I'm my opinion the best days of YouTube were before monetization was a thing. There were plenty of creators back then, and it was a lot less corporate than it is now.

I think this might be a case of expecting a fish to climb a tree. Brains are terrible in fp32 performance, and computers are so far not great at reasoning. But that's mostly because they are made for different things. I'm not sure of this, but i would expect a single neuron firing costing a similar amount of energy as a single transistor firing. The difference is in part that they work differently, but I think the most important part is that they are put together differently. Computers were made for arithmetic while brains evolved for socialising and survival. For most other things you are 100% correct though, we could not recreate a bee or an ant even if we wanted to.

It has been proven that each mathematical reasoning system* either has a statement that cannot be proven true or false, or a statement that can be proven both true or false. In simpler terms, it has been proven that we can't prove everything.

Gödels incompleteness theorem if anyone wants to look it up.

  • only holds for reasoning systems that can reason about numbers

I am sceptical of this thought experiment as it seems to imply that what goes on within the human brain is not computable. For reference: every single physical effect that we have thus far discovered can be computed/simulated on a Turing machine.

The argument itself is also riddled with vagueness and handwaving: it gives no definition of understanding but presumes it as something that has a definite location, and also it may well be possible that taking the time to run the program inevitably causes understanding of Chinese after even the first word returned. Remember: executing these instructions could take billions of years for the presumably immortal human in the room, and we expect the human to be so thorough that they execute each of the trillions of instructions without error.

Indeed, the Turing test is insufficient to test for intelligence, but the statement that the Chinese room argument tries to support is much, much stronger than that. It essentially argues that computers can't be intelligent at all.

Whenever I play with other autistic people the game tends to just become a discussion of probabilities and game theory, to the detriment of all non-autistic people at the table. I'm always having a blast though.

Turns out the attacker was an Elon fan. Maybe he should resign himself.

I've flown with them once, but i was very happy with the experience. That might be because I'm used to Ryanair though.

I mean, the paper doesn't just state the obvious, it also evaluated which policies can and can't be used to avoid this scenario.

This was not a simple user error, nor was it a standard software bug. It was a cascading, multi-layered systemic failure involving nested sh

Did AI write this article? That would be particularly ironic...

The energy difference is only really relevant if the thing you're hitting is significantly heavier or at least similarly heavy like a house or another car. For a person it's still much worse, but that is moreso because of the high hood of the car.

I know pickup trucks are heavy, but I'm surprised they are 16 times heavier than a Honda civic. The more you learn.

It has far more than AAA value to me. AAA games are mostly boring imho.

It also caused or aided some hijackings by pilots, possibly including MH370.

Is this real or a joke? It reads like the "if you don't use the turn signal the car doesn't turn" meme.

So are you saying cah can't do this because it may be misinterpreted by utterly deranged people? Should we just give up then? Anything can be misinterpreted if the interpreter is deranged enough.

Also, I don't know what you mean with "a rising elevator hasn't already risen" but such an elevator would experience infinite jolt and would thus be physically impossible, except maybe if the elevator was a photon or something.

If you have a playlist for me it straight up doesn't show unavailable videos. But with yt-dlp you can acquire the unrestricted list with the titles and urls, and then hopefully use wayback to get the videos.

It's not quite strictly worse; some older games are easier to run in wine than natively. But your point still stands.
