My own memory functions as the paper tape as long as the program is simple enough :)

Seems to me that Turing completeness is necessary, for the simple reason that I can mentally trace through Turing-complete code.

The Golden Age trilogy by John C. Wright. I read one of his later works and it was horrid, but Golden Age was incredible. The first several chapters were hard to get into, I quit several times and the people I loaned it to never got pas

I don't understand why publishers take down Kindle books when the paper book goes out of print. It happened to one of my favorite scifi novels. It takes zero effort to keep the book available (I know, I self-published a silly little on

If you don't want any collisions with your product name, then don't use a common English word as your product name.

Also there was a recent study saying isometric exercise, such as wall sits, was better then aerobics at lowering blood pressure. If a tai chi form spends a lot of time holding low stances, that could play a part. Zone-2 aerobics definitely

Well thanks for doing it! I'll experiment with the prompts first, if it works out I might do that.

Or better yet, convert the transcript into a well-structured article.

That's nifty but not really what I want from a summary. I learned what the video is about, but I didn't learn the things I would learn by watching. If the AI could be prompted to give a transcript minus the usual chatty fluff, tha

Are you thinking a sink doesn't get exposed to water?

Efficiency of equivalent lasers has improved by about 40X since NIF was built, and they seem to have nonlinear scaling on fusion output. NIF definitely isn't a practical energy system, but it is an experiment that helps move us in that

I did some quick searches thinking I'd find we produce vastly more iron than chlorine, and we surprised to learn that we only use sixteen times more iron.

Fusion rockets would be able to get over 1% c. I think the theoretical maximum for fusion is around 10%.

Although for some reactions, the latter is the appropriate reaction.

Starliner is not cost-plus. It's under the same program as SpaceX. > After several rounds of competitive development contracts within the Commercial Crew Program starting in 2010, NASA selected the Boeing Starliner, along with Space

Good point. I was responding to the question above but at this point, NASA can legitimately consider SpaceX as part of their manned flight program. It makes way more sense to do it this way.

by DennisP 3y ago
NASA hasn't been able since the Shuttle got retired in 2011. They've been relying first on Russian rockets and then on SpaceX ever since. There are several alternatives in development but nothing human-rated yet.

The DPI is pretty critical here though. A big part of their pitch is that you can use this to work. You can open huge windows all around you full of readable text. Seems like it'd be great for coding. Especially since it has the AR too

AI could change our lives completely over the course of a decade but if each change is just a little improvement that builds on the last one, the whole time people could grumble that "that's not anywhere near ground breaking.&quot

Yeah but someday, the ChatGPT service will fail, people will send the bullet points directly because that's what they're accustomed to writing now, recipients will be pleasantly surprised to see the summarizer working automaticall

No we can't. Instead we can expect people to start dismissing it, despite the fact that it keeps steadily improving, so when it finally gets good enough it takes everybody by surprise.

Also that's money mostly staying in your friend's pocket, since AI is a lot cheaper.

Can't blame the AI models, I plan on doing that myself.

It turned out the US system depended more on human virtuousness than many of us realized. Personally I've been kinda shocked to find out how much was just based on norms and traditions with no enforcement at all.

That's just externalizing costs though. Instead of building a large battery at the power station, you're building lots of little batteries everywhere else. Even demand management can be an externalized cost. If a factory shuts dow

Coinbase already held a huge amount of cryptocurrency, so that's nothing new.
