If this article is correct about limitations, couldn't one simply include a Turing machine model into the process to train algorithms? Some ideas: - The vectors are Turing tapes, o…

I've noticed this anecdotally. I could be wrong.

Yes, democratic political culture is a culture of popular, low risk decisions, and stagnation. This limits how far these countries can develop. The problem with assuming China will…

China has more skill to be able to run a larger system than places that only know how to run smaller systems. So they have socio-political governing ideas that work at scale, and t…

Yes, definitely. Pick up the early FRUiTS books by Phaidon for a great, enlivening and colorful overview of 90s street fashion and youth. These images of creativity are what first …

Firstly, tho, the economic success of these three countries is on many fronts a direct result of China's rise, while their own policies have kept them back on some fronts, economic…

you want to engage, but I'm not going to right now. thanks anyway. for serious consideration etc. i realize my comment is a little too extreme even for my own view. i criticize the…

ha. downvotes. a product of a Western liberal republic that doesn't tolerate criticism or dissent, and pretends downvotes are for noise only. i got it. but truly, this "unpopular" …

it's okay. nine_k and i are on "different sides" in view of this. I know nine_k does not want to see it differently. we shall not agree. but for anyone else who comes across this a…

not assuming anything. just looking at the results. from poverty to riches in 70 years, civil harmony and > 1bn people, clearly the proof the party doesn't know what they're doing.…

Actually, that's "not a bug it's a feature (#wontfix)" of democracy. But also democracy's weakness. Democracies can't take deterministic stances for the long term good of their peo…

Yep, it has a big hole.

I currently consider this broken since, turns out that XOR and permutation do not commute over each other, and anyway to get them do so so requires knowledge of the secrets to be t…

This probably has a big hole in it that I missed. But I just feel there must be some way to make a PK cryptosystem using Chinese Remainder Theorem. And I've found it in this one wa…

Sure.....but then I think everyone ought to be able to down vote. Or only the mods. If it's a tool, it's either a tool for all, or a tool only wielded by the ones who define commun…

Oh no I didn't mean it in a retaliatory sense specifically, I meant it like everyone having the option to do it, or no one except the few ( the mods? the ones who have objective st…

Definitely. And I can't downvote back...so I don't like that asymmetry.

Yeah, when you talk and track people's facial expressions in real time, you can see which particular things they disagree with, so you have useful feedback. A down vote is sort of …

I mainly want to see what people are like who are effective but also don't care about being downvoted.

It's a nice community-supporting sentiment but I think the idea that such a powerful tool as a down vote is only used for noble purposes, rather than to condemn and silence dissent…

Underrated comment.

Popular == karmic, on here. So controversial is, you have a high ratio of spectacularly downvoted comments, but you're still popular, in other words, you still have a high amount o…
