Thanks for taking the time to put up that list

And as Searle responded to that argument you are bamboozling yourself with speed. There is nothing that prove that accelerating the computation to a given speed that will make the consciousness emerge.

I attribute a subjective experience to the journalist on the basis of similarity with me. No need for "the output", I would do that with someone who can't talk or write too. From where my own subjective experience come from a

This is a perfect solution fallacy, it's very improbable for the vast majority of burglaries, just don't write "HERE IS MY SEED FOR CRYPTO $$$" on it. An exchange going bankrupt, hacked, or losing access to your account

Why not just write it on a piece of paper, and maybe put a copy in a safe if you want to be ultra secure? I've been doing that for nearly a decade without a single issue. Or if you are a bit more technical just an encrypted text file?

> Seems like a journalist is conscious if they do it, but it can’t possible be consciousness if LaMDA does it. That the output is the same proves nothing. The journalist has a subjective experience of themselves doing it, they "see&

Yes. Also that we don't know how to approach that scientifically (yet?) does not make that experience disappear.

Are you sure you really understand mining and the different algorithms used by the different cryptos? You don’t learn sha256 by putting a GPU rig that was only a transition between original CPU mining in the beginning and current ASICS mini

For learning why bother with a very inefficient GPU, just mine with the CPU or better with pen and paper: https://hackaday.com/2014/09/29/mining-bitcoins-with-pencil-...

I had a setup like this back in 2013 and it worked very well, mining profitability changed everyday between altcoins.

Regarding b) this is irrelevant to the stock market which is a secondary market used mostly for speculation. Trading company stock after IPO and not for active governance has no impact on the company itself and the economy. Company results

In recent years I have not seen it scheduled then delayed, only there was a long roadmap where progress was slow but ongoing, development is very transparent. And now that it’s ready and that the merge already happened in testnets it really

Sure I understand regarding the protections. But regarding the nature of the investments by themselves in don't find the difference meaningful enough to earn the label "truly degenerate trading strategies with investor funds.&quot

In theory maybe, in practice I don't find speculation on financial products any more substantial, like stocks where they are not owned with aims regarding dividends or the governance of the company (which is the point of a stock) but o

Regarding the investment part (not the marketing or insurances obv.) how is that different from what an investment bank does when it invest in long term products? If the funds are in e.g. long term bonds, real estate, mortgages... the inves

It's only for new cars and in 2035, buyers have 12 years to see it coming and make informed decisions during that period.

> I hate the idea of sitting in cash with a guaranteed negative real rate of return of about -10% per year, even if it’s for a short period of time. I would not be surprised to see equities doing worse than -10%. Sometimes there are no g

You also have cities on the coasts (especially west) with weather very compatible with biking. Also no need to tear everything down, just add a few floors and shops at the ground level on existing houses, with maybe larger sidewalks. As lon

While I agree with the first part I don't see what it would change for the second: what is happening with Celsius is a good old bank run, and they have only like 10% liquid reserves. How long would it take to a well regulated bank be a

Now that you bring it’s maybe a cultural difference because I can’t really remember the last time I saw or heard a pun on a politician name in the news, even of opposite sides. Making fun of someone family name is of very poor taste and is

What I find offensive is indeed the rhyming without consideration of what it means in the source language. I find myself not too sensitive or PC, if my name was “Lecoq” (or if I had an Asian friend named “Phuk”) I would of course find it ok

Is it okay to publicly joke on someone’s name in the US? Didn’t Basecamp got criticism for not even public and mostly English sounding name jokes a few months ago? I find this quite offensive to do this to a foreigner with a non English sou

These vibrant ecosystems flourished where people spent most of their day. It could be a huge win if they finally migrate to residential neighborhoods, where people will now be more present.

In short it’s a bad manager. Another case of someone being successful at something (here investing) being deluded they are a universal genius.

> Or why does a crypto exchange like Coinbase need 5,000 employees? Because in many tech software companies there are also 5,000 employees, who are bored and over-engineered current tooling and best practices. It’s self perpetuating.

Thanks for the reference. For me it was not Stargate but a recent popular Sci-fi book.

Yeah, there is no such thing as migration, Reddit is reddit.com. Yes the new interface is awful, buggy, etc... But that's what Reddit is. The majority of Reddit users only know the new interface. Can you use old.facebook.com or old.you

No, all we know is they pushed a button to destroy $9B of Tether, just as they were "printed" in the first place. It says nothing about the transactions behind. From their infamous pie chart their cash reserves are very small (cor
