What is simpler: making logical circuit "A" or making a circuit that emulates logical circuit "A" and its relatives?

One thought about AI. Testing for correct answers is not a useful metric for AI. People can learn something that is wrong as easily as something that is "less wrong", as long as it makes sense. Sometimes things that are very counterintuitive are proven correct, and our intellect has to kind of reason a way to believe it.

Also, AI doesn't need to be "human" to be very useful. The argument of birds vs. planes comes to mind.

But who gets to decide who that person is? Back to square one.

I urge you to research how much cash and investments Apple currently holds. Last year it was around 200B.

Yes, Apple Silicon is innovation. But is a drop in the bucket. A sense of scale is very important.

Many? To the shareholders it is. But as a consumer I prefer innovation and not money hoarding. Shareholders think otherwise.

Value for who? No innovation, just hoarding massive profits. Quintupled stock price for shareholders.

The Chicago Pile was fission. ChatGPT is not intelligence.

How do you know they are very good?

A virus has data. Is it alive?

Aesthetics don't matter. Being able to route multi layer boards matter.

Is there any data about long term effects?

Retinal damage is not the only kind of damage the eye can be subjected to. The cornea has no blood flow to cool itself and is fully exposed to incoming radiation.

We can stare at a burning campfire and barely get damaged. Long term exposure is another thing. The emitter power would have to be insanely high, or some kind of laser.

It is pretty simple. Either they will be single forever or find a sucker to marry them.

These women are unrealistic. As they get older their requirements for a man go up instead of going down. They think a man with wealth and options is going to choose them instead of a younger woman. It is pretty sad really.

As an asian man who has traveled to LATAM and the US, I am not surprised. American women are super entitled, hard to approach and borderline delusional when selecting men. It is never enough for them. They are hard to approach, judgy and sincerely just a pain in the ass. Women in LATAM for example are a thousand times sweeter, more feminine and approachable.

These calculations are always bogus. Once mining starts, the price of iron will plummet. The exact same reason some reserves are seldom explored, as the decline in price will render the effort pointless.

I'm not sure what to tell you. It is chemistry of the battery itself..

And you really believe that at face value? What drives the algorithm is profits. If it profits from pushing you into a bubble at the cost of shaping your world view, it will.

>>U.S. Patent No. 11,230,000 and other Patents Pending.

Curious about the claims on that patent. Robotics is already hard enough, I'm sure it will become easier with people suing each other because "you copied my wheeled robot with an arm attached to it!".

Ramanujan was an anomaly. What do we learn from someone like him? Can we reproduce it? Should we aspire to reproduce it? Or will it cause more harm than not?

Precision is a marvelous thing. Every detail must be accounted for. I remember reading a brochure about surface plates (a reference of flatness), and the body heat of the person handling it would be accounted for.

Direct energy weapon to compromise reentry integrity appears feasible.

Be careful not to miss the forest for the trees. Thinking in higher level is as important as thinking at low level.

Simply care for others.

In a conversation don't ask dumb things for the sake of giving a response.

People are committing time and energy into socializing. Respect that. And if people don't respect your time then dump them. There is nothing wrong with that.

Don't make yourself a search engine or some kind of automaton. People don't want to talk to a encyclopedia. People want to connect to another human being. They want a story that they can grasp. Something that could happen to them. Understand who they are and then establish common ground.

Yes. Chances are high my natural death will occur at old age. One day today is worth more than one day as an old man.

Time and resources are finite. We cannot allocate the same resource twice.

I was referring to ChatGPT. It is a paid prompt.

No good will come from the business model offered by "Open"AI. It is not like the personal computer revolution that created tremendous wealth and opportunity. These companies are not developing "tools" like the personal PC. The models are closed, trained on closed data and cost a fortune to train. All they will ever offer is a paid prompt.

It's just sad. The Manhattan project was necessary and it was successful. It also developed the technology for clean nuclear energy. But at the end of the day the reality of this world is that technology is a two edge knife. US government promptly bombed Japan, and other countries rightfully rushed to develop their own bombs.

I feel the same with AI. Most people struggle to make ends meet. Meanwhile our brightest minds are developing AI and will hand it over to people who don't care about the rest of us. Models will be closed, data will be closed. Why? You get my point?

As sad as Carmack working for Facebook.

One would expect that bright people would know better, specially after the Manhattan project.
