qanon Google in cross hairs
Catching up on Qanon traffic which is mostly housekeeping. Apparently GOOGLE was able to shift between 2,600,000 to 10,400,000 votes in favor of HRC in 2016. First off, the low end was the popular vote advantage that she enjoyed. This happens to be a completely unexpected source of vote manipulation. At the same time, Google is facing a serious investigation regarding their present ties to the Chinese military who is certainly keen to preserve the CCP control and use of private data.

There Are Two Kinds of AI, and the Difference is Important
We are a long way from any form of general machine intelligence and there is little true incentive to go there. After all we do have humans for all that. The fact that this is limited as well, should inform how far we are away from a perfect AI.

Special apps however are always better defined as computational intelligence and is highly useful but alien to the idea of general intelligence. . *There Are Two Kinds of AI, and the Difference... more »
Socialism: A Man-Made Malthusian Trap
What is stated here about European economic history sounds almost convincing, but is nonsense. Populations expand because they are first able to properly feed themselves on a continuing basis. The rest is noise. Technical improvement will supply incremental productivity improvement, but is not that powerful a signal. Europe discovered the potato. This plus the dairy culture allowed population expansion. Socialism's contribution is to eliminate access to credit which induces subsistence operations to no ones satisfaction. It also collapses the whole national credit system... more »
Trump Fed pick wants to revive the gold standard. Here's what that means
What is it about the gold standard that i do not understand? i really think it to be irrelevant in reality and a potential problem if fools rush in to apply it willy nilly. We also now live in an age in which crypto currency will remove currency control out of the hands of our central banks regardless. It will take time, but it is not going away, not least because it is outside individual control. What it certainly restrains is the capacity for comparative currency manipulation but that is better tackled with trade negotiations and confrontations. Gold standards will not stop... more »
