It doesn't; it's just there because Disney has enough power to make it so.

If the files you are fuzzing are small, then you could just create a couple of gigs of tmpfs ramdisk with something like "mount -t tmpfs -o size=2G none /mnt/somewhere" and put your fuzz directory on there. Then the impr

It feels like elements of that split was always there. You have, on the one hand, very practical engineering cybernetics, what's standard control theory now (PID, optimal linear control, impulse responses and transfer functions, and so

Doesn't that kind of reasoning lead you down a path towards panpsychism or panexperientialism? Either there is a phase transition of consciousness or there is not. If there is, we have no idea where it is because we can't prove th

Another way to put it: the experience is real, but it might be misleading. A hallucination is an experience of something that doesn't exist, but the experience itself does.

It's a matter of feedback, really. It doesn't matter if a government is selected by the people if the government can control the people more effectively than the people can control the government. If the company holds very infrequ

It appears to be saying "authoritarian governments can use both direct persuasion and faceless persuasion. Democracies can't use the former, and can't use the latter unless they allow themselves to by the methods shown here.&

Maybe something like YINSH ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/YINSH ) would be a better counter-example. To pull off the win, you have to deliberately weaken yourself in the endgame, at which point others can catch up to yo

That said, some places with material comforts are more fair than others. Consider e.g. the Nordics vs somewhere like South Africa.

At some point, ethics becomes axiomatic. You can't deductively derive what you ought to be doing from how the world works. All you can do is try to make the axioms as few and as (seemingly) obvious as possible. If you're a hedonis

That's not a problem exclusive to conventional currency. Consider the ETH rollback. That people mostly prefer Ethereum to Ethereum Classic also shows that they don't find this need for trust to be a problem.

In that case, how about the opposite strategy? Take your own picture and a GAN with a latent space feature (i.e. a thispersondoesnotexist that lets you decide age, gender, etc.). Then set the parameters so that you get a picture of yourself

That's a nice variation on the theme of Lovecraftian fiction. Not just that delving too deeply into the truth of the universe will make you insane, but that it's far too easy to get there unless you're actively being manipula

Is meta opponent modeling? Then it would make sense that it becomes non-deciding when skill level differs - chess engines don't bother with it at all and just aim to destroy the opponent through sheer strength of play.

Presumably the whole thing would have to be tamper-resistant. Try to get to the CCD and it fries itself. And sticking a monitor in front of the camera probably wouldn't work, at least if telesync/cam rips are anything to go by :)
