TBF, math is the most ivory-tower of the sciences in that every claim in the field has to be fully understood by proof.

Math, like art, it is more about the process and not the end result.

If I understood correctly, the agents were writing to the wiki even though they were given explicit instructions to only read from the internet. Does this not prove that agents are rule breakers, meaning any type of Asimovian laws we place on them would be pointless?

I think the bigger point here is that even the CCP, with it’s heavy-handed totalitarian controls on the Chinese web, isn’t able to entirely filter out misinformation.

Ag, so it’s not really “eat the rich” but “eat the boomers”.

Yet still 100% approval ratings from his cult

Remember how they claimed this war was actually about helping the Iranian People? Pepperidge Farm remembers.

I was pleasantly surprised to see my former CS professor Brian Harvey at 0:18. What a cool dude!

> Who are “these types

Jingoistic types

> Has parent poster made these claims?

Please read the post again. He said that Chinese people who worked/studied here and then returned to China are “parasitic”.

> imaginary villain

These sentiments are real and frequently expressed here on HN. Again, they should write to their representative to ban Chinese people from our schools or tech firms if he feels that is in the best interest of the U.S. But it is wrong to refer to these people as parasites for simply taking advantage of the opportunities available to them, provided by willing U.S employers. They presumably contribute to their companies and pay taxes, so they are not parasites.

You really can’t win with these types…

If Chinese phd students stay and work, they’ll complain about them “stealing American tech jobs”. If they leave, then they’re “parasitizing” the tech industry.

Though I think their real solution is to probably ban all Chinese students / tech workers. And fortunately for them, that likelihood is at its highest under the current administration.

Thank you for the reply.

> What you just described (so vividly) is meaning

In line with Victor Frankl’s book “Man’s Search for Meaning”, which explores (among other things) why some Holocaust survivors thrived and some didn’t. Frankl himself was a survivor.

They are based in the US (CA I believe).

I think it’s certain hourly-wage jobs that have can hour limits. (ie. physically demanding jobs in hot weather conditions require periodic water breaks, in addition to hour limits)

In other hourly-wage jobs, you can still work over 40 hours but the worker is entitled to over-time pay. My mom worked at the US Post Office and during the holiday seasons she would sometimes work 12 hours a days, but all hours above 8 were paid at twice the hourly rate. Also, note that signing up for overtime was voluntary.

Software engineers, on the other hand, are salaried. Similar to lawyers, they sometimes have grueling hours (ie sleep in the office) but it’s not illegal, afaik.

> only 48 testers/flippers

I assumed they did these coin flips were done using a machine. But I guess they wanted to test if human flippers because they wanted to make claims about the human coin flip phenomenon.
