Technically only the original dollar would double every day. It does not say that the doubled dollars inherit the doubling property.

What's with Dems' rehabilitation of Bush 2?

The only reason they are where they are is that their parents gave them names that sound like they belong in a science fiction book and the idiot billionaires fell for that.

Didn't the same happen with the Navier Stokes thing?

Have I played “Control Resonant”? Sorry…I’m too busy reading the story of a man who “Controls Rocinante”…that’s right, Miguel Cervantes’ immortal tale “Don Quixote de La Mancha”. So you enjoy your strange “Federal Bureau”…I’ll be delighting in the adventures of Sancho Panza and his “Friendly Burro”

Why is 'Science Magazine' reporting on something that isn't peer reviewed? Isn't that like a core tenet of science???

That time the music duck account and his fellow passengers were taken hostage by a rogue bus driver was great. For us, that is. Probably not for him.

It would probably deal more lasting damage to the Republican party than any of the other options.

licorice-2.bsky.social @licorice-2.bsky.social · 21/09/2026

I would answer no on the junta option because it is anti democratic and that matters too much to me. But it may actually be the best option in the long term as it completely destroys the narrative that the GOP has worked on building for decades that they are the party of strength and manliness.

Thanks for this post. It got me to pull the trigger on tickets for his Cleveland show. We had a blast!

These assumptions not being quite valid and therefore producing data that could lead us to mistaken conclusions is a possibility that you discard too hastily.

licorice-2.bsky.social @licorice-2.bsky.social · 14/09/2026

That bad thing could be bad data. The data we collect is always a proxy for things that are impossible to measure directly. To build these proxies we build models that rely on assumptions and simplifications. Sampling and weighing decisions depend on these.

I suppose the root cause is a disagreement of whether the anomaly is more likely to be explained by mass irrational behavior, or by deficiencies in the data or its analysis. You seem to consistently favor the former.

Also, Musk's models are way behind Anthropic and OpenAI's. Of course we wants them to slow down.

Honestly, two errors. That behavior is not normal.

Post quantum alternative algorithms have already been developed for most if not all schemes vulnerable to quantum computing. The only real threat to be concerned about when it comes to that is potentially decrypting old captured data.

It is highly unlikely that QC will provide any significant advances to LLM performance in the foreseeable future.

licorice-2.bsky.social @licorice-2.bsky.social · 10/09/2026

My point was that the field of quantum machine learning hasn't found any speedups to training or inference of large language models that would be feasible due to having to feed enormous amounts of data directly into the QC qbits and/or have unworkable error rates.

licorice-2.bsky.social @licorice-2.bsky.social · 10/09/2026

The physicists I've talked to mostly seem to think that quantum computing will be useful for only a few very specific problems and prohibitively expensive even for those for a long time. It is not a general speed up for all computation.

Also, as a business who mostly sells access to my team's expertise to larger companies, why would I adopt it and not only atrophy my team's thinking skills, but become wholly dependent on third party providers for the bulk of my product?

I really thought I would do better than 5. And one of the few that I got, @davejorgenson.bsky.social, no offense, but I had no idea he was popular at all.

You are right that they are a well regarded polling team, but the early AZ call was irresponsible. Biden ended up winning by less than 10k votes. There must have been something severely wrong with their data or modeling for them to make that call. They were lucky that Biden ended up winning.

It is also a fairer distribution costs. In the sense that wealthier viewers of ads are paying more since for commercial purposes, their attention is of higher value to potential ad buyers.

Also, withdrawal, reparations, etc... are perfectly reasonable demands after being attacked with no provocation.

The original question was obviously posted in the context of the US in 2026. Pretending that it was in a global context is blatantly moving the goalposts.

This is a man who is only now realizing that he has raped in the past. The cognitive dissonance of knowing that and still wanting to believe he is a good person is driving him to lash out.

Just to be clear, by "his politics" you are referring to his long history of support of white nationalist causes, right?

Why do you claim that VAR did not review the potential foul on Salah in the buildup to the Argentina goal? VAR checks everything in the phase of play, but only sends the ref to the booth if they make a mistake.

That's what I said. Dynamic pricing is terrible when the supplier has power over you. Like Uber's monopoly. But in this specific case, where the supplier cannot extort buyers, dynamic pricing is probably a net good as it theoretically allows the poorest to buy at marginal production price.
