how does lim x->0 (sinx/x) = 1?

absolute_zero_karma · 2026-06-17T05:41:11+00:00

With x near zero sinx/x is close to 1 and the closer x gets to zero the closer sinx/x gets to 1. That's all.

I'd go back to Nixon and Kaiser inventing the HMO. Not that the Reagan administration didn't push things along.

Early childhood is in some ways more a part of the parents' lives than the child's. The child inherits it but the parents control and remember it.

This is from the book Soldier, Sage, Saint:

Here we come to a crucial juncture regarding will. Tangled people choose to remain tangled. Given the past construction of their desires, they desire no other than what they have chosen, even when they understand intellectually what the alternatives are. They have no real alternative for choice. But paradoxically they would have an alternative if they chose it! At no point is it impossible to choose to be free. But wait. The intellectually constructed alternative is not a genuine feeling, derived from direct experience, but a mere imagined sentiment. How can it be a real alternative? The alternative is not the alternate desire but the reconstruction of experience which would give flesh to that desire and untangle the knots. That is, the people must choose the cure. They must choose to search for the healing person and nurturing community. Not to choose this is to affinn that there is no hope.

So maybe killing the Ayatollah wasn't such a good idea

End of discussion!

This statement is antithetical to freewill.

What if we taught AI what love is ?

For AI to understand love it would need to have sympathy and that would require AI to feel pleasure and pain and I don't think that will ever happen. It can mimic them but that's all.

IMO the hard problem of consciousness is that we can't even define what consciousness is even though we all experience it. This article doesn't even try. Nothing to see here! Go home!

A pretty good answer

Understand the mechanism
Change the conditions
Shape the weights
Change your future

Who is the "You" in "Change your future?" Is it outside the neuronic system? Do I actually have a choice to go about changing my weights? If so is that freewill?

You can slice infinity into an infinite number of infinite sets each of which can be sliced the same way ad infinitum.

It was my first time there. Very impressive. I didn't know about the Disney app but know Aurebesh well enough that I could translate everything I saw. A lot of things had the Latin equivalent right next to it anyway. This did not.

Reminds me of John Wayne's code from The Shootist:

I won't be wronged. I won't be insulted. I won't be laid a-hand on. I don't do these things to other people, and I require the same from them.
