To be fair, the portion of the tariffs passed on to the consumer is a regressive tax. The portion of the tariff that is covered by the American companies is more complicated and probably goes mostly against the wealthy. (Then, of course, th

It would probably look suspiciously like Linux.

I just tried. Claude did exactly what you said, and then figured it out: Central Park in New York City is bigger than GoldenGate Park (which I think you might mean Golden Gate Park) in San Francisco. Central Park covers approximately 843 ac

If you are a new company starting out (suppose aluminum siding), you have to market your product or else nobody will know about it. I'm not sure what all parts of marketing are counted as advertising here, but generally in marketing yo

Trump said he wanted peace, but I think he really wanted an end for the sanctions, probably to help with his goal of lowering the price of oil. I don’t think he cares at all about how things turn out in Ukraine.

I am of the view that the chance of life in a single universe is vanishingly small. Fortunately, there can be many, many universes, or many, many effective universes. I googled the number of stars in the universe and it said 10^23. I am adm

I suspect when Susskind was talking about ideas away from the consensus _usually_ being suspect, he was talking about what the general public or non-practitioners should think about, especially since they are not usually in a position to ju

Gravity is similar to an electric field here. A wave function for a field consists of an amplitude for each field configuration, where a “field configuration” refers to a value for the electric field for each point in space. In GR each fiel

I saw an LLM having this kind of problem when I was doing some testing a ways back. I asked it to order three fruits from largest to smallest. I think it was orange, blueberry and grapefruit. It could do that easily with a simple prompt. Wh

It looks like they measured the time of the process where the entanglement occurred, not a time of entanglement itself. I guess they can use this to put an upper bound on the time for entanglement, which is a valid thing to do for an instan

I did study quantum field theory and I have a hard time viewing a fermion as a continuous field, whereas a gauge field I do view as a continuous field. I view a fermion as a true point particle, kind of like it is in a lattice. The fermion

I have another definition, or at least this is how I think of it. I’m not sure many people would buy into it. In the standard model, the fermions are particles, like the electrons, quarks, neutrinos. Electroweak, strong force, gravity are f

I agree with you. I think the place to start would be with the ingredient list. I think they would say to avoid things that don't sound like food. I think chemicals are the real danger. It is very hard to do a conclusive study on how g

I seem to have noticed a marked increase in the number of people in public listening to music with no headphones over the past several years, as in going from essentially 0 to it now being a thing. I wonder if this came from people not want

My statisitcs are a little rusty, so I might be off here. Someone correct me if I have this wrong. R^2 = 1 would be every voter in one state votes blue and every voter in the other votes red. R^2 = 0 would mean both states are exactly even

I think you right. Oddly, celebrating food will keep you from getting fat, as the alternative is putting crap in your body.

I am assuming YC will be lobbying on their own interests, which, at least for typical VCs is getting some of their small companies to go big, rather than promoting success among all their companies. They probably won't be lobbying for

One option for doing this is to incrementally build up the "document" using isolated prompts for each section. I say document because I am not exactly sure what the character sheet looks like, but I am assuming it can be construct

It’s not really a wave, it is more of a tide that comes in quickly. So everything gets flooded to 3m above the normal water level, and stays that way for a while.

I think one reason for a change in music could be the "downfall" of record labels as a big driver in the music industry. You can blame them for taking a big cut away from the artists, but the whole industry did a lot for developin

In a "grand unified theory" (which does not include gravity) the strong, electromagnetic and weak forces are unified into one gague theory. SU(5) is one choice. In these theories, the electron, quark and neurtinos fit together as

I had to replace my refrigerator recently after 12 years. I thought refrigerators were supposed to last forever, like the 1940 one, but it turns out mine had a design life of only 8 years, and this is normal now. (I may remember those exact

I have thoughts about that, but IANAN (nutritionalist). Not all energy is the same, as in fructose (in sucrose, which we sense as sweeter) versus glucose (what composes carbs, and also in sucrose), two simple sugars. Glucose goes more direc

I was/am a fan of the R language. I was in fact working on a reactive R IDE, distantly related to R markdown, largely for fun. However, with ChatGPT, that changed my focus to using python more, since ChatGPT provides so much help in th

I did not know you could do that. I think I show how lazy/non-power-user-ish some people can be. On my iphone I rely on "Frequently Visited" web links because I just don't seem to like "Favorites". I don't

I think of the Lagrangian, what we integate to get the "action", as some sort of energy related function. I don't really attribute much meaning to it other than the fact that minimizing it implies the equations of motion, whi

I'm not sure if this will be satisfying because it is a mathematical explanation rather than an intuitive one. If you combine two of maxwell's equations, you get a wave equation for electric/magnetic fields. However, there is

Yes, I should have said we don't need as many programmers to do the same thing. As you say, companies will take advantage of being able to do more, and then there will hopefully be more software needed to leverage the capabiliies of th
