> There are many of them on youtube. Not as many as on HN. "Influencers" have agendas and the stream of income, or other self-interest. HN always comes off as a monolith, on any su…

Dark matter is a pseudo-scientific variant of the "God of the gaps". Rather of acknowledging an obvious (default) assumption that the laws of Universe (including all "constants") d…

Every time NVDA/goog/msft tanks, we see these kinds of articles.

Here's a comprehensive review of Turing's argument https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/turing-test/#:~:text=The%... (Spoiler: the issue is subtle :-))

Why did I assume someone has written an essay? Because he said so! Quoting: > I do like his ideas (and I wrote similar things about platonic forms elsewhere) What is dismissive abo…

The ontological status of the equations is still unclear. BTW, if you can provide a link to your own essay, I would be interested :-)

But the equation is a platonic form! Otherwise, you will be introducing a third concept, which is unnecessary b/c it has no advantage over the traditional notion of "platonic form"…

Please read this essay and make your own conclusions. (He rejects physicalism in no uncertain terms). https://thoughtforms.life/platonic-space-where-cognitive-and...

By any chance, have you watched the videos from the recent conference? https://ctr4process.org/conference/metaphysics-and-the-matte...

This podcast will be a shocking experience for anyone who still holds reductionist views on life. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c8iFtaltX-s Michael Levin's channel: https://www.y…

In technology in general, this is a typical state of affairs. No one knows how electric current works, which doesn't stop anyone from using electric devices. In programming... it d…

Please listen to the above pieces once a day (it will take only 4 minutes) for 10 days. Then, while speaking about music, you will sound pretensious to your friends. Please try. (I…

An impressive achievement indeed. That's exactly what one'd expect from LLM. If someone wants to see/hear what real music is, listen to this, just to get a reference point. This wi…

Pursuing AGI? What method do they use to pursue something that no one knows what it is? They will keep saying they are pursuing AGI as long as there's a buyer for their BS.

breakthrough in biology

Very true. But the same applies to teaching. Mathematicians don't know where even to begin - for some of them, it's all too obvious. But the same happens with any subject. Someone …

Not yet, but now I will, just out of curiosity. There's a problem with mathematicians teaching the subject. After all, the youtube lectures were also given by mathematicians. In at…

As a math major, I scored a perfect 100 on my Linear Algebra exam in 1974. However, just two days later, I couldn't recall a single thing. A few years ago, with ample free time, I …

Months? Well, only if you mean 120 months. The guy managed to destroy the best country in the world, leaving it with no foreseeable way back. Maybe joining the US is the only optio…

It's time for "How many programmers does it take to screw in a lightbulb using AI" jokes.

Does the same bullish logic apply to cold fusion?

The hype must go on :)

Java is much worse. You can learn embedded, but it's a different world and doesn't pay much.
