If something bad happened to a mostly empty Russian shadow tanker in the Gulf of Finland, that impact is going to be mostly confined to Russia. i.e. past the major Finnish and Estonian ports. As long as we're all playing silly only-ki

I've not been talking about the reconstruction filter at all during any step of this discussion . Reading your comment more carefully, it seems you were trying to. I'm saying that if you oversample, it's easier to get appro

Your comment is mutually contradictory-- what is it, a brick wall (impossible) analog filter or a more gentle rolloff as things fold over? What you really do, these days, is you sample at a higher frequency; you can have an exceptionally ge

Anything close to N/2 is going to have varying magnitude that requires filtering and likely oversampling to remove. How close to the Nyquist bandwidth you can get depends upon the quality of your filtering. 44.1KHz is a reasonable co

Lots of missions use radioisotopic heaters, where you don't bother with the thermocouples and just have the material get warm and protect components which are vulnerable to low temperatures. That's the main reason why spacecraft d

Chips are made in a semiconductor foundry / chip fab. Printed circuit boards are made at a printed circuit board manufacturer / "fab house."

The molecular GRI work in the 90s was really proof of concept work that showed you could maybe build something like this, not something that looked a decade from approval. From what I remember, the early work spun off free radicals, had th

It's always a decade away because the progress promised shows up, and it improves quality of life a bit, but isn't enough and is very expensive. We've gotten a variety of synthetic insulins with different rates that help cont

Absolutely deterministic latency isn't a requirement for the desktop like it is for industrial control. If 99% of the time performance is faster, and the remaining 1% of the time isn't that bad, most people will take the trade o

Aside from infant morality, don't forget the massive death load from things like accidental death, famine, and maternal mortality. E.g. from Wikipedia, female life expectancy from age 15 in Britain in the 1400-1500s century was 33 year

An open source LLM that is being used for inference can't "learn from or remember" interaction patterns. It can operate on what's in the context window, and that's it. As long as the actual packaging is just the mo

I use Linux on mine. It's a bummer that the magic to send over 2 eDP tiled at 5k resolution was never open-sourced, so you can only send 4k and it ends up slightly blurry.

SSL/TLS/etc are libraries, yes. And the certificate store is an OS service. Ancient software has trouble talking to modern services; modern services and devices don't want to fall back to speaking the old versions because of

Sure, even when outer loss is pretty close to zero, it's conceptually not great. On the other hand, I get 400mbps over TCP-over-TCP connections, and can't connect in any other reasonable way. 400mbps > 0. Even tunneling in UDP

by mlyle 2y ago
But, my connection speed is usually greater and my loss is much less to my VPN endpoint than to whatever services I am accessing though that endpoint. As a result it doesn't affect things much. Further, accessing it with UDP is not a

I'm not talking about towing being advertised as a feature. It's that choosing a vehicle based on something you need to do once every 5 years is not a great way to choose a vehicle. There's not even a single vehicle that I c

Sure. I'm not saying it's completely unreasonable. Here the person was saying "once in the entirety of your ownership". If it's really once in the vehicle's life, then you really should rent something else wh

by mlyle 2y ago
I disagree. I've never had a vehicle that does 100% of whatever I'd want a vehicle to do. At some point we need to make tradeoffs and accept that we'll either have limitations or need to solve some problems in a different w

Possibly, but the challenges to do so are immense. Using the sun as a giant gravitational lens seems much more tractable.

Oh, I think your TLDR was valid. I just don't think his response to AGI doom is adequate. If cheap, equal-to-human intelligence showed up tomorrow, it would be hugely disruptive to the social order.

I think there's plenty of scenarios where AGI causes doom that's short of extinction but still super bad. I don't know what the probability of these scenarios are. LLMs are remarkably incapable but still seem to be pretty eff
