Rogue AI doesn't worry me, because the good guys will have non-rogue AI that seeks out and destroys rogue AI. There are far more good guys in the world than bad guys. Look at email for an example. 99% of people use it for it's int

Maybe it is exactly the Buddhist way? OP has been a monk for 15 years, so I imagine he's fairly deep in it.

tl;dr: Ecology Transportation Services is going to use it as a dumping ground for concrete, rock, rubble, and other non-bio-hazard waste.

Light travels at ~0.8C through fiber optics, whereas it travels at very close to C through the atmosphere and C in space. You need to make up for the extra ~200 miles going up and down, as well as the extra curvature of the satellites orbit

Slightly on topic, but could Elon turn starlink into a giant arbitrage opportunity? Once satellite - satellite laser links are up, it could be the quickest link between say NYC and Tokyo

I agree completely, but another good way of preventing crime is to remove habitual criminals from the space. Cameras can help do that by providing evidence of their crimes for their removal.

If that were the case, droves of drivers would just head to the airport to relax in their car and watch youtube videos. It would require uber to actually tell drivers where to go, which it doesn't do right now. Basically, completely ch

The article claims that the evidence security cameras reduces crime is debatable, but the linked article is merely whether the presence of cameras reduces crime. A more important, direct effect of the cameras would be helping evict criminal

Missiles which may come down in a multiple thousand square mile area(if lucky) are generally not considered useful.

Do we really need windows? Yes, I'm channeling my inner Munger. We could have simulated windows, and as long as the HVAC is good I think a lot of people would live in a place like that, especially if those apartments sold at a discount

No, I'm not reading it like that. You clearly say that the inventor didn't think of nefarious people, not that he was one.

by oh_sigh 3y ago
This is such a ludicrous comment chain. The tone was clearly negative. You said you said you wanted to have a chat "about needing to envision longer term visions for how nefarious people can be".

Well, Cambridge Analytica has been disbanded since 2018 so there would be little use in banning it.

Well, the calf would have spent 22 months in the uterus of the mother, and passed through the mother's birth canal. I suspect anything spending that much time there would smell approximately similar. Also, I find it unlikely that the e

Well, maybe the observer effect comes into play, but they don't directly, actively impact safety in the manner that backup cameras do.

Aren't long term fixed interest mortgages basically unheard of in Canada though? Having portability with your mortgage would only really benefit people with fixed interest rates lower than the prevailing interest rate.

The simple answer is that backup cameras are required by regulation for safety, whereas dashcams don't increase safety.

Why does the US have higher depression rates than any country in Africa then? Aren't there a lot of people there under financial stress?

Those are the necessary pre and post processing steps that you need to compute outside of the FRACTRAN system for the fibonacci example from the article. If you could do those steps the entire process would be self contained, which you shou

Well, we could just euthanize the mammoth. These concerns didn't stop us from cloning dolly, or doing hundreds of other genetic experiments. Or millions of other instances of animal testing.

Has anyone made attempts at writing FRACTRAN programs which would calculate `78 * 5^(x - 1)` and `2^x`?

Yes, and from being somewhat familiar with the behavior of elephants. I'm not saying my hunch has any basis to it, but if I was thinking about investing in Colossal Biosciences, calf rejection from the birth mother would be very low on

Sure - I was just providing the link so one could see what a wooly mammoth calf might look like. Elephants are extremely bonded and very caring of their/their group's young, they take care of sick or injured elephants in their gro

A wooly mammoth calf will look similar enough to an elephant calf that this would not be an issue. https://www.theguardian.com/science/2021/sep/13/firm-bring-b...

Galileo didn't have evidence of his theory? Surely he had a little and didn't just pull it out of thin air. How much evidence was there for the Ptolemaic system?
