Presumes you can distinguish the heavy users. If you knew who the heavy users were, you could just block them.

I presume OSM has already considered this and ruled it out (probably because the map should be dynamic)

An optimistic outcome would be that public content becomes fully peer-to-peer. If you want to download an article, you must seed at least the same amount of bandwidth to serve another copy. You still have to deal with leechers, I guess.

This would already be happening if we could track them.

I don't think I understand your objection. Would you prefer it if they said "cars have computers"?

I hope the applicant is on some kind of blacklist now. It's borderline fraudulent to have AI write your job application.

I'm not sure why you think there will be a clear answer, since communism is not a word with a clear definition. It means many things to many people. It's no different to "capitalist" in this respect (and you often see li

It is easier to have a productive conversation if you actually address the points being argued, rather than dismiss them out of hand with no justification.

It is not a non sequitur! You called them "authoritarian central planners". Am I supposed to think you consider "authoritarian central planners" a totally neutral phrase with no connotations? It's telling you mentio

It's not authoritarian to outlaw unjust systems of power. I'm sure slave owners considered the US "authoritarian central planners" when they outlawed slavery. Doesn't make it wrong.

Mentioning Cuba as a failed example while omitting that they have been embargoed by the biggest economy in the world for over 60 years seems willfully dishonest.

Why do you think that prioritising worker happiness would lead to refusing to excise unproductive divisions? Do you think people like working for a company that doesn't do anything?

By definition, the average person consumes as much as they produce. Generally speaking, the poorer someone is, the more they produce relative to what they consume. Making life better for producers improves the lot of the poor; making life b

Are the symbols assumed to be compact? I guess their closures obviously are, and the closure of a symbol should be indistinguishable from the symbol.

surely firefox is the more interesting example, since they have orders of magnitude less alternative revenue?

Yes, sorry, should have been more clear: I claim google is in a monopoly position, not reddit. The rest of the comment is unrelated ranting about reddit's betrayal of their previously-held "public data is public" position.

Hopefully this paves the way for antitrust action, but I won't hold my breath. Reddit's justification for this is profoundly wrong. Their "public content policy" is absurd doublespeak, and counter to everything the open

Turing actually addressed this in his argument! > If these sets are restricted to be measurable measurable sets are not Banach-Tarski-able :)

Yes and yes, but conditional compactness is different, and Cauchy sequences are not always convergent. That's why I mentioned completeness.

Who said this had anything to do with cognition at all? I think Turing's argument goes through with humans replaced by automata and eyes by cameras. It's just that perception has finite resolution.

Approximating an arbitrary shape by covering it with tiny squares is not exactly new. The method of exhaustion goes back to 200BC.

Turing's argument says "conditionally compact" but the article talks only about "compact". They are not the same; "conditionally compact" means every sequence has a Cauchy subsequence, while (sequentially)

For the same reason any accumulation of capital allows bad ideas to hang around. You can operate at a temporary loss to weed out new competitors, you can intimidate newcomers with frivolous legal action, you can leverage network effects, yo

For the freedom to change to be effective, a user must be given the software in a form they can modify. Can you tweak an LLM once it's built? (I genuinely don't know the answer)

I have a blog that I consider permanently unfinished. Being (still) too embarrassed to share it is a pretty good motivator for adding things, and it's nice to have something you can be a perfectionist about without feeling guilty. Form
