... went out of business too soon to profit from its technology.

Don't talk to anyone other than through your assigned (human) client. The way this was worded, it was asking for the AI to find a loophole in the rules.

On the other hand, I'd say AI has proven its worth as an attorney.

Who even needs to measure historical time that precisely? There's a principle in engineering and science called error probability. You account for it in your calculations and get over yourself about the last few CPU clock decimal places.

There is also the legal problem of measuring things too accurately. When did the Great Flood occur? Well, we have been living here "since time immemoriable" and the courts have judged our memories to trump your science.

It's the recprocal of the Street Light Effect. You don't look for where it is likely to be or where it's easiest to see (under the streetlight). You search where the rewards of sucess are likely to be the highest (citation for your research papers, Nobel prize in physics, etc.) Drunks search under the streetlight because the reward will always be the same. Found my car keys. Now I guess I'll (hic) be driving home.

Nah dude, you're a Windows programmer. I am fully in concordance that hardware RAID controllers were faster on Windows. Microsoft probably made a deal with RAID hardware manufacturers to keep their software controller slow. That's the Microsoft way.

But on Linux? The software RAID controller was faster. The job is I/O bound, not CPU bound.

This reminds me of the days when we were using hardware RAID controllers...even though it was all done in hardware, it seems like they were somehow always slower than the Linux software RAID controller. I never figured out why. What I am saying is, I don't trust the hardware-offloaded compression to be faster without seeing the data.

They lie too. Half of them are the Epstein class.

That's why I hate both parties. Not only that, I hate the mentality that causes people to create parties (ie, have to find someone to bully)

No, I've seen them delete emails to avoid lawsuits. That's the only reason any company deletes emails by policy.

The only difference between what you and I are doing and what the socialists seek is the decision making authority over asset allocation. They (socialists) presume the existence of some wise intellectuals with a perfect overview of the markets. We, on the other hand, rely on the wisdom of the crowd. Which time and time again has beaten the pundits' track records.

It's what they call a chaotic system. You have some positive and negative feedback loops. Which causes the system to oscillate around or settle on one of many possible points of stability (attractors).

Back when this paper was written, chaos theory was still in its infancy. So the author can be forgiven for using a better understood deterministic model.

Granted, a simplification of the formal definition. Some mathematicians will be here to mod me into oblivion shortly.

Actually, I've built my fortune (such as it is) off of the same economic growth. Or in a recent case, the lack of it and the concomitant shortage of RAM chips. So, lack of economic growth in this case. And then there's oil ....

Everyone can play that game. But just sitting around and crying "Capitalism bad!" isn't going to help. "Workers should own the means of production!" Just checked my stock portfolio and it turns out that I do.

The lament of a crypto-bro.

This.

I was going to say Roe v Wade. But the end result is the same. Fewer generations of the unwanted (and unsupervised) offspring crapping up the planet.

I don't know why slower population growth is such a bad thing. I'm a geezer (beyond some mandatory retirement ages), still working and contributing to the GDP. I hear complaints about how we are blocking promotion paths for young people. But even more about "Where's my UBI?" That's the Ponzi scheme.

First, assume a spherical cow in a vacuum.
