Even if it does, it will end up looking more like a mathematical proof with exact definitions, sub-definitions and the equivalent of "lemmas" and such. Or maybe it will like current laws & regulations, legal code, maybe someth

I'm starting to notice the opposite of price inflation - I see more and more sales and bogo or buy-2-get-4 shenanigans. Brands trying to get consumers to buy certain products again without actually lowering the sticker price, probably

I don't know if the ~$20 HDMI USB capture cards work on a raspberry pi, but connecting one to a pi or laptop and capturing the signal to a v4l stream, overlaying in software and then outputting on built-in HDMI out might work?

Or the payer of support finds ways to "hide" income or they put in less effort and earn less knowing that some of it goes towards child/spousal support.

I've found that with housing, prices are often set "at the margins". If even one landlord is asking $4k for an 800sqft 2BR, it might sit unrented for a while but other landlords will notice and nudge their prices of similar u

Imo our reflexes differ based on context. But I'm not sure if it's the reflexive system chosing one of N options that are always available or the planner that "activates" just a few options based on the current context.

A maybe, maybe not, less sketchy alternative could be a Nanote P8 from Japan. They were released in 2021 and can be bought for $200-$230 new and shipped from Japan on ebay. The downsides are the much slower Intel 4200 CPU and less, slower R

A quick search turns up energy per capita has been 300-350m btu pa since 1970 [2] while inflation adjusted per capita GDP tripled in that period [1]. One can argue over the definition of real gdp vs inflation adjusted gdp but the 3x increas
