How many variants is that? I have 331 variants which is more than 99% of other customers but less than 2% of my DNA.

I can load and run snake on a Commodore 64 but I can't find a way to actually play it.

Is this why Elon Musk is firing so many programmers at Twitter?

I was always curious about how so many witnesses saw a streak of light shoot up to the plane which then exploded. I was never convinced by the video the CIA released that explained what those witnesses actually saw was a trail of burning je

I wonder if it started when tumblr collapsed and its toxic user base was unleashed across the internet.

Most medical research is junk science that doesn't replicate so any site relying on those studies is probably going to be useless anyway. That could be why the satisfaction is so low.

Approximately 2% of frog eggs become tadpoles, 0.8% of tadpoles become froglets, and 0.1% of froglets become mature frogs capable of reproduction. However, these figures vary based on frog species, predation, and habitat. Some favorable en

I'd like to see its performance on New York Times crosswords split into decades. I suspect they've been getting dumbed down.

What is a hypothetical conscious program doing differently than a program like TurboTax? I'm talking about on the level of the CPU. I don't know where else consciousness would be located in a computer.

by candlemas 4y ago
I think a human brain is quite a bit different from any other pile of meat. But a computer running an AI versus the computer running TurboTax is the same thing. They're running through the same set of instructions, swapping the same bi

It is directing a physical process. The physical process is the changing physical state of the CPU, whatever level you want to get down to, and an artificial intelligence program isn't doing anything different at that level than any ot

That wouldn't change a thing. A simulation is not the thing being simulated, it is data being processed and people agreeing to interpret that data in a certain way. If somebody coded a perfect simulation of a fire their computer would

I think worms probably are conscious. I'm not saying a computer cannot be conscious, just that if it can it already is and the particulars of the program do not matter. I think consciousness is a physical process, nothing to do with so

A perfect simulation of a human run on a computer would exist only in the minds of the people doing the simulation. On the computer it would be bits of data without any intrinsic meaning that is being processed like any other data. So no, I

At any given moment the vast majority of the program that makes up LaMDA is inert, just sitting somewhere in memory and one or a few instructions are in the CPU along with some data in registers and you wouldn't be able to tell the dif

>how slow would a person’s thought processes have to be if they had to spell everything out in internal monologues? The verbalized "thoughts" come after the fact. They thought already exists and then you put it into words to yo
