This kind of age restriction is indeed pretty stupid, Andrew Wiles was too old for the Fields medal for example.

That shows the dominance of the financial market and the economic power over the structures of society. We find completely normal hundreds of billions be redirected to the owners of the capital but we would find an anomaly to think of a tec

Whatever PPP-adjusted total GDP might indicate, I think the main idea is to create a graphic where China is ahead of the USA economically.

I think that patents should only be enforceable if there is a commercialy product or service using it in the interval of maybe 5 years since the patent was registered. People making money by buying patents and suing companies is downright e

Go is played in a a bigger board though and has this kind of recursive nature where a subset of a go game is also a go game while chess is more ad-hoc.

>I don't know about your example, animal carcasses vary a bunch and it would have to be great at not leaving any meat wasted. Cutting meat in practice is an activity that's more complex than it looks and for sure carcasses vary

I think that at some point AI will enter the domain of repetitive physical jobs, like for example an experienced butcher will train an AI arm that eventually will learn to slice meat correctly since that's an activity that normally wor

As I understand it, before the big bang the whole observable universe was contained in a small sphere and then it started to expand metrically. Is this interpretation correct? Another thing: suppose I point a laser beam to the space and by

I used to live in a subtropical region when I was a child in the 90s and it's pretty remarkable how hot the winters are today over there. That experience alone taught me that no way the climate change is not real. It's a bit like

Well... Nobody is expecting to find a civilization under the ocean of Europa. Microbial life is already alien life.

Once I read somewhere that people overestimate the impact of new technologies in the short term and underestimate it in the long term. My interpretation is that right now we're on the top of AI euphoria wave. It was the same thing some

And the fentanyl epidemic is just a symptom, the underlying cause is something else. And of course it's much easier to talk about the chemical structure of molecules or about evil cartels than to face the real social problems that make

What I find it funny about this LLM euphoria is that people seem to have forgotten the theoretical limits of what turing machines can do. Program equivalence, for instance, hits the wall of the halting problem. Yet somehow people think that

Your commentary is pretty childish. I pointed out a structural issue of the modern world and you came up with a pointless counterpoint about being born in an unfavourable condition in the past. I guess I'm being trolled.

There is something very wrong with the current dynamic of the world. Work is deeply devalued while capital has been reaping all the benefits of the increased productivity: if you doubt me, ask anyone who has made any kind of investment if t

I already replied to this guy. I honestly think his concept of convenience is overrated. I know a lot of people who would rather drink from glass than plastic. Surprisingly this convenience has never reached the beer industry and you can al

I think you can speak for yourself. I prefer glass bottles to plastic ones and I always buy soda in glass bottles if they are available(and this means almost always since they are available in the supermarket close to my home).

I arrived to the conclusion that this "risk-aversion" in child rearing is basically the result of smaller families. This may sound callous but I think parents are much more OK with their oldest son/dqughter taking bigger risk

Very nice. I live alone and often I'm baffled by the sheer amount of garbage that my urban lifestyle generates. I was not alive in the 80's but I was told that people used to use more environment-friendly packaging like glass bott

Modern capitalism supresses competition, that's what happens. What if McDonnell Douglas had never been merged? What if Embraer had been bought by Boeing? That's the harm that monopolies do to society and yet somehow they have been

What about discouraging wealth inequality and the lack of social support for the population in general? This would be a horrifying interference of the state in the dynamic of society, right? But somehow for some people the state legislating

One might have said the same thing about the millenials since the 00's and the 10's were known for being "culturally poor" in comparison to previous decades. I think there is a huge economic and demographic phenomenon dr
