If you had a large stock of stolen CCs you could use this to pay a buck or two on everyone's bill and verify that the cards are valid.
Thank you for this! I have read Blindsight but I have long wondered why everyone thought it was so revolutionary. I kept thinking I was missing something. And I think this is it! In that I already thought/knew that…
It's just an analogy, you're not supposed to think too deeply about them. The main take away for a lay person is that _like_ the mattress space is being deformed. That's where the analogy stops. Taking it further, like…
There truly is an xkcd for everything.
It's also a a problem because not all states are the same, some don't allow O, some do. Some allow 0, some don't! The cameras need to be able to read both.
The cameras that they have to read plates in a lot of different conditions and various states of cleanliness. Some states allow O and some states allow 0, and some states don't care. Combine the two issues and cops get…
>He who can destroy a thing has the real control of it.
I think at this point you need to consider how the human eye see color. It's not like each wavelength gets picked up and then communicated perfectly. (I'm going to skip over some basic stuff, and use some generalities)…
Off topic, but I feel like this could be made into a Zen Koan from The Codeless Code[0]. You're almost there with it! [0] https://thecodelesscode.com/
I am blown away that one of the programmers on Theme Park is now one the leading researchers in modern AI. Wonders will never cease.
What he's talking about is that the CGI in B5 was filmed in 4:3 and not in 16:9 like the rest of the show. When they did the "high res" releases they had to make the choice of doing everything in 16:9 or in 4:3. In 4:3…
Isn't this basically what Jonathan Blow is trying to do with his "new" programming language, Jai?
When I went to Portugal I was struck by how much Portuguese there does sound like Spanish with a Russian accent!
I don't think this _really_ contributes to the conversation, but I think we can sum this entire post up with just one XKCD comic. https://xkcd.com/927/
I have said much of the same about dune in my own life to others, about how the main thesis is "hard times make strong men, ...", but that still does boil down to might makes right. Saying that the first book alone…
A lot of what is great about Dune are the inversions of the story past the first novel. If you take the first book alone you're left with only one facet of a much grander story. You're also left with the idea a white…
The point of Dune, or the Butlerian Jihad within Dune, isn't that Humans are more capable than the Thinking Machines. It is that Humans should be the author of their own destiny, that and the Thinking Machines were…
What if you had told it again that you don't think that's right? Would it have stuck to it's guns and went "oh, no, I am right here" or would it have backed down and said "Oh, silly me, you're right, here's the real…
If there exists some such set of algorithms that could get a "pretty darn good approximation of truth" I would be extremely happy. Given the pushes for political truths in all of the LLMs I am uncertain if they would be…
There are limits to such algorithms, as proven by Kurt Godel. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G%C3%B6del%27s_incompleteness_...
I'm more reminded of Tom Scott's talk at the Royal Institution "There is no Algorithm for Truth"[0]. A lot of what you're talking about is the ability to detect Truth, or even truth! [0]…
Excluding room and board that's more expensive than Harvard[0]. I feel like if you're spending that much money on a child then it should be freaking amazing. You could employ a private tutor full time for that sort of…
While I don't think that we can reason everything from first principles, those who think they can are doomed to fall pray to their own personal bias and repeat errors that our forebearer had, I do think that everyone…
My only concern with using LLMs to learn new material is being certain that it's not leading me astray. Too many times I've used LLMs for tasks at work and some of the answers I've gotten back are subtlety wrong. I can…
Maybe one of the books by Douglas Hofstadter? Godel Escher Bach? or I Am A Strange Loop?
