Seems to me the constant harping about it (both by media and loud voices) is a self-reinforcing story. In the actual meaning of the word "meme". The world has never been more full of choices and opportunities (as in "things t

Why / how do you admire this lack of self-expression? What's so interesting about that specifically?

This is one of the questions of AGI: If AGI and autonomy, then what might be their motivations and goals? Which might be the obvious avenues for advancement that we haven't cared about or even noticed? If goo mortality is not a concern

You also affect how much energy (heat) you radiate from earth's surface into space, by choosing the right color, materials of buildings or land around you.

This is one field where it's extremely hard to keep up with research internal to the manufacturers - or even fully understand what they currently produce. Hard to be relevant, basically. So well thought out, published, detailed reverse

Yes and no on order of magnitude required for decent AI, there is still (that I know of) very little hard data on info density in the human brain. What there is points at entire sections that can sometimes be destroyed or actively removed w

No reason for an AGI not to have a few cubes of goo slotted in here and there. But yeah, because of the training issue, they might be coprocessors or storage or something.

Considering the success of this work, I doubt this is the last such cubic millimeter to be mapped. Or perhaps the next one at even higher resolution. No worries.

How much of a blowback was that really anyway? I mean a social media headline that a few others pile on... is rather limited as a blowback. If anything both ad idea and implementation are mediocre - and perhaps should have been rejected on

Oh interesting. Yeah much higher budget than I remembered: Blade Runner $30M. Higher than, around 1982, Raiders of the Lost Ark ($20M), same as The Empire Strikes Back ($30M), higher than Conan the Barbarian ($20M), Higher than Star Trek II

About the movie: It's amazing how much second guessing many / most of these works get. I get that this is a result of the budgets required (although Blade Runner wasn't a high budget movie) and (consequently?) the number of p

Reactors could be used for varying output - but the current high costs call for maximizing usage, so constant spec power in between scheduled maintenance. But your second is also what I notice: (western) uranium demand would increase IF add

Funny you mention surveys! Businesses have been sending me surveys which are far worse than the service experience was itself. This is not a good move: the service was fine but the survey itself was a truly bad experience both in broad line

Re. product quality: And yet the service still makes a difference - or the entire difference perhaps. Recently two items were botched by Aliexpress for me. Talking to the vendors, the shippers and then Aliexpress was absurdly horrible. Thes

Right: When making the tradeoff, consider how painful it would be if you ever have to rename. All the way to your users refusing to even pay attention to a change in identifiers they have cached. How complex a translation layer might you ha

I feel often this is one of the major points in a trade-off: How likely is it that this choice will be thrown back in our face during the life of the application. Realistically many / most components get a rewrite soon enough. Or shoul

What bothers me more is that there are different underlying mechanisms for - well, different kinds of inflation. Do interest rates really address them all? No. - "supply chain chaos" is a good excuse to raise prices - artificially

Another direction to look at this: College (and grad school) is a protected time to poke around knowledge and career disciplines and learn to interact with people and build an initial network of people that you have some measure of. Often t

San Francisco is not a peaceful place. And then some! Berkeley isn't either but more protected. Manageable and very student-oriented. Stanford is a different world (in a bewildering but great way for a student). The San Francisco Bay A

That's fair and interesting but I have always found this mentally demanding - to do deliberately. Which means this is hard to do for someone who is already in distress. Any pointers for how (distressed) people might practically go abou

It's a "might have to" - not very likely - in exchange for going house hunting every year just before lease renewal. That's a lot of work every year. But sure, it's a choice.

"4%" is very much in dispute. It's easy to get that by reading click-bait article titles, but the question is obviously more nuanced. "N%" works anywhere you don't have total chaos. Do you have many years of pl

Not everyone's purpose is their job. The question is more "will you be active, interested, fed, fulfilled, if you stop working?" Even "busy" is not a requirement.

Let's not go too far either. IF that happens, you can live in a too expensive, or not optimal location, or otherwise imperfect place for a few months or one year while you hunt for better.

These calculations do not commit you to a course. They are statistical reassurance. You can and should remain aware that you can course correct. For example, California weather and your friends might be your preference in San Francisco, but
