Well, the digital nomad doesn't spend a lot of money. Some on accommodation, some for internet, some for food, and that's it. He spends his time remote working on his laptop. His income is paid offshore. Apart from the tourist as

Indeed. 500 years is about 16 generations, so any ancestor of that age may have 65536 or even more descendents. You'd need to locate them and ask them all permission. How does it work, is it majority vote? Unanimous vote? All European

It is a political and societal choice. I could understand that a people decides that it should be governed with pure human processes, and therefore that its government and civil servant has to use only human brain power (and compassion) to

If the liquid didn't move, it would kind of magically find itself OUTSIDE of the container. So yes, when you shake a container (move it with strong if short accelerations), the liquid inside will too move accordingly, being subject of

There is no space, unless you left a vacuum, and sealed the container under this vacuum. And even then, the liquid will evaporate to fill the empty space with gas, up to some pressure (that depends on the composition of the liquid and temp

It's easy. Take for example the copper market (~$300B/year) and multiply at least by 10. Basically, it'll go everywhere, and more with the new applications. The only limit will be production.

Well, that's the point: you have to find a subject that doesn't bore the kid to death, and show him how he can explore it with programming. Any kind of programming. So what interests this kid?

But it does. There's a famous experiment, where we display on a screen successive dots (with gaps in between). People see one dot in motion. Now, if half of the dots are red, and the following half are green, and if we ask people to

This argument is correct, LLM are not AGI. However, that doesn't remove any utility from LLMs and ChatGPT. Only you should keep humans in the loop. It's a "chat" architecture, ie. you must have a dialog, between a hum

They should have bugged the house, but avoided the presence of a crew. It would have been most interesting to add a group half boys half girls. I hear mixed groups display better natural behavior. Pirates and all boys. Girls alone lead to

IMO free will is only the guarantee by God that he won't be messing with our program while it's running. Ie. He won't use His debugger to change our state, or make us do things that are not in our programming. Free will is
