So sad ppl behaved like someone completely brainwashed…

It’s sad to see so many people have been brainwashed… please think independently based on facts you can verify first hand … refrain from trusting anyone, especially the deep state people and politicians..

Would suggest to multiply the spend by 20 to account for the recent inflation and to maintain good health … having to see a doctor instantly skyrockets the spend.


Really? You think you need to pay $50 a day on food to maintain good health?


Ya this is a crazy take. I spend ~20 per day on food, and $15 of that is eating out for lunch at work. I suspect I could easily cut this back to $10 daily total, and with some more effort maybe $5-7 total


They're including the medical expenses in it as well


It seems to me that we forgot about the “stealing” of the “shit” from Europe and other places in the early days …


Protip: Some of us were not involved in the desecration caused by the East India Tea Company. Just because we look British means we should suffer like them, too?


They are referring to the fact that the US ignored European IP in its early days and relating that to what China is doing to the US now.


I am just saying, this AI controversy has roots from before the creation of OpenAI. If OpenAI used European IP, I would think that would be a good thing for Europe, assuming AI is the future?

Sorry for talking Ancient History lol


What we call AI is not “the future”. But I’m not sure how OpenAI stealing European IP would help Europe, even if it is.


What’s also funny is that the promoters of the “China is stealing all of our IP in exchange for their labor” folks never mention why corporations don’t just pull out?

Are these IP thefts or technology transfers? If corporations are having their IP stolen, why don’t they just leave?

These narratives never explain or mention this. Idk why people still latch onto them, they are completely uninteresting “China is stealing all our IP and there’s nothing we can do about it except for continuing to allow our IP to be stolen” is an IQ test and trope.

Does “theft of IP” outweigh, or not, “access to very cheap labor (read: jobs)” ?

We need to stop simping for corporations and start thinking critically about these things.



What does your looks and involvement have to do with the parent comment’s core point?


Nothing. I’m crazy, remember???


They are just eigen states of the angular momentum operator.


That’s a very quantum physics-centric explanation though (username checks out…).

A more general definition is that they are eigenfunctions of the Laplacian operator on a sphere, which arise in many contexts.


More generally, see also the Laplace-Beltrami and Laplace-de Rham operators, both defined on (pseudo-)Riemannian manifolds not necessarily embedded in ℝ³.

Even more generally, see the huge body of beautiful mathematics that has arisen from the study of elliptic differential operators in general (de Rham cohomology, Hodge theory, the Atiyah-Singer index theorem, …).


Did you mean that they are basis functions for irreducible representations of SO(3)?


would think the point of algebra is to mechanize quantitative reasoning … trying to cast algebra operations in geometry may not be the most productive …


Any intervention from the government on our choice of media is unconstitutional … hope this is a self evident truth.


The FCC is allowed to issue radio broadcasting licenses that prevent pirate radio stations, thereby "intervening" on my choice of media.

Learn some law.


They specifically only have that because of limits of the commons though.


I get where your heart is at, but this is decisively not true.


That's either a silly throw-away comment, or you're not a serious person.


Who are you? Courts think otherwise.


Well said .. Hope the pile of complexity accumulated would not be a time bomb ...


To be fair, that ship has sailed years ago in many areas of programming, even without LLMs...


Hope this would be a constant reminder that brute force can only get one that far, though it may still be useful when it is. With lots of intuition gained, it’s time to ponder things a bit more deeply.


Maybe, if you want to relearn the bitter lesson.

Would second your proposal
