Long before this Matt video, I've done just that. A generator of devilish no-image jigsaw puzzles :-) which I indeed wanted to do a little Show HN someday. I made a small python script call a SAT solver to create a MxN puzzle with only

Tm. I checked that it seems to be non-toxic, and don't corrode as much as the siblings. The issue is that its melting and boiling point are very near.

I have a cute somewhat related story. I wanted to make really unique rings, so I decided to make them from some random metal from the forgotten realms of the periodic table. I asked for a site that sells many rings of many different metals,

As a sibling comment put, the Scott Aaronson post has lots of interesting questions about this. Do the aliens who are watching us being simulated inside matrix think we are actually conscious? What if they freeze the program for 100 years

I've been working on computatioinal modelling consciousness and came to similar conclusions: there is a continuum between patterns of matter that have consciousness (humans and other animals, maybe a biological enough computer, etc) wh

I've thought a lot about exactly these limits to AI. The reliability problem will be solved sooner or later. Same for tacit skills that somebody trains into AI (manage people, do laundry). But if your job is specifically about being hu

I was thinking on buying/building one robot like this to experiment. Can one fit more than one manipulator on it (so it could more easily do things like hang out clothes, or hold a glass of water and add ice)? More generally, how does

I have for some time planning to do a 'Wikipedia for AI' (even bought a domain), where people could contribute all sorts of these skills ( not only 3d video, but also manual skills, or anything). Given the current climate of &#x27

Why not allow the players to 'create' new cards on the fly and the LLM balance it automatically? So that one would feel like an 'real' wizard. Curiousy I was thinking on how to actually implement something like that toni

I did a little python script some time ago to solve just problems like this. It is meant to be more educative than fast, though, and doesn't handle non-right angles (like pytaghorean triangles). It turns out that eliminating duplicates
