Yeah, that website was horrid. I don’t know why someone would opt for a scrolljacking-based animation, let alone why they’d intersperse text boxes zooming around.

I don’t want that job.

For this purpose though, computation should be minimized to avoid spilling registers and having more complicated performance side effects than just the intended direct delay.

A few percent of it, probably. 150 kw is peanuts for grid power generation and desalination is fairly power hungry.

I use voip.ms, which gives full SIP for something like $4/mo / line. Their SMS/MMS bridge is a bit limited, but I really don’t use that, and otherwise I haven’t really run into any issues.

I've received I think two total spam calls in the years since I ported my cell number to a voip service and set up an IVR in front that just says to press any number. It also blocks the very, very few robocalls I might actually want, a

Is there a more ironic way to power a desalination plant?

I don’t think it’s possible to align incentives in favor of rolling out such a statement in the US without another coup.

I do think a lot of software would be much better if all devs were working on hardware that was midrange five years ago and over a flaky WiFi connection.

Only if we need to classify things near the boundary. If we make something that’s better at every test that we can devise than any human we can find, I think we can say that no reasonable definition of AGI would exclude it without actually

Wouldn’t the benefit be getting to still grow the crops that are now C3?

Isn’t rubisco also weirdly slow?

I'm having a hard time even picturing such a thing, but I have no doubt that Waymo could manage to operate them in cities across the nation, with sufficient re-training.

That they'll give you your money back after you call them on scamming you doesn't make them a reliable source.

You need to think bigger. Once we have separate lanes just for the waymos, we don't need them to be regular roadways. We can scale up the waymo even more and size the lane exactly to the vehicle, maybe even radically redesign the road

Well, clearly he should stick to physics. Even if it's likely that AI would replace them soon, a lot of people would likely die unnecessarily if we ran overly low on radiologists by ending the pipeline too soon. They're already ov

I thought that the main issue with tor was that so many of the exit nodes are actually the FBI.

Those goals are far less at odds than you seem to be implying.

I think you’ve misunderstood something somewhere in the conversation. Text notes and transcripts are useful. They are widely used and integrated into existing processes at probably every large company that’s producing them. You appear to be

We know for a fact that human level general intelligence can be achieved on a relatively modest power budget. A human brain runs on somewhere from about 20-100W, depending on how much of the rest of the body's metabolism you attribute

A company that could save millions by not having staff write up their own call notes almost surely is already doing that.

Have you tried in the last decade or two? Mullvad et al. are trivial.

I would be surprised if they weren’t. Incognito mode is for cleaning up cookies and browser history, not actual privacy.

Infrastructure like this is pretty much the textbook example of natural monopoly. We just need to decouple the tower infrastructure from the consumer service providers. And, of course, have actual privacy protections.
