This is a capitalist view of value, but it has flaws in relation to art. The problem is that art does not exist in a vacuum. To get at the real value of art, something that is not a necessity, you would need to somehow query every individua

Modern capitalism is effectively local optimization. Academic research doesn't follow that same flow, so to claim capitalism is responsible for academic progress is an interesting claim.

"Metaphysical realism is the thesis that the objects, properties and relations the world contains, collectively: the structure of the world [Sider 2011], exists independently of our thoughts about it or our perceptions of it." Thi

Can you, metaphysically, define nothing? I ask because I wager you can't, and I am highly suspect that metaphysics has philosophical value.

There is an exceptional difference you left out. In criminal situations, the criminal is punished, there is a deterrent. What is the deterrent here? Without a deterrent, there is a moral failure.

I think you're right on the money, continuous storage of long term memory + cognitive feedback of those memories _is_ consciousness in my book. We already know that decisions can happen before your conscious mind is aware, that's

Have any of the ebooks included any serious math? I see that MathML is the expectation, but I wonder if the rules around the math aren't just ignored because of the rest of the culture around which books are selected and worked on. Ind

Performance cannot be evaluated in a vacuum, and likely has as much to do with your environment as it does your experience and talent. A _high_ performance company, if such a tech company even exists, would do everything in their power not

Velocity is an unavoidable metric, you can count lines added and deleted, tickets moved to done, commits added, it doesn't matter these are all proxies for velocity.

And what would you have anyone do? You could formally spec software and implement it, congrats you're now 1000x slower to market and any change you want to make is another 1000x investment to spec out and prove. And let's not even

The fact that you haven't included any examples makes the mind wonder

But there is a strong benefit to adding quotation: higher-order programming becomes explicit, and you can restrict it to prevent the need for garbage collectors. "Linear-style" programming becomes obvious to implement in a point-f

Most if not all concatenative languages are linear. Lisps can also be linear, and languages like Forth can also be non-linear, but there is a cultural divide there.

It's an important life lesson for anyone to learn that money is not success. An artist who makes enough to live but doesn't produce works of art specifically to make money is a success. They have many things to teach you about you

Actually trying to write a parser with this was something else for me, the kinds of types i was looking at seemed impenetrable. It looks very nice, but usability, at least for me, made me wash my hands and just roll my own parser. I've

There is a perfectly good mathematics-research-level question that was review resistant for a long time: the fabled solution to the ABC Conjecture, and that is still a controversial topic since the author still claims his work is, in fact,

Right, instead it's just Christian Fundamentalism, not like the U.S. doesn't have a problem with that

Except for all those constitutional rights... Freedom of religion being one, and their are at least two recognized religions where abortion is a religious right. So there you go, freedom for Christian's not for anyone else, a good Chri

No I think it was a cognitive bias, why are you importing blame? People who so vehemently defend calling something a blacklist instead of a blocklist are very suspicious to me. Similar energy to defending calling a woman female.

That's funny! Because I _never_ hear anyone call it a black limo, or a black tux, though they are usually black, they are not referred to as black.

It's not gaslighting at all, the point is that the origin of the name comes from culture not from description. Without the culture backing up the name it would be random, you're getting your order of operations wrong.

I think calling it gibberish is a misnomer, it would be gibberish if inconsistent, but if the same strings of characters lead to the same semantic objects then that is not gibberish.

Funny, also in my thirties, I view almost-everyone as almost-always rational. The issue is instead in the analysis, which leaves out externalities or associated risks that the "specification of rationality" doesn't take into

Thinking in this way has always been very toxic. Some professors think this way and will accidentally state how PhD students are overpaid and underworked... Any sane analysis would note that PhDs are valid added to society, we want PhDs, an

Maybe a set of rocks that have faces by coincidence is not art, but once an artist arranges them into a nativity scene? That is art, yet the simple arrangement of rocks could have happened without the artist, so art is really about intentio

It could be as simple as the relative change is one people aren't yet used to. If you grow up in 100 degree weather your whole life you get used to it. Probably there is some delta of time where we would adapt to any change in temp, bu
