosystem which is activel

All you have to do if you're looking for a "market" solution to this, is price in the externality somewhere . What portion of the externality the consumer and the producer end up being responsible for will ultimately be deci

I have a related question. How is instacart so slow? I am usually pretty unbothered by slow load times, but searching for and selecting groceries is a full 10 times slower than any other experience on the internet. Is this a deliberate pu

how limited? The growing season produces a pretty significant dip in global CO2, what if instead of burning it wholly, we pyrolysed it? That seems much better than carbon neutral.

Get in a pool at the deep end with some floaties and some iron ankle weights. Add floaties and weights until you are at equilibrium at your neck line. Hold your breath and add some weights slowly to your hands until exactly when you start t

For the record, the saturn V rockets operated at 120GW. Which is also close to a terawatt.

Infinitely less feasible, even. I swear it's like half of these commenters have never had to deal with a user.

It is worth no additional effort on the part of any citizen to allow PET to be recycled, rather than simply buried. It does no harm to anyone to be buried.

by ouid 6y ago
The problem with recycling is that it's stupid. Our trash bags are plastic. It's not worse for the environment to put some extra plastic inside the plastic bag that you use to throw away your trash. Recycling is for materials whic

Just an FYI, succumbing to illness usually refers to dying of that illness.

Ok, but you know what has a really really direct effect on colds? I swear, it's like people don't understand why we measure R_t. propagation is sigmoidal phenomenon. A reduction in transmission by 10% can easily lead to a reduct

I don't think you understand what they are measuring here. There are a lot of interest groups dedicated to selling oil until there is no more oil to sell, and they have no interest in being transparent about what they mean when they sa

You have made two claims directly, and asserted their equivalence for a third claim. People have not seen the Emma Watson porn, and those that have can probably read the word deepfake in the title. My guess is between 5% and 20% of the peop
