Discontent over this implementation detail shows users are fully sold on the basic idea. Like, if the main complaint about the first Fords was the colour range.

The law can turn out to be different from what everyone thought. A higher court can reverse it. Even in the highest court, stating the definitive law, justices often dissent. So the idea that the law actually exists, and we just have to fin

Sorry, too harsh, I should have said: "We can argue for animal intelligence but they can't argue for ours.

You can argue for animal intelligence but they can't argue for yours. Humans are also found to be more complex/intelligent/sophisticated than was thought, given AI goalpost moving.

Wouldn't the most dangerous trajectories be the hardest to observe? Of those 1.2 million orbits, how many are dangerous?

The maximum complexity increases, but the average complexity? Bacteria outnumber us. It's more that it diffuses evenly rather than having a specific direction.

Yep, and they used to be measured in microns. e.g. the Z80 used the 4 μm process node https://wikipedia.org/wiki/Zilog_Z80 1000nm = 1μm Next smallest is picometers, 1000pm = 1nm

To find a needle in a haystack, looking at each straw needs to be a really cheap operation. Even if it was right there the whole time. "cheap and powerful enough that individual researchers can muck around with it at home" seem

Thanks! I think I now recognize this from Spivak (Calculus), where much of the teaching is literally in the exercises. You are guided along, deriving/proving many things along the way, some incidental, some cumulative. (There's al

Since nm are Now Marketing, unrelated to physical dimension, how consequential is this node shrink? It must have passed some threshold to justify new factories - what was it?

Isn't this the standard automation trajectory, of lower level work being done by machines, leaving humans to do the higher level work? Summarizing is a step before generalizing/inferring/what-if/creating. Even for knowl

I like the idea that iteration is faster , for people learning to manage AI vs people.

AI improves faster than economies adapt. A singularity? Present LLMs are glorified search. As they approach real-time training, Google will go away, finally disrupted. (Google's 20% time was meant to avoid this very thing, but you need

Emblems of "newness", like coolness, lose that quality pretty quickly. Even post-modern is old hat. What currently connotes newness? Or is the present age so dystopian and pessimistic that we lack one?

Could you elaborate on this please: "the exercises guide you to "invent" the important parts of the theory." BTW: I think time not doing exercises is just as important; it's when your mind tries to piece together

Frail and inactive. Correlation? Causality? Direction? In a study, post-menopausal women weight-trained, giving 40% increase in bone density. The inactivity of "retirement" kills. Use ^ lose.
