In the EU there is already a similar system because, in the parliament, the number of MEPs is not really proportional to the population (Germany has 84,48 million inhabitants and 96 MEPs, so 1 every 880,000 people, while Malta has 553,000 p

Ok yes maybe "easy" isn't exactly the correct term, but the way to appoint electors in each state doesn't need a 2/3 majority in every house + 3/4 of the states as it happens with Constitutional amendaments. So

Yours is a very good point of view actually. I initially hadn't thought about the tragedy of the commons situation where all the states agree to implement it and later one state decides to go back to winner take all system. big-green-m

As stated in other comments, it would be actually easy to implement as it doesn't require a change in the constitution. Anyway, as I told in another comment, I'm not from the US, so my intention wasn't really to say how to im

Yes, it's easier to show with an example. - California has 38,940,231 inhabitants and 54 electors. That means 1 elector every 721,115 inhabitants - Oklahoma has 4,053,824 inhabitants and 7 electors, so 1 elector every 579,117 people.

Yeah, spoiler vote brings to 2 parties (like the US). Although the current electoral college doesn't work well, I'm not sure the Americans would prefer to remove it completely and rather use directly popular vote because in the ru

I believe you're right, even if all the states agreed to make a similar change, this "equilibrium" state would be unstable. It would require an amendment to the US constitution to make it stable and that would require a huge

Hello, here is my proposal to improve the Electoral College. The basic idea is to allocate electors proportionally in each state with the Jefferson method (aka d'Hondt method) rather than using a "winner-take-all" system. Wha

Are there any ways to show the source of the information retrieved by the model? For instance, the LLM forms a sentence and it points to a stackoverflow answer with the same or similar content.

Anectodically speaking, it has always been extremely helpful not only reading texts and solving problems/exercises, but also: 1) repeating topics out loud and, if there were some formulas, writing them down while doing that 2) explaini

If you want, I made a similar project in Flutter called "Foldie". It's based on adb, so it requires a cable. https://github.com/FLopriore/foldie

It seems very similar to what we study in "Computer Science and Engineering" in Italy, which is a different degree from "Computer Science". The former is considered engineering, the latter isn't (pretty strange tbh,

Thanks, I already know Python for basic scripts. This tutorial looks awesome to build simple web apps, thanks for sharing. I'm looking forward to studying "Designing Data-Intensive Applications", it truly looks like a gem

> you need to build stuff as much as possible You're absolutely right, that's how you truly learn. I asked for some books to get a more "theoretical" perspective apart from building projects.
