R is basicially a function from rationals to algorithms computing irrationals. L_R is decidable by a master algorithm running every y of x#y, e.g. 3.14#<y_pi> runs y_pi(|3.14|), so y runs up to 2 decimals. The master algorithm runs y(

OP here. Yeah, it's definitely about "culture". What I've been trying to express with usage of "God" is how primitive societies, lacking law enforcing institutions etc, tried to instil order through fear of pun

OP here. You're absolutely right. Thank you. I'm reworking the essay. As I wrote in my top-level comment, what I really want to talk about is > Is there a canonical parametrization of all social groups that describes their cult

OP here. I'm reworking the essay quite a bit, e.g. removing the vector space stuff, and the clumsy usage of the word "God". I've been thinking about these things for so long while not really discussing it with anyone, so

As an aside, I think YouTube Music is superior to Spotify in terms of music catalog. You get "everything on Spotify" (high quality audio) plus the YouTube videos (eg mixes that are put up) in a battery-friendy player (possibility

The derivative of 1 with respect to x is zero, since the derivative of any constant function is zero. So you must be saying that the derivative of 1/f(x) with respect to x is zero for any f(x), where f is a differentiable function, wit

The answer to this question is answered in the FA. Leibiz notation is confusing except in the most simple cases. For example: > Isn't fractional form useful, for example solving differential equation y = dy/dx => dy/y =

What is special with the server? I was surprised you offered a community-hosted server. An OpenAPI spec should be enough, right?

What is the difference in inner dialogue in happy vs unhappy people? I guess the inner voice is what one strives to just observe and let be while meditating. After a good meditation session I feel less mentally tense (eg not clinging on to

Therapy helps in overcoming pretentiousness, no doubt. This is an emotional problem, feelings of worthlessness, attaching one's sense of identity to how smart one is etc. It's a big problem, especially among people with no life (f

No, I'm saying that caring about VI vs Emacs is nothing else than high brow gatekeeping/in-group signaling.

Tangent: I've been programming for many years, and the old VI vs Emacs inside-marker/debate about which one "real" programmers use has been a constant for the entire duration. (Because it is only one of those two. Any ot

I cannot give you a specific gene but I think my point still holds. Why would machines be interested in rivalry over resources or territory? Like a pond of water? Or women? We can easily see why animals and humans are though.

My point is: Humans are status-seeking actors acting in our self-interest. It's literally in our genes. AI doesn't have this evolutionary baggage. I'm certain AI could impeccably destroy humans. But why would it? On the con

Can someone explain to me why AI could potentially destroy to humans? What is the scenario(s) people are thinking about? Unlike another big question such as whether God exists, we ought to be able to reason our way to the answer here. Since

Congrats on your project! I am also pursuing a dream of mine: standup comedy. I believe strongly in the same thing: it's better to work on something you're passionate about and possibly fail than just continue doing non-engaging w
