You're talking about a different scenario. I'm talking about continuous inflow and outflow. Where outflow is processing (fixed rate) and inflow is traffic (variable). This is the classic assumption. In this state the space used in

AS I said in the other post I am talking about the average and most likely use case. a flat and continuous rate of data processing and varied rates of data production. Spiking the processing is not what people think about with queues and is

This example suffers from the same problem as the other counter examples. Why are you deliberately slowing down the processing to only happen at 2ms intervals? If you have continuous processing the queue will be empty always assuming proces

My comfort is a measure of business aversion to risk. It depends on the business of our respective industries. Either way you have admitted that you tuned the system to operate with an acceptance of risk. Likely for cost reasons. This is fi

No. That is not what I'm saying. I'm saying on average queues must be empty most of the time. And if you are seeing queues that are filled most of the time, your entire system is operating on the border of failure. This is true ev

Wrong. Your thinking is where the nuance is lacking. As I said you need to think of the system in terms of it's derivative. The rate of data consumed must on average be faster then the production. The net difference of these rates must

He's right. You guys need to see the system in terms of it's derivative. The rate of speed in which data is produced and consumed. This article is saying you basically want an average negative velocity where consumers eat data fas

Wrong. They should. Any queue that fills up, say halfway, is an indication the system is in a precarious state. Its simple. Queues have limited space if the velocity of data going in is faster then data going out the queue will fill up unti

Personally I think Hofstadter was a bit too enamored with recursion. I don't think it's some marker of consciousness. I'm not saying chatGPT isnt an aspect of consciousness (I don't know).

The consistency arises from the fact that even though we don't know the definition, we are in agreement in what is classified as conscious. We agree that humans are conscious, we agree that rocks are not conscious. This classification

If Hosfadter is correct, then chatGPT already fits that definition. https://www.engraved.blog/building-a-virtual-machine-inside/ Read to the ending where it closes the recursive loop.

Completely agreed. There are flaws. But there are times where the output appears that it cannot anything else other then complete understanding of what was given to it as input.
