Doesn't seem like it would require AGI for a self driving system to "know" that someone fell and didn't magically disappear.

Umm, perhaps I'm mistaken, but I'm fairly certain that, at least in the US, it's always been fairly easy to obtain N95 masks, up until the pandemic. I realized I had a box of them lying around which my ex-girlfriend had purch

Anecdotally, for me I didn't watch it religiously, but I would watch anytime there was a guest that I liked or found interesting. I haven't watched a single show since he moved to Spotify.

Does a human see a clear path and kill someone or not?

It's only AGI until someone achieves it. Then it becomes statistical analysis.

No better source for official Sony TOS than a blogspot domain? Paint me skeptical.

Also, a 10 year old child will likely not fear bodily harm or death the same way a 40-year old adult would, of course that can be an advantage or disadvantage depending on the situation.

Wow, I can't believe I went this long without realizing there were these characters specifically intended to be used in text based interfaces. It's funny, these are almost like the opposite of emojis, text trying to be graphics, r

This doesn't make much sense to me. The speed of light is a constant, right? Gravitational interactions may change the directional component, but the speed would remain constant, no?

Can you get me one of those million dollar jobs referred to in the article? I've only got a bachelor's degree in software engineering, but I've been doing data science(ish) at my job since I graduated.

Not exactly throwaway per say, but I have a Google Voice VOIP number that I usually use when I'm signing up for services that require a phone number. Some services seem to be able to actually detect that it is a Google Voice number and

The set of people who have access to the GitHub project (push privileges) might not be the same as the set of people who have access to said project's website.

People always claim this, but I'm not convinced. We've had a million scientific discoveries that for all practical purposes disprove a lot of religious claims. People seem to either just adapt their beliefs, ie. things move from l

I don't necessarily think Slack is worth $16B any time soon, but I actually do feel like my searchable Slack history stretching back ~5 years is one of the most valuable resources I have at my fingertips on a dailt basis. The search qu

Late reply here, but I was referring to the one-sided aspect. Just seems unlikely to me that someone would realistically intend for a one-sided copy of currency to be believed as real. Just seems like the threshold for printing both sides i

Someone has gone to prison for trying to pass off one-sided copies of actual currency? Seems pretty unlikely to me. Would be interested in reading about an actual case of this happening.

Indeed. It's always amazing to me when I think about the incredible applications of running water and plumbing in ancient Rome that was effectively lost for so many centuries starting with the dark ages.

This is great. I have just recently purchased access to a VPN service and also a proxy service and have been learning about SSH tunneling. Can't wait to dig into this.

Does it really make sense to call it "reputation" if you're the only one that can see it?

This is an interesting idea. Doubles as a strategy for monetizing.

Obviously you aren't going to be able to get everyone to agree on everything, but I think the vast majority of this is simply because people are easily manipulated, and are so prone to group think and jumping on the bandwagon. If it we

If by lobbying you mean bribery, then yes, it has been around forever. I think the way it is done today, legitimized, in the open, and at scale, is a relatively recent phenomenon.

by CoryG89 8y ago
I understand the point, but I don't accept that no one has a better solution. How about we just making it illegal to bribe politicians with money, regardless of what group is doing it? Why is it that bribery laws we already have on the

Unrelated, but probably the most amazing thing I've ever seen in a video game is someone getting killed by a hyper-accelerated traffic cone on this Halo 3 map from Bungie: Traffic cone ownage https://youtu.be/ym0BtwmCvo

I've wondered if there was a way to do this forever. Was just trying to come up with a good solution for trusting my self-signed certs on my machines.

Oh, if for nothing other than the irony of having to reverse engineer a tool for reverse engineering provided only in binary.

Maybe I'm a little naive, but to me, "renting" data sounds a lot like just selling data.

I don't personally have a problem with Amazon selling tech to police or militaries. I would, however have a problem working for Amazon while not realizing that my work is being directly utilized by the military. If I'm gonna sell

VR is just a medium. Why would it not be just as capable at teaching kids to solve integrals and write essays? You may argue that it can't possibly do any better of a job than a book could, but I think it's unlikely that there is
