To be fair, the portion of the tariffs passed on to the consumer is a regressive tax. The portion of the tariff that is covered by the American companies is more complicated and pr…

It would probably look suspiciously like Linux.

I just tried. Claude did exactly what you said, and then figured it out: Central Park in New York City is bigger than GoldenGate Park (which I think you might mean Golden Gate Park…

If you are a new company starting out (suppose aluminum siding), you have to market your product or else nobody will know about it. I'm not sure what all parts of marketing are cou…

Trump said he wanted peace, but I think he really wanted an end for the sanctions, probably to help with his goal of lowering the price of oil. I don’t think he cares at all about …

I am of the view that the chance of life in a single universe is vanishingly small. Fortunately, there can be many, many universes, or many, many effective universes. I googled the…

I suspect when Susskind was talking about ideas away from the consensus _usually_ being suspect, he was talking about what the general public or non-practitioners should think abou…

Gravity is similar to an electric field here. A wave function for a field consists of an amplitude for each field configuration, where a “field configuration” refers to a value for…

I saw an LLM having this kind of problem when I was doing some testing a ways back. I asked it to order three fruits from largest to smallest. I think it was orange, blueberry and …

It looks like they measured the time of the process where the entanglement occurred, not a time of entanglement itself. I guess they can use this to put an upper bound on the time …

I did study quantum field theory and I have a hard time viewing a fermion as a continuous field, whereas a gauge field I do view as a continuous field. I view a fermion as a true p…

I have another definition, or at least this is how I think of it. I’m not sure many people would buy into it. In the standard model, the fermions are particles, like the electrons,…

I agree with you. I think the place to start would be with the ingredient list. I think they would say to avoid things that don't sound like food. I think chemicals are the real da…

I seem to have noticed a marked increase in the number of people in public listening to music with no headphones over the past several years, as in going from essentially 0 to it n…

My statisitcs are a little rusty, so I might be off here. Someone correct me if I have this wrong. R^2 = 1 would be every voter in one state votes blue and every voter in the other…

I think you right. Oddly, celebrating food will keep you from getting fat, as the alternative is putting crap in your body.

What country do you say you are from, Kingdom of Normway? Federal Republic of Germany? Peoples Republic of China? Commonwealth of Australia?

I am assuming YC will be lobbying on their own interests, which, at least for typical VCs is getting some of their small companies to go big, rather than promoting success among al…

One option for doing this is to incrementally build up the "document" using isolated prompts for each section. I say document because I am not exactly sure what the character sheet…

It’s not really a wave, it is more of a tide that comes in quickly. So everything gets flooded to 3m above the normal water level, and stays that way for a while.

I think one reason for a change in music could be the "downfall" of record labels as a big driver in the music industry. You can blame them for taking a big cut away from the artis…

In a "grand unified theory" (which does not include gravity) the strong, electromagnetic and weak forces are unified into one gague theory. SU(5) is one choice. In these theories, …

I think this is a rule in Europe but I am not aware of this being a rule in the US.

I had to replace my refrigerator recently after 12 years. I thought refrigerators were supposed to last forever, like the 1940 one, but it turns out mine had a design life of only …

I have thoughts about that, but IANAN (nutritionalist). Not all energy is the same, as in fructose (in sucrose, which we sense as sweeter) versus glucose (what composes carbs, and …
