it's like music taste. there is objectively better music but no one knows what it is.

>but no one knows what it is.
Could this be a result of the objectively better music changes between qualities of person, e.g. the dumber lower class humans like X while the smarter productive humans like Y; then when researchers attempt to find the "better music" this fact is noticed and due to taboos over eugenics etc they can't openly state this correlation, so have to result to "there's two types of objectively better music".

If I can always decide the Halting Problem for a specific Programming Language, does that demonstrate that the Programming Language lacks Universal Computation?

>Is it just because we know the halting problem is undecidable for any Language that has Universal Computation?
Yes. If the language has universal computation, then it can do two things:
1. Express the decision procedure for its own halting problem, if such a thing exists.
2. Perform arithmetical calculations (or more precisely, model first-order Peano arithmetic).
But Peano arithmetic is formally undecidable by Godel's second incompleteness theorem, so the language's own halting problem must be formally undecidable as well. In other words, even if a decision procedure exists, it cannot be expressed as a computer program. Whether you want to say "no decision procedure exists" or "a decision procedure exists, but it cannot be computed" is up to your philosophical taste.

I'm using the AI a lot, I ask it for obscenely complicated and boring jobs.
Sometimes when I ask him to do things I almost feel the immense effort it would take to complete them.
And she, obviously, does everything (almost) perfectly without batting an eye.
This inability to experience fatigue is shocking.
Needless to say, even these stupid and primordial AIs are already changing my way of working completely.
It's not just hype, I'm realizing it firsthand by using them.

$2 billion down the drain

A new worldwide study finds there were no excess deaths due to covid and there were 16.9 million vaccine-associated deaths up to the end of 2022.

At 521 pages it is a comprehensive report containing hundreds of figures and a detailed examination of excess all-cause mortality during the years 2020 to 2023.

“Our calculated excess mortality rate [ ] corresponds to 30.9 ± 0.2 million excess deaths projected to have occurred globally for the 3-year period 2020-2022, from all causes of excess mortality during this period,” the authors wrote.

More than half of those global excess deaths, about 57%, the authors attributed to covid vaccines.

Using the data from 78 countries the researchers calculated the population-wide risk of death per injection. From this, they estimated the global all-ages excess mortality associated with covid vaccines up to 30 December 2022. They calculated that the deaths, globally, associated with covid vaccines up to 30 December 2022 was 16.9 million people.

Is the idea of infinity flawed? I feel like saying the universe has always existed or that a black hole has infinite density is similar to saying that things are as they are because God created them. I think assigning infinity as a value to measure something that we can't fully comprehend or have the ability to measure yet is an easy way out for the human brain, similiar to using religion to explain away all the mysteries of the universe and existence.

Math and nature are both games. I submit to you that the game of infinity is welded to the game of zero. Neither can exist without the other and trying to use the concept of zero to disprove the concept of infinity is an exercise in self defeat.

Some of the brightest human minds have been reckoning with the idea of infinity for as long as humans have been around. Nobody has a clear answer for you.

"Infinity" is not even really a mathematical tool, but a mathematical shorthand. Dividing by zero does not equal "infinity", it's simply an undefined operation.

When mathematicians write infinity somewhere, they typically mean it for a continuous process that continues in some manner no matter how big a given value is. Infinity is not really reckoned with in the realms of mathematics that are seriously applied towards physical phenomena. At a more foundational level, there is a discussion of "infinities" meaning infinite cardinalities of sets and how there are multiple kinds of infinity, but their applicability to concepts in the real world is vacuous once you strip away continuity.

We use stuff like calculus and analysis for continuous processes, however when you go small enough (quantum mechanics), reality appears discrete. Continuity is closely bound with infinity (for it allows for the idea of the "infinitesimal"), and on the smallest level we can probe this seems to be stripped away and relegated only to a tool of approximation at the macro scale. So, it is possible that Democritus was correct, and Zeno a dirty liar--infinity is a mirage or delusion dreamt up by the human imagination.

The interesting monkey wrench is phenomena like singularities, where approaches to infinity to appear to exert serious behavior--behavior that we do not fully understand.

The whole issue is unlikely to be solved in our lifetimes--and possibly never. Just remember that "infinity" is not a number, and that it isn't used/manipulated/reckoned with in any grounded mathematical/physical context.

Interesting thing is the white-chinese group mixed is in between white and chinese. China has high average IQ but the advantage of the west is meritocracy. If the the west doesnt wake up from the DEI, affirmative action, fake and fradulent bullshit in its science and technology institutions, it wont be much longer till China take over. It's quite close already and the trajectory indicates it might have already been too late.

Did you know that boys get worse grades because female teachers give them worse grades because they are boys and girls get higher grades because they are girls? That means that the reason why there is less male enrollment, it's because women give them worse grades and education in general because of their gender based bias.
We are truly in dark ages for science. And it will get worse over time

You model the stock price as brownian motion and then do a MANOVA on indexe funds with their stock prices as cofactors. Why funds? Because they have nearly guarantees yields which means they are robust tp noise. Then you do monte carlo simulation of the strongest interacting cofactors to determine which stocks are likely part of a loop (like if company A goes down B goes up and then C goes down which causes A to go up) and eliminate those. With the remains you literally just run a GLM on the remaining stocks and lasso away the less significant and bet on the remains. So if the price of index I is down then that means stocks X and Y and so on are the culprits, so buy those at low and then trade when the index goes up again.
