This phenomena was also described/characterized in prior Hegelian literature as part of the law of quantitative into qualitative change, though, not formulated mathematically at th…

Read TFA. They got the price from the menu they were comparing to in 2014.

Honestly, not cool. Mine "roasted" me by making fun of the fact I never finished a PhD, despite that being due to medical and other life circumstances that were well outside my con…

I had no idea this was real. Fascinating. I'm curious: anyone plugged into the scene know if it's organic or if it was created as a marketing thing by Microsoft? Obligatory Krazam …

It's an axiom (the axiom of choice, actually). A valid way of viewing an axiom is not dissimilar to a "modeling requirement" or an "if statement". By that I mean, for example with …

I'm not the person you replied to, and I doubt I'm going to convince you out of your very obviously strong opinions, but, to make it clear, you can't even define a continuum withou…

What makes you think you're capable of faithfully representing all aspects of reality?

I'm a researcher in this field. Before I get accused of the streetlight effect, as this article points out: a lot of my research and degree work in the past was actually philosophy…

This article assumes that concepts are somehow precise coordinates within a single language; that's not the case, at best, speakers of a language mutually approximate a relatively …

That's funny, I implemented something similar for my stumpwm config (common lisp window manager). I created a matrix of themes for the WM, emacs, my terminal (kitty), Firefox, and …

Because that's how the rules of the system we exist within operate more generally. We've done similar experiments with more controlled/simple systems and physical processes that sa…

Of course, just doing my part in the collective free energy minimization ;)

As a researcher in these fields: this reasoning is tired, overblown, and just wrong. We have a lot of understanding of how the brain works overall. You don't. Go read the active in…

That'd be pretty easy to throw into an optimizer. For each configuration, you could calculate the "fitness" by just sampling the anamorphic rendering at various angles and do pixel…

Principle seems to be the modern equivalent term to the concept that used to be represented by the word "law," in this context. I've also seen them used interchangeably on various …

Measurability is essentially a synonym for meaningful interaction at some measurement scale. When describing fundamental measurability limits, you're essentially describing what cu…

I like the point raised by the author here about the power of elisp in the shell. For context, I've used emacs for well over a decade and write a good bit of elisp most weeks. Howe…

Thanks for that, looked it up and was a interesting rabbit hole: Basically, that oath was Oxford University saying "fuck you" to a request of the King (1200s England) officially af…

Not the parent, but, it's kinda obvious in even degenerate logic cases: # user what's 78904 + 34567282902 # Gemma 2.5 pro Identify the core task: The user wants to add two numbers:…

I'm not an expert on the actual biological mechanisms, but, it makes intuitive sense to me that both of those effects would occur in the situation you described from simple cells w…

Yeah, more or less. A risk assessment for the study is done and submitted and there's many more layers of beurocracy (both the good human-protective kind and the less-good regulato…

I do AI/ML research for a living (my degrees were in theoretical CS and AI/ML and my [unfinished] phD work was in computational creativity [essentially AGI]). I also do SRE work as…

The proposed solution misses the fact that you can't even derive that the liar has a hat because the subject of the predicate could be the lie. What if the liar had two green cars …

Really nice! I'd really like to see more than one todo list option on the main page, personally, so I can get my entire task list (or at least a large number of tasks) shown to me …
