The world is going to become a much worse place over the next few years. I want to be an optimist, but it will take huge leaps in humanity's societal structures for AI not to be a net negative for the vast majority of people on this pl

It's hard to read between the aggrandized lines, but it appears that this is a discrete phenomenon based on precisely switched gates/reflectors. It's super interesting but not exactly science fiction. Imagine your signal look

Which is exactly what this new breed of AI does - create a facsimile that is good enough to devalue the human equivalent.

With zero external correlation, both have equal merit.

I had the same thought. I really yearn for a simple real-time OS machine to play with and relive my early DOS experiences.

This is what bothers me with diode comparisons in general. The forward voltage is obviously the leading factor in the clipping but is actually the easiest to adjust through biasing the diode. It would be far more interesting to bias them al

What issues are you seeing? .Net (to IMHO its detriment) has incredibly few breaking changes from release to release.

I think the issue is around intent, and it is not an easy issue to resolve, either morally or legally. There are many legal precedents in music - for instance Tom Waits won a case against an ad agency who, after he refused their request to

We have a decent coffee chain in Ontario named Balzac’s, that started in Stratford. I hadn’t known this connection. Thanks!

Who in their right mind would trust twitter with anything more 512 character banal musings after this tumultuous year? Mobile payments or secure messaging? Yikes!

There is a danger to assigning this term blindly, as it is almost a form of 'rosy ignorance'. We are certainly in an extreme period of societal volatility, and it is absolutely appropriate to examine the causes.

That’s a false equivalency, the first takes nothing extra from the purveyor, the second takes significant revenue directly from the artist.

I have watched this countless times in Canada. “Foreign worker visas” are tantamount to indentured servitude. Worse is that companies hire third parties making commissions on finding workers - whose very compensation depends on carefully ne

Can you explain what you mean by C# having a "fundamentally broken threading model"?

We're not talking about Covid itself, but the virologists in the article building a new form of covid.

This isn't a random 'lab made virus' this is a virus made by taking the specifically deadly aspects of one strain and adding the specifically infectious aspects of another. There is a very high likelihood of it being succes

The only issue is that the (potentially unfounded) fear of strategic voting on the other side leads people to vote strategically in the same FPP manner by voting ABC instead of BAC to avoid C. But I greatly long for anything that moves us f

Oh I don't disagree, and am in the strong support of anything that moves away from FPP. The only addition I will make is that these (potentially unfounded) fears is what leads people to continue to vote strategically, such as voting BA

Let's say you have three candidates A, B, C. A is left, B is center, C is right leaning. Polling shows that voters are leaning: - 15% BAC - 15% BCA - 25% ABC - 45% CBA If everyone voted as they desired, then the instant runoff would be

The thing that frightens me is that we are rapidly reaching broad humanity disrupting ML technologies without any of the social or societal frameworks to cope with it.

Looks well written/researched, but this page has broken scrolling that makes it very frustrating to read.

Their site is amazing. I often use it as a research tool to find out what might be available to meet a design idea.

Thank you for correcting me. I misspoke and said ethernet when I was thinking modem. Many are rated from ~300Hz. And I did assume low signal levels in a similar gain setup from the article.

by achr2 4y ago
Low cost ethernet transformers have a wider bandwidth and better linearity. And would work with similar topologies.

Exactly, if he has any form of binary signal to alert him when there simply *exists* a move that gives him advantage, that's all that is necessary to have an extreme edge.

I have changed my comment to add 'I believe'. But I do think that if you simply look at the basic evidence you can only logically conclude that he is guilty. Certainly Jay has tried to paint himself in the best light possible, but
