There's no reason you couldn't just switch a couple valves out in your AC and perhaps change the refrigerant to make it into a serviceable heat pump. However, you'd need to retrofit controls/electronics, which I don'

It's kind of confusing terminology. I'll stick with how these terms are used by industry/laymen - heat pump also has a scientific definition that's more broad than how it's normally used. There's a process call

Hofstadter clearly isn't trying to peddle his books for money or clout. He writes in depth, thoughtful books about the nature of consciousness, not guides to making money off of AI. The book he mentions in this interview, I Am a Strang

Some of the photos were actually taken about a thousand feet from the zone where you were marked "correct". I clicked right on top of the dam for my fifth guess and it showed me being 0.2 miles off.

Transmission is expensive if you're running a line to somewhere without a lot of demand. Something like this could be a relevant solution for anything in remote locations.

Yeah, nothing really like that. That’s about containing a ball (/other shape) of gas in a vacuum. This is about creating a turbulent system that doesn’t propagate into nearby fluid. It’s as if you stirred up a bathtub, but there were o

I agree with you that it should apply to other unhealthy things and that the "NSFW" label is a misnomer. However, I have seen children smoking cigars (albeit cheap ones). Evidence suggests that they are doing so because they are i

Computational fluid dynamics is actually a problem where parallelization doesn't get you much. It is primarily limited by memory bandwidth.

It is really strange which drug-related subs are NSFW and which aren't. Like why not alcohol related subs? I think they probably all should be marked NSFW but it is weird.

I don't like either but they will never be equal in my mind. Person A sees someone torturing a dog and kills them out of indignation. Person B is a hitman-for-hire who doesn't know who he's killed or why. Are person A and B r

I think they're very different conflicts of interest from an ethical perspective. It is morally reprehensible to try to skew scientific results for greed. It is (in my view) not so morally reprehensible to try to skew scientific result

I'm not saying your wrong, but I think you should take a step back and consider how this sounds to someone who doesn't share your opinion. You're pretty much saying that, as long as you ignore the studies which you consider t

I think this gets at what I meant by "widespread use" - if the results of the AI are being put out into the world (outside of, say, a white paper), that's something that should be subject to scrutiny, even if only one person
