Computing power per cost decreases (increases, sorry, reverse that, flip it around) exponentially. So what I think you are saying is, AGI will be prohibitively expensive. But what I think you actually said is that all it takes is computing power (as opposed to secret sauce).

If that's the case it's inevitable that a company has AGI, and if all it takes is computing power, eventually FOSS will have it too.

Would a corporation need to?

If you create the model there's a good chance open source is within a few years of also creating that model. You would only have dominance for a short while, relatively speaking, unless your AGI created the next AGI, in which case there will be two exponential curves separated by a short distance.

The issue with people eating bugs (Not that it's really an issue just a cultural thing) isn't because they don't have meat, but because it's not really possible to separate the meat from everything else. So generally, if you eat the thing, you eat the whole thing, shell and organs and all.

Compared to say, lobster or shrimp, which are... is butchered still the right term?... Prepared?...

I have been chastised.

Not sure internally what the memory would be capable of, I'm just testing for consistency within the context of the prompts for fun, and it seems like there is very little from prompt to prompt.

Ehh I tried some edible cannabis for the first time a few months ago and found that ringing in my ears was the first indication that something was "happening"

$200k per second and none of it was particularly good this year :(

Nothing rose to the level of Terry Tate: Office Linebacker, The Man Your Man could Smell Like, or It's a Tide Ad

I'm more interested in the constituting technology.

In order to indefinitely float a city on the ocean you need it to

1. Generate all its own power
2. Sustain all its vegetation
3. Grow its own food
4. Not get eroded
5. Provide hospital and other infrastructure for its residents
6. Desalinate enough water for everyone on board

So if you want to get rid of 4 you could theoretically have all the tech for a standalone, compartmentalized city somewhere near the ocean. Why not just, then, instead do that sort of thing?...

Maybe the synthetics used in outdoor wear is different. All the synthetic I have seen the water just rolls off it, and the sweat gets trapped in the neck.

Or, you know, we can stop using synthetic fabrics.

They are basically there to trick people anyway. They are softer (temporarily!) and then get garbage feel. They are a bait and switch, they don't last as long, they are less likely to wick moisture and more likely to grow mold and bacteria.

The day I put two and two together and realized that the only decent clothes I own had basically no synthetic fibers, that was a good day. Made a point of never buying any synthetic crap again. That was years and years ago. Doesn't apply to winter outer gear (ie, windbreaker material).

Now knowing that they also release microplastics, which we don't know the full extent of how they can damage the human body over time, we really need to regulate or tax the use of synthetics. Right now they are so much cheaper that every clothes company wants to use them as their high profit margin clothes and just push out a ton of them, when instead, synthetics should only be used when they have the desired characteristics in the fabric (ie, stretch, waterproof).

Well, luckily, we also got really good at automatically fingerprinting music, why not just two-stage it?

If the music has higher than a certain uniqueness threshold, bin it and train away from it.

> launched from Earth. It has been traveling for over 45 years and has made it 0.06% of the way to Alpha Proxima

This is not a great example because the point of the probe wasn't to exit the solar system quickly, it was to do science within the solar system. It gets brought up as an example but it really isn't valid because even with the technology of the time we could have sent something out at a higher velocity, but it would have defeated the purpose.

So you can afford a year of tuition if you spend no money on anything else. Ignoring that university SHOULD be a full time job in itself.

Anyone else think if we have a mathematically provably impossible system we need to tear it down and figure something else out?...

"Negative Derivatives" -> Integrals? Is this a thing? I would just say the integrals of position, in the same way jerk is the derivative of acceleration. I have heard "anti-derivative" as well.

Pipe organs and other flow based instruments were the examples I remember from when I last looked up uses for absement. The volume is based on the position of a key, which allows flow to build up in a pipe, which is proportional to how far down the key is pressed (ie, the integral of key position).

This was posted in a similar question and has a lot of good info, except for the 2nd integral of position except to say that there is a two staged absement instrument (so, what would be the sound output actually controls the "key" for the next stage of the pipe...). It's pretty contrived.

