@axiS
mathematics is a lot about studying things that are the same but look different from different vantage points
see e.g. the different[1][2] articles on tensors

@axiS hell yea new blog dropped

@Azure verb: using complex mathematics in an argument where the math is not necessary

extra-punish people who euler you without anything backing it up
get in loser, we're evolving to extinction
there's some IOIs it's a crime not to react to
@flengyel welcome back

the kryptonite fallacy: steelmanning the opponent's argument and then pulling out a counterargument that seems to hold, but actually only works on the steelman and not on the regular version
I might actually be able to say something about the computational complexity of achieving von Neumann-Morgenstern coherent goals
a list of all known bounds on price of anarchy/price of stability

@niplav heh, funny how that works out sometimes :D
Well off the top of my head I'd probably be promoting:
#1 Diaspora for the best depiction of virtual persons I've ever seen.
#2 Schild's Ladder for the adventure of unleashing a universal X-risk and the race to halt it.
#3 Permutation City; all about Cellular Automata so good but also weird cults too?
#4-N pretty much all the collections of short stories which have some vcool concepts
Orthogonal is bit weird, no Relativity in the setting :!?
@AlexMulkerrin
Yeah I skimmed through the first couple pages of Schild's ladder and this looks *exactly* like the stuff what's up my alley
