You're close but the idea gets much broader and extends to augmented intelligence as well. Once the brain is readable, it actually becomes easier to justify legal protections for augmented compute intelligence, ironically enough. The i

The point to posting anything is to share with your fellow kind new knowledge that lifts them, entertains them, or teaches them. If you post for ad revenue, I truly feel sorry for you. How sad.

Michelangelo had apprentices and assistants, many of which did a significant portion of the work. You could model him as the executive artist, directing the vision. Is this so different from prompting? Whose name is attached to all those

In ordering a meal from someone else who makes it, I think that the relationship is rather well defined. One person is asking another person to use their skills to make a meal. With AI, there is a vision and there is a tool executing it.

Dumping money into a company until desired results is not "building a company". I have nothing against capital, but the hubris of the people investing is insane. /s Look, sarcasm aside, for you and the many people who agree

How much of other people's tax dollars do you expect to spend to safeguard the bad purchases of land (soon to be water) owners? Rising sea levels aren't new, it's ancient. Buying coastal properties always carries risk. Socie

No, it actually doesn't. The system I am describing is not controllable by a state actor.

I didn't say any of this... There are methods to produce anon credentials without tying it to an identity, independent of any other credential claims. It doesn't leak any information at all. What are you on about?

Bitcoin doesn't need to be usable for small scale payments. That's what a payment processor is for.

We need a system for digital identity that can be confidently connected to a singular living organism. That identity acts as a sort of credential. With that credential, you can anonymously take online action that is untraceable to the ide

You may be overthinking it. It is simple. This world as it stands has no future, and is too stressful. It is incompatible with happy women. Unhappy women destroy this world. Not with war, but with apathy. Take away the passion to exist

I like this technique for prototyping and one-off circuits a lot. Thank you for sharing. I may throw together a similar device.

The cost came from the context size and repeated queries without changing context. It adds up fast. Using my own API tokens is effectively equivalent to "burn mode" when using Zed's subscription model. At the current pricing

The other day, I was repairing a raidz2 cluster. Power instability during a heavy / long term write operation caused problems resembling defective drives and corrupted metadata all over the drives. I came up with a strategy to repair

Look, I know it is hard for an ego to hear the things I say and the way I say them sometimes. For that, I am sorry. But I am not arguing with you, I am informing you. Challenging media empires was child's play compared to challenging

Let's regulate mathematics. No, it isn't enough...let's regulate physics itself. If we could just control when molecules are allowed to form, we could make it so mean molecules don't exist unless they're allowed t

That's the thing, fighting against kings and monarchs with a stranglehold on the colonies means you get invaded by a world superpower, right? Who would tolerate fighting for freedom if it means getting murdered? Such a short sighted

I do not see how to use this system. It just says what it is. The github also specifies a format but says nothing about usage, and neither do the Rust docs. How do I feed in a mesh or something and it outputs an algorithmically generated

Short answer: It is difficult because you aren't familiar with it, and your brain is still wired for memory-unsafe or GCed languages. But it is actually easier to read than most other languages when you understand it and how to navig

You get it off the ground the same way you get a calculator off the ground. You build it as an indispensable & obvious tool. You have to imagine the auxiliary applications that become possible with this model. Start with useful person

Your idea is the start of something I model as a "consent framework". Dialog boxes don't seem effective to me, but tracking your data does. Who accessed your data, and when? Who has permission to your "current" d

I am surprised to see this is using AES-GCM instead of XChaCha20-Poly1305 for its authenticated encryption scheme. The poor cats and dogs need special hardware for speedy encryption, and can't accidentally reuse nonces without catastro

Just to clarify, by wrong opinion, you are speaking to the "authority's" opinion of what right and wrong is, as opposed to the universe's objectively right and wrong? As in, anything that can realistically challenge an e

Except in the case of the arguments I make about nuclear, they were verifiably and very obviously correct. I would talk about the energy density of u235 nuclear reactions vs burning coal, the energy of a neutron vs the energy of photons, t

There must be some method to remove posts without informing a user and making it appear to them it is still visible, while making it invisible to everyone else (shadow removal), because that was the state all my posts related to nuclear pow

This is not true. When I was active on reddit, I advocated for nuclear energy using math and physics. One time, I wrote a comment calculating energy vs used land vs used infrastructure, including mining and logistics, to show how radically

The capped supply just makes bitcoin a no brainer. It is the first cryptocurrency, so it will always have value, even in a purely historical sense. This makes it brain-dead easy to justify owning some of it, which is a very favorable trai

The fixed supply / deflationary nature is actually less important than the method of minting. PoW demands massive energy & computational input, which can spontaneously arise without any human regulating authority. In other words,

There is a significant amount of ignorance and bad faith in your comment that I usually don't bother replying to people like you, but I am in a patient mood. Have you ever tried to transfer money, I don't know, ANYWHERE with the l

There are explicit and implicit aspects of connectivity. Explicit are things like racism, lineage requirements (like Ivy leagues asking if you have family that attended), etc. Implicit are things like growing up in poverty and not having th
