I went to the Singularity conference where they had an economist, James Miller, who speculated on this. As we approach it, our notions of economics change. Home building will slow down as we realize that our notions of homes will change drastically. Money itself may become extinct after it, which will increase interest rates as we approach it.
You have to remember that the Singularity will happen soon. Any calculations of risk must be compared with the time to Singularity. Any asteroid hit must only be compared to the effect on progress to the Singularity.
I never looked at my levels before the operation, but they were quite low after (as expected). I really don't think increased testosterone as an intact young person will improve your mental ability. Maybe I was geeky enough to somewhat deal with the low testosterone?
I had an elective castration, and am on testosterone replacement after I found myself not remembering as well as I did before. Really helped in that area. Check your levels to see if they warrant some replacement.
Exactly. In Lojban, you can create much more defined relationships between entities. We'll have some sort of binary after the Singularity, but it is interesting to me to study Lojban (parsable) in the meantime.
Wow, sounds just like me. Somewhere between the ringtone system, and the lovely way it deletes your CD music when you have two computers, I felt like a prisoner. Great hardware, very usable. 3g is nice, but won't fix the problems.
At some point I wanted to develop for the iPhone, but it's locked into the Mac. Everything about that phone seems locked.
Sure, we may have hit singularity and have arbitrary electromagnetic wave sensitivity. The patterns on the ink would still be detectable while scanning the spectrum.
I'm tired of looking at gross call traces that are aligned every which way. Itanium was weird, but at least it would make sense. The x64 extensions are at least interesting, but don't remove the basic flaws in x86. Anybody doing systems or embedded software will have to deal with this at some point. How much brain power do we need to waste on it? Of course, the hacks that Intel itself has to go through are bad enough as it is.

Will this affect the date of Singularity? Is Obama pro-singularity? Anybody see him with a bluetooth headset :) ?
Keeping old stuff is ofter more emotional than rational.
Um, flag day?
Doesn't seem to stop the various IP police from doing their thing, does it? That doesn't even involve money, most of the time.
Programmers are people? I suppose until the AI and posthumans following the Singularity.
Went to the 2008 summit--I'm all in for it. We're out there.
Lojban is a constructed, parsable language that can deliver the same (or greater) information content as natural languages.
Not at all. It's the point where intelligence can improve itself.
There may not be a need for 2^32 network elements for Singularity research. Once it hits, nothing else before it matters.

So does this move us closer? A few years earlier?
Elective, not preemptive.

I logged in for this. Have you heard of Lojban? I wonder if the enormous overhead of natural languages impedes our thought.
Which, by the way, Obama will double.

A few more hardwired paths would be nice, but we can't even get beyond x86, which complicates debugging at the very least!
We'll hit Singularity by 50 years--no comparing to history after that!
The bond between the loved is beyond the damn govermnent. They will discovery some form of Lojban!
Some of those designs look powerful yet expensive to build. We'll need some way to distribute GiW level production.
