I cringe every time I came across these posts using words such as "humans" or "machines".

I mean, you're right but at the same time you're talking about something completely different. Software with security vulnerabilities is not a useful product. You don't address the raised issues.

I'm completely ignorant about this, but wouldn't it be possible to compile separately your project to improve compilation times? for instance, if you're using OP's vector library, which is self contained, you could compi

nwellnhof shared a link with a more efficient method for generating it. although the sequence is not completely random (there are around n^alpha length-n blocks of contiguous symbols, for some alpha in [2,3) ), what people have done with ot

it seems to me that the answer is clear: you take the uniform probability measure on the unit disc.

me neither. are all these self declared fans commenting here real? I hope they're bots.

It is true that people are not forced to buy things. But even if one is not _forced_ into something, one can be _manipulated_ into something. This is what happens with ads: they're most of the time misleading (and in many cases they li

what bubble are you talking about? you don't know what webpages I frequent. and you're still missing the point. I'm not saying that marketing has no effect on people (on the contrary, that's the problem, and it affects m

we are talking about different things. you're confusing the efficiency of current marketing at making people buy stuff with the efficiency of the economic system. the economic system is here for us to satisfy our needs (although of cou

it's already been explained in other comments: companies spend a shit ton of money to trick you (via storytelling, branding, slogans, influencers, psychological manipulation, etc) into buying shit. moreover, this is structurally necess

that's fair, but the sentence "marketing kills the humanity" remains true.

It makes the system very inefficient, don't twist my words, you're talking about something else. And this is not about intelligence, I'm not saying people make stupid choices. This is a question of perverse marketing incentiv

by robotpepi 9mo ago
the first sentence "People buy things because it provides them value." is very false. that's central to many of the problems with marketing.

you really don't see the problem with what you say? are you trolling?

People have the agency to not consume drugs. The point is, marketing is completely absurd, it's an immense inefficiency of the system.

I've tried with many models to program in mathematica and sagemath; they're terrible, even with lots of hints.

The point is the implied np-completeness of integer programming.

The vaccine causes your type of health problem with probability p, and someone who didn't take the vaccine during the pandemic would've developed health problems of similar severity with probability q. The vast evidence shows that

Even a paracetamol can kill you if you're unlucky enough. You have to look at the big picture. Anyway, I strongly believe that your vaccine didn't cause any problems, you're just hallucinating a link, probably because you nee
