Not true. "Xfinity Home, dim the bathroom lights to 40%" "Youtube Yuri Gagarin" Are both things it knows how to execute.

It is disgusting that it is part of science or physics. It IS a meme. It's a topic for philosophy and scifi, not science. It is not scientific. If someone can make it scientific great! But Bostrom and Bayesian arguments are not doing s

Not saying you are wrong but I learned to ride a bike by watching my classmates be taught in preschool. Maybe direct acting is a quicker learning method. Or maybe seeing others' learning processes and instructions allows one to leapfro

The wavefunction is nonlocal. But if it's a complete descriptions of reality, it still provides no way to communicate FTL, and there really is baked-in randomness. This is because local measurement outcomes on half an entangled pair, w

What about Dirac's words ~ there being a fundamental size where any experiment will disturb the subject non negligibly, thus science can never speak causally prior to quantum measurements. This has little to do with humans. The photon

Why have so many hypotheses failed when it comes to the mind? We understand quantum scale effects and measure and predict them to 17 decimals places of precision. How can we not know what is going on in the brain? We know what is going on i

A large portion of HN takes too literal a definition of censorship and misinformation, this thread included. This leads to shortsighted and misplaced anger. And importantly, the largest powers will sidestep your lashings out/solutions.

If you can map non-linear eq's to linear, i.e. Schrodinger eq, doesn't that dramatically reduce computation required? Non-linearity is necessary for chaos. This seems like a big deal to an layman like me. I don't know how i

YouTube gets to make the call. That's the difference between it and the CCP. If they are losing money to wasting bandwidth on unadvertisable content, why shouldn't they be able to decide to drop it? Ironically, I'd say your a

Is it the method of teaching really? Or is it that good-enough, quickest to market, and diverse programs often win in a capitalistic market? Capitalism is all about finding new opportunities. Nothing is static. Pedagogy or otherwise.

With this type of direct mind control ruled out they just use propaganda instead. You know the depths they will go to, the type people they will employ, their ability to evade oversight, and the power the have at their disposal. Now what? J

At least we got something useful out of the ACA rather than just tax cuts for the wealthy and political points. "All taxpayer income groups with incomes of $75,000 and under — that’s about 65 percent of taxpayers — will face a higher t

So HN can't remove posts either because that violates free speech? I grew up on the internet too and forum bans were always a thing. You haven't convinced me this is different.
