What is the difference between "beauty" and "elegance" of a proof?
The middle east is in Asia, no?
Reminds me of the doherty threshold. When will AI respond in less than 400 milliseconds?
By this logic all money is inherently worthless too, and every time you buy a sandwich at the local corner shop you're just passing off that worthless piece of paper to the next schmuck. In reality, things have value…
That ".125% is not much to matter" argument also cuts the other way, against the Matt Levine argument that the S&P is excluding trillion dollar companies and should adjust the rules for them. Should S&P really adjust…
Because for many people who pursue these fundamental truths, the reward is not necessarily personal fame, fortune, or even personal understanding. Advancing humanity's total knowledge (even if that knowledge is by proxy…
Legal has lots of institutional inertia behind it though. I think AI will be very very useful for lawyers..... at their desk in private. But I don't see it replacing them. The legal system is heavily personal and relies…
This is why a lot of my favorite shows/movie series are ones only a few episodes long, but which really give a good feel for the world they take place in. Bladerunner and HBO's Chernobyl are two of my favorites that fit…
I have a suspicion that, once self-driving cars make up the lion's share of driving, accidents caused by humans will actually increase on a per-mile driven basis. I think humans will eventually fall out of practice of…

To be honest this comment kind of reads like anti-US fanfiction. >That diversification helps everyone else, but will hurt the US, which hurts financial markets, and thus everyone else. These are huge jumps in logic, I'm…
In extreme scenarios it is certainly possible for the US to ban exports of certain fossil fuels, effectively making an internal US market that is isolated from the rest of the world and basically energy independent.…
This is exactly why I don't think it's a huge risk to be reliant on China for solar panels. If relations between your country and China go bad, it can't be that much of an emergency when they stop exporting them to you.…
Still not very high by historical standards. In fact, it really just seems like we're approaching the pre-pandemic norm. https://www.congress.gov/crs-product/IN12536