Yeah if you think it's not going to be an immediate authoritarian society you are out of your gourd.

On earth if you don't like your overlords you have other options, at some point. On mars it's a bit chilly without whoever keeps you sheltered. Good luck.

I'm gonna go with "The Laws of Physics" on this one.

But to get around your question, you can get hot water in about the time it takes to get to the coffee maker at most workplaces because it has a little hot water nozzle on the front. So it heats up over time and then keeps it hot for you, that solves the 5s timer.

And in restaurants you can use what is called a Salamander which does something similar - it heats up to ridiculous temperatures over time, and then you just put stuff you want toasty underneath. For example I just watched a video where they made a bechamel with a poached egg underneath, then got the bechamel toasty so fast it didn't cook the egg.

You can do something similar with a kitchen torch (which, if you have a special someone, and want to be fancy, make them creme brulee with a kitchen torch... besides being delicious it is impressive as hell).

Could be similar. Multivariable I think is a precursor to vector.

For us, we learned vector calculus as needed, such as in electromagnetics.

Calc 1 was derivatives and integrals and related. Calc 2 was derivatives and integrals of transcendant functions (exponent/log, trig functions etc) and time series. Calc 3 was a little bit of all of those things but in multiple dimensions, so partial derivatives, double integrals, and probably some vector stuff.

What we did for the vector calc part of emag was anything required there, up through some of the easier boundary value problems methods. But calc 3 didn't include like, divergence and curl, surface integrals, greens or stokes theorem, etc, where these are needed for specific emag problems.

Calc 3 for us was multivariable calculus. Which if you don't take that, before AI, you dun goofed.

A definition

> Cavitation occurs when the hydrodynamic pressure exceeds the vapour pressure of a moving liquid. Gas bubbles form within the liquid, which thus becomes a two-phase system. These bubbles will be crushed against the metal surface at high speed, an attack that leads to cavities with rounded contours.

The reason for cavitation is usually because of turbulence. As an object moves through water it causes disturbances; if they are slow enough and viscous enough the local pressure differences are predictable and smooth. Whereas if you have mixing or an open system (ie not bounded by a pipe) with not very viscous liquid or very fast flow, you cause vortices and chaotic patterns, which cause local pressure differences and cavitation. It's sort of the difference between having smooth flow, where on a normal distribution, everything is pretty close to a certain pressure, and having chaotic flow, where the distribution of pressures is wider and some proportion of those pressure differences fall under the vapor pressure of the liquid.

Cavitation is interesting because of the mechanical properties of water which cause damage to systems. For electromagnetism you would need something similar, so ask questions like

1. Are there any EM systems known for chaotic behavior?
2. Do these chaotic EM systems cause damage to other systems?
3. Bonus, are there any other EM systems that are known to cause damage?

For 1 and 2, yes, my understanding is that this is one of the major issues with plasma containment in fusion reactors (ie, ITER). In this case it may not be the EM itself that causes the issue, but the loss of beam confinement.

> Again, the nonlinear equations describing the motion of the plasma particles can exhibit chaotic behavior that allows the particles to escape from the confining fields. For example, electrons circulating along the guiding magnetic field lines in a toroidal confinement device called a TOKAMAK will feel a periodic perturbation because of slight variations in magnetic fields, which can be described by a model similar to the standard map. When this perturbation is sufficiently large, electron orbits can become chaotic, which leads to an anomalous loss of plasma confinement that poses a serious impediment to the successful design of a fusion reactor. source

Which brings me to 3) - it's far more common in electronics design to have to worry about inductive spikes, where semiconductors have to take PARTICULAR care against spikes exceeding a certain value. While this isn't chaotic, it is most similar to cavitation because a periodic spike, however rare, if it hits a semiconductor, it can damage the semiconductor over time. This can also cause EM - which is not chaotic, it's predictable, but because it's from so many traces it's likely to cause an exception in testing if you don't do clever things to spread the affected frequencies out. Too many switching supplies at exactly 1MHz for example will probably fail your test - it's a stochastic measure to spread that out over different frequencies and get better EMI results.

Ayway hope that answers some of the question.
