Are world population numbers inflated? It could be made to make us think the world is overpopulated so we accept things like immigration, depopulation, climate change, etc.Is there any way to use science to independently verify them?

Liquid-in-glass thermometers too imprecise to detect global temperature trend since 1850.Margin of error for average global temp 1900-2010 (3.84°C) is 4.5x larger than claimed warming of 0.86°C. https://www.mdpi.com/1424-8220/23/13/5976
>>16559407How come the """"corrected""" temperatures are always more than the raw data? If the errors that needed """"correcting"""""" were real then the """"corrected""" temperatures would be lower than the raw data half the time.

Suppose we find out that P = NP with a constructive proof that also provides an efficient algorithm. Could we use this to settle other computational complexity problems, such as P vs PSPACE? I recently discovered that time-bounded Kolmogorov complexity is NP-hard, which is related to code optimization. So, could we build a heuristic algorithm to find algorithms for given problems if an efficient solution exists?
Yes.

>>16562394No, the whole reason modern society stopped doing that and gave up on things like arranged marriage is because of all the individual suffering that resulted from the collective choosing the wrong things for certain individuals.

Sam Altman is dangerous because of (A) his asinine, arrogant and hateful towards Western journalists and collusion between OpenAI and TIME magazine, (B) his unscientific approach that ignores psychological research such as the ELIZA effect and Wizard of Oz experiments, (C) his changing lying about the non-profit status of his company OpenAI, (D) his willingness to use an online chatbot to dispense questionable medical advice to unsuspecing users, a.k.a. Jackass: Quack, and (E) the similarities between OpenAI and a totalitarian movement.In The Origins of Totalitarianism, Hannah Arendt saysThe chief value, however, of the secret or conspiratory societies' organizational structure and moral standards for purposes of mass organization docs not even lie in the inherent guarantees of unconditional belonging and loyalty, and organizational manifestation of unquestioned hostility to the outside world, but in their unsurpassed capacity to establish and safeguard the fictitious world through consistent lying. The whole hierarchical structure of totalitarian movements, from naive fellow-travelers to party members, elite formations, the intimate circle around the Leader, and the Leader himself, could be described in terms of a curiously varying mixture of gullibility and cynicism with which each member, depending upon his rank and standing in the movement, is expected to react to the changing lying statements of the leaders and the central unchanging ideological fiction of the movement.(p. 382)https://sfstandard.com/2022/12/20/i-tried-to-visit-openais-office-hilarity-ensued/ "I tried to visit OpenAI’s office: Hilarity ensued"https://openai.com/index/strategic-content-partnership-with-time/ "Strategic Content Partnership with TIME"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ELIZA_effecthttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wizard_of_Oz_experimenthttps://openai.com/our-structure/ "Our structure"
AGI is the central unchanging ideological fiction of the online chatbot movement. Artificial intelligence is not online chatbots; artificial intelligence is a worrying movement in computer science with ties to ultra-left wing Cambridge, MA and the MIT Artificial Intelligence Lab.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MIT_Computer_Science_and_Artificial_Intelligence_LaboratoryArtificial intelligence is the rotten, soft on communism, soft on totalitarianism core of computer science, but you will find that there are other areas of computer science such as Unix and open source software that are also soft on communism and totalitarianism in part due to their links to ultra-left wing Berkeley, CA.TL; DR the online chatbot movement is a dangerous, threatening totalitarian movement

>>16566452This is pretty much the newfags can't crystal meme
It has been stated that fundamental particles cannot be split, due to the strong nuclear force but, despite how much stronger it is than gravity, despite how fast objects move at the subatomic scale, and despite how much energy is required to split them, it had me thinking. If we have the capability to create a Higgs Boson at Cern with two protons, couldn’t we destroy one? Google says that it takes 125,000,000,000 Volts to create a Higgs Boson, does that mean that in order to destroy a proton it takes maybe a few billion or trillion more Volts? What if we used enough heat (millions of degrees Celsius) to melt a proton, or used a laser that uses enough lasing crystals that go down to the nanoscopic level to focus a laser beam, and use so much energy for said laser that it splits the proton? Is there any way that a proton could be split? Maybe even a quark, using enough energy?
>>16566166muh particles are field excitations. “Destroying” a field is a meaningless term. Particles are created and annihilated all the time, but this is just the way fields interact between themselves. We call a particle “constituent” if the field theory that describes it is a so-called effective field theory, which doesn’t work past a certain energy. A more “fundamental” field theory describes particle behavior at these higher energies and the “less fundamental theory” is recovered by “integrating out” degrees of freedom not present at lower energies. All of this is just jargon and you need to understand the math before you make le philosophical longposts spewing nonsense.For example, protons and neutrons are constituent particles because the effective field theory describing their interactions via pions breaks down at about 200 MeV, the Hadgedorn temperature. As you approach this temperature, particle scattering looks more and more inconsistent with the effective field theory. Past this temperature, you need QCD. You can recover the EFT from QCD by integrating out quarks and leaving all trivial representations.
>>16566166Energy is not measured in volts.
>>16566166>What if we used enough heat (millions of degrees Celsius) to melt a protonThis has been done. They smash heavy nuclei together at the LHC and they get something called the quark gluon plasma. The temperature of the final state ends up being trillions of degrees Celsius.

>>16566022I'm looking to take the CompLing track in my cognitive science program, but I'd like to know more about the field. It seems to me that the predominant research is all about LLMs, AI, and AGI competition between startups. I'm not vouching for AGI, it seems intractable. So I'm trying to explore beyond the LLMs fad. I'm more interested in multilingual processing and translation. Are any other alternatives to LLMs development? Also, can you share some authors who focus on NLP? Thanks

It seems to me that the predominant research is all about LLMs, AI, and AGI competition between startups. I'm not vouching for AGI, it seems intractable. So I'm trying to explore beyond the LLMs fad.Computational Linguistics is a broad field, I'm more involved in text analysis, but there are other things to study related to speech production, historical evolution, and some other things. But back to text analysis (because that's all I feel qualified to talk about), you should get a really really solid foundation in both Formal Language Theory / Automata, and Abstract Theory of Syntax. To not be a moron, you should learn how statistical NLP was done before 2014, the NLTK book is a good applied book. There's also "Statistical Natural Language Processing" book, it's got a picture of two dice on the cover, published around 1999 give or take a year, and it's quite famous among people who know what they're talking about. At some point if you start doing research in 2025-2028 you will inevitably need to work with LLMs, but very little research is actually about building LLMs. There is a lot of research to do in finding their limitations and characterizing their outputs from a CL perspective.
