@cyberpyre I really wonder what Wittgenstein would say about LLMs.

@DataRepublican @ConceptualJames I thought the same thing. Realistically, I would want all of my loved ones (my wife, child, etc) to press red, and in turn, I would expect my loved ones would want me to push red as well.
English
@ConceptualJames Nah, I think the right way to reframe the button debate is to imagine if you had to press it for your child.
You’re a straight-up psychopath if you press the blue button.
English
I completely understand the argument about the blue button (some innocent people will make mistakes innocently), and yet hearing most of the arguments the blue-button people make makes me want to play the red button like a bongo drum.

@WayneCapablanca @DH_Clone @stats_feed This is almost equivalent to using bad grammar and getting ambiguous meaning. That said, if you use the distributive property, you could get 1.
6 / 2(2+1) = 6 / (4+2) = 6/6 =1
The single line notation makes it hard to see how factors are grouped. Not really an arithmetic issue.
English
@DH_Clone @stats_feed It is to laugh. Or rather, cry. How did you get from
6 / 2(2+1)
to
6 / (2(2+1))

@ThinkWiselyMatt Isn’t this just one button that says “kill half the population” and another that says “do nothing”.

@MelBow1983 @RyanAFournier For what it’s worth, it says AI in the top left.
The angle suggests it’s some kind of security camera, which calls the slight wobble into question.
English
@RyanAFournier Excuse me? I see half dozen men standing around with their hands up their asses. No awareness of their surroundings, no patrolling, no offensive or defensive positions, stepping aside, just lollygagging.
English
INCREDIBLE. Look at the absolute lightning speed of this Secret Service agent drawing his weapon.
Zero hesitation. Total precision.
These brave men and women are the best of the best, and they DO NOT play around when it comes to protecting their protectee! 🇺🇸

@Pontifex I’m not sure that this is even true in the history of the Church. It seems to me like Urban II likely indicated that God specifically favored the crusades and around 1095 claimed that those who took up the sword in the conflict would have immediate remission of sins if they died.
English
God does not bless any conflict. Anyone who is a disciple of Christ, the Prince of Peace, is never on the side of those who once wielded the sword and today drop bombs. Military action will not create space for freedom or times of #Peace, which comes only from the patient promotion of coexistence and dialogue among peoples.

@superflow @fermatslibrary You may be able to make this more computationally efficient. We can rule out every 4th power since it always ends in a 6.
I have not tested it, but maybe something like:
Select[2^Select[Range[0, 10^6], Mod[#, 4] != 0 &],
SubsetQ[{1, 2, 4, 8}, IntegerDigits[#]] &
]
English
@fermatslibrary First 𝟏 𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐨𝐧 powers of 2 checked with an elegant Wolfram one-liner code. You can add Parallelize to thread of many CUP cores:
Select[2^Range[0,10^6],SubsetQ[{1,2,4,8},IntegerDigits@#]&]
English
It is unknown if there are any other powers of 2 whose digits are also powers of 2, apart from 128

@ReviewsPossum Scale aside, if I project 10b profits but bring in, say, 8b due to theft and loss, then I did in fact lose that money.

This really isn't a difficult concept to understand if you're of even average intelligence.
If you throw a plastic bottle on the ground, that's one piece of litter. Not a big deal, right? But if a million people throw their bottles on the ground, that's a million pieces of litter. Do you see how it adds up?
The exact same thing applies to shoplifting. If you steal $10 worth of merchandise, the store loses $10. If a million people all steal $10 worth of merchandise, the store loses ten million dollars. Are you following?
But they're a giant corporation, so who cares if they lose millions of dollars, right?
Well, guess what? That company isn't obligated to tolerate it. If a location loses too much money due to rampant shoplifting, that location becomes unprofitable. It costs the company more to keep that location open than it would to close it or move it somewhere else.
So you know what they do? They close it. Then that neighborhood ends up with one less store. That's one less place for people to buy their food, clothes, medicine, or whatever else they were selling, and it's one less place to get a job.
Guess what happens when every store decides it's not worth it to stay open in a particular neighborhood because everyone in it is individually stealing small amounts of merchandise which adds up to millions of dollars per year?
You get a food desert where no one has a place to work.

We need to seize the Canadian northern territories before Canada hands them over to China.

A pleasure to meet with President Xi in Beijing. Canada and China are forging a new strategic partnership. We’re leveraging our strengths — focusing on trade, energy, agriculture, seafood, and other areas where we can make massive gains for both our peoples.

The Chinese are doing that thing again where they exaggerate their progress by misunderstanding the task and create an imaginary gap that Americans get scared of so they develop a trillion times faster and end up 30x ahead instead of 2x ahead

Trump defends the ICE agent who shot and killed a woman in Minneapolis. Video footage does not support Trump's claims.

There may be int’l laws, but not a single International Law standing above all states at all times. Where a state or authority has real jurisdictional care over a determinate political community (e.g. empires, alliances,etc), it can function as a lawgiver within that sphere.
English
@FeserEdward Aquinas requires a lawgiver with care of a community. Divine law works because God is sovereign; int’l “law” lacks any supra-national political authority over states.
In the absence of a sovereign above states, int’l law functions more as norms and agreements than law as such.
English
Flippantly to dismiss international law as such is contrary to a great Scholastic tradition represented by thinkers of the stature of Las Casas, Vitoria, and Suarez. It is neither traditional nor Catholic but merely the ignorant, half-assed jingoism of overgrown adolescent boys.

I'm as reflexively non-interventionist as anyone can possibly be, but Venezuela appears to be a resounding victory and one of the most brilliant military operations in American history. As an unapologetic American Chauvinist, I want America to rule over this hemisphere and exert its power for the good of our people. If some shitty little tinpot third world dictator is harming our country or interfering with our national interests, we should do exactly what Trump did to Maduro. Why not? "International law" is fake and gay. The only international law is that big and powerful countries get to do what they want. It has been that way since the dawn of civilization. It will always be that way. And we are the most powerful country on the planet. It's about time that we start acting like it.

Some on the Right are mistakenly concluding that the fecklessness and perfidy of international institutions mean that international law as such does not exist. But law is an ordinance of reason for the common good and therefore exists even when it isn't observed or enforced.
Sovereign Economy@SovEconomy
I think many are realizing international law isn’t real and the only law is held by who has the power. That being said I’m generally anti interventionist but since the action has already been taken it should exist to completely benefit the American people. Not one barrel of Venezuelan oil should hit global markets. It should exist for our personal enrichment since we fund the government and its military operations.
