I don’t think that’s right. I’m pretty sure the idea is that a kugelblitz would be a black hole not a white hole?
873.
by drdeca 5y ago
No, I don’t think that makes sense? It would either just make a black hole, or, cause no issue?

Showing that X implies a contradiction is showing not X in intuitionistic/constructive logic, yes. However, you can’t show X by assuming not X and reaching a contradiction. By doing so you would only show not(not(X))

Can machines for extracting CO2 from the atmosphere have how hard they are running be ramped up and down quickly? Or do they just have a rate they work at, where changing how much one is doing would require changing how much machine there i

In what sense is it "dominated by negative numbers"? Half of the combinations of multiplying gives something positive and half gives something negative. That's balanced. If someone fails to count (+,-) and (-,+) separately, t

uh, (-1) * (-1) = 1 holds in any ring. If you have multiplication distributing over addition, then the product of (-1) and (-1) is 1 . It isn't an arbitrary choice.

I do agree that it probably makes sense to err on the side of being too quick to estimate that something is likely sapient than to err on the side of being too slow to do so. However, that doesn't make it impossible for a plan-producer

Huh, for some reason I seem to remember thinking that it was going to be about like, a model logic about erotic things or something, and I was wondering why anyone would design such a thing.

Just because something is AGI probably needn't imply that it is sapient. It might have no internal experience, no feeling of desire, only a utility function which it optimizes.

Whether an AGI should have rights depends on the specifics of the AGI. Being capable of acting in general environments, planning and taking actions in the world, etc. I think probably aren't in themselves enough for the agent to have m

I'm mostly not in favor of software or media piracy (though if it has been sufficiently long (not sure how long) since it has been commercially available, or a handful of other cases that don't come to mind right now, I think prob

You don't own the stuff on the shelves though? I agree that games that has been commercially available sometime in the last year shouldn't be pirated (and I'm not sure at what point in time after the last time it was commerci

I think the idea is "If everyone determined their actions as a function of the combination of their circumstances with their idiosyncratic wants, using the same function", where said function is assumed to be natural and not like,

It may be MIT legally or whatever, but calling it “MIT” could still be misleading when people expect “MIT” to refer to the research and education institution. Just because Facebook decided to rename itself (but not the website) “Meta” inste

by AGI do you just mean artificial general intelligence, as in, capable of composing plans and deriving conclusions and such about the world in general, doing all the same types of reasoning tasks that humans are capable of and which are al

they didn't mean that it was astounding that something of the form "xxx1 + xxxx3 = xxxx4" was in the training set, but that it managed to "learn the pattern".

I don't think it makes sense to talk about enforcing a smart contract with law enforcement. You could perhaps have a legal contract that goes along with the smart contract, and which refers to the smart contract, and this legal contrac

There are physical limits to computation. The number of orders of magnitude remaining, is not that large.

So like, a functional derivative of differentiation? Except like, instead of the 2nd order function returning a number, where the functional derivative would be ((R -> R) -> R) -> ((R -> R) -> R), uh, instead, the thing you g

Technically, rather than ignoring history and starting from before the hack, they added a nonstandard transaction (not generally allowed) which reversed the effects of the hack. This did not revert other transactions that happened after t

Seems like maybe it would have been good if the ERC-20 standard had been designed such that you couldn’t send the token to an address controlled by a smart contract unless the smart contract had marked itself as being able to receive that k

Secretary? I’m not really talking about an organization, I’m talking about an individual. A few hours of training is reasonable enough, I suppose? Seems like it might be simpler to just have whoever is responsible be liable for any problems

Depends on what "have a dedicated officer" entails? If it requires employing someone you wouldn't be otherwise, then, yes, I do think it is unreasonable to require that I hire someone if I am letting people give me an email a
