The nation that makes the most use of this will succeed and spread the most. AI is the new nuke. We will likely see a rapid arms race in using AI in weaponry. If you can automate everything, wage a war without suffering human losses, you ga

I do wonder why auto-optimise-store isn't enabled by default. Is there a historical reason for it? Would Eelco accept a PR making it the default?

Change my mind: 95%+ of what we consume/use isn't necessary.

It's not properly decentralised AFAICT [0]. Censoring a user would amount to censoring their publicly facing relay, which isn't horribly hard for a state actor. Matrix with full P2P support through Pinecone seems much better [1].

So what's the interpretation? What does it mean?

The US (and likely all countries) will need a Department of Long-Covid Treatment. I assume we will find a way to rehabilitate them in the future in a general way.

Discussion on weird subreddit about paper with author: https://old.reddit.com/r/BrilliantLightPower/comments/ffnnxw... Hydrinos took me down another rabbit hole.

The important part is its value relative to the value of your expenses.

Is there any downside wrt. how this would affect the GDP? Intuitively, this means more competition and higher GDP.

This feels like the arguments against electric cars saying the electricity is generated by fossil fuels anyway.

Markets aren't looking good, but I don't think that affects ransomware. They don't hodl.

Intuitively this seems wrong. The explanation in the article doesn't seem convincing. Any form of synthetic fuel that doesn't take more carbon out of the Earth should be better, no?

That would be incentivised with this system, no? Employees would fight the other off the stool constantly, to get their share of sitting.

Well, that could be justified as maintaining the health of the employees by forcing one of two to stand up at any time.

I wonder whether this will change when we get self-aware sentient AIs. What if e.g. Koko the gorilla [0] had made a painting? Could they have claimed copyright with their limited sign language capability? [0]: https://en.wikipedi

The latter works fine if you're OK with completely trusting the banks. Local quantum computation gives you provably sound, decentralised, unprintable digital cash. Nice paper though, I wonder if you can make it quantum resistant.

I imagine we'll have digital cash eventually, but the only sound non-blockchain solution I know of requires local quantum computation: https://eprint.iacr.org/2020/107
