That could be easily fixed by providing the AI with a constant stream of input. For humans, part of the input of the human mind comes from the continuous processes and clocks within the human body, so it’s questionable whether the brain cou

I’m not familiar with 50 First Dates , I was thinking of cases like Clive Wearing [0]. I would agree that consciousness requires some sort of ultra-short-term working memory, but I also think that mechanisms similar to CoT loops can concei

There are people whose brains don’t form new memories anymore after an accident or surgery, and they eternally live in the time before it happened, and have no memory of what happened a minute ago. Still they are conscious.

Regardless of the word we use, occasionally there have been times where I was awake but so absorbed in an activity or in my thoughts that I didn’t have a self-experience, for a certain duration (tenths of minutes). My mind was focused solel

What does that have to do with consciousness?

Why should we believe you?

Consciousness is moment to moment and fleeting. There are people with brain defects that don’t let them form new memories. They have no memory about what happened a minute ago in their own consciousness. Still we would say that they are con

While I agree that this is the case for many animals, I would say that consciousness and emotions are two largely orthogonal things. Certainly consciousness is conceivable without emotions, and having emotions without consciousness also see

This is already being discussed in https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48382052 , but the Science article is distorting the actual declaration, and hence the discussion.

Captchas are part of the traffic. ;)

Only for HTML content. Total traffic would have been surprising.

What do you mean by “control”?

It can be legal, but demonstrating the necessity is a significant bar.

Like SoftRAM? ;) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SoftRAM

What do you mean? RAM manufacturers shifting their capacities to server RAM and HBM is exactly what’s happening.

With China’s CXMT and YMTC it’s now going to be five again.

Also YMTC.

I have two originals, which is why I could make the comparison, but they are not in pristine condition like a new one would be.

It’s not a copilot, it’s an autopilot.

The plans are the input here, not the output. The AI prepares cost estimates. It isn’t responsible for what is getting built.

Maybe the next Windows update will change This PC back to MAI Computer. ;)

I’d pay that much, but alas.

If this uses similar parts as the HP-15C Collector’s Edition in 2023 (which seems likely), then be advised that it doesn’t match the quality of the original in terms of display, key feel, and key labeling (colors). The back side of the 15C

We rarely have preferences that are independent of the concrete use case. Your argument boils down to saying that existing precedence hierarchies are badly designed (or else they would always match everyone’s intuitions), but that’s not the

Well, you can have that now? Where is the problem?

My guess is that some commands are compatible because they behave the same on both systems when used without command line options, and the implementation can distinguish between DOS and Unix options.

A lot of tooling that generates or transform text-like files (e.g. XML) outputs native line endings, which in case of Windows is CRLF. Depending on what you do, it’s almost impossible to avoid that.

The development of Windows NT based on UCS-2 precedes the RFC by roughly a decade, and little-endian was the natural choice for the Intel PC platform. Obviously the endianness had to remain the same when UCS-2 was extended to support UTF-16
