Golf, except the golf balls are like twice the diameter is twice that of a normal golf ball

Technologies like this (language, writing, paper maps, computer navigation, LLMs) are potions, that is, medicines/poisons. A choice disguised as a gift. I enjoy abstraction. But, it is important for people to know how to do arithmetic by hand, even though we have calculators.

Skype's "shut down" apparently, but I'm still on a skype call.

It's been 37 minutes after midnight, no issues for the skype call yet.. Wonder how long until they kick us out

Great to see work on jailbreak resistance, but Anthropic's Responsible Disclosure Policy is too draconial for me or my team to want to participate. Anthropic could lock up vulnerability forever, even if it applies to other companies models.
Nobody has fully jailbroken our system yet, so we're upping the ante. We’re now offering $10K to the first person to pass all eight levels, and $20K to the first person to pass all eight levels with a universal jailbreak. Full details: hackerone.com/constitutional…

I think the chance of the interaction depends on the energy in the center of momentum frame, and if all the light in the beam is going in the same direction with the same momentum, then the energy in the center of momentum frame would be zero (assuming vacuum with no CMB)

Err, I guess technically there would be no center of momentum frame, as every frame would have some net momentum, but boosting in one direction has it approach zero, and the energy approach zero.

I said your idea of it, not all versions of the idea “getting to causes”. It is true that some principles/facts can be explained by a more fundamental principle which is discovered later. Perhaps GR can be done explained. But, there’s not like, an unmet need for a ‘cause’ for GR.

… autocorrect changed “so explained” to “done explained”. (by “so explained” I meant “explained in this kind of way)

Specifically, they determine the index in the decklist for the card. The client that has the decklist then produces a proof of what card that is in the decklist (using the previously shared commitment (hash) of the decklist) without revealing other info about the decklist.

And, if you want to just prove that it is a land, and a commitment to what card it is that can be revealed later, can do that too.

3: The amount of work to evaluate a game for meeting such a quality floor, might very well cost more than the value the certificate would provide to developers. Idea: could also allow people who write actual-reviews to pay for a feed of games-good-enough-to-be-worth-reviewing?

(Like, I’m imagining that people who write reviews for new games by unknown developers, maybe could somehow benefit from being the first to review a game that later becomes popular?? I’m not sure if that’s realistic though.)

If it goes out of its way to not be entertaining, does that really count as a “game”? Isn’t a game something one plays?

(Like, employee training videos+quizzes are computer based interactive experiences, but for most of them, I wouldn’t call them “games”? (though some I might))

Found how it does it. There isn’t a single type “predicate”;rather, for each type A, there is a type A->Prop , the type of predicates with domain A. To be able to say P(P), need P to be in the domain of P, so, P:B and P:B->Prop, so (B->Prop)=B, And cannot construct such a type B.

Write a poem in the style of Dr. Seuss on the taxes in Texas on Semtex and texmex.

This isn’t meant to be contradicting what’s said there, so I hope you don’t mind me asking this question despite not being among those you asked. Would “verbal yes, body language no -> say ~’it seems to me like body language is saying no; would you like to clarify?’ “ be ok?

(Provided that one also take into account any body language used when responding to that question I mean.)

(f(n) can be something like, “the length of a binary encoding of a Turing machine with n states, plus a constant in order to specify a machine that emulates a given machine and counts the number of steps until it halts” , so like, 2*log(n) + n*2 * 2*2 * 2* log(n+1)+C , I think.)

(That’s not meant as maximally efficient encoding, just the one I had in mind)

Hm, potential slight variation on it: d:=0 x:=r y:=0 loop: draw(x,y) d_1:=d+2y+1 d_2:=d_1 + 1 - 2x y++ if(d_1+d_2 > 0){d:=d_2 ; x--} else{d:=d_1 ; } if(y<x){continue the loop}

Or: d:=0 x:=r y:=0 loop: draw(x,y) d +=2y+1 d_2:=d + 1 - 2x y++ if(d+d_2 > 0){d:=d_2 ; x--} if(y<x){continue the loop}

Also congrats to @ArturSmiarowski for the most controversial novel take! (variance 1.127) teapaw.org/ArturSmiarowski/status…

Mathematicians should learn from programmers how to share knowledge. First, provide the exact solution to the problem, and then explain how to get there.
