Does this mean that in the eyes of this Pope or this church, natural born biological humans will always be closer to God or have a higher degree of sanctity than artificial intelligence, any form of technological machine, and presumably art

If we were talking about a projectile fired at relatively close range on the surface of the Earth I would agree with you. But we are talking about a very small object very far away with already only a 1% chance of impact. Buckshotting the o

The best way I can think of is similar to what I heard from Jaron Lanier (he may not be the first person to explain this). Basically what you do is send something massive out there that will gravitationally tug it into a collision course wi

Not necessarily. See my new comment above. In addition, depending on how far out you do it, gravity will allow it to reform. And if it never reforms because you blew it to dust headed out to interstellar space you wont get an impact either.

Only if you managed to leave the trajectory the same if it was already on a collision course or change the direction to a collision course. Do you think you can control that with a nuclear explosion? You probably don't know enough abou

I think it if it's far enough out you only need to change it's trajectory only very slightly to reduce to the probably of impact to something much less

I still don't get why this is bad for NVIDIA either. If anything, it brings more people into their ecosystem. NVIDIA is the AI hardware/platform company right now and people will deploy AI for more tasks if it becomes cheaper to

A little surprised to see SoftBank involved in this since they're not an American company. What is the goal of this investment? Just data centers?

Past that point. But I mostly agree. It's not a hopeful situation. If AI takes over it won't take over because it fought it war with humans and won. AI will take over because people want it to take over.

I do the same thing. Maybe I shouldn't take the GenAI shortcuts but there's only so much I can remember. And everyone wants things done faster, all the time. So, by not using generative AI and figuring everything out for yourself

It's great that some people are fighting back against this. But it's too late. The modern web is unusable without browser extensions or ad/annoyance blockers.

What counts as multiplanetary? Landing as small group of people on Mars who don't last very long probably doesn't meet the criteria.

Wow, it's surprising to me there's a huge difference and in that direction. I always used to increasing resource requirements for synthesis->P&R->logic simulation->full chip simulation. I guess times have changed sinc

Maybe, I've never used Scala before. But in my experience simulations are way more resource intensive than compilation.

You could simulate this on an FPGA platform, those aren't going to be cheap to hold a large design. Usually by running simulations on a PC you're just running very specific test cases. I've run CPU simulations on machines wit

A lot of people are incentivized to keep these rules in place to keep their property values up. Artificial scarcity hurts those not in the game the most.

One of the problems with math, like a lot of things, is that even though you may find it deeply interesting and fascinating and you may even see great utility in it, becoming an expert is very difficult and is fraught with a lot of failure

I gave up on trying to visualize 4 dimensions. I don't know if it's possible. Instead I just try to think of 4D as more of ideas and less geometry: rules, consequences, capabilities, etc. We can do the same thing in 3 dimensions b
