Algorithms aren't rituals, they are more concrete.

I personally am not, but only because I have a secondary thing I have to devote a lot of time to.

China produces so much steel that it is often accused of dumping.

"non-carbon based life" I guess isn't silicon the only other that bonds four ways? Not a chemist but I feel that 4 bonds are a big thing.

There is a documentary from BBC about the history of philosophy of happiness that was on YouTube, in the documentary it is mentioned that the Greek Philosphers had discussed advertising as lowering our happiness in order to replace the hole

Well if you are looking at large risky breakthrough, Maybe AI to control fusion plasma? Or maybe something to help promising ideas in carbon capture?

Not the same issue really. Political stunts can cause damage. I call it a stunt because it was never meant to pass, but it did...

And if the second vote fails, do you have a third and a fourth vote? Until the outcome is desired?

by vertline3 7y ago
Well they had a vote already, so then with a do over precedent, do officials just keep asking for do overs until they get the desired results? It's messy.

I was just reading that Mars was found to have the remains of an icecap one mile under the surface, so was Mars also hit with a meteor?

I don't think it is different from a work of high craftsmanship such as Chinese Jade carving. But maybe from a kind of labor that is non-skilled.

I think that the idea of prioritizing work that is adding significant value is not so new, to be fair. Professors would go on sabbaticals to finish their book for instance.

What is being branded "Deep Work", was just work before the electronics arrived. Really shows how the new mediums have eroded our attention span.

He started out strong with that witty application to the ex-boyfriend list. However, once the Lady said she was with a surgeon, that was probably the clue that it was time to bow out. Really enjoyed this, but felt a bit of sympathy for Rich

I think partially because the modders don't have to animate walk cycles and limbs moving, the train is mostly static. Also it's the contrast between horror and Thomas's squeaky clean branding.

This whole thread derails from the topic of American CBS censorship, so it sort of did fall into a whataboutism type of distraction cycle. Theoretically capitalist companies that are censoring important content can be pressured with boycott

Correct, scheme is like a minimal flavor lisp.

"if there is an issue, and what is the main issue of using the syntax of Lambda calculus as the basis of a programming language" have you used scheme? From wikipedia "Scheme is a very simple language, much easier to implement

The idea of small rules leading to large patterns is not something Wolfram invented, but he seems to think he did. I think Conway's game of life predates it, as does Mandelbrot, then there is the Durer pentagon. Maybe there is a someth

So my understanding is he believes math is invented, and exists in a "neo-fictional" space where things can be both true and false. Because if it were pure fiction like Star Trek then Math's statements would be false. To me t

Ahh that makes sense, like seeking alpha. I was thinking it was due to indexing things from A to Z.

I still dislike that they called the company Alphabet, because it's something that we teach our youngest. Commercialization starts early.

I don't know either, but they seem to be Attorneys so they can navigate complex laws, or Engineers (Alan Mulally). They also seem to be well connected. What makes them compensated so highly is the large risk they manage, they are expec

It's the Disney machine that really generates the windfall. Sure Iger steers the ship, keeps it from hitting the rocks, so it's worth compensating him highly. I just think some nuance is there.

I think Neanderthals buried their dead and looked after their elderly @ shanidar cave site. Does this imply civilization?
