Yep. I have -blessedly?- no Twitter account. And I distrust the purge arguments... Actually believe that such an inheritance spread scheme could advantageously replace a bunch of welfare programs. It is both non punitive, equalitarian, by i

Another good idea, IMHO, is a thresholded 100% tax (e.g, after 2M per heir, excluding main résidence), everything is put in a sovereign fund. Basically the same effect, but doesn't touch smaller inheritances and family house.

Just wanted to add as an additional wrinkle in the simple ecomnomic explanations : a lot of the "discovering drugs" part -still necessary before you can actually sell drugs, afaik-, hinges very much on having really good researche

there is no OR gates in biology, only mutable distributions. the probability might be small for the two traits to appear, the overlap will occur with some frequency over billions of people. Also, and more importantly, the first condition is

One good way of staying to a prudent course / halting haphazard - winner takes all progress is to use social tech for it. In particular, there is an interesting possibility: the top researchers who drive the AI scenario all kind of kno

I think there's a difference between the concept of journalism and content creation / copywriting. Both come from the same school programs in a way, but while the latter is pretty trivially replaced by AI, the former is a combinat

Add a /s so nobody's confused. That's inclusivity!

That is just false. The gatekeepers of this data see a new algorithm, get excited, try it, test it against the aforementioned model, and then keep the old model because it's just better /s. Real talk now, I'm an "AI pers

Love it, subscribed! some thoughts: - people are harping on bias, but I think they miss the point. Use the tool, get the tool result, and let god sort them out. - Multilingual sources are core to the value proposition. Make it a community l

for fortran, the intel one (ifort) generally produces much faster binaries. The NAG compiler is known for having great warnings / quality control and pushes you to write better code. Both are available for windows compilation. I do not

I seem to remember (don't have the source anymore, if someone can find it again I'd be grateful) that half of the total fuel produced worldwide is used to litterally take the other 50% to where it's needed. Delocalization of
