I predict that future people will define some really weird mathematical structures.
If you do something, then you do do something. How far does this generalize?
Programming language feature: some way to declare a mathematical approximation. Like, say I want a function that computes a definite integral of f(g(x)) dx, but using a linear approximation for g. My current approach is to just put the whole derivation into a comment block.
Which is worse?

If there's a thing that most people think is bad, but you know it's good, then maybe you can make a lot of money.
People say life started in the oceans. But then what did the first organisms eat? It couldn't have been bread, because there's no fire for ovens underwater. So did they eat rice, or pasta?
I wonder if you could absorb information faster with an audiovisual language? To understand it you must listen and read subtitles simultaneously. Each "word" is a (logogram, sound) pair, either element of which is shared among many different words. x.com/TetraspaceWest…
wonder which language has the most complicated writing system. Japanese is probably up there
How about nondeterministic classical geometry? Like, constructions that can be verified with a compass and straightedge.
How do you improve at your craft when your tasks are too easy? One answer: invent artificial constraints. I think this does work. But you must remember to drop the constraints when you meet a real challenge.
I think a few people are colossally productive and most people produce very little. A society of risk-takers produces more in aggregate. Instead of pushing people into low-risk jobs, we should cultivate outlier successes by letting people experiment more. x.com/khoomeik/statu…
hot take i know many friends will disagree with me on: this is a deeply selfish act of theft from civilization if you’re a smart capable young person, society poured millions of dollars into raising you you have a moral obligation to pay it back with the surplus of your labor
Do you think education will always be a thing? Or will future people just be born already possessing up-to-date knowledge?
How about a programming language with no string literals? You can just use an array of codepoints or load strings from a file instead.
Language usage poll: how would you casually describe the symbol 🌙? (If you would use a word like "emoji," just replace it with "symbol" when answering.)
What are the most interesting and entertaining Wikipedia articles?
Why not use the Cantor function as an activation function? You can compute its derivative without doing any model evaluations, so training would be really efficient in terms of cost per epoch.
Maybe, if you're trying to make your culture less dogmatic on the margin (but still have a long way to go), you allow people to make suggestions without explaining why. Instead of sharing controversial reasoning, they could talk about experiments and success criteria.
Has anyone else tried a cooking pipeline like this? 1. Think of weird food combinations and prompt Midjourney with them 2. Pick an image that looks good (no need to adhere closely to the prompt) 3. Upload the picture to ChatGPT and ask for a recipe
