This is basically just a misunderstanding. There are multiple overlapping effects. Most of the 'hard' numbers for claims along those lines come from the flicker fusion frequency [0] around 50 Hz or so, which means that a video rec

1) Please tell me what you want me to read that has any impact on the point I'm making. I've read enough to make clear arguments about the parts of the paper relevant to my comment. Reminder: The original comment that I reacted t

They have no idea, which is why the predicted dynamics are nonsense. They actually have dates on their x axes, you can't do that and then claim it's all just qualitative arguments. World oil consumption is not growing exponentiall

Look at their plots, they show it running out... Right about now. When in reality oil is most likely to last longer than us using it. If any of this was true you'd see commodity prices spiking across the board. And even if that happene

Yeah, I don't know about that. Most people for whom I know that, myself included, wrote their dissertations in Word. It's fine. Yes, float placement in Word can be tricky. It can be tricky in latex too. I'm not saying it&#x27

This is all completely untrue in general. There are many fields in which you'll be the annoying weirdo who tries to force their tools on others if you insist on using latex. For example, Nature is so kind as to accept final submissions

All of your other replies assume the AI has intentions of its own, which isn't a necessary component of AGI. The plausible scenario if you ask me is that humans put it in charge of their company, with the explicit goal of improving the

How can you trace a loop unless it involves someone reading and reporting the serial number? Do you have some more information to read about how paper money flows are traced?

It's just about what kind of code you write. If you write a lot of code that parallelizes over data you will hurt all the time because of the GIL. If you have worker processes that do something on the CPU, and the results need to be co

I agree with you that what I'm saying is that maths is ultimately a kind of language that we use to describe the world. I wouldn't agree with calling it "just" language or "like English". It's different in

It starts with the power users. GPT4 has certainly had a big impact on my Google searches. For example, all my tech support searches are now GPT4. Those are painful on Google. There's no need to verify with a Google search, since you c

We'll need to remove CO_2 from the atmosphere on a massive scale. Both the low and intermediate IPCC scenarios, SSP1-2.6 and SSP- 2-4.5, rely on it. It will be essential to keep our planet recognizable by 2100. Luckily the jittery&#x2F

Working in science is different from working in other fields in that you work with things that are not well known, where a lot is unclear and your job is to move information out of this murky regime out into the light. This means it's
