  1. I’m not seeing how this applies, unless it learned the rules without being told, or observing the game being played. New physics = not knowing the rules.
  2. Coding is the easy part. That would require AI developing something that’s not based on what we know, which is not something it currently does
  3. Where does the math that’s in the code/simulation come from?

    Harris vs Trump;

    Only about 30 years. I did not edit any content. If you want to selectively ignore it, oh well. There’s also what you said (“part of the electorate”) and you acknowledged that lazy/inept people exist, so it seems to me that’s settled and the only issue is how many there are.

    Calling a group of people lazy based on race/ethnicity is racist. Insisting that no people are lazy is just cluelessness.

    FTFY (emphasis-wise) This is relevant to the discussion…how?

    Harris vs Trump;

    But this is moot; nobody has made this generalization. npts2020 made it clear they were not talking about all people, and you even mentioned “part of the electorate” So? This discussion is happening here. If we discuss what someone did or did not do, we stick to facts

    Not sure we can. The fact that age and coherence evaporated from the news once Biden stepped aside (Trump being old and often incoherent), the narrative about crime (down significantly, but not reported as such) and the economy (by many measures quite good, and inflation lower than elsewhere) were choices driven by something other than the facts. I think “narrative” is the operative word here. You might expect it with pundits, but reporting is supposed to be objective. A lot of media became storytellers rather than reporters. Yes, some of them undoubtedly were. Can you honestly say that there aren’t/weren’t inept and/or lazy people out there?
  9. It’s quite possible that some area of physics is up a blind alley, because there is a more fundamental formulation that looks quite different but reduces to the known case under the conditions we can experience. Kinda like how phlogiston worked, until it didn’t. Or the plum pudding model of the atom. I don’t know how you find the better model without experimental data to push you.

    If they voted for Trump how are they victims? People have agency. They voted for someone, or chose not to vote. If they were inadequately informed, that’s a choice, too. It’s pretty much a statistical certainty, isn’t it? For those 25 and older, 8.9% had less than a high school diploma or equivalent, and 27.9% were high school graduates with no college https://www.census.gov/newsroom/press-releases/2022/educational-attainment.html Lazy and inept people exist. People watch FOX and think they are hearing facts.

    She also performed better in states where she campaigned; there was a smaller shift to the right as compared to the other states.

    Plus the endless stream of lies, making it so that you don’t know what’s true and what’s false, so you don’t believe anything. Not even what you see with your own eyes. “The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.” ― George Orwell, 1984

    Some voters just didn’t blame Trump for things that happened on his watch, or flat-out didn’t believe he did things he did “Undecided voters didn’t believe that some of the highest profile things that happened during Trump’s presidency—even if they saw these things negatively—were his fault. This was the case on two of the biggest issues in the campaign—the 2020 economic crash and the demise of reproductive rights” https://newrepublic.com/article/188238/trump-won-voter-perception-2024

    Opinions are opinions; accuracy is only an issue for factual statements. You really think this absolves you? Try it when you get pulled over for speeding and see if it works. I don’t think so.

    Harris vs Trump;

    Whether something happened is not opinion. You should be able to show that the ads and speeches were about disdain over Trump, painting a rosy picture of the situation, that their plan was not expressed in layman’s terms. You offered nothing to back this up. If you bother to read the past few pages you’ll see that you’re not the only one being called out for not offering substantiation

    That cite facts? LOL And when he was running for re-election it was for president, not for any other office he held. So it seems to me his record as president would be the appropriate yardstick to use. Besides, he didn’t have to propose legislation to support unions before republicans eroded protections, because the protections were in place. Funny how none of these address the exchange where I told you to stop making stuff up.

    In addition to supporting unions, Biden expanded overtime eligibility. created millions of jobs while dropping unemployment to historic lows, real wages rose, and he forgave a craptonne of student debt (and tried to do even more but was thwarted by the GOP). His policies created manufacturing jobs that disappeared under Trump’s. Not being aware of the record is not the same thing as actually having a weak record. —- Add to iNow’s post about the misinformed “The now-president-elect, according to that NBC survey, posted his biggest margin of 53-27% among voters who don’t follow any news. Trump’s win was a triumph of the ill-informed.” https://www.inquirer.com/opinion/commentary/trust-mainstream-media-2024-election-20241110.html https://archive.li/NFeTA (archive link)

    That’s an interesting take. Yes, even if it was the first time Biden walked a strike picket line, can you name another president who has done so? No, you can’t, because he was the first. It’s not hard to find articles chronicling the ways he supported unions https://www.americanprogressaction.org/article/8-ways-the-biden-administration-has-fought-for-working-people-by-strengthening-unions/ https://www.govexec.com/management/2024/05/bidens-labor-report-card-historian-gives-union-joe-higher-grade-any-president-fdr/397002/ Another thing that’s far from unique is promoting a narrative without regard for facts. George HW Bush was a sitting VP. Biden was a VP. So was Nixon. (though I suspect you meant sitting VP)
  24. Well, that’s not going to work. The speculations forum has standards; it’s not the wild guess forum. If it’s not thought to be true you’re just wasting everyone’s time. So what’s oscillating? This tells us nothing. It sounds like more ChatGPT dreck. You need to post your equations; I didn’t see any time-dependent variables in them, but could have missed that. If there’s no time dependence, how is there oscillation? Why would the Higgs field oscillate? Why don’t we observe this oscillation in mass? How could this be tested?
  25. That’s word salad. What is it about this interaction that makes it vary in time?
