I would say there's a big difference with AI though. Assembly is just programming. It's a particularly obtuse form of programming in the modern era, but ultimately it's the same fundamental concepts as you use when writing Ja

Just to put some numbers on "extremely highly connected" - there are about 90 billion neurons in a human brain, but the connections between them number in the range of 100 trillion . That is one hell of a network, and it can al

It's a cool speech, but it's also wrong. Mammals don't "instinctively develop a natural equilibrium", reality forces that equilibrium on them. A species gets too good at breeding and/or resource consumption - t

Dark Forest depends on the presumption that interstellar travel is worth engaging in (ie it's possible to do faster than light), and that spectacularly devastating weapons are possible. So far we have no reason to believe that either o

The thinking generally would be that while it might take political pressure to initially begin leaving the home planet, once politics has unlocked that capability, commerce will take over. If we were to begin mining the solar system, it unl

tl;dr, and as Betteridge's Law would lead you to believe, the answer is no.

Surely what sets us apart is complexity? Our brains are able to understand and process very complex abstract concepts and we can communicate those to each other. Oral tradition is almost an unavoidable byproduct of that, and while writing

So, I'm not interested in the debate about the correctness (or otherwise) of yaml as a declarative programming language, but I will say this... iterating a GitHub Actions workflow is a gigantic pain in the ass. Capturing all of the imp

I don't have a makefile example, but I do functionally the same thing with shell scripts. I let GitHub actions do things like the initial environment configuration and the post-run formatting/annotation, but all of the actual work

I haven't played with the 2.0 stuff, but I do have the original Underware on the underside of my desk. I don't like the core concept of routing cables through what is essentially 3d printed trunking. It's a ton of printing, a

Is simulate the right word there? With a hundred trillion connections between 80 billion neurons, it seems unlikely that it would ever be worth simulating a human brain, because it would be simpler to just build one than to assemble a compu

Probably because we've been conditioned to accept that machines, no matter how friendly, are not really conscious in the way we are, so there is no risk of them needing to be treated differently than a hammer. AI developments over the

Do the tech billionaire elite, like Sergey, actually believe that AGI is going to happen any time soon? Firstly, I don't think it is, so I tend to assume that they're just being hype-guys for staff/investors, but assuming I&#

I really like Caddy, it used to do reverse proxying and file serving for my homelab, but more recently I've demoted it to just the file serving because of how awesome it is to be able to configure reverse proxying just using container

If it's of interest, I have an automated container of it that builds whenever any of imapbackup's dependencies, or the base ruby:alpine image, are updated. https://github.com/cmsj/imap-backup

Apple still has legal entities in the UK. Pulling out cloud services would be insufficient to prevent the UK authorities from interfering with their activities.

It really bugs me that every time I see posts about new models, there is never any indication of how much VRAM one needs to actually run them.

Meat computers physically change when they learn. They don't separate data from compute hardware, the two are the same thing, so they scale really well. Silicon doesn't currently have that capability.

That's not really a great comparison though because evolution wasn't trying to learn how to walk.

General Intelligence is constantly learning. Transformer based models can't do that. All bets are still firmly on.

The correct solution here is to pick one of the following options: 1) Write a bash script and put /bin/bash in your shebang 2) Write a POSIX shell script and integrate checkbashisms into your editor. Neither is more correct than t
