The mental transaction cost is the hard part. The effort required to decide whether to pay at all is significant enough that payments don't scale down to the micro- level.
It's only mathematics-adjacent, but Stephen Hawking was known for making quite a few bets. https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.359.6382.1317
I don't think that's people who refer to Tyranny of Structurelessness mean. At least I read it more as that you can't just declare 'there be no hierarchy here' and be done. Unless you carefully engineer the system, the…
Sure thing, here's your neural VR interface and extremely high fidelity artificial world with as many paperclips as you want. It even has a hyperbolic space mode if you think there are too few paperclips in your field…
Users of practical software would probably not accept the program taking forever, so you could implement a runtime constraint. With a runtime constraint, every TM effectively halts, so making nontrivial observations…
The dark humor in this is that any such technologically advanced future where humans have a meaningful say will eventually look like one of abundant luxury communism: it's just that the oligarchs' version will have a…
I think you could do most of it as a point and click. Perhaps with the exception of that one command (if you know what I mean) because the mere possibility of it would be revealing in a point-and-click. But you could do…
Perhaps you could do a hierarchical approach somehow, first generating a "zoomed out" structure, then copying parts of it into an otherwise unspecified picture to fill in the details. But perhaps plain stable diffusion…

In the same way. Most proposed fusion systems use deuterium-tritium fusion where a significant amount of the energy is carried away as neutrons, so direct energy conversion wouldn't be possible anyway. From the article…

The current crowning achievement of formal methods is, as I understand it, seL4. It is a formally proven microkernel of about 8500 LOC. There's still a while to go until they can scale to 100kLOCs, unfortunately.
There are ways to keep an AI in sealed hardware and making sure it can't affect the world, for instance by using an objective function that only deals with mathematics, and doesn't deal with the real world at all. E.g.…
That seems to be a DRM problem. Let's say that you want the camera to track all modifications of the picture. Then, analogous to DRM, there's nothing stopping the forger from just replacing the CCD array on the camera…
Just make it zero-knowledge. You use the ID server to prove that you're not a sock puppet of someone already registered, but that's all the site needs to know.
That's for reinforcement learning, right? What is the adversarial learning problem in say, classification based on Solomonoff? If hypercomputation is possible, then anything based on Kolmogorov complexity would be SOL,…

It's not really immutable as you can change the parameters of an entangled pair. You just can't communicate any information by doing so, because you need a classical signal to make sure you don't read one of the…
