It’s hard to take the article seriously when there’s no real discussion about how consciousness is defined and it takes Anthropic’s views of Claude and their software at face value. I wish there was more critique from journalists about how technocrats talk about their products.

Doesn’t seem like it was coming at a high speed if it took decades to manifest.

Unfortunately this seems to target the Surface RTX Spark dev boxes Microsoft is planning to release later this year and no other GPU’s.

This is a paper published from 2001 with no bearing on the current political climate.

Those two phenomena can be true at the same time.

Buffon’s needle assumes a flat space, while a non-Euclidean space or geometry would affect the probability leading to a different value other than pi. You can treat the space around us as Euclidean, but that isn’t true for every part of the universe.

Can you share any resources from them you found useful?

FM radio has not been deprecated, where did you hear that? And the infrastructure is not disappearing any time soon.

I think you’re misunderstanding the original FTC Noncompete Rule Ban. It would currently apply to employers other than senior executives to prevent trade secrets to be hired away. Additionally, they provide alternatives that won’t allow for trade secrets to leave a company such as NDA’s, which is what most non-competes have to prevent dissemination of trade secrets.

It has to do with the wave-particle duality of matter. As you more finely attempt to measure the momentum (a more fundamental measurement compared to kinetic energy) and its location, you run into the wave-like nature of matter. It becomes more of a distribution rather than a point measurement. I won’t attempt to show the mathematics behind this, I’ll leave that for a physicist or mathematician.

I believe that’s too narrow of a viewpoint and disregards the nuances of the relationship between graduate students and their universities. In recent times universities have increasingly relied on grad students for teaching and research functions. If you asked a graduate student to describe their experience they will most likely compare it to a job because it has the same responsibilities as one.

I’m not sure you can treat the lack of affordable housing as an indictment of democracy as an institution. Of course there’s more nuance to the issue, but it’s not as simple as people get what they want.

Yes, as neutrons have a magnetic moment. Neutrons are not affected by electric fields.
