<p>There are other forms of logic? is intuitionistic logic as rigorous? fascinating<p>edit: the link says it is a weakening. if it is weakened, how can you prove the same stuff? i am a bit confused but i can see how it is useful for smarter people than me!</p>

<p>it is less useful for physics, math, and music since fluency is so much important.<p>It is important for language acquisition too, but the language involves a lot more rote memorization than the above.</p>

<p>It is surprising that the Claude web app lags pretty easily when using either chromium or firefox on ubuntu linux. Chats that delay my laptop work without issues on my ipad or iphone using the app.<p>The web app is definitely a bit of a problem. IF there is a native app on desktop or if claude cli is much faster, i haven't tried them.</p>

<p>> Their defense is that they are a gamified futures contracts and hence should fall under CFTC regulation.<p>That might be the defense. They are inherently designed to leverage insider trading though. I made a top level comment with links/resources that argues why.</p>

<p>thanks for sharing.<p>i met an associate working for a particular VC and they were really into time series foundational models. I argued the most of the "Why real forecasting problems break the whole frame" as to why they were wasting their time at that time.<p>she was totally convinced i was wrong because she was discussing investing with some top and well respected researchers that were really pushing this and wanted to make a startup around it.<p>i was and am still confused as at all the wishful thinking. then again, sometimes the best time to sell an idea is right before you think it is possible.</p>

<p>Doing it on the go via the app is much easier than using the web app through the main OS browser just because the UI is optimized. not a problem with using the web app approach, just that there isnt as much investment in it due to zeitgeist i guess.<p>Also since you are already using 2FA, you are already on the phone so might as well do basic operations there.<p>I can also look at transactions in my bed before going to bed so that is nice.<p>If I need to look at a support ticket or look at transactions more deeply, i still use the desktop approach.</p>

<p>it is a good thought. hits deep as well. though, i found it a bit troubling the rejection of one's roots because exalting the past could put less emphasis on the present or the future. i don't think that is universal; partly an erasure mindset. but i understand it in context of the article.</p>
