I thought android allowed installing third party apps without going through the store. Isn't this 90% of the pitch of android to begin with?

They'll instantly become infiltrated with bots and include people based on arbitrary politics. Either the content is such that it makes zero sense to game or spam or it is lost already.

I intended to imply this with "detection of contradiction". Coherence seems to me to be the only a priori meaning. Most of the meaning of "meaning" seems to me to be a posteriori. After all, what is the point of an a priori floating signifier?

Surely higher level math is just linear combinations of the syntax and implications of lower level math. LLMs are taught syntax of basically all existing math notation, I assume. Much of math is, after all, just linguistic manipulation and detection of contradiction in said language with a more formal, a priori language.

The former is meant to serve the latter.

Bear in mind europe is known for millennia of pogroms and ethnic cleansing (like, I'm sure, many other parts of the world). Sometimes the culture must bend towards the needs of a stable culture.

The founding fathers studied the democracies of ancient Greece, and they made a very intentional choice to guard against unfettered democracy.

This doesn't make their decision good. It has consistently failed to produce politicians that represent the needs of the people who live here.

Democracy may be bad; but what we have is orders of magnitude worse.

I'm a fan of code that mostly reads top-to-bottom, left-to-right.

Programs are rarely linear; why do you expect code to be?

I'm not saying apple is perfect, but it's still more usable than android (and certainly google's web stuff) when I looked three months ago.

Samsung is just straight-up spyware infested crap that's somehow even worse than the other android options.

I'm really pulling for Huawei to rescue us at this point.
