You find the experience of someone vaguely underestimating your effort comparable to being enslaved?

Where do they say that?

Except you don't.

That's sort of the question that all nuclear fusion projects are trying to answer: can you replicate the processes that happen in a star without having a star?

Oh wait, you're right. I misread the title. Don't we already have room temperature semiconductors?

You can! And I believe many do. But please don't.

Could you give an example of a consciousness-related theory that violates one of these? It sounds to me a bit like saying that if your chess move violates thermodynamics then it's an illegal move. I suppose it's true but I can't imagine one that does.

But none of those have anything to do with consciousness. How could any theory related to consciousness "fail" any of those four things?

> thermodynamics, turing computability, information theory and probability

What do any of those things have to do with consciousness?

I did find the article a bit difficult to read. I think a choose your own adventure is perhaps not the best framework for expressing the ideas contained in this article.

You are correct.

Because there aren't enough volunteers willing to put enough time in.

Yes it is, they're talking about induced demand. There are lots of resources where, when usage of the resource becomes more efficient, people end up using more rather than less.

On the other hand, memory optimization is so much easier with AI. Profiling an app, reworking a function to be twice as long but more efficient, A/B testing libraries across browsers to check which uses the least extra memory. All of these things are fairly easy but so tedious, which makes them perfect for AI.

Of course not. The argument is that the benefits are nebulous.

My ISP (Bell Aliant) doesn't support IPv6 at all. Rogers though, for example, assigns you a /56 block but it's dynamic.

Is it? There are many benefits in principle to IPv6, but if my ISP continues to assign me a single dynamic IP, those benefits are entirely moot for me.

Well, have they? The article lists some very cool features, but those are also points of failure. They review process for medical products is onerous and could definitely be improved, but it does serve an important purpose.

The chair seems to put the user in a higher and more upright position than most, for example, which could make it easier to fall out.

The scenario seems like the system working perfectly as designed: enthusiasts have the opportunity to buy it on the open market, and once it's proven and makes it through the review process, it'll be more widely available through insurance as well.

> It's better for opsec in every single way and helps if you were ever to be subpoena'd or raided, your work laptop would be the only in-scope device for search/seizure.

If police raid your house looking for electronics, they're going to take everything down to the Roku stick.

There were a lot of things we couldn't do in an SR-71000...

We didn't have this kind of sloppy UI. Putting in an extra text field is work, so we mostly had blocks of text and misaligned fields and text in the wrong place.

AI has no trouble churning out code, so AI-generated sloppy UIs have text fields everywhere.

> The text is too small and it's way too dense with information in general.

The Claude special.

Bandwidth can be bought with money, of which Microsoft made an extra $133.7 billion this year.

Yeah, Claude is perfectly happy to set up and improve a self hosted pirated media streaming service. I can't imagine that will last.

> because it contained a string ("reasoning") it didn't like.

How do you know? How would the stupider model know?

> When I had another model read the session (all of the "stupider" models handled it just fine) it explained that it had the word "reasoning" in it

Did it explain it did it hallucinate?

Man, EVs are very efficient. I was thinking from the perspective of my 120 HP Hyundai Venue, where it would be only an extra 10% of peak power.

Power usage isn't an issue. 10 kW is 13 HP. The size, price, and fragility of the components is the issue.

Not necessarily. They probably have an integrated service that handles some telemetry and also feature flags, like Braze. They toggled the whole thing off based on telemetry settings. It's a bug I've made before too.

Access is so good. I can't believe there's no universal equivalent for Linux and Mac. There are dozens of times when I've used a spreadsheet when a file-based database would have been better.
