I watch old ones, too, but always by myself. Nobody else wants to. It's always "eww, black and white!" Often they're right. They'd be much more watchable with an AI that could sharpen the picture and colorize it.
Watched it with the family! Was a hit Hard disagree on the colorization bit. I don’t see how color would improve some thing like Psycho or Citizen Kane

Try to become a giant yourself - why not?
A giant typically means famous. There are many giants that we will never know the name of. For me, I’d rather die famous with my friends and family and have changed the world in my silent way. I’ve been fortunate enough to do it a few times already, and I hope I’ll get another chance before I die as most people never get the first chance. That’s I think a better goal - when a chance comes to change everything, jump i…

I think this is tautological - this is how it must always be, and I would guess has been the common view at any given point of time in history. You can only properly assess and appreciate the impact sufficient to assign 'legend' status to an individual or institution retroactively, decades hence from the actions that elevated them there.
Reminds me of this silly quote from The Office (US) > I wish there was a way to know you were in the good old days before you actually left them. > - Andy Bernard
Weird how this works sometimes… I was just at the Monterey Bay Aquarium for the first time today, saw the name on the auditorium and thought “ that Gordon (and Betty) Moore?” Truly an incredible place, and thanks in very large part to the Moores. RIP Gordon.
For reference to anyone who doesn't know : He is the Moore of Moore's law : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moore%27s_law We lost a visionary and a pioneer. I like to think we have people who not only think like he did, but who can get the message across.
Moores law lives on in Kurzweils law (in spirit)
Before anyone says that Moore's law is dead, remember that transistors are still getting smaller and more dense (not to mention more expensive, which was another part of his prediction). In every thread people confuse Moore's law with Dennard scaling (which states roughly that, as transistors get smaller, their power density stays constant, so that the power use stays in proportion with area; both voltage and current…
I think the spirit of Moore's Law (the context in which it is most often used) is better referred to as the Law of Accelerating Returns [1] [2] (e.g. by Ray Kurzweil). Moore's Law is a sub-section (in time and technology) of the Law of Accelerating Returns.

No it doesn’t - take that singularity bullshit elsewhere. Gordon Moore never aligned himself with that pseudoscientific nonsense https://cs.stanford.edu/people/eroberts/cs181/projects/2010-...
RIP. Nothing more to add.

I would think a intelligence capable of self modification could use the scientific method to increase it's performance (even if it means scaling in size like a matrioshka brain).
