Yes, they trick me and I pick the poisoned wine... But wait, no, I used a hybrid. Imagine the code can't be backdoored (it's proven not to crash/be slow/be exploitable) so at worst it can make the security no better. At

There is no public reason to think that 1024 is better than 768, or DJB's S-NTRU-P 761. The NSA might know something, but we can't trust them. So, use a hybrid, in case they are really just trying to protect us.

Someone at MIRI must know how to solve this. Good luck getting them to tell you how!

There are no humans in the culture. AIs run everything and control thoughts. The humanoid aliens of the culture all commit suicide.

No the cartoon character. It's part of an awful series of AI jokes, maybe don't look it up. There's a (2011? "new") show for 9 year old girls that has most of the characters female, so God (Celestia) is a woman. Or

Robin Hanson thinks they should. He makes a comparison to the (public company) Morton-Thiokol trading minutes after the shuttle explosion. Insider trading (allowed on future markets) would have let that price move before the explosion.

The Hello page is very wrong. Rice's is irrelevant because halting is decidable for all Turing machines of program length l or less when run for a maximum of n steps (enough for you, me, and of course the LLM) despite any other cla

All you would get is even more insurance overhead and even higher nominal prices. People who pay cover people who don't, and doctors will get insurance to pay for all their failures.

The coolers get so heavy that they don't make good contact if your motherboard is not horizontal. For mainstream CPUs that's why a cheap closed loop cooler is better.

Yes. Don't branch on key or in-clear data. Otherwise, ok. If a user is doing onion wrapping, they don't want you to branch on the code data either.
