I tried to do this when LinkedIn forced me to upload an ID. It didn't work unfortunately. I see the good in this but I know it will be abused. I want to run away but I don't foresee any way that the powers-that-be will let the com

Which ones are you going to? 90% of what is in a grocery store is pre-packaged processed food. In fact, many grocery stores are starting to sell clothes. The produce sections are small compared to the aisles and aisles of boxed foods, froze

The problem is taxes. Different items can be taxed differently. Itemized receipts are a must from the get-go unless you want to explain to the government that you underpaid them because you charge within a 10% error-margin.

Yeah, the model only makes sense with an infinite length tape. I only mention it because many commenters get stuck on the word 'infinite' without realizing how inconsequential it is.

To your point, Turing's paper 'On Computable Numbers' doesn't even mention the length of the tape. He doesn't specify that it must be infinite at all.

There was a time when source code was shared in magazines and someone had to manually write the source by copying from the magazine.

Everything is monolithic by accident. Source code used to be able to be shared and compiled directly with little effort. Now we have created tools to create entire systems dedicated to running source code. We have literally codified a poorl

Firefox shows literal advertisements in the “new tab” window. I recently started using Firefox again because I was told I was being “ridiculous” when I said Firefox shows me literal advertisements. And then I get this pop-up on a window whi

It depends on the books I am reading. I get the most out of philosophy and learning books when I actively engage with the text with responses in kind. But when I am reading mind candy? No, I don’t write back.

Observation changes the thing being observed. Having a measurement of it allows you to find the measure lacking.

Yeah, that’s probably true. I only use 3 levels of headers on my website.

When on an iPhone and viewing a “live photo”, you can hold down on the screen and the image turns into a short video leading up to the moment of the photo.

People don’t know what they are like at equilibrium, so when something affects them they do not know the source. By constantly filling your self, you cannot be sure of the source. When filling yourself of podcasts, of food, of low-entropy w

Not dubious, I just read your comment and it felt like I was reading satire. Even the cadence of your words felt funny. Anyway, I’m not surprised. It’s a new market, everyone’s in on it.

There’s no difference between hardware and software when it comes to running a program, really. They are both machines at the end of the day.

I was talking about attempts such as expert systems. We attempted to symbolically encode things as sums of their parts in plain terms, e.g. a bicycle is two wheels, an axle, a chain, some peddles, etc. but in more detail than that. The prob

Alignment doesn’t matter. Humanity is attempting to build artificial intelligence and so it will be done.

My point is that a superintelligence will require specialized equipment. I specifically mentioned it because there is a thought that a superintelligence can just replicate itself onto your phone, as you mentioned. But this replication must
