You point out the "is a" relationship, not the "is" relationship, they are different. [0] Find examples with two singular nouns and just the word 'is'. The phrase in question: 'Math is language' is an

You're saying that "Math" and "Language" are 'sets'? And that the phrase "Math is Language" should be interpreted as expressing the relationship between sets? If we do want to talk sets, that see

The proposition was "A = B" (logical equals, A and B are entities) The simple refutation was: because B != A, therefore A != B That WAS the math exam!! No group or set theory needed. It's simple and this is not interesting.

The word "is", maps to the logical "equals" operator. I agree with the example, but I don't agree it is relevant. There is no implies operator. The statement "Math is Language", where A is Math and B is La

The word "is", typically refers to the logical equals operator (written as "="). Let A = Math, and let B = Language, the phrase "Math is Language" is therefore "A = B". My claim is that "B != A

Math major here. 'is' is a reflexive relationship. If math is language, therefore language is math. I believe clearly language is not math, therefore math is not language. Math is described with language, Math itself is not langua

Sounds like sampling bias TBH. The 'far-left' and the 'twitter-left' (or the tik-tok left) are not all quite the same thing either. I don't think you can draw much conclusions about people outside of a platform base

We might be talking past each other. I'm curious why you see such a strong distinction between ORM and active record. To that extent, do you have any references or links that explain Active Record as you understand it? I'm familia

I don't think I agree. I'm trying to point out the 'expert-beginner' problem. We don't realize how much is involved in human intelligence. To the extent we think it is easy, that AGI will be here in a couple years.

How can we reconcile this with how much of the US and world are still living as if it were the 1930s or even 1850s? Travel 75 to 150 miles outside of a US city and it will feel like time travel. If so much is still 100 years behind, how wil

Why not - IMO you perhaps underestimate human complexity. There was a guardian article where researchers created a map of a mouse's brain, 1 cubic millimeter. Contains 45km worth of neurons and billions of synapses. IMO the AGI crowd a

First, for definitions, I'd suggest we use wikipedia for ORM [1] and also Active Record Pattern [2]. I believe Active Record is a more specific implementation of something that is ORM-like. We can stop speaking of Active Record since m

A DB query without ORM is effectively a service. This hides relations in the DB layer, rendering moot the need to model these relations in object oriented code. Thus, eschewing the ORM completely moots the question of whether to map objects

Junk science. Some people get enough creatine already in their diets. Some people respond to creatine, others do not. Creatine response is also a function of age. The cohorts should have had their creatine levels measured, broken up by age,
