The greater the competitive advantage, the greater the incentive to "cheat" the rules. I am highly skeptical everyone will play by the rules, even if you could get people to agree on paper. The difference between something like &q

I think in principal, "If AI leaders genuinely believe the technology is existentially risky, that’s a good thing" because the assumption is a rational AI leader therefore wouldn't be building it if it were existentially ri

Now here’s a real risk involving measles that I sometimes worry about. What if the measles virus experienced a set of immune escape mutations where suddenly existing vaccines no longer work? If this happened the consequences would be horri

Agree. >>Both URLs were registered yesterday!<< The "Leadership" photos all look the same, with the AI-airbrushed style. Also amazing how they both only have three people. What a coincidence. I can't find any of

Is the PC mainboard separate from all the tek ASIC etc stuff? If so, what's the interface? PCMCIA? PCI? I'm just wondering how difficult it would be to use a more modern bit of kit in there instead of the Celeron.

Bit off topic, but if you suffer from canker sores, SLS (sodium lauryl sulfate) is a known contributor to that in some people (me included). It's a bit hard to find toothpastes without it that aren't also fluoride free, but they e

That seems like enough prior art to invalidate much of what could conceivably be considered novel in the pending patent...

So what you're saying is, we have a blueprint and it's theoretically possible. That makes it worse. Co-operation from our northern neighbor would be appreciated. But, perhaps, not required, given a thirst great enough.

You're right the kernel might be able to handle that pretty quickly, but I know from experience even good, ~200Hz sampling captouch system is 1/200 = 5ms worst case, 2.5ms avg. That's already 2.5-5x the budget and we haven&#

For an article about the origins of Alexa / Echo, it seems a pretty glaring omission to completely skip over the organization that actually designed / made the hardware. That, for what it's worth, was done by Amazon Lab126 in

That $1000/kg figure is reprocessing something like 10kg of material to get 1kg of enriched material. Current costs to launch a kg to orbit are something like $2,000-$6,000. If we're comparing it to you enriched amount, you'd

On the other hand, I used to have an automatic open garbage can. Absolutely hated it. Ended up replacing with a foot operated one. The benefits were: * Never ran out of batteries * Didn't rely on an IR sensor that would work about 80%

Ah, I think you're correct. Although the watts per square meter still don't make sense.

Many questions. A couple: * 1m² = 1x2m? 4m² = 2x4m? etc. I'm confused by this. * Why 25 m² (5x10 m) = 20.8kW, but 100 m² (10x20 m) = 62.4kW? 4x the size in m², but only ~3x the power? Shouldn't it be 83.2kW, not 62.4kW? It doesn&#

In VR, it's well known that your peripheral vision is a cue to your brain to infer motion direction. You can give yourself serious motion sickness in VR if you grab hold of the VR camera and force a roll / pitch in this state. One

While that's pithy, I think it's also incorrect, because it implies that Oracle / Ellison is controllable by us, in the same way a tool / lawnmower is. That's absolutely not true. It has its own motivations that are

Of course. LLMS still have huge weaknesses in distinguishing between incoming unsanitized data, and their operating instructions. It's still malware though. Unlike some backdoor that you could plausibly claim was just a simple memory l
