krsrhe··on How the continuum hypothesis could have been a fundamental axiom
It’s a thought experiment for how mathematicians could have assumed the continuum hypothesis, and how dangerously close they came to making that mistake. It’s not an argument in favor of CH.

What happened to the tech after acquisition?
krsrhe··on What happened to the microfinance company Kiva?
Nonprofit just means no shareholders. Direct employees and vendors can still get rich. In Kiva's case, the local partner banks do really well.
krsrhe··on These Shapes Are Topologically Equivalent
It doesn’t exist, because there is no homeomorphism that takes a distance of 0 to non 0, so you can’t change the connections.
krsrhe··on These Shapes Are Topologically Equivalent
Can you share an illustration?
krsrhe··on The False Promise of ChatGPT
Your spam team used a spam machine to generate spam. But it’s not even SPAM which has some flavor and nutrition. Just filler to annoy people and trick them into paying you.

Your profile says “ Stuck in hell references to my job working with ----“

krsrhe··on Domain registrar Gandi gets bought out, removes free mailboxes
Uchrony? Fictional?

krsrhe··on Which emoji scissors close (2020)
It’s because people aren’t aware the 2nd dimension, the looseness of the connection between the planes of the blades, where the screw isn’t (and can never be) perfectly tight yet still allows the blades to slide. It’s hard to get the idea across in text. Your second comment helped a lot.

krsrhe··on Using the air as a wire – was Nikola Tesla right? [video]
Relativity doesn’t say space has to be curved; that’s just an interpretation.

You could interpret relativity only as curved paths in flat space due to gravity, instead of flat paths in curved space. The math is much uglier, though, so in a metaphysical sense, Tesla was wrong.

krsrhe··on Interview with John Cook: mathematical consultant
His argument about employment is weird. I am 99% sure he could get paid more with less lead-chasing if he worked for one or more tech companies as a researcher, analyst, or developer. Maybe his consulting work is more fun and interesting, but “agency over income” is doubtful.
