then again, in light of https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46644795 maybe it'd be more effective to address the concerns of the centre right and centre left, than to bother with trolling the far right?

Not sure RtC is well-coded for those who wear "Curious George" ball caps*, but they might well be as welcoming as they advertise. I'd envision these 2 more likely at a Willy [Nelson] show?

Any other gems?

-The more conservative the affiliation, for instance, the more likely the teenagers are to smoke, drink, listen to music, and even engage in the traditional practice of bed courtship or “bundling”

Hello Linebargerists!!) )

GoogAI says that "REPL interactions can be viewed as traces in a monoid trace algebra, where the quantale helps characterise the behaviour of timed processes over time"

Skimming over its citation, it seems that they may have confused "REPL" with "Replication"?

Could the pun in "Trace" be enjoyed?

How would you strengthen this divination?

(Whole new can of worms on actual vs stated goals of rationalists tho I think we don't have to venture in that direction (yet) :)

U3: looks pretty rationalist to me so far. (otoh our proles recently voted for a 13th old age pension without first demanding an accounting of from where it would be paid) I especially like how the referendum process allows decoupling recognition of problems from attempts at their solution. Certainly being a small country (pace Tito?) helps avoid the temptation of monumentalism. see also https://www.worldvaluessurvey.org/wvsimages/Cultural_Map_202...

(Ah yes dunno why I went for "Texan", not that I am even half-good at desouping the 2)

I was just thinking a few hours ago, that baby seems to be squalling for "quantales". Have you ever asked an LLM about it? I have.. it's good I don't remember what it said, because it seems to be too adult a name, & I don't feel like I've ever made such a kid of myself.

I did algolia what you wrote about it, tho. Hows the Kleene implementation? It should actually be immediately useful to me!! (And... You win!!)

The introduction of the cipher 0 or the group concept was general nonsense, too, and for a thousand years or two mathematics was more or less stagnating, because nobody was around to make such childish steps . . .

--Letter to R. Brown

The sea is still rising around the imp; that kernel has yet to be rubbed away... Will work harder on it, when I'm not yakking on HN :)

I did try a couple of LLMs but although they were useful in figuring out how to organise a writeup, they were just glazing when it came to developing the theory. A friend's recommendation of a topology book has actually been far more directly useful.

If we view the "inner party" as being Russell's farmer (instead of his chicken, to whom "more refined views as to the uniformity of nature would have been useful"), then, although the capital accrues via Matthew Effect, at least all residents can count on food, shelter, health care, and decent access to education. Our proles would be the cross-border workers, who sleep in a different country (and count on their unemployment stats during recessions) — and possibly EU people here on the freedom of movement agreement? (I know little about this agreement; it came about after I got here)
