I've been trying to read up on TCP/UDP multiplexing and I'm having a hard time understanding what the use cases are, or advantages over just using regular connections, sockets, and application logic. Do you have a good resour

A lot of the tech is at least dual use though. Think of imaging stuff: like DSP, radar, phased arrays, cameras and the like. (I wish Thermal and Night Vision was cheaper) I was just looking it up the other day and the first wireless time sy

This is just because of culture and the tools that we use. I rarely get this feeling when using Discord due to the culture if "just hanging out" in channels. Some people in the channels I frequent will stream their screens by def

Nice find! This turns out to be quite an interesting rabbit hole. It's definitely earlier than I would have guessed regardless.

If you really want to learn programming. 1. Buy SICP and put it on your book shelf. 2. Don't read it, instead read random StackOverflow posts talking about the content. 3. Spend the next 10-50 years trying to understand what people a

"Authorize" and "Authenticate" are excellent words. They go back to medieval times and haven't changed meaning too much. Everybody knows what an "authority" is. It means they have power or capability. Ever

Solving hard math problems is a prerequisite for those video games. While we are in a good spot right now. I'm convinced that we need a lot more progress to really make the synthesized simulations / games that I see in my imagin

it's nice, but I used to write Java, and even getting IntelliJ setup on my laptop took a lot of fiddling with JVM versions and getting it to recognize my Clojure install. To this day, I will still have weird issues where Cursive won&#x

@slowhadoken, I do not "believe" AI is analogous to human thinking. Please read my previous messages more carefully. -> I don't know how human thinking works, and according to my research, nobody does (not yet at least).

I really don't think it's an equivocation. Training is a high level word, and because we engineered LLMs we know more specifics about how their training works, so when used in context with LLM, it can mean something more specifi

I'm not equivocating them. I'm stating plainly: I don't see what differences between AI and human brains are relevant to the enforcement of copyright. What is fundamentally changed by an LLM with respect to these three though

A human brain also trains on copyrighted work. A human can also reproduce very realistic copies of things and can even pass things off as the "genuine" thing. We already have copyright law and counterfeit law for this. Even if AI

It's pretty funny in a sad way to me that this article talks about how little we know about human behavior and struggling to find answers about why the kids had a backfire effect. I remember these programs, and I remember how they made

For me, it's exactly the opposite problem. If I'm not checking something every day, I forget about it. For example, I'm subscribed to over 700 YouTube channels, but most of them only post one a week to once a quarter. I force

AGI will likely want low noise circuitry, so at least a rogue AI overlord would likely be aligned with the other two objectives. Can't have high intensity radioactive and thermal noise messing with those world dominating algorithms.

You can get plea bargains, and judges absolutely have discretion to put individuals on probation in lieu of criminal prosecution, if there is reason. But those have their own separate issues, of course.
