So Trump is continuing his campaign to remove as many non-neocons from the legislature as possible. Yay, self inflicted dem majority. So much winning.

This is going to radicalize Elon. He is going to run up against unfireable diversity hires, and unfireable diversity hires are an immovable object.

There is a video I saw recently where someone created a text interface for the LLMs to play Minecraft. They did poorly, but it was interesting none the less.

Why should that be any different? Everyone knows that philosophers are fartsniffing faggots, why should their treatment of paradoxes be considered valid?

CatoTheElder 0 points ago +1 / -1

would also add that paradoxes, as they are used in philosphy, are generally figurative and do not necessarily prove or disprove anything,

They are not used that way in physics. For example, the Twin "Paradox" and the Ultraviolet Catastrophe are "paradoxes" but really they just mean the theory was flawed and needed refining.

Newton was obsessed with turning lead into gold, should I accept his alchemical treatises too?

I reject your argumentum ad verecundiam.

Every single one of those took some variation of the Book of Genesis as, well, gospel.

Are you trying to claim that reality is some ineffable thing that cannot be measured? That it is impossible to make predictions? That it is impossible to improve those predictions?

Or are you trying to claim that the universe does not operate on simple laws that are endlessly repeated?

Theory is a description. Each step towards the theory of everything, things get simpler, if more high energy. It is the same few laws repeated over and over again at smaller and larger scales. That is not abstraction, that is the opposite of abstraction. You were bringing up Conway's game of life the other day, so you should understand how simple laws can give rise to apparent complexity. If you know the state of the universe at a given point, you can calculate the state of the universe at any point in the future or the past. We are not there yet, but we will be, provided libertarian don't destroy all science funding or democrats give it all to the niggers.

It's only when you zoom out, and away from first principles that you get unsolved complicated crap like the Navier-Stokes equations.

creatio ex nihilo?

If you are referring to the big bang, science makes no claim to know what happens before the universe passed the Chandrasekhar limit, but the mass was obviously already there.

Only religious nutjobs like you claim that dishonor. Who or What created your god?

I didn't claim that at all. I claimed that a smaller universe can describe the processes that make it work. However even your strawman is incorrect, because a smaller system can simulate a larger system, it just can't do it as fast as the larger system.

CatoTheElder -1 points ago +2 / -3

It's rightfully ignored because it is wrong. The proof is that the universe exists. Any paradox is equivalent to 1 = 0, which means if a paradox exists then one could exploit whatever system that contains it to destroy matter and eventually the universe.

CatoTheElder -2 points ago +1 / -3

You are confusing the information capacity of the universe with it's laws. A larger universe can simulate a smaller universe, even if it has identical laws.

you are attempting to map a theory onto reality which will never map perfectly,

That is false, because reality exists. Just because our descriptions are inadequate right now does not mean they will always be so.

I knew you were gonna come by with bullshit again. You are like the liberal newscaster saying "Hindenburg's (sic) Uncertainty Principle is why we can't accurately predict election results."

First it is Gödel's incompleteness theorems, not "Goodell's" theorem. Second it only applies to first order logical systems. Third the incompleteness theorem only says that a theory cannot prove itself. Any political theory is so far removed from ZFC that you pretending like it means anything in the realm of political frameworks is probably the most smooth brain thing I will read this entire year. It's like saying that you cannot use Newton's laws to calculate ballistics because the Standard Model cannot account for CP-symmetry breaking.

There are no paradoxes. If your system has a paradox it is false.

In order for a replacement for the republican party to occur, the republican party must be destroyed. You aren't gonna destroy them by voting for them.

Stop voting for evil, and you might actually get some good.

The simple math is you voting for republican puts people like Trump, Nixon, Regan, McConnell, and Graham into power.

There are only two good republicans that I know of, Rand Paul, and Thomas Massie. That is 2 out of 270 republicans in Congress and the Presidency. Less than 1% of republicans are worth a damn. There is your simple math.

Thomas Massie

Why does he keep doing this? Is Trump fucking retarded? He only has the possibility of the slimmest of majorities in the House, removing any republicans from the house is just about the stupidest thing he can do.

Currently, at 270towin, it says the Republicans have 216 out of 218 needed for control. All the seven remaining tossup seats are in California and other dem strongholds.

I can just have you both agree not to respond to each other.

I don't care which you choose, but you have to choose one. Either you ban HB00 from harassing me, or I continue posting Gazerbeam's archived retardation.

I will continue holding you to your standards, because every time you do an enforcement action, you turn everyone here a little more against everything you love. You make everyone a little more anti-semitic.

Oh, I didn't know he removed that comment. All I was doing was quoting Gazerbeam (an actual honest-to-god fed) back to himself. Just shows how much of a double standard DoM has.

Especially since he has said:

Comment Reported for: Rule 3 - Harassment It would actually count as Harassment if you posted this on every single one of his posts. You're not doing it now, but if you carried it out and kept reply posting everything he does, that would count.

Of course when Hellsdenizen00 does worse to me, posting his spergy libel on most of my comments, DoM says:

[It seems like you all are just normally arguing. Is this something that actually requires my intervention u/CatoTheElder ? Is this some sort of actual site-wide harassment, or is this just arguing with opposing factions?](https://kotakuinaction2.win/p/199OdKY7gS/x/c/4ZGRjbmZR7A)

Something something double standards, something something standards at all. It's all so tiresome.

They voted for these politicians.

Yup, if your neighbor thinks you deserve to be raped and killed, then you deserve to be raped and killed.
