The answer to the why part of this question, I think, is that this is what computers are capable of rendering. These are exactly the paintjobs that the GTA cars have.

the cost reductions are necessarily worse in the places where costs are lower. I think you didnt do that math right. You might be right that the logistics for shipping silicon are still so good that this does not reach the amdahl limit, b

calculus is full of ambiguity. Not in a mathematical sense, but as someone who has recently TA'd a calculus class, I can confidently assert that no mathematics happens there. Mathematics is only unambiguous insofar as you can check yo

Without any a priori information about the similarity of the responders and the non-responders, you should assume that the non-responders have colluded to hide the effect from you as much as possible. This is not a random sample anymore. Yo

There are so many effects here that no advice this unguarded has any chance of being correct. 1) there is an economic consideration. 100% of the conversation time must be used. By the pigeonhole principle, someone is going to have to speak

my favorite joke about this is: "the axiom of choice is obviously true, and the well ordering principle is obviously false, but Zorn's lemma? who can say?"

you've described a computer, it seems to me that you mean to put everything in some kind of normed vector space.

Your "guarantee" is insufficient evidence that lying to the population is worthwhile. The burden of evidence is on you, I think. You're also making unreasonable assumtpions about the burden associated with not lying. You don&

you are thinking about individual understanding, but science writers must be concerned with population understanding. People die and get born, and this is a force in the population making it know less over time. This force and education mus

The proportion of the population that is actually good at retaining information is too small to sample, but I'd bet that they don't take notes on average. Retaining information shouldnt have anything to do with how you ingest it.

Of course its all bloat. Software runs on computers, not engineers. The default assumption for software is that it will go on working. The state might devolve, but the software is exactly as reliable right now as it was before. I'm no

Women who can get pregnant is not a vanishingly small subset of women. Moreover, it can be derived from context in pregnancy literature that this is the subset of interest. Using a different word here carries no additional information, unli

Can get pregnant => woman is not the same thing as woman => can get pregnant. I think you will find I did not claim more than that, mainly beacuse I don't want to deal with this incredibly stupid, bad faith argument.

In what way is this language accomodating trans people? English has a right to a word that means, "those who can get pregnant". Moreover, that word is women. You seem to want a new word that means, "i want people to treat me
