Thank you for the thoughtful response. At the first read I was like everything looks reasonably correct. However you present the doom argument as being dividing and causing the race, when in fact is probably the only argument for cooperatio

And about this second comment, I agree that intelligence is bounded. We can discuss how much more intelligence is theoretically possible, but even if limit ourselves to extrapolation from human variance (agency of musk, math smart of von ne

I apologize for the tone of my comment, but this is how I read your arguments (I was a little drunk at the time): 1. future AI cannot be infinitely intelligent, therefore AI is safe But even with our level of intelligence, if we get serious

soo many things make no sense in this comment that I feel like 20% chance this a mid quality gpt. and so much interpolation effort, but starting from hearsay instead of primary sources. then the threads stop just before seeing the contradic

Are there comparisons if is faster for beginners to learn to play on a isomorphic instrument?

16% is just a way of saying one in six chances

20 years ago when I was learning to swim by myself (spoiler: i still do not swim) I had the intuition that a movement like this would work. I actually felt it in muscles, not sure how to better explain it. Very similar to preparing for a c

At a minimum we should start from something captured close the reality, and then get creative from that point.. SDR is like black-and-white movies (not quite, but close). We can get creative with it, but can we just see the original natural

Looking at the paper, I don't see any higher dimensions of the parent universe, it is still using the same 4D General relativity framework for the parent.

Many ppl are good at convincing other ppl that they think, but also many fail at thinking and many fail at convincing.

Well, at the minimum he writes more code and is more competent than me, so he has my respect and I take his opinions into consideration.

Not sure what to make of this. The only relation with the hydrogen atom is that it has the name "Hydrogen" in the code. And the only relation with the energy is that is has a float value called "energy_gap" which has som

For GPS, I start by looking at the overall route, and compare with potential alternatives. Then during the driving the GPS just manages the local details, I still have some understanding and agency over where to go and how to get there.

My small victory is to set the tv on a wider color space, and so make youtube more vivid. 5% of things will look a little strange, but the majority looks more beautiful. Note you actually need a modern tv with a REAL wide color space.

What do you think Putin will do in year after a peace? What do you think Putin will do after taking over Ukraine? This is also a form of realism, to think what will happen in the future.

I notice I am confused how the code needed for the GPU to sleep was implemented. It was failing when simply saving/copying gigabytes of flat memory, but on the other hand it was able to recover successfully the previous complex hw and

"even a robot, who is super-good at everything, would still benefit from trading with a bunch of super-dumb humans, who suck at everything." Yeah, just like humans trade with monkeys, and even with ants.

You mean you only need better bows to conquer the world? What about millions of warriors already trained in battles and already winning against the biggest and most competent military force in that world (China) after hundreds of years iter

Lol, in the Web3 case, "take over the world" was only a metaphor. This is a big difference for AI.

A couple of years ago I learned it is possible to create glucose directly from solar power. The estimates from the authors of the paper were that earth could feed 1 trillion ppl this way.

What's with the beef? In the paper Terence describes how he currently uses some imperfect but useful tools, which will surely change in the future if better tools appear. It does not say "LLM will be smarter than a kid bwahaha wor
