AIUI: my intuition is Alex and Alice are points in the distribution. They don’t think about their experience in terms of population statistics. They see their individual latency ti…

First word of second sentence: > Stability ie: lack of volatility, ie: integrity, ie: I know it does what it says and don’t have to second guess that.

If we can just simulate the business accurately enough we can solve having to interact with the market… which is also trying to solve interacting with us… We just need to do it mor…

That’s not real math though, that’s a quirk of floating point math.

That’s possible, I suppose. I think @btbuildem was expressing a personal distaste for other uses of power, and an avulsion to the technology because of that. For example: labor cam…

Iiuc it wasn’t a comment about what the perfect lifespan is. It’s expressing a concern about how people in power might apply life extending technologies, like they do many other te…

Probably worth clarifying with GP what responsibility and accountability they’re referring to. Where I live, if an engineer signs off on a bridge design and the bridge personally c…
