gradschoolfailon Our Better Nature: Great Pumpkins

Without using greek or latin: models where e&m charges dont alter the curvature of space are close approximations to the real thing.

Contemporary physicists call this a “constant coupling” https://physics.stackexchange.com/questions/3901/what-is-a-g...

This is not true for the strong force, but you wont get nonsense either if you zoom out far enough (coarse graining, right).

[So “perturbation theory works for SM”, but saying gravity is “non-renormalizable” gives the impression that Manuel Bronstein didnt already anticipate this before he was purged.]

mtw have a mnemonic “space tells matter how to move, matter tells space how to curve”. you arent allowed take short cut as in em “charges tell charges how to move”. Indeed (already true in SR) the fields themselves have mass, so short cuts blow up your face..

Otoh, if you try to take the proper path (integral) you run into the issue of nobody knowing how. Roughly, you need the intrinsic curvature for the integral but you need the integral for the intrinsic curvature..

Yep Percival knew what was up, but even at the phySE page above “algorithmic compression” was spoken. Gisin you linked had “Kolmogorov complexity”, no delvings?

To the 1st q: comments > upvotes indicated that it was generating drama, pending judicial review (it’s a reasonably nonGoodhartian measure, impervious even to meta from the likes of we)

Fwiw i really like the top comment (also related to the differentiable (for Rao observers: hypernormal) beast at the heart of Goodhart’s law)

And the second comment hints at a possible interesting non-Varian framing of solutions to “common antiresource pool” (nonexcludable but rivalrous antigoods) problems

What you may be getting right might yet underlie some resolution of at least a couple of the Hn’s :)

Lets just say, compressing an obscene tonnage of number theoretical hndwav’ry folks usually prefer one direction of SR <=> QM.., so whatever is “extra” in GR maps to the “extra” bits (sorry) in QFT (that JvN had almost no inkling of, that Feynman had just a wee bit (sorry))

[looking at the arxiv 16xx review again, it does seem that Gisin had the right motivations in 199x, but git mostly distracted (not sure about students).. i’d have thought that “heterodyne detection” wouldve set you off]

Sorry, waiting for w.a.o to debug themselves, using it as an us-heirs-approved (or rather judgement-mostly-withheld) pro-bono to the su-heirs-approved alternative (which has a largely orthogonal feature set)

It does smell like there is something here*, but judging by your scleras (shall we say, sclera-pupillary boundaries) we should focus on the GR-QM convo, just a tad more..

(Where tad = some kind of dot product with this convo)

Can you make your (proposed?) patch (to DS, presumably?) even more explicit?*

[ok, y is “seconds” peeking out from the other “si unit”]

To me, it makes more sense to say (<- what you said)

  string (representing expression) to expression ( <- destructure value to env)
  expression to (shorter) string ( <- eval expression )

(Trying not to make “string”/“word”/“expression” interchangeable)

*i sometimes cannot ask my friends questions (similarly, but also different, to this) as it would be too embarrassing XOR explicit => better (even more symmetric?) sibboleth?

Ah thanks for the metaflooding!. was trying to achieve a balance between the 2, kinda like

I concede to a weakness for triangles, such as this

Napoleon’s sleep schedule: i’d only heard about the 6 hours of sleep (because thats the schleppy shit that VCs want to see in designori). That TIL has a delugional [aka magical] aspect, ac, thanks!

PS:original(?) & utter speculation was that the political purges+relaxation to common sense “worked” for the revolutionary army, but not navy. Political commissars having an unexpected effect on routes to victory? (Too difficult/costly/nonsensical to give basic naval training to PCs.

Compressible is the usual case, no? Non-negligible timescales are fine in my book.. (probably in yours too, if you believe that turning a low trust society into a high trust society one is possible, by injecting a something or other)

Length scales are impt too, we are obsessed with highly localized organizations like Musk’s (other than X) & Kelly’s because they seem so effective but the most insidious ones tend to rely on (the discrepancy bewtween?) long (or even mid) range info/materiel exchanges..

gradschoolfailon Russian Family Lived Alone in the Siberian Wilderness for 40 Years

Nice way of depicting the dilemma (or trilemma). I dont see any straightforward way to resolve it rn.. maybe more thinking about which should work better in what situations.. it does seem to depend on timescales.

(There was a comment in the MITI thread about the culture of secrecy, that rings true, note that their final act was to os Prolog.. trust is situational)

(But also laughable security in the academic side, feels like Jacobs is haunting them, MITI failed to bridge the dichotomy.. nothing like a smooth uni to industry prefabd pipeline for them)

May the gods of equanimity forgive my snarky intrusion.. if a bit-hacker gets into a fight [bitva] with a it-hacker, i’m ever only going to side with the it-hacker (even if the elite ex-it-hacker bit-hacker has a history of lauding (/laundering the reps of reputed) it-hackers..

I dont know what the general solution is here.. make sure (organizational) Hierarchies are as fluid as the Recompense (including, by reputation) & Responsibilties, i suppose

nu_H = nu_RR

where nu has units of viscosity

Failing so, i’d prefer to defer judgement after we’ve had blood samples from both Kelly n Musk. (For lead, fluoride, other psychoactives etc)

gradschoolfailon Accountability sinks

Hmm, the analysis with respect to FOSS could also interesting. might make less sense to consider profit/compensation. Might be more useful to think of responsibility flows.. (or sources as well as sinks)

I’m increasing my weights for the idea that silicon-based computers will turn out to be the biggest self-pwn in the history of mankind*.. i know Kubrick was probably being facetious with the fluoride (and borderline slanderous in his Bonaparte script).. and felt that the whole mentat thing was satire…

  Who knows if Grothendieck meant “PFAS” by the demons in his shack :)

Anyways, i dont know if its the reverse flynn [symptom] in japan… all evidence indicates that “men that you’ll never find” actually existed in japan (same as su & us pre 1980 uh VLSI ) then, but not now.. used to think that Thiel was hiding something, but its worse (“men you hoped you’ll never find but you wont know for sure till its too late, and you got rid of the wrong guys anyway”/”florida is not far away enough from (baja)california,”we need immigrants, but only from the antipodes”)
