Well, that's not really what I mean. Obviously they had some concept of communicating music, somewhat standardized instruments, etc. Pythagoras didn't phrase his teachings using algebraic symbols either. I suppose what I mean is t

I wouldn't know anything about that. My point is that this is a completely ridiculous statement: > But shovels are our gods (don't believe? E.g. shovels cannot die from natural causes). They don't need puny humans. They ne

Call it "Labor Theory of Value" or whatever you want. Just explain why it's more "delusional" to believe that money can't work, than to believe it can? At least me, I haven't seen any paper bills walking a

> One can have intuition but not be able to “read math” - much as many musicians don’t “read music”. Is it really that common for musicians to not be able to read music? I'm not a musician so I wouldn't know, but it seems far-f

Alright sorry if I was unclear. I wasn't saying that you specifically claimed companies are evil. But there is a general sentiment / understanding that companies are (being used as a tool for) doing evil things in general. I suppo

Look dude, I'm complaining about the usage of "making money from assets". It's just a plainly false statement. Assets can't make money for Musk, people can. Musk isn't generating any value for society, he'

Effective at improving the planet? Living their own lives better? Or generating profit for him? I'm sure the plantation owners of the american south had effective workers as well...

Companies are nothing other than the tool of rich people used to control normal people. There's some sort of mass delusion that "companies" are evil. Guess what, a company has no own agency to destroy the environment, exploit

Fair enough, cover letters and contract proposals are more marketing than actual information, so that's fair game I suppose. Good trick. I wouldn't use it in something meant to transmit actual information though, like a manual or

PLEASE just stop complaining about "moving the goalposts" when the issue is your own lack of clarity of both expression and reasoning. WHAT is the distinction between "simulate" and "predict"? You said neither

Sorry if this comes off as critical, but are you seriously doing that? I can't imagine optimizing my writing for people choosing to mangle it through a LLM rather than for the people reading it as-is. Also the word "verbiage"

Let me illustrate with an example. Are you familiar with with the Collatz conjecture? It's an example of a system with only one variable, and two simple rules. Are you certain that there exists a computer program that in finite time ca

Funny that you imagine a future where AI can solve complex math quickly, but humans are still watching ads, for some reason. I just think you and the other guy have different definitions of "smart". There's no denying that LL

> if humans (or any intelligent physical entity) are at most Turing-complete This is a bit of a strange assumption to make. I do agree that a human, if it had infinite memory, would be an universal machine, i.e. capable of computing any

> Computation and computability is "the final frontier". Math is a "subset" of that. In what sense? BB(n) is a prime example of an object that can be mathematically defined, yet is not computable. Or see BBB(n) for an

I don't know about "crimes against humanity", seems to diminish a bunch of actual crimes against humanity. And Microsoft is one to complain! Talk about a glass house. Just checking the annual report for 2025, the median emplo

GP didn't claim it was fixed, only that the creation of more money brings inflation. Which is a pretty basic fact. > Total prosperity of world has increased inflation adjusted over 100 years. Why? Clearly, because people have worked

That is a nonsensical definition of random. If I roll a dice it's random, but if I write down the result it's not? Arbitrary is also quite different from random. Bad passwords are arbitrary, good passwords are random. If you ask a

Your comment is pretty meaningless because you're just repeating the exact same "it's not a fixed pie", which I already replied to. Just read my above comment one more time, consider it a reply to your statement, and see

Can you explain what economic value actually is, in your view? I think I gave a fairly good explanation of my viewpoint, your reply doesn't add anything as I never claimed anything remotely similar to that "economic value is a phy

Technology is human effort in the form of innovation. Technology does not grow from the earth, people create it (often using up our finite resources in order to do so). Bill Gates isn't rich because "technology" made him rich

It's a very stupid thing to say though, it's like Trump's promise to reduce drug prices by 1000%. I guess that was also just a figure of speech.

Well, it is. Thermodynamics. Earth is pretty much a closed system, except for the sun. So for example if you invest $100 in a farm and get a return of 10%, where does that come from? The nutrients in the soil, the effort expended by the wor

Quadruple? Depends on how you're counting I suppose. The problem with using flight mode is that the phone then becomes useless at its job as a phone, i.e. a device that other people can use to call you.

So what do you want to change, actually? My point is that the waterproof phones I've owned hasn't been hard to repair, because heating a phone to remove some glue, is not hard. The point is that the waterproofing glue, for me, is

Seems like we very quickly went from "there are tradeoffs" to "modular phones are objectively the best in all aspects". So, where's your proof of that claim? In my experience (as stated above) it's not the case
