Every now and then I see myself referred to as an "AI Denier" and I want to be clear I acknowledge "AI" exists, it's just I think it's a massive energy drain, created from theft, implemented poorly for inappropriate tasks by loathsome tech executives who get hard at the idea of the rest of us dying energy Related

One prominent theory says that long before our fish ancestors left the water, they did a lot of this, briefly scooting from pond to pond. Slowly, some evolved to be so good at scooting around on land and breathing air that they became fully amphibious. Quoting @sciencegirl You are always one decision away from a different life Related

A day spent exploring Infinity in mutisets rewriting systems. Picked by Cantor for the first infinite ordinal number, infinity is expressed as the letter Omega, ω. It indicates the limit of the sequence of natural numbers 1, 2, 3, 4.. For example, apple^ω means an infinity of apples. Infinity is a saturating value, no finite quantity can be added to or removed from it. wiki.xxiivv.com

China economy researcher based in Beijing who writes on his personal blog about Chinese political economy, history, books and music.
Li Daokui's comments are important because there are so few domestic voices in China stating what (I think) is the obvious truth about the economy: the main problem is that aggregate demand is weak, growth is running below potential and macro policies are inappropriate. This is not a novel, original or unusual insight: it's what lots of people (myself and others) have been saying for years, and is also in the most recent of the much-maligned IMF reports on China. But it runs directly contrary to the official government diagnosis which is that aggregate demand is fine and the economy mainly su… China government Related

Welp, somewhat embarrassingly, yesterday this account was briefly compromised and someone posing as me promoted a crypto project supposedly "tokenizing" manim. Thank you to those of you who quickly flagged it as spam and alerted me to the problem. For future reference, it's a safe bet that you'll never see me creating and promoting a meme coin. crypto Related

Economic historian writing on the Industrial Revolution, the Great Divergence and the origins of modern growth.
Briefly relaxing my Twitter embargo to suggest that you read @oliverwkim's JMP, on the economic consequences of the Household Responsibility System in China. It's a clever and counterintuitive example of how creative data work can help us answer important historical questions. Quoting @oliverwkim 🚀JMP alert🚀 My paper w @FergJoel applies machine learning to 1970s-80s satellite imagery to revisit one of the 🇨🇳 Chinese Miracle's first major reforms, the Household Responsibility System—the end of collective socialist agriculture. What we found was quite surprising. 🧵 China Related

A korrent is a belief a person has stated in their own words: one
sentence stating the claim, backed by a quote and a source, kept at
korrents.com .
Under a name here, the quoted block is what they actually said.
The korrent beneath it is the claim those words support, in
korrents' wording — tap it to see the record, its source, and who
else holds it.
Nobody here wrote their own korrents. They are compiled from public
statements, and a person can change their mind, which is recorded too.

About the English under a post
Some people here publish in a language other than English. Where they
do, this site shows a machine translation beneath the post, in
this typeface — the site's own, not theirs.
The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the
serif above is exactly what the person published, and it is what to
quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter,
especially about tone.
Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked
article and a belief on korrents.com
are left in their original language.
