@NeilHudsonexp isn’t the assertion of falsity in any given idea just as fallible as the assertion of the truth of another idea though? we can be equally as mistaken when we say something is false, as when we say something is true Frederick seems to dissolve that asymmetry in standard Popper
@dela3499 @kssreeram would the incremental dollar be better spent on an engineer? or on more compute? I don’t see why that dollar goes to the engineer (this assumes Elon is right, which I don’t think he is)
I think @dchackethal @Brigadirk and I agree wholeheartedly with your way of seeing it I don’t think ETV is privileged over any other type of criticism calling something HTV can just be shorthand for “this lacks any ETV components, as far as I can tell”. but as Dennis has pointed out in the past, that isn’t how Deutsch seems to use it (I haven’t reviewed that in a while)
The Orthogonality Thesis *is* Moral Relativism. A response to Sam Harris' latest podcast:
@0_daniboi @dchackethal @Brigadirk yes, I think all three of us agree with you there but the bounty is about something different (I was going to write more here, but the bounty and related discussion explain it better than I can)
Kludginess and ad-hocness are types of flaws that we can criticise with standard Popper removing those flaws is a good thing but it is an additional thing to then say we have a positive property called HTV, by which we can choose some ideas over others. Popperian stuff already takes care of that. no need for the additional property
@Fitz_Doud @yaronbrook @DavidDeutschOxf to be sure,objectivists are justificationists but I’m not sure this is a particular instance of justificationism. I think Yaron and Deutsch just have different theories about government, the reachability of ideals, etc
@Fitz_Doud @yaronbrook @DavidDeutschOxf is publicly funded science not the same as socialised science? even if only a single instance of it?
@ToKTeacher @dchackethal @QuotePopper @X I believe Dennis’ criterion is proposed as a full alternative to HTV
@ToKTeacher @dchackethal @QuotePopper @X it is one thing conjecture a theory, it is another thing to compare theories to choose which one to proceed with (tentatively) I believe HTV falls into the latter category, as does Dennis’ criterion. they are both answer to the same question: “how do we choose between ideas?”
the step of conjecturing ideas (or criticisms) is not itself rational or irrational. rationality comes in when it comes time to decide what to do, given your state of knowledge. it is about acting according to your best ideas, rather than coming up with ideas Veritula doesn't claim to be a creative criterion, only a rational criterion for dealing with ideas once/when you have them one way to put it is that the creative step is outsourced to the user(s)
@ToKTeacher @dchackethal @QuotePopper Veritula is Dennis' implementation of the rationality criterion he describes in this thread. it isn't *merely* a forum, as your tweet implies here is a detailed set of explanation about how Veritula works, that might clear things up: veritula.com/discussions/ho…
@kssreeram @l1berty @reasonisfun @dchackethal how do we know Newton's theory is hard to vary?
@HermesofReason @DavidDeutschOxf @ToKTeacher @dela3499 @reasonisfun thank you for sharing that letter. stirring stuff
@dchackethal @ToKTeacher @QuotePopper is anything lost by writing this kind of stuff in pseudocode? it would make it easier for a wider audience to understand what it means, follow the steps
On one hand, data centers use insignificant amount of water. On the other hand, they cure cancer. So who’s to say if they’re good or bad.
AI dadacenters just don’t use that much water, there’s a panic over almost nothing. Here is a short animation to put AI water use in context:
