> get so much done Compared to what??

This reminds me of a gem of a comment from about a month back, about a dead simple Russian guidance system from a Cold War-era missile: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4738928…

What's the benefit to an "edgelord", though? Why bother?

It doesn't explicitly mention a license, but it has this right underneath "Overview of the Insights" near the top: > A quick note: All of the data visualizations in this roundup ar…

It looks like it's supposed to be a general purpose robot servant, although "Follows you around" from the list of skills on the pre-order page is hilariously disturbing. There woul…

The space race was to the death. Both sides thought that losing meant they'd get nuked or taken over by the other. A narrative like that for Mars is harder. "We'll take over the re…

There's a lot of psychological factors in markets swinging up and down, and there are always people saying that there's going to be a recession. Also, if you think about HN specifi…

Are there any companies that are hybrids of this, where they have some fixed structure in terms of voting power that's, say, 60% employee-owned, and 40% which is publicly traded an…

It's called a population pyramid because the shape of that graph for a growing population is a pyramid. If you look at some of the African countries on that site (like, say, Uganda…

(a) doesn't hold up because the details of the claim necessitate that it is a property of brains that they can always perceive the truth of statements which "regular computers" can…

There are lots of different flavors of anarchy, and anarchists can't agree on them. Or--and I think this might be quoting or paraphrasing someone: there are as many different kinds…

I agree with Moravec. As he points out a bit later on: > Only on the outside, where they can be appreciated as a whole, will the impression of intelligence emerge. A human brain, t…

Given that there's no well-defined "unit of intelligence", I see no reason to believe that all AGI (or GAI, to use your acronym) entities will be identical. I also don't think it's…

I agree that intuitively it seems to not make sense, but with regard to your specific points, and assuming that there's actually more than a nothingburger behind this whole story: …

Yes, it's down. githubstatus.com is showing degraded performance for almost everything at the moment.

There's a paper about that, "The Myth of Intelligence" by Henry Schlinger. Abstract: > Since the beginning of the 20th century, intelligence has been conceptualized as a qualitativ…

If a person's identity is a property, is it measurable?
