Well, at least it reduces the problem to the criterium of "health". At least you can individually decide it and use it to accept or reject relativism, treating it as a subjective belief itself :) Hence, why debate relativism at al

I as a physical agent may very well be short-lived myself. Identity is simply a preferences code that is implemented by every one of a set of possible physical agents, one of which is my body. An executable identity is maintained as the cod

Feels more like a traditional threading API.

This is what happens when people have too much time for HN. It is a stretch to interpret my reply like that.

I just meant that you seemingly said nothing.

In this case, you have reached a context in which a property is of zero bits (trivial), but still has useful content, which is already recorded in the context.

Which is obviously irrational, so maybe we shouldn't care about such individuals, at least in long term.

AI will become creative too; then all of humans' services will be exhausted, except for one - existential service - if you want some people to just exist.

Note the ambiguity: more relevant ads as profitable for the ad provider vs. offers more relevant (useful) to you.

When everything exists, nothing exists? There are no universal properties? A non-trivial universal property for a domain asserts something non-trivial about everything in the domain. You think 'political' is a trivial property?

But any news aggregator's scope is itself.

by chromoblob 3y ago
This only has to do with mismatch of the scope of HN and the scope that you are interested in. Hacker News seems to me a news aggregator, just with a certain limited scope.

Note that this can be fully mitigated in software: the browser only needs to hide the latency difference, say, by first measuring the upper bound with random pattern and then setting the measured time to that.

You need to trust at least the hardware manufacturer. If that is yourself, then you probably don't have equipment needed to make it so fast as to be able to use modern software or services practically.

Very good. A step towards the proper concept of computer security.

I'm sure that understanding high-dimensional spaces is the easy part, and getting insights from the AI's answers as high-dimensional vectors is the hard (or impossible) part. The math "just works like that"... but this i

Okay, since to develop the thinking skill, one needs to exercise a lot in a man-made environment, I agree that thinking is dependent on it and the basic vocabulary. However, the dependency ends here. If you just want, you can analyze, decon

Is that good, though? If a hole in a system is exploited by only "the top", it may be disregarded and "the top" will be able to inject anything there, but if it is exploitable by anyone from a wide group, then info from

Yeah, your points seem much more practical than mine.
