How do you know? I know a lot about brains, I like brains and I am not certain that I can quantify the degree of suffering likely to be felt by an ant.

This is trivial. It's also borderline inhumane.

And this is different to QE in which way?

Dammit you appear to be correct.

It's almost exactly a rubber sheet with balls placed upon the surface. The weight of the balls creates depressions in the sheet. This is it really, except for two extra things: 1:When the balls are removed, the sheet slowly returns to

Exactly. I'm secretly thinking that some of the reason we have failed so far at general AI is we are coming at the problem from a western philosophical tradition :) Nice to meet you brother

Yay, someone with the sophistication required is working on this! As I've been thinking for a few years, intelligence is more about absorbing pattern from the world than it is about the deliberate process of constructing pattern from s

Economics similarly suffers. Economists are the priests of a science twisted into religion.

Not so long ago it was stated frequently and with certainty that there was no liquid water on Mars. That there could be no liquid water on Mars. Which having read into the topic I thought was obviously non sense. Now every one is like there

by dsfsdfd 11y ago
Hmm, I'm not so sure. For two reasons: If we assume that life naturally arises when light is shone at rocks for long enough then we might assume that life on mars would have an independent origin. However, this does not necessarily mea

For what it's worth I agree. Just because we understand that morality is relative and that we cannot expect to hold other species to our standards, this by no means invalidates our own stance. We have a right and a duty to pursue that

by dsfsdfd 11y ago
I disagree, the structure is inherently centralised. What you are describing is more centralised control as the fix for too much centralisation. Centralisation concentrates power, that power is always going to be manipulated and perverted b

How about we parse the html and css on the server, because, you know the user might have a browser with a slow rendering engine. Then we just ship them the images.

25/26 and I didn't recognise 1/4 of the tunes. It's harder when you don't know the tune, but it's possible to tell where the tune should be going.

It blows my mind how far people will go in order to protect the schema which they use to interpret the world. Take a look at yourself, you are bending over backwards attempting to dispute something which is unbelievably obviously true. Unbe

yeah, I remember dasher. Quite effective and pretty fun - agree a mashup of eyetracking and dasher could be worthwhile.

Tip of the iceberg. Beyond a shadow of a doubt my ass.

I agree that there appears to be a qualitative difference. But that does not necessarily mean that there is a difference between the fundamental architecture of the two systems. It may simply be that the objective function operating over th

There is no effective model for society. We cannot describe it in terms that allow us to predict it's behaviour. We are therefore doomed to a stumbling random walk through a phase space littered with nightmare scenarios. We need a tool

Totally agree. But I would add that the amount of research that has gone into this topic is woeful. As far as I can discern there is no consensus among the scientific community as to the pros and cons of each paradigm. I suspect there is po

Omfg. That argument metaphorically fell of a cliff in the second sentence. I'm lolling. Dude, you need to have a think about the whole racism thing.

It's amazing how difficult it is to convince people of the ludicrously obvious.

Because it looks to me like the stock market has a tendency to follow an exponential curve - or at least a high degree polynomial. I also believe that to a certain extent the stock market is bound to the real world and in the real world gro
