That's what it says in the original post. It is also non-sensical. If the probability is 10% (p=0.1), and the number of systems is 11 (n=11), then you get 1/(1 - 11*0.1) which is -10.

The N systems case equation has to be wrong. I think you need either 1/(1-p)^n or 1/(1-p^n)

Is the author forgetting a baby in the bathwater he is throwing out? Especially on coding. He points out that vibe coding is bad, and then concluding that any program written through the use of an AI is bad. For example if you already have

And all employees know of those rights, and all employers freely give them? Personally, I don't believe that at all. I do conceed that, if this were the case, things would be fine.

The bending might be difficult. But the through pieces are easily done by hand on a table saw with a simple jig. Making that fully CnC seems easy.

Tipping percentage migrates up because it is a status game. tipping 'below average' is socially bad. Tipping above the meta is expensive, bit makes you look generous. So the meta shifts over time as more people tip above average t

Yes, for some people the current situation works great. But for plenty of others, the current situation sees them being exploited and payed less than minimum wage. It isnt a rare few either. I'm not okay with a situation where a large

I would wager 80% of places that write software have almost trivial ways to get that 5% improvement. Between ci/cd, static checkers, upgrading IDEs, and just aligning practices between everyone, I think you can easily improve at 50% of

Vibe coding hasn't really hampered my critical thinking. It just means I get ideas into practice faster, and it means that for new concepts I can get to itterating much faster. Perhaps I have the concept wrong, because half the time I&

For plenty of military applications, 90m accuracy is a valuable fallback in a GPS denied environment. It's probably not nice for targetting purposes. But for general orientiering and the question 'are friendlies in this area'

My guess is that they feel they are supplying something the whole world is benefiting from, and they believe that unfair. That ignores the fact that the US benefits immensely from this, and that they benefit domestically from providing that

Perhaps they were just hand-fed to demonstrate accuracy. If instead of PPS it gave a 10Mhz reference, then there is a pretty good use in keeping nearby systems sample-synchronized. In which case you don't care about 'time' ju

Such a tarrif on low wage countries would prevent the exploitation of low wage countries. Because any county could easily 'defeat' the tarrif by setting a minimum wage. It doesn't help raise the people being exploited out of

This makes sense. I think even MAGA might agree if you pitch it as "we use tarrifs to prevent American labor from being undercut. But it is clear that the reasoning here is "I want tarrifs, how do I easily get them". And then

Does that mean you believe there is something beyond the physical realm that gives free will? Otherwise, it seems to me like another physical process should be able to simulate a creature. There is still the general fact that plenty of proc
