It reminds me of some talk I had the chance to come across, I can’t remember which one. Sleep could be a training phase. Discerning whether inputs come from the real world or from the trained neural network itself would be the reward functi

In your cube example you are using the word "vector" to refer to faces of the cube. Did you mean matrix? My understanding is that the cube is a rank 3 tensor, the faces (or rather slices) of the cube are rank 2 tensors (aka matric

SpaceX saying that SpaceX did nothing wrong is a start, but it would be nice to get the same kind of refutation from more independent sources.

I was very happy to see a new video from him. It has been ages. I highly recommend the one debunking the magic trick with the card, the glass and the monkey. As you said, it’s much more than a debunk, he even went to the place where it was

What is it you suggest we can change with chemistry? Is it boredom? Are you suggesting we can keep enjoying the things we are bored with thanks to LSD or something? So, a childless world with centuries-old people drowning there boredom in d

Being old is not limited to how you look. It’s also how your world views change, how your personality evolves, etc. Also you didn’t address my almost-no-children point. That one I think is the stronger point. Looking at my children grow old

Do you know about exponential growth? If birth and death rates are not about the same, it means the population will double every X years. You’ll need a major breakthrough in food production every X years. For ever. Even if we achieve that,

Well we know that the physical brain is the support of mental abilities, because brain damage causes loss of abilities. It’s very reasonable to assume that you can’t be conscious without your brain.

"Solving death" won’t help humanity. Isn’t that obvious to you?? For a starter, birth rates and death rates should be about the same otherwise it’s not sustainable. If you "solve death", birth rates will need to drop a l

Note that one of Elon's goal with the whole hyperloop nonsense was precisely to divert investment from high-speed rail so that it wouldn't compete with "full self driving" cars.

Being weak vs Putin is what will start ww3. Same with Hitler, no amount of appeasing could have prevented ww2. Not letting Hitler build up his military (which wasn’t allowed by ww1 peace treaties) and annexe foreign land is what could have

Are you saying the two parties are equally to blame? It seems to me that one party is trying to turn the US into a dictatorship while the other is trying to prevent that to happen, and failing.

You seem to define right and wrong in terms of winners and loosers at the game of life. If you survive, you’re right? No matter what you do, the end justify the means? Is that what you’re saying?
