Those things you can do locally as well, you might just need an update from time to time to make new analyses available. At least unless they require doing statistics or whatnot on all the genomes they have.

Why do they build this Rube Goldberg system? Do consumers demand that they can access their data from everywhere so keeping it on some server is necessary? Do they need the data from everyone to do statistics on them? Is it related to selli

We still listened in on signals from the entire visible universe, but signals from further away are also from further back in time, so any aliens there would have had to develop earlier. But this also has an advantage, we could still hear f

Wolfenstein 3D is not a 3rd-person cover shooter. The dead giveaway is that it is 1st-person and that there are no things to take cover behind.

A minimum income should probably not be a fixed amount, there should be a true minimum at zero other income and the payment should decrease with increasing income but at a slower rate than the income increase. I guess that is essentially wh

Depends on the country, here there is some bottom welfare tier that will support everyone who is not eligible for support by higher tiers or other means.

In a certain way every country with taxes and good welfare system has an UBI, the difference is more of an implementation detail.

I can offer Russian statements spanning more than two decades consistently demanding that NATO stops expanding eastwards as evidence that this is what Russia cared about. What evidence do you have to the contrary? Why did they invade?
580.
by danbruc 3y ago
NATO did exactly what you suggest: at the request of Russians, shut the door to NATO for Georgia and Ukraine. Where do you get this interpretation from, honest question. In Bucharest 2008 France and Germany voiced opposition against a NAT

If NATO has no interest in Ukraine joining, then they could just have said no and avoided the entire mess.

by danbruc 3y ago
And NATO wanted it under their influence, I mean that is just the game of geopolitics.

The US government has warned Solomon Islands it will “respond accordingly” if its security agreement with China leads to a Chinese military presence in the Pacific island nation. Does the USA own Solomon Islands? It is just a reality that

Oh, so we're supposed to just listen and obey every dictator out there now? No, you can also go to war with them. The one side wants Ukraine in NATO, the other not, so there is a conflict. You can now either negotiate some compromise

by danbruc 3y ago
Forced is not true and I did not say that, Russia could also have decided not to invaded. I also did not say that Ukraine has no reasons to want to join NATO, they have and they most likely had them long before 2014. But none of that even a

Should have been more specific, can I run it on Linux or Windows and mess with the memory content? So why not? Because of dependencies on BareMetal or having to overcome the isolation build into the operating system it runs on top of.

wozmon.sh run will start Wozmon in a QEMU virtual machine. Does it also run without the virtual machine?

I doubt that having a -1 in the metric is the defining characteristic of a time dimension, I could have a static universe without time and still a -1 in the metric. As I said, I am not sure what truly makes time time, but the sign in the me

I am not so sure about the Dichronauts universe - he threw another -1 into the metric but particles still trace out world lines. That seems more like a wired geometry than two time dimensions but that is beyond me to properly judge, whether

Not necessarily. How and what we can think might be constraint by our brains or maybe even by the universe itself. I don't think any human can make sense of two time dimensions but it seem premature to me to conclude that no universe c

Sure, if the system is expressive enough, you can emulate other systems in it, you can build fuzzy logic on top of classical logic. Many worlds was just a random example which is not too far from the classical world. But can we not imagine

It would be prohibitively expensive to write those articles by hand.

by danbruc 3y ago
I agree with what you have said but have an additional worry. It seems to me that the standard logic we use might be heavily rooted in the real world. It either rains or doesn't rain seems to closely reflect how the classical world wor

The hard part is not picking a word, the hard part is correctly understanding what the thing is you are trying to name.

Look, you can not really take the position we don't have AGI, we don't know what it does, let's move quickly and not worry. If we don't know anything, then expecting good things to happen and therefore moving quickly is

For things like vaccines and antibiotics it seems much more likely that we use narrow AI that it is good at predicting the behavior of chemicals in the human body, I don't think anybody is really worried about that kind of AI. If you a

What is the value of moving quickly? What does it matter in the grand scheme of things whether it takes ten years more or less? And as said before, there is a possibility that we build something that we can not control and that acts against

Yes, we have often not been careful but that does not imply we are never careful and or should not be careful. Arguably we are getting more careful all the time. So just pointing out that we have not been careful in the past does not really
