Axiology is intrinsic and therefore not relative. That means there are right answers and there are wrong answers to the question of which goods are greater and which goods are lesser.

Jean-Yves Girard really let it go.

I think Programming Language One is the same type as Eureka Seven.

It's really type resonant that you used COBOL (IN ALL CAPS) for your high school project. Makes for good high school memorabilia. I hope you used Greek gods for all of your variable names.

Blocking the contents of banned users, by far, is the rudest policy I ever saw an internet forum implement.

Ask HN: Looking for a Reddit Backup

Konohamaru — Wed, 02 Oct 2024 05:40:44 +0000

Some important users I study got banned from reddit, with the side effect of no longer having access to their comments, because reddit practices the ancient Roman punishment of damnatio memorae, not unlike how the Japanese practiced crucifixion on Christian missionaries.

Therefore, if any wise guy has a URL to a reddit backup, preferably one that allows you to search the comments authored by a given user, that would be swell.

New comment by Konohamaru in "German Tank Problem"

> Neither is correct, in that neither gives the actual objective truth.

Then why call them estimations?

New comment by Konohamaru in "German Tank Problem"

Konohamaru — Sun, 26 Nov 2023 13:41:26 +0000

Estimate presupposes estimating something in objective reality. Because the verb "to estimate" takes a direct object. Therefore if there are two estimates, and they differ, one is closer to objective reality than the other.

Why does Frequentism and Bayesianism give slightly different answers? Could someone look through every logistics involving tanks in history and see whether the Bayesian or Frequentist approach is closer, thereby gaining evidence for which interpretation is the correct one?

> is some kind of instrumentality, be it evolution, quantum electrodynamics, or anything else

Where can I learn more about instrumentality (besides Neon Genesis Evangelion)?

Thank you for the correction!

It was neither ignorance nor dishonesty, my friend. It was measuring Tesla according to the beliefs of the Roman Catholic Church at his time in history.

And I mentioned "atomism as a theory of science" under the instrumentalism part of my comment. In Catholic Theology, philosophy always means "ontological interpretation". That section you quoted is saying that Catholics are allowed to believe in atomism as an instrumental model, but not as the ultimate interpretation of how the Universe works.

New comment by Konohamaru in "Not Everyone Agreed with Einstein"

Konohamaru — Sun, 19 Nov 2023 02:15:30 +0000

Atomism is a philosophically offensive position to those of Tesla's personality type. Catholic Encyclopedia has an entry against it (while barely admitting an instrumental interpretation of atoms for chemistry). It's almost as bad as evolution!

I remember Bram Moolenar as the guy who had the "Help Children in Uganda!" button in the GUI version of Vim. Were it not for that, surely I would not have remembered the man: he would have just been an anonymous open source software developer.
