I wonder if you could create a nuclear powered cruise ship to ferry people cross the Atlantic in two or three days. If you could do that cheaper than a flight I might be interested in that. Air travel is terrible and if you could relax and have your own cabin it could be a really pleasant experience while not producing any travel based emissions.

Sorry if this is a sensitive topic but why don't you just say you are a brahmin/christian/muslim? How would they know?

? With age restrictions like cigarettes and alcohol.

As soon as middle class work starts to get automated we will form a new system of resource allocation because all of a sudden the current tax system doesn't work and we go through the mother of all economic crises because no one has any money.

That hasn't been true in 50 years

>Law of Jante summarizes the 'zeitgeist'

Why do you feel the need to dress up your comment to be something more than "you guys are just jealous."? Most of the comments criticizing Wolfram in this comment section discuss A New Kind of Science, cellular automata and hypergraphs but yours has no reference to any of the ideas discussed. Your post fluffs Wolfram to an absurd degree without ever actually providing any specific idea that is revolutionary or great.

>I doubt anyone here would dare to try to create something as complicated as it's Wolfram service.

Complicated is not a virtue.

>branded a charlatan your entire professional career by the academic establishment despite running a profitable company for over three decades

Those two features are not mutually exclusive.

Only after another lab made their own open source one that was comparable.

Yes it will help the already powerful players disproportionately.

I am a little bitter that it is trained on stuff that I gave away for free and will be used by a billion dollar company to make more money. I contributed the majority of that code before it was even owned by Microsoft.

Actually on the small downtown streets of my home city they allow parking too close to the intersection such that the view of my civic doesn't allow me to see particularly far down a relatively busy one way street. To compensate for this I roll down the window to listen for tire noise. Maybe not strictly necessary but I'm not sure its quite true to say that people drive by vision 100 percent of the time. Of course they could just add a fisheye mirror on each intersections street or roll back the parking but still. Another example that comes to mind is those old one lane tunnels where you have to stop at the edge and listen for a honk for a few seconds, honk and then go.

Why is it far worse with Terran and Zerg?

Its a fallacy if you try to present it as a logical refutation to an argument. Using bizarre as a descriptive term for an action while not passing it off as a rebuttal is a matter of opinion.

It says page not found.

>China will expand its semiconductor sector, regardless whether it is economical feasible, because it is a matter of national security.

Isn't that the same justification for U.S. re-shoring of semiconductor manufacturing? Tighter control over security and not being vulnerable to some conflict in the pacific endangering everything from automobiles to cloud services. Today, everything relies on some chip so domestic production reduces vulnerability to fragile global supply chains. Covid-19 highlighted that vulnerability so I think both the private and public sectors in the US are looking to do more of all sorts of production at home.

Do you really think they wouldn't acknowledge the upsides of a laptop? Why is that relevant to raw flops/dollar?

In your mind people should work until every last drop of productivity is squeezed out of them?

Arguing a narrow dictionary definition is the lowest form of discussion.

I think you are stuck on hollywood from 30 years ago. It's cool to be a geek now lose the persecution complex.

Could you summarize their arguments rather than drop a content bomb and run away? Its really lazy and unproductive.

Isn't it the other way around?

>Although Boyd is regarded as a military strategist, he didn’t confine himself to any particular discipline. His theories encompass ideas drawn from various disciplines, including mathematical logic, biology, psychology, thermodynamics, game theory, anthropology, and physics.

This guy is really setting off my bs radar. Godel's theorem, Heisenberg's uncertainty principle, entropy, this is like gpt-reddit.

No I really dislike Paul Graham and I find his writing style to be extremely grating. I wouldn't have said anything but you asked. I guess I'm in the minority on this one and I'm a hater in general.

> so it shouldn't be.

I specifically framed it that way so that the WELL AKSHUALLY crowd wouldn't say what you just said.

Volunteers do free work to make all of the language content so it shouldn't be.

Isn't it good to have all your waste in one small location? Especially radiation which can be attenuated by engineering. That's probably one of the biggest selling points for nuclear for me. Solar and wind involves a lot of land being used that can't be left for nature or other purposes. A 1 km^2 site can power a whole region with nuclear energy.

Really burying the lede by not mentioning the 15 percent lignite production. That produces about 3 to 4 times the undesirable pollution than natural gas.

Which would only explain women right? Male sperm counts are down dramatically over the last 20 years.

No discussion of endocrine disruption? Endrocrine distruption could explain a loss in libido. https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/2021/02/27/falling-sperm...

Knowing an opening helps a lot. I beat it on my first attempt with a london system opening. I've also been playing for about a year and a half and I'm at a 1600 rating on lichess in blitz.
