*Clean water. I think the point is that something that society does for you, for free. Cleans water, and gives it for free. Because it's essential. But everyone is still paying for that clean water, still. Nobody deserves free clean water. And if it were up to Nestle you'd work hard just to hydrate yourself, way harder than today.
So yeah, you still pay for everything, you will always pay for everything, because as far as they are concerned you are dirty evil pleb who doesn't deserve shit for free. Once you've outlived your usefulness you'll find out

There is not enough plantation spaces or resources in general to make everyone plantation farmer or similar. We are already near the peak of resource extraction. Tell me why does China manufacturing so much stuff make West manufacture less? Because they are fighting over the resources to manufacture.
>Why don’t they wait and then cull us in one swoop
Not all of them are psychopaths, but the incentives are heavily steering us to this outcome. It will start with unsuccessful UBI implementations, stagflation and economic depression from people losing high paying jobs and the service economy relying on those incomes drying up as well, and in midst of this starvation will come and people will blame everything but AI taking jobs. Culling will only come with revolution and would most likely be a bioweapon, but that will happen only after everyone is rendered useless. Reminder, they all have bunkers, ASI going terminator would not have trouble with secret vaults but it will help against angry masses.

>*Clean water
Sea water is clean, it is better for bathing than well water, but filtered well water is also generally clean, its just hard.

>But everyone is still paying for that clean water, still.
People just prefer premium things over the standard, so they will also pay 100x more for bottled drinking water with a special brand name over tap water that basically is free (also you can go to pretty much any store/gas station/hotel/business and use their tap if you want free clean potable water).

>And if it were up to Nestle
But its not, so you can just go to any supermarket and get free tap water.

>So yeah, you still pay for everything, you will always pay for everything
Not tap water at the supermarket... that is free.

>as far as they are concerned you are dirty evil pleb who doesn't deserve shit for free.
Unless you walk into their business, then they have free bathrooms and tap water for you to use freely.

>Once you've outlived your usefulness you'll find out
But people don't do that, their bodies are even useful after they have died and they will pay families to take them and use them for research.

>Your argument about the block saying to form new hypotheses kinda fails when you note it only says to do so if the results don't line up with your prediction.
You're completely braindead. That block still reaffirms my point about scope: it literally talks about "future projects", meaning if you got to the bottom of the diagram, you're done with the current "project". Which makes sense. Once you've refuted a hypothesis, you can just publishing the result and ignore that block completely. It doesn't leave anything hanging. You could remove that block entirely and put the text in a footnote and the meaning of the diagram doesn't change.

You're literally getting filtered by 3rd grade reading comprehension.

As a particle physicist, if you compare QED calculations (or even worse, QCD calculations or Standard Model [of particle physics]) to what goes on in cosmology, it’s literally so so much better in particle physics. We have these equations with weird path integrals and shady ways of “renormalizing” away infinites that crop up, but when all the shenanigans are said and done those calculations make remarkably accurate predictions that we can test in hundreds of different ways with massive datasets that allow powerful statistical analysis.

OTOH in cosmology they have a dataset that is N=1 universe and because the universe is too big for them to do any “experiment” on, they just look at equations and ponder the “beauty” of the math and come up with total speculation with basically no hope of detailed tests. That is why LambdaCDM is a “toy model” — they have the equivalent of one fragmentary record of like the Bar Kokhba Revolt and they need to construct some elaborate theory around data that absolutely cannot constrain the model.

As much as people complain about particle physics, at least it is built on mountains of empirical experimental evidence. Cosmology OTOH is based on autistically theorizing about something you can not do experiments on with a sample size of 1. It’s like theorizing on evolutionary history of all life on earth where all you have to go on is a single sea urchin

Well in the year 2000 it was discovered that HRT cures male-pattern baldness, but it feminizes males so its not ideal, they've just been working from that point onwards for the last 20 years or so, trying to develop hormone medications that only target the process destroying hair follicles (really its causing them to go dormant) and so we get things like finasteride and dutasteride which try to block the effect of DHT. Dihydrotestosterone is what actually triggers the follicles to go dormant. If you block its effects most of the follicles return, but effectiveness is still incomplete if you start very late, and so if the norwood reaper already got you and you're fully bald, you have to use hair transplants or a wig.

There are some experiments in the last 6 years with deoxyribose gel, its a sugar gel rubbed into the scalp that apparently stimulates the follicles to begin producing hair, but its only been tested in rats, there's no telling what will happen when humans use it. Its probably going to see commercialization though. What would be very cool is a peptide or small molecule to trigger the cell cycle of the hair-producing stem cells inside the follicles, that would be a truly revolutionary treatment that would enable regrowth without hormonal effects

My unpopular hypothesis is that the tranny, especially the pornographic subculture attached to it, "industry" is going to end up solving most of these male problems like hair loss, penis growth pills, etc.. Through what will be perceived as "incredibly obvious in hindsight" branching medical developments in surgery, hormones, etc.
People get confused because they think, "there's millions and billions in hairloss and penis pills already, why would the trannies succeed where they failed?" Because the tranny group is insane, they're hyper-focused, and a lot of them are willing to guinea pig themselves in sloppy home hrt experiments and obscure genital-related physiotherapies, AND regularly get peer tested by the public (with failure typically resulting in suicide).
It can be a very aggressively result driven community despite exceptions.

> To demonstrate the effect of this result we provide several examples of AI mistranslations of NL statements and proofs into Lean in practice, resulting in mismatches between NL proofs and their Lean ‘verifications’. These include OpenAI’s announced Navier-Stokes proof. In particular, we show that the formalised Lean proof does not correspond to the NL proof of blow-up of solutions to the Navier-Stokes equations.
