My theory: It’s a touchy subject. It has not been inhibitory up to this point (mid late 2010s) to divide things into things that follow laws, and things that are complex intersections of many systems of social power and where each individua

If we get rid of zoning and residence/hotel distinctions how will we know who to tax without introducing oppressive measures like voter ID?

I would guess it’s a zoning issue, it’s an issue to the extent communities have a right to do zoning at all

What is the current state of the art? I thought it was all progress towards eliminating things that are actually “knowledge” and so look more and more like the abstract IQ tests we see today.

Bullshit, the tests are all pattern recognition and specifically avoid anything that must be taught.

Do you think you contributed to the conversation or that anyone might have been missing part of the picture but you pointing out that black swans are a literal thing that are not uncommon unlike fairies that don’t exist or “black swans” (li

If the chatbot revolution didn’t happen then did those people make a return? Or are you saying it’s the employees getting paid (who also piled onto the dad) who are now the ones with capital?

No, he’s describing redistribution (some people get a bigger payout proportional to what they paid in). You can have solvent pyramid shaped schemes, and SS isn’t even pyramid shaped except incidentally.

> I suspect that we would see that we need as many categories as there are children to get anything predictive. Making a category to predict human behavior generally hurts those who are “miscategorized” much more than it helps those who

Wait a second, when did the discussion narrow to standardized test scores? I only read the article and did not follow through with sources, it seemed to imply “success” was measured more broadly, by their end socioeconomic status.

Reminds me of how I grew up wishing I could eat cereal and watch TV - at all. It’s good to know that it’s my parents’ active decisions to shape how I think, and not something I can’t control like my innate willpower, which led me to be so s

Maybe conspiracy theory is a bad example because they’re true often enough to not be like fairies or black swans at all. Domestic mass surveillance is a debunked conspiracy theory, remember

No, you are talking deep state (unelected “eternal beaurocracy”), they’ve just associated that term with crazies and racists like everything else that threatens them, so you’re scared to use it.

You sound like you’re trying to be edgy. Are Democracy and Polio Vaccines actively harmful? Parent comment is right.

Thank you, it is that thread, but it’s none of those comments. I also remember they had a weekly timeline of how much they drank in their post. Maybe they deleted it.

I bet in another context you’d happily point out which logical fallacies you just used for points 1 and 2. I used to think like you - while I was still addicted.

Huh, this makes me think, culture is like artificial selection. Some “organisms” have evolved to live off of the land, and others evolved to live off of other humans!

It’s the military and it’s tax money. “Manually transferred” or “unsupported” or “doesn’t meet proper accounting standards” doesn’t debunk “can’t account for”, it directly supports that point!

FWIW I follow your argument but my perception is not visual at all but “grammatical”. Do you read punctuation out loud in your head? If not then whatever you do is how I chunk “fn”, which if it has to be verbalized gets pronounced by insert

I’ll just have you drop a suitcase of cash in a high foot traffic area with no camera. Much smoother than it sounds, nobody pays attention. You’ll still have to do a few other illegal things in any case though.

At CMU plenty of undergraduates took grad machine learning (10-601 or 701), high achievers sometimes in sophomore year. CMUs ML grad program is a top grad program and be sure not to move the goal posts to PhDs defined as contributing new
