The EU needs China. No green deal without Chinese batteries, solar cells and rare earth metals.

And then then the different kinds of the latter: angelic (locally or globally) and demonic.

So does the 74181 ALU.

In early 1995 I ran Windows 95 release candidate 1. I got it on CD-R from a friend. I had to spend my savings on extra RAM in order to get it running. For a brief period of time I …

Many of the later MSX models had a disk drive built in and came with MSX DOS. I was running MSX DOS on a Philips VG8235. I remember playing around with CP/M software such as Turbo …

> For example, in Bayesian logic: x AND y is xy, x OR y is x + y - xy No it isn't. P(x AND y) = P(x)P(y) only in the special case where x and y are independent. Unlike fuzzy logic,…

In addition to the other replies here, one fundamental difference between probabilistic and fuzzy logic is that fuzzy logic is truth functional and probabilistic logic isn't. Truth…

> P.S.: I only have 1 spot left in 2021 for personalized evidence-based recommendations. Yeah right :)

Can you given an example of a bias that is correct?

This study was discussed in the article.

ThemePark Corona edition.

Ranks represent subjective degrees of belief but they do not, like subjective probabilities, nicely map to relative frequencies. So compared to probabilities, ranks are indeed limi…

Author of this work here (and a bit surprised to find this on hacker news). I don't disagree with your point about probability. However, there are various alternatives to probabili…

> I also wrote code for a Z8000[0] in the 80's which is quite different. The Z80000 seems to have been a very obscure microprocessor. Even more so than the Z8000. What was the Z800…

The TMS9918 is as simple as it is beautiful. A couple of years ago I wrote an MSX emulator in Java for fun. A pretty accurate TMS9918 emulator took just a couple of hours to write …

Wouldn't count on it. Most people want to fly as cheaply as possible, also after corona. So airliners will keep on maximising seats per plane. Moreover, decreasing seats per plane …

This seems to be one of those things where the arguments pro and con have already been so endlessly hashed out that it’s simply become a matter of choice which camp you’re in.

Not sure we’re talking about the same thing here. I was replying to your claim that nothing in philosophy (apart from mathematics) can be formalized. The role of logic is not to so…

> It turns out you can't formalize anything that doesn't have proofs -- in other words, it basically only works for what we'd call "mathematics" or "pure logic". You can't formaliz…

There has actually been quite some work since the 50ies up to the present day on deontic logic, which is reasoning about ethical concepts such as obligation and permission.

> How is "you are the product" incorrect? I think the point is not that this statement is incorrect, but rather that it doesn’t accurately convey the severity of the situation. Mor…

I go one step further and simply ignore any n=1 report about matters like these that I read through internet. The insight that "false news travels faster than true stories" applies…
