> Being snarky doesn't really help your position. Pity. I laid great hopes on that particular phrase.

> I don't know what you really mean by "cancelling" It surprises me, that you don't know. But if you wanted to know you'd ask LLM, not me, right? So I'd rather spare myself from ex…

I don't see why it may fail to integrate. Declare Pin as !Move and... thats all? I mean, there will be issues, edge-cases because it is just how these things happen, but still I do…

Wow, thank you. I'd love to learn what others are capable to come up with starting with these premises.

Hmm... The Reality changed itself when guys in Siberia changed the sensor? Some years ago I was playing with the idea that the Reality might invent new laws when people look for th…

I believe it is a Lisp related story, not some general truth. I mean, if I had a hashtable that needs to be mutated asynchronously, I'd probably create a single writer to it. Some …

> This resolved the most basic liar paradox, but not every diagonal attack, since not all functions on [0, 1] have fixed points. To make this work in general, we can for example al…

No one forced them to become gynecologists.

It is a temporary solution. Events of these kind tend to escalate up to a obligatory VPN for just using Internet, and beyond that to VPNs that resist blocking, like amnezia-wg, xra…

Science give us knowledge rooted in hard evidence, science give us models that can be reused as is or used to refine other models. The article mentions how hard it is to monitor at…

There is a general wisdom: if you invoke "the ends justify the means" you have crossed the border to the Dark Side. I'm not going to explain my full understanding of this piece of …
