If this hypothesis is true, would it give us a way to distinguish many-worlds vs. wave function collapse? If the many "worlds" are all interacting with a single classical spacetime, we should be able to measure the gravity of othe

I'm convinced that deterministic AI will never fully replicate human intelligence. I will attempt to explain my reasoning. I can say with absolute certainty that I have subjective experience. If my behaviour is deterministic, I can ima

We shouldn't have unelected individuals making choices that have such a high impact on society in the first place. You've detailed the mechanisms behind their high pay, but that is far from justifying it.

I assume the parent comment meant gluing parts of the game engine together like renderers and physics engines. You can make shovelware in a monolithic game engine.

Unity is saying they can send developers a bill for whatever they want, and if it's not paid their game can't be installed. Unity has published what "whatever they want" currently is. It doesn't matter if people get

It's more a measurement of how useful you appear to rich people. You can't make money being useful to people without money. You can make money convincing rich people you're useful to them when you're not.

Telling someone they're gonna pay $10 + taxes and then giving them a bill for $11 + taxes is obviously fraud and I'm not sure how we got to a point where we seem to accept it. I don't know if we need stricter rules or better

I wonder if it learned that if someone says something dumb, they'll probably keep saying more dumb things. It's trained to predict what comes next, not what is correct. So what comes next after "the sky is yellow"? &quot

Most modern games could be ported to the PS3 and Xbox 360, keeping gameplay the same but lowering graphical fidelity. The same cannot be said of porting N64 games to the NES. I think a better measure of retro-ness would include the degree t

The case wasn't about whether property damage was allowed as part of labour negotiations. It was about whether the courts or the NLRB should handle the case. So this sets the precedent that a company can skip the NLRB and take their st

Can we agree that consciousness is outside the realm of mathematics? That, while there could be a formula that determines what our conscious experiences should be, the fact that we actually experience them, as opposed to them just existin
