The internet is becoming increasingly hostile to human users as bots proliferate, with CAPTCHAs, multi-factor authentication, and proof-of-work systems failing to distinguish legitimate users from aut…
In August 1955, the United States traded Chinese scientist Qian Xuesen, a co-founder of the Jet Propulsion Laboratory and key figure in U.S. airpower doctrine, for eleven American airmen imprisoned in…
Most modern theoretical physics, particularly in areas like string theory and supersymmetry, is actually engineering because practitioners design models based on internal mathematical consistency or a…
The current debate over AI alignment is conducted primarily by researchers and tech leaders, while the people whose lives and jobs will be most affected by AI are excluded from the design process. It …
Communication between humans and LLMs incurs a "communication tax" due to mismatched domain expertise, requiring one party to simplify or adapt their output. This tax is formalized as a cost function …
Fundamental physics has experienced a century-long stagnation in ontology, with no new, empirically confirmed description of reality replacing the framework established by general relativity (1915) an…
A novel machine learning approach that reverses the standard paradigm: instead of fixing the scoring rule and training model weights, the authors propose fixing the weights and searching for the optim…
Restricting public access to AI technology, as practiced by companies like Anthropic, causes more societal harm than openness. It contends that public knowledge and exposure to systems like LLMs are e…
Agent Lineage Evolution (ALE) framework, arguing that AI agent sessions must be regularly terminated and restarted to prevent context pollution and reasoning degradation, a process requiring human sup…
The article explores the concept of combining wood and metal properties to create advanced composite materials, leading to the idea of a Tang-era Chinese sword (Tang dao) made from a silicon carbide a…
Their experience playing the Pokémon Trading Card Game, combined with insights from game theory and cybernetics sparked by the Iran War, led them to develop a new mathematical framework called Strateg…
"Productive Capacity Theory of Money," which argues that employment letters certify only 40 hours of weekly market labor as creditworthy, while ignoring the additional 14 to 28 hours of unpaid househo…
Mainstream economics incorrectly views prices as signals of scarcity and value, whereas they actually reflect the ratio of debt-backed money to productive capacity. It introduces a "price-as-capacity-…
Increased lifespans, combined with compound interest, are creating a "wealth lock-up" where capital accumulates in elderly hands for an extra decade or more, delaying inheritances until recipients are…
"function colors" represent genuine differences in execution contexts (e.g., async vs. sync, CPU vs. GPU) that cannot be eliminated through type systems or syntactic workarounds. It criticizes efforts…
The core problem with both OOP hierarchies and functional programming's "make illegal states unrepresentable" approach is that they prematurely crystallize messy, evolving business domains into rigid …
Society is living in a "pre-cyberpunk" reality where corporate-government fusion is already occurring, despite people believing they are resisting it. It claims that modern "resistance" has shifted fr…
The "Stop Killing Games" movement faces significant legal hurdles in the European Union because EU copyright law, particularly the Information Society Directive, explicitly protects DRM systems and gr…
