Could such a statement be tested? What are the parts of string theory that are unique to it and not just invariants that apply to a large basket of theories?

There is no such thing as a scarcity-free society of humans. Who gets to be king? Who mates with who? Who is friends with who? Who is the Biggest Fan of <celebrity>? Social graphs have scarcity built-in. Time, attention, and influence

Great article. I especially liked the comparison of float32 to float64. I had no idea it was as large as a 10x improvement in a simple case like the one demonstrated. * Elapsed (secs) * CPU instructions (G) * Cache misses (M) * float64 : 4.

I’m excited for what this could mean for undervalued IP like StarCraft and Diablo.

I have heard that ASML has a monopoly on EUV, which is required to make the highest-end semiconductors. Are the semiconductors used in high-end memory also bottle-necked by ASML's EUV machines? Pardon my ignorance.

There is a lot more on the current website than that sentence and the clouds.

What an articulate description of your views. Thank you! I know it was only a subset of your comment, but I’m very curious how an expiring subcurrency would function in an real economy. How would you propose regulations work for a food cred

Interesting take. I’m not sure many would agree with you. Care to expand or point us somewhere where your ideas are expanded?

This comment is downvoted, but he raises a valid point aside from the scare quotes. How exactly will it work?

Wow, that’s amazing. I’ll definitely try it out. Do you know if there is any built-in functionality related to data compression or data loaders?

How would this compare to loading a sqlite database into memory and performing queries with it?

Why are you so confident in this hypothesis? Did you create the game? It is not at all clear that every hypothetical AGI would do as you say. It’s fiction. Anything can happen. In fact, this AGI almost definitely wouldn’t accept the simul

You two are using different definitions of outsider. Parent is saying “one who has been labeled as other” and you are saying “a brand new entrant”.

Downstream implications are less important in some fields than others. Can you present an argument for your case that downstream implications in design are about as important as they are in databases instead of appeal to imaginary authority

You're trying to prove some kind of point where you respond as ELIZA would have to show how "even back then we could pass for conversation". The truth is that GPT-3 is actually, totally qualitatively different and if you play
