You quoted him saying he did not shake hands, that to a lot of us seems a bit excessive. Tem42 tells us that it is more plausible to carry antibacterial wipe for hygiene concerns as opposed to a blanket bank on shaking hands, which to us, is rather strange.
If the cost/benefit is vs . It seems like the latter is more plausible, especially cause the article also said he shook hands and left.
Don’t buy these comments too much. i’m glancing through them, they’re much too critical. Listen to Nancy if anyone.
“Bostrom had little interest in the cocktail party. He shook a few hands, then headed for St. James’s Park, a public garden that extends from the gates of Buckingham Palace through central London. ”—Article
Just buy high quality stuff from black markets. It’s pretty simple. If you ask around you should be able to find a local hook who has some, just stay updated with the scene.
Might want to take a look into the library google just open sourced http://tensorflow.org/
How are you all doing today? I’m having a pretty good start of my day(it’s 11:42 am) here :P
I have found Krushke’s bayesian data analysis & Gelman’s text to be pretty good companions to each other and I’m glad I bought both. Personally I also found that building a physical personal library was much better for my person development than probably any other choice I made throughout the last year and a half. Libraries are definitely antifragile.

I think most people are in it to learn programming though, if we redefine comp sci like this then it sort of changes what it means.
I don’t think it would return to its current status and would most certainly decrease. You’re in the wrong forum to discuss this accurately, too many sheltered kids.
Love this, Luke is actually well read so maybe it’s a bit tough on him, but the casual dismissal and elitist posturing is pretty dumb and cringe inducing. Philosophy is underrated around these parts.
You are right in your sentiments in this thread.
I don’t think I said that. Lol. Very few people would use it without the current stigma, do you know how I know? Because I do coke and most of the culture is influenced by its illegality by a significant degree. It would just reduce to a baseline number, and it’s hard to imagine people destroying their lives due to cocaine if you’re not living in a world of mythology.
Where’s gwern when you need him?
Do you really think it has that much of a benefit? I think it increases consumption if anything by making it cooler. It’s hard to imagine anyone would do coke if it wasn’t illegal and cool because of it’s legal status.
edit: im not sure if your’e serious mr.miller, maybe i’ve misinterpreted something
Cocaine is not even close to as dangerous as heroin, the physical debilitation from alcohol and cannabis is far more extreme than anything with coke, in fact most are underwhelmed and cannot see the point.
A lot of people here are haters to this idea so I don’t think you will get a warm welcome to this, believing it is a “dangerous formalism”.
Sup friends, suggest books on subjective probability, statistical inference, or decision theory that are good buys. I have a lot but want to furnish my collection a little. Let’s go on a spending spree!!
Also anyone know how to get good deals on used books? Recommend me books in general to purchase as well. De Finetti’s textbooks are quite expensive....
Just to be clear, when reading any of Charles Sanders Pierce i have never gotten a hint of “Charlatanism”. Including Peirce among those names amounts to blasphemy.
We know that religion is false but it does something extremely difficult to do which makes it difficult for the atheists(such as myself) to continue, that it is the solution to the extended family. It increases trust among heterogeneous population bases and increases trust among unrelated peoples. Trust is a very scarce resource. Many people forgot to consider this and this is something that I have had to do a complete 180 on. I can no longer continue anti-religiousness as it is anti-civilization and anti-cohesiveness for a society.
I hope this makes you happy.

Thank god I’ve seen someone else that thinks this! I was so infuriated by people saying “stop playing into their hands” as if this is supposed to be some silver bullet in this discussion.
