There's a lot to [dis]agree with, here. >8^D But I'll start with the thing I mostly agree with: the damage being done to our culture is a function of the language we use. I don't think Trump or his ilk are the cause, though. They're the symptom. The cause is electronic communication.

Glen - I appreciate the nuance here. I have been dealing with crypto-fascists all of my life... we have discussed the libertarian vs the Libertarian, I have endured the years where Lefty political correctness was approaching fascism and I have had to endure the Righty style fascism that

Re: [FRIAM] Please I need help with a technical term

If you are talking about “S. is a sign to I. of O.” I would call that a ternary relation: isASignOfTo (S, O, I). (Notice I switched the O and the I.) So the triple ("hello", greeting, Nick) is a triple in the isASignOfTo relation. I don't know that there are standard terms for the individual

Re: [FRIAM] Please I need help with a technical term

It seems we're conflating relations with operators. The sense of "argument" is that of operand, which can be just an input to an operator or just an output, or both an input and an output. The operand is a possibly dynamic thing operated on by the operator. I don't think you want that

Nick, You might look at SPARQL. Purely functional logic languages like Mercury provide general ways to formulate things the way Dave describes, but adding strong typing so that one can be sure the desired form is provided. Marcus

Hi, Dave, Thanks so very much for answering. Everybody else seems to be lost to me in the election. There is something that puzzling about your answer. The example you used as an example against my usage seems (to me) to confirm it! Such is my confusion. heyYouDoThis

I wonder how many people that fit Coulter’s constraint (me) would be willing to delegate their vote to others? Can I specify it be to a Hispanic illegal immigrant in Florida that would like to be a registered democrat? Can I pay their employer to give them the day off and pay a reliable

Re: [FRIAM] Trump Is Just A Normal Polling Error Behind Clinton | FiveThirtyEight

The flaw with Coulter's argument, I realized as walking to the poll, is that there wouldn't be any filthy grandson of a German immigrant on the ballot for all those three generation born in americans to vote into office. In fact, I expect that there would be a fairly tiny population of people

Re: [FRIAM] Trump Is Just A Normal Polling Error Behind Clinton | FiveThirtyEight

I like the ANN analogy more than the JIT one... though perhaps my understanding of either is flawed. The JIT analogy is stronger, I think, because ANNs aren't (?) typically capable of multi-domain classification (right?). The extent to which they can operate over a space on which they're not

Re: [FRIAM] Trump Is Just A Normal Polling Error Behind Clinton | FiveThirtyEight

Gary - I agree that in the sense of the stakes being *very very* high, this is not a game. But winning the contest IS about strategy and tactics as much (or more) than it is about representing the will and interests of the citizenry. And I find that deeply sad. In that sense, our

A neural net trained to discriminate between nuances in one environment (H) would need to get re-trained (or I'd say untrained) to the D environment. The signals in H type environments are higher dimensional, coupled, and non-linear compared to the D environment which is made up of many more

Re: [FRIAM] Trump Is Just A Normal Polling Error Behind Clinton | FiveThirtyEight

Right. It's not quite right to suggest that switching codes is bimodal or bivalent. I think it's more of a spectrum, at least in an informal sense. If we were talking about a person trying to communicate a complex idea in a non-native language then switching to their native language, that

Re: [FRIAM] Please I need help with a technical term

Nick, one of the computer scientists can answer more definitively, but your use of argument in the passage is inconsistent with the everyday programming usage. Good programs are modularized with specific computational abilities isolated within discrete modules. Frequently, one part of the program
