It was probably worth it, it's not very likely it would have been continuously crewed for as long as it was without them. Also, put less wear on the US space suits, since they were made in the 1970s.

Someone should see about making a few versions for various crew compositions/landing times for the Artemis program. So you'd have one ready to go pretty much whatever happens.

The argument there is that waiting for "it" to happen would be way too late. Especially if "it" is a billion people are dead and the rest of the people don't have much time.

I think they cleaned out some of the EAs around the time of the board situation, but I don't know what the non-EA overlap is with your description.

You memlock everything, so OOM's not a problem, per se. You need to allocate a bunch up front though. If your program does not handle allocations failing it'll panic (Rust term) and switch back to the kernel's normal schedule

What's the current thinking on hip pads? 20 years ago it was apparently a thing, at least theoretically.

It's probably real (I'm not sure why they'd lie about it), but the exact capabilities are classified. The problem is, there's not currently enough satellites deployed to get the full monitoring and communication needed f

Now do it with race race from bone scans. I'm skeptical on the confounding issue as well.

That's good, assuming the cost of harm is a cost in utility and not in money, otherwise it starts having issues. Make sure you have a good utility function.

The author probably put that in there to make a point.

At this point lots of things don't work right otherwise, and assuming your users want to run wireguard over this link that takes them down to 1420, and if you're already at 1420 it takes them down to 1340... Anyway, you can probab

Is the archive at https://archive.is/Q8tZB before or after they did that?

It is. In my opinion that's what you should do if you can't provide 1500 MTU to your users directly.

If you compare to Yudkowsky, not many people are. Nick Land? Gwern? I think of it, if someone thought there was a 4% chance of a comet killing every single person on Earth before the year 2100, it would be very hard to claim they were an op

I'm critical of both. Nowhere near as much as I dislike Hamas, though.

I'm probably not going to read the book but that's not a reason to censor it.

Sam's supposed to be an AI doomer, only pressing ahead to take up "overhang" created by GPUs. That's clearly not what's going on if he wants to build custom hardware.

I can't see the article on a quick scroll of the wordpress and I'm not sure where the LessWrong posts go. I really doubt it's AI. He just writes like that.

Probably relating at least to the coal situation a couple years back.

That's how all censorship regimes work. If other people didn't do most of the job for you, you'd get hopelessly backed up. Preferably the author does it themselves.

There arguably is for normal people (insert extremely complicated decision theory here) but for AIs it only follows to the extent they need help from humans, and they can't coerce and trick them instead.

Oh, it'll probably understand ethics, that's not the problem.

It should be closer to casual than the simplest conditionalization you can do, right?

Well, it's better than EA or e/acc thinking they are objectively correct for some reason. More with e/acc I suppose, why would "max entropy" be a worthy utility function unless you confuse is and ought?

That's either going to happen or it's not, but I don't think everyone being dead is an acceptable way to force it to be wrong.
