All that bloodline stuff is real, but it’s a pretty small fraction of the population. Most people’s experience of class difference in the UK is economic, not hereditary (I think).

Your layman’s answer still doesn’t quite do it for me - if you had two masses in space, joined together by a wire, and you span them around their combined centre of mass, angular m…

“The argument is inescapable: Studies that are underpowered for the detection of plausible effects must occasionally return non-significant results even when the research hypothesi…

That seems to be the author’s intent - to explain why we are having the discussion, rather than dismissing the cause as mere hysteria.

The claim wasn’t that there was an increase in control beyond that which you acknowledge (improved granularity) - it was about how that new power will be used. It could be used to …

The sources I looked at (e.g. [0]) suggest a maximum temperature of 91 F with a humidity of maybe 72 %, equating to a wet bulb of 28.51 C [1]. Are you sure about those temperatures…

According to [0] there are more than 3.5 million births per year, so a bit more than 100 million since 1990. 1.5% isn’t insignificant, but I wouldn’t call it huge. [0] https://www.…

I think you’re probably broadly right, because containers won’t be very useful, but in different circumstances things can be more complex than “a couple tiny shrimp and sightless f…

I find your exposition difficult to follow, perhaps you could write out your proposed solution without the accompanying explanatory text, so that we can clearly see how it resolves…

You are conflating the quantity A, which is a label for the (unknown in the original formulation) amount in the chosen envelope, with the "smaller amount" - labelled x in the wikip…

In the variant under discussion A is defined as 60: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31574239

Inserting A=60 into the original line of reasoning (just to show that it doesn't immediately resolve the paradox): 1. Denote by A=60 the amount in the player's selected envelope. 2…

> If you make tangential observations the conversation may move tangentially. You (presumably) have agency, and could have chosen to answer the main question rather than labouring …

I didn't suggest that angular velocity is the same as linear velocity, I asked how you were interpreting the area and velocity, and parenthetically observed that the angular veloci…

In what way are you trying to interpret the area, or indeed the velocity (indeed the angular velocity is constant)? As I understand it, the intent of the visualisation is simply to…

Goods getting cheaper broadly means that supply is going up relative to demand - we call this deflation. If the supply of money goes up relative to demand then we call that inflati…

How do you use it, out of interest?

> In the symbolic regression approach, the solution would be limited by the number of different observable variables available to train the model on. What do you mean here? Aren't …

Even if you believe that: 1. the wealth of such people corresponds solely to an increase in the pool of available wealth (as opposed to just redistribution from other people), and …

One method is to drop variables with small coefficients in the top n principal components. This is feature selection, by your definition.

You are begging the question. If you start with the assumption that distribution must be organised solely by monetary exchange then of course any kind of collectivisation is going …

This assumes a lot about the underlying process, particularly independence. Whilst assuming independence might hold reasonably well for low numbers of samples, the assumption might…

From the “see also” on that page, this looks pretty incredible (to my untrained eye): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Williams_X-Jet
