My intuition was that if a proof for P = NP exists, it would be incomparable to the kind of Pi example you provide- Pi is defined as an irrational ratio, so the existence of whether x digit of Pi exists. It would instead be like saying, &#x

Can you really separate the two? For something like NP-completeness, I'm having trouble conceptualizing how a proof for existence would not require demonstration.

I've heard these same talking points for the past eight years.

It's the assumption of Capitalism that markets are the most fair pricing mechanism. I'd love to see that proven untrue

I read GP as speaking about ChatGPTs successors. Unless you privelege human consciousness beyond reason, we should be talking about AI rights.

The market is pricing in future growth. You can say the market is incorrectly evaluating the potential return, but it's hard to argue that Tesla and SpaceX aren't going to cash in on that potential. How else should the market be t

I'm familiar with the historical context of apophatic theology, particularly Spinoza, but haven't seen your description before. Is this from a particular source, or how are you defining 'clearing' and 'unreal'?

Where's your scientific evidence it didn't help? You've run experiments and collected data? This kind of base anti-theism is counterproductive and ultimately meaningless.

I'm not familiar with any country that mandated or adequately supplies n95s to their citizens. There's a the question of whether masks can be effective (even without a study, common sense says they are against a respiratory virus)

It's a return, that's the most galling part. It's a great game, but it's not revolutionary or genre defining. The best part about bg3 is the things it's missing: - no rmt - doesn't require online connection - n

There's also little if any evidence masks were effective at stopping spread. Maybe in idealized conditions, but the mandated use likely did nothing.

It's insane to see the level of malice directed at Passage and say anything being done to him is justified. I can only see the mottled opinion of him here as the effect of successful smearing.

You're responding to your own argument here, not mine. I'm saying the next generation of artists will be blessed with tools that greatly expand their capabilities. Arguing otherwise, is like saying Photoshop, or VFX, did nothing t

Hasn't the gird for war call gone out before? They must be 20-30 girds deep by now, just with this Kim. That's way too many girds. Think of the chaffing.

Thank you. As a user only, 2FA at works sucks. I get locked out multiple times a day, I have to constantly have my phone on me, and I have had a few days where I can't get in for funky reasons, and now the service provider is forbidden

Strong agree. I started writing a comic series in 2016, but had to stop in part because commissioning the art was prohibitively expensive. AI image generation is quickly erasing that ability gap. Most publically consumed art is made by larg

I said nothing about biodiversity, only the presence of life in general.

The preceding view is just as silly. Humanity doesn't destroy local life, we become local life. Saying "leave nature alone" when humans are nature personified... its so self defeating.

Of course, someone who has been successfully manipulated would also think they've escaped manipulation. Isn't that the scariest part

I love this perspective but think it needs to be taken all the way. Are you comfortable saying corporations are alive? Stars? The universe? Once that floodgate of 'aliveness' is open, I don't see that it stops flowing, up and

It's one of the better definitions I've heard. It meshes very well with Georges Batailles theory of sacrificial excess- you give up to the gods the best because it allows them structure, and thereby allows them to provide future

Fascinating, I'd never heard of this belief in an iron heavens. Very interesting that the biblical Daniel foretells an empire of iron as the last empire to follow Nebuchadnezzar's. Would Daniels original audience have read this as

Personal and dictated readings are very different experiences. What you describe is the self help version of tarot. Maybe most common, but not exhaustive of the medium. Practitioners know/Intuit that the typical major and minor arcana

This would seem to apply to health outcomes being cited in the thread as well. Yes, if we shut down all hospitals tomorrow, less people would die in the short term. Presumably that affect diminishes and reverses relatively soon.

Isn't this typical tech development? Gain monopoly through free offerings and then squeeze the segment for max profit

Is it 'figured out' or is cooperation an emergent principle in democratically free societies? Many factors involved, but these kinds of society level observations are better ascribed to political bodies, rather than physical minds

How is an unavoidable, if arbitrary, causality any different than determinism? That passage supports determinism, any never even argues for a free will, random or otherwise.
178.
by wddkcs 3y ago
Determinism is not typically seen as self defeating either, but your definition seems to ignore that. I cannot imagine a 'free will' that is not founded on randomness, but that may be a personal limit.

This could be changing, ai translation knocking down communication barriers.

Determinism is observable on a micro scale- I can tell someone to do something and they do it, or I could predict someones behavior relatively exactly, or I could even control their behavior directly. How then is determinism not translateab
