@johncarlosbaez games are very, very hard to define. But I think the article is indeed dismissive of the fine detail and sells oversimplified version of everything.

That said, probabilistic models *can* get you to systematically getting more bang for your buck than some population baseline. In the long run that may account to general "winning", for whatever in-the-moment values you may have over time.

@johncarlosbaez Where does that requirement for fixed/precise definitions come from? A brain can work with shifting/vague/felt "definitions" just fine.

@johncarlosbaez No need to over-complicate it. "Winning" is having your values realized.

There's no formula in the article, but I suspect it is something like "do at least a little research / napkin math and don't do stupid things that gonna hurt your prospects".

@LMAOYEEN @radicalrobit "web3 is going just fine"

Something is really, thoroughly, horribly broken with this world.

@jaror @BoydStephenSmithJr Understandable... I've thought default rules made that possible.

Anyway, I didn't encounter much problems with type classes while teaching Haskell, not even as a first language. May all of my students were okay with some suspense 😅

@omgubuntu You mean it didn't before? Wow!

@jaror @BoydStephenSmithJr Type classes have been in Haskell since forever. There's no Haskell "level" that would avoid them while being a level of *Haskell* instead of some vague/generic "functional programming".
If you want to teach Haskell - you teach Haskell, with its staples like type classes and laziness.

@GalacticJew возврат это уже когда мир. До этого ещё дожить надо. А после этого я думаю большая часть уже остынет, походив 40 лет по пустыне^W Икее.

@GalacticJew да можно было бы и вернуть... со временем. когда со всеми соседями мир и у всех полно ресурсов чтобы можно было пристроить всех кто хочет, а кто не хочет не пристраивать.

@verge Dog-like AIs are coming!

@raph The framing is odd in there...

Qualitatively:

First and foremost, I find "retaliation" motive is inflated to obscure the elephant in the region.

Hamas and co spell it out, in their charters, that they want to wipe out each and every of 10M Israelis (and then continue to go conquer the rest of the world, but let's not digress). The Jews had their bloody lesson in the past century, that when somebody tells they want to kill you - you'd better believe them and act accordingly.

Retribution or not, they can't afford not having this war now. If somebody wants to save Gazans they should go and tell Gaza militants to surrender.

Quantitatively:

Um.. so, a few people came out to tell they don't want revenge. What about the remaining thousands who lost their friends and relatives?

@BartoszMilewski what would that even mean to have a gradual build up of "illusion of free will"?..

@BartoszMilewski Doesn't look right...

To be a evolutionary advantage it needs to be 1) represented in the genes and 2) have a gradual* build-up from the state of totally lacking it to the state of "promotes counterfactual reasoning"

* with the slope depending of difficulty encoding such a thing vs marginal inclusive fitness

@rticks@mastodon.social the problem I see with governance here is that you need to have the consent of the governed. Why should an engineer building their stuff listen to some "cyber ethicist" (is that a thing now?..) coming out of nowhere?

@rticks@mastodon.social um... I really mean the materials, like texts and drawings were coming from the team itself and. It is patently impossible right now, but that's the entire point of this charade - to find/make a machine that really learns. So, a team of arti-gogues made such a machine. It reads its ABCs, learns to learn, then watches some YouTube drawing tutorials with subtitles and starts painting its own stuff. Is it still theft?
