Technical solutions vs the laws of nature - which side do you think wins? E.g. SUVs are heavier, so they take longer to stop - if a child runs on the road in front of you, it will have less chances to survive if you're driving an SUV.

Unfortunately most people are selfish. Successful communities have put a price on being selfish, but a car gives the driver a certain level of anonymity. An SUV hitting a pedestrian leads to bigger harm as the impact is higher up on the bod

And this extreme scenario is where probably any errors in GR can be observed, as quantum gravitational effects will become visible.

Think I read somewhere that the GR prediction on the speed of the colliding black holes doesn't match the observations from LIGO.

Also neutrino detectors and gravitational wave detectors allow to observe the very early universe. Until something like 300K years after the Big Bang the universe was too hot for atoms to form and so it was full of particles that block ligh

Instructions on how to make a womb and an "egg" are contained within the human DNA.

Given that the code contains the instructions how to make the hardware - if one is very smart than yes.

If not anything else there's a shortage of human workers. Yes, it will be easier to manufacture and power robots, than to increase the number of human workers.

Don't think a robot needs millions of sensors. 90% of the information that a human uses comes through the eyes - so just 2 sensors. Really in terms of doing most types of work all a robot would need is vision and hearing.

The code how to build a sperm and an egg is inside the human DNA, isn't it?

The DNA contains all the code that creates and regulates the proteins.

Very interesting article. IMHO a key factor in how the world changes in the next 10-20 years will be how far the current wave of AI, based on neural networks can go. If scientists and engineers manage to implement autonomous cars and robot

I'm curious if these 750MB + the DNA of mitochondria + the protein metagenomics contain all the information needed to build a human, or if there's extra info stored in the machinery of the first cell. That is if we transfer the DN

>> For some reason humans have a weird, irrational quirk where they miscalculate uncertain risks by assuming that the outcomes will fall on one side of the distribution until it becomes overwhelmingly obvious that they won't. And

3 years is what a software developer spends on average at a company nowadays. Just start looking for a new job. As an advice for the future, when you ask for pay increase and your boss says no - ask what what you need to do to get it.

Cool app. Wonder if you can potentially use a combination of Llama2 and GPT - to save costs on using the OpenAI API.
