  • 06:0706:07, 16 June 2024 diff hist +949 N Roshan's ConjectureCreated page with "When I was a young child, I noticed a pattern. Every number past 3 seemed to have a pair of primes 'around' it. # <math> (4-1) < 4 < (4+1) </math> # <math> (5-2) < 5 < (5+2) </math> # <math> (6-1) < 6 < (6+1) </math> # <math> (7-4) < 7 < (7+4) </math> # <math> (11324-45) < 11324 < (11324+45) </math> Notice how for every number you can think of, there's a prime below it and a prime above it equidistant from it. Better stated, what I concluded was that: <math>\forall n..."

Things that are generally awesome and that I thought would be absolute future tech are really here. == Genetic Sequencing == I've always been a huge fan of this stuff. To really know all the components that make us up. To know what our problems are going to be and to fix them up or mitigate them. This is exciting stuff. What's cool here is: === Gen..."

  • 19:4319:43, 2 June 2024 diff hist +1,524 N False Assumptions and CounterexamplesCreated page with "We've all seen other people make false assumptions about things. The most common ones I see online are things like "every guy draws dicks everywhere he sees" and "all boys draw this S shape". These are clearly entirely a cultural phenomenon because my childhood in India, despite the massive amount of street stuff drawn, just didn't have these things drawn. And we didn't do it as little boys either. But there are ones that influence people's world views a lot. I'll try t..."

It takes an engineer to build a bridge that barely stands.</blockquote> That's also true for ideas. An idiot savant could, given some list of phenomena, regurgitate that list on demand, failing to capture the common elements or principles that underlie them. It takes someone capable to distill the parts that matter most and communicate them. Because Principles Are Compressed Imag..."

She always finds the third thing just right: the first thing being wrong in one direction, and the second in the other direction, with the third being just right. People often talk about their own choices in this way. The most famous is probably that drivers think everyone faster is reckless and everyone slower is incom..."
  • 23:2123:21, 18 May 2024 diff hist +1,320 N Principles Are Compressed Images Of RealityCreated page with "Reality has substantial detail. There's no way to search your past experiences for things, or to communicate things to someone else. But if we could have constant time transfer and constant time lookup we could resolve observed things against our past memories in their full form. There is a size+accuracy vs. speed tradeoff which is why we don't. So what we do is create principles - which try to capture the dominant eigenvalues, most significant digits, highest-order bit..." current

Plans That Will Fail Are Useless since they are not actionable. While this seems quite simple tautologically, many people take actions that are incongruent with this. For example, people frequently say "Staying at home would have worked perfectly if the Republicans would also do it" but knowing that the Republicans loudly said they wouldn't do it, that no longer works as a plan. In fact, that mak..." current
