I find the claim subjective experience may be illusory absolutely baffling. I can only speak for myself with certainty, but I am entirely sure I have subjective experience. All the other propositions I believe could be…

Both are damaging and shouldn't be normalized, for similar reasons.
When I grew up, I was taught that if someone in your friend group makes a racist joke, you should stand up to them, and inform them that casual racism leads to normalizing racism. Even if "Kill All Men" was just a…
Yeah that wasn't meant to be an accurate transcript of a whole conversation, just wanted to sketch out the ideas involved. The "kill all men" bit would come after getting to know the other person and talking to them…
It feels like there's almost no engagement with the actual claims I'm making. From the original claim of, "Nobody really thinks men are the cause of most of societies problems." My response was, "While growing up I was…
I don't know what exactly you're asking by "Who are the people I have these conversations with?" They were real-life in-person interactions, most often with young women I knew in college. It's interesting that even when…
I am not claiming my experience generalizes here. But my experience was absolutely saturated by a narrative that men are oppressors who are the cause of many/most of the ills of society. The nuance of only including men…
I grew up with the sentiment that forms of masculinity are some of the chief evils of society being the dominant narrative. I grew up learning that the US is patriarchal culture, and that it must continue to evolve and…
As far as I can tell all the data on loneliness points to equivalent rates between genders
It seems salient to ask the follow up question of "Why aren't men getting laid and/or married?" Actually finding the root cause may be much less simple. Your response seems as hand wavy to me as saying "Most of the…
It seems totally inconceivable to me that you could accurately predict how long until we will know whether BB(7) is greater than Graham's Number.
By representing all numbers with lists (or sets). 0 = [] 1 = [True] 2 = [True, True] Etc. Then for example addition becomes appending two lists together
What about "we were cut from the deal"? It seems like you could make a phrase in which 'cut' means "to exclude"
I got h = c(c)(c)(c)(c), just by playing around with it
`wat(foo)` also works. The author says he implmented the `wat / foo` syntax to allow you to more quickly use wat by avoiding parentheses
A charitable interpretation of nico is that he was saying a well-trained NN is itself a model of the world. If it can tell you what a system will do given some inputs, then it functions as a model. While internally it…
Well I mean the reason you can't optimize away the stack frame is that at any point during runtime f can be redefined to be a different function. In the above example, do you agree that any tail call elimination would…
Let's say you had a library function foo, which takes no arguments, does an expensive computation, and then prints a single result to the console. You need the function to instead return the value, so that you can do…
I think that the first amendment prevents congress from banning tiktok for the reason that the content is objectionable. Instead they would need to argue that it is a nation security risk (spyware, etc)
Yes, I believe that this is due to how python lets you dynamically redefine functions even to violate lexical scoping. So in the author's example: def f(x): if x > 0: return f(x-1) return 0 # Here is where a compiler…
Some of the motivation for this comes from how often devs want to contribute to open source but are intimidated by how difficult the barrier of entry is, particularly for large projects. It's surprisingly hard to find a…
Iirc California has the most "nice" days on average of any state. "Nice" = between around 60°-80°F and Sunny. If you want to spend the whole year outdoors California is the best state to do it in.
I would recommend `zod` as a good typescript schema runtime validation library as well. It does require strict type checking to be on however.
Presumably because the author feels that simply characterizing the anti-crypto position as bearish doesn't do justice to the animosity many people hold towards crypto. He's also not saying he is bullish on crypto…
