Why would you care about that though? Calculate the odds between your hypotheses, not the probability you'd ever see one.

Nihilism is a terminology debate. Running the planet into the sun because the pianos are out of tune is a physics-based policy proposal. You want your civilization to gracefully degrade as it loses value, rationally shedding components that

> And I mean if that's the way things are going to go, then let's just steer the Earth into the Sun, because what's the point of any of this. That's one hell of a statement for a place like LessWrong.

Did they try to use Bayesian search theory to look for it? That's how you find sunk ships and submarines, right?

Checking this physics on this kind of thing is really hard. The math saying an object can operate does not tell you how the object comes into existence, for example.

Well, it should let you go. The charges are permanent, the US does not have the Internet censorship needed to make them go away even if they wanted to.

That's not true, modern policing started in London and was brought over. Further developments in China were also brought to the US. Before that the US did have law enforcement, but it generally was not as large scale with the hundreds

It's really what pardons are for. It would "only" take a cultural change for DAs to feed up and combine together each year a "master list" of routine pardons that would be "rubber stamped" at both the fede

That means you need to pawn off startup ideas onto people with bad risk management and invest in a bunch of them to spread out your risk.

Right, but your memory functions as a collider, if there are literally no colliders anywhere you by definition won't be able to remember anything.

What's not part of a collider? Good luck with your memory in that case.

When did you go to university? The terminology here came from Pearl 2000, and it probably took years and years after that to diffuse out.

Are the assumptions "No spurious correlation", "Consistency", and "Exchangeability" ever actually true? If a dataset's big enough you should generally be able to find at least one weird correlation, and th

Smaller than a mouse? For something other than a mammal you would have to talk to someone else.

I'm pretty sure Boeing did not merge with Lockheed Martin. In this alternate history was it because of the F-35 contract?

Unless they re-wrote the whole thing again it's not that bad. You shouldn't be building AI in California anyway, but at this rate I'm not sure who's going to pay for actually secure facilities.

They can't, what's generally used is a mouse model of an "autism like condition".

> That aside, I'm not convinced that Rawls addresses the kind of thought experiment you're talking about. The Wikipedia page says that's a common criticism of Rawls, but it might be wrong.

Less resistant than 4096 bit RSA, so not really. Depending on what speedups pan out in real hardware.

You can't run the divide-and-choose algorithm from the original position, because you can't have one person design society and the other put them into it. Might make a good short story though.

Plenty. You can get oracles showing up in many weird places for one. If you want double encryption run AES-256-GCM TLS over WireGuard (Uses ChaCha20). You need to key both with hybrid post-quantum crypto though.

Not Kyber-512, because of questionable long-term security. I'd say the strongest one your application can tolerate (a level 5 if you can tolerate it, otherwise a level 3), but other people have other priorities. Edit: but don't us

The "with diet and exercise" clause is not a joke. You need to think about your nutrition, including protein. Even with a good diet, you're going to lose muscle mass if you don't exercise.

Why would a rational actor want to do that though? Show me a single decision theory that does reasonably well in game theory simulations (I mean R-CDT/UDT tier), that also supports maximin, and I'll write a 1000 word article in th

The UK's really fast at counting. Or isn't the result on January 20 more important anyway? Change the norm.

Toasters (usually?) don't have RCD (what they call GFCI in the UK) in the US. Maybe your circuit will have a GFCI, but it depends where you put your toaster. Do all circuits have RCD in the UK?

There's probably social bias against it too, to the extent that it already means Australians burned down and killed everything, this would just be transferring that to other places.

When he talks about black holes and a ship taking forever to approach the event horizon, you won't actually be able to see it forever, it'll red shift out in some of the old basic models and I have no idea what it would do in real

You'd really have to think about that, I'd personally reject it just on defense in depth grounds. SSH over WireGuard is probably the correct solution.
