Cloud in most cases is all a huge bet against basic ideas of CS, like caches. The correct model keeps power close to the user, it's edge tech with cloud augmentation. The autistic control freak model requires approval from Microsoft for every thing you do, it's the cloud. I think there's huge money at this point in going the opposite way, and giving companies control over their data and actions instead of trying to remote control.
That's what Google, to its credit, has been saying since day one. Autopilot is either a safety backup system like Meritor Onguard, or it's totally in control. Driving is not a dificult task, it's no easier to monitor a computer driving than it is to drive. Consequently if people aren't driving they are looking at their cell phones.
What you're talking about is automation. That's a system that's better than humans at a very specific task. What everyone is worried about is general AI, which is better at thinking than humans. The latter you MUST release for best outcomes, otherwise it's like a 5 year old micromanaging an engineer at work.
Enforced trust really is more a blockchain thing than an AI thing, but I'd never thought about how much it could transform corrupt places. Eventually it would be banned by govt, and then can be painted as colonial itself, but if it truly were distributed and not a tool of foreign control, it could be like self inflicted sanctions to ban it at a certain point.
The actual problem here is "simulate the wind". Doing so requires a FOSS fluid Dynamics package that runs fast, and to my knowledge this doesn't exist. NASA opened up theirs a few years ago seeking speedup:
One of the remaining legacies of colonialism is the suppression of psychedelics. They were used in religious rituals for thousands of years in the Americas, and as such a sacrement, their use is in fact a constitutionally protected right.
I've thought a lot about. My conclusion is consciousness is an attribute of the physical universe, with various physical states corresponding to conscious states. So a storm is a conscious "feeling" though no memory or anything else specific to the brain. The main attributes of consciousness are continuity and atomicity, so there could be said to exist a universal consciousness. However, rare configurations of matter can correspond to consciousness experiencing separation from the universe. These states occur in biological brains, and have been cultivated by evolution because there can be no self preservation drive while experiencing self as universe instead of self as individual.
We are conscious because the universe is and we are the universe experiencing itself as not the universe.
That's totally right. Consider another thought experiment, one driver plays soccer, realizes the ball is about to be kicked into the road by some kids, slows down while another doesn't and nearly hits one. It shows how prediction of actions by intelligent actors is required for perfectly safe driving. Driving requires courtesy beyond right of way all day long as well, which comes from knowing what other drivers want. The only way forward I call ORDO, one road dual observers, where self driving system can override human drivers for safety on the backstreets but not drive, and a second DOT system monitoring on main roads that can override self driving system. It's not what Uber wants to hear but it's fine for them: Walk a few blocks to get an Uber, drive it anywhere, walk a few blocks to get back home. Or allow remote drivers.
Not control, logs. For instance an app from work has GPS permissions to know where I am when on duty, which is fine. But does it track me off the clock? Like with Uber: https://www.npr.org/sections/t... How would users know?
Why can't I find a simple view in Android of what apps have accessed permissions and when? (mic, camera, GPS etc) Also, apps request such general permissions... Access to drive I grant for apps that need to save files to drive, but does that mean it can upload my photos to weird app developer?
Android needs more transparency on these things to build trust.
It's true. The crazy thing is the emergence of strong state sentiments on the American right, the wave Trump is trying to ride. A decade ago you'd never hear collectivist insults like "snowflake" thrown around with talk of building to block cheap labor, or a desire to curtail global trade. The swing from libertarian to populist shows desire for govt that can actually get stuff done.
Kudos for mentioning the money angle, which is really what it's about. Programmers are too expensive, and come from an isolated demographic. By trying to expand the demographic, they're trying to increase labor supply to cut wages. People can go on PC rants all day long, but in the end it's just business.
That's right. Many "solutions" also diminish what cars do too: safe place, private space, protection from elements, communicable diseases, place to lock up and store your stuff, etc. Solutions have to take all this into account.
The simple number is a good idea, just give a guideline, have police respond anyway. Still it's ridiculous that police would go into any dangerous situation with their guard down because of these clowns. There's a story about a boy who cried wolf, it encodes the Bayesian nature of human behavior. If you allow endless fake bombs into secure areass as a "joke" without punishments, it becomes easy in time to bring real ones in.
There's every reason to believe it's coming and soon. Subjective experience of consciousness is irrelevant, you don't even know if your closest friend even has it. You are a physical system in correlation with your environment, unfolding in accordance with certain rules, which can be emulated for purposes of information processing and action. This is scientific truth.
Old people can point to this as the pinnacle of objectification and materialism, but these are the driving forces in our society, consequently we are on a road that leads to AI.
This idea that artificial *intelligence* isn't a threat to people who's market offering is based on their *intelligence* just isn't true. My bet is some of the lowest paid more miserable jobs like nursing home caregiver will be some of the hardest to replace with bots, while information processing jobs will be much easier.
The feeling of surprise is when your brain encounters something different from the world model *it already built* from partial information and held subconsciously. It's a part of intelligence.
I mean yeah, if someone peddles this is purely accurate info it's BS, but you can't deny that statements about what's probably in a concealed area, based on lots of experience/training are useful if taken for what they are.
I think it's really deeper tho. If you see just the tip of a football an NFL running back is holding, your brain has a plausible idea that he's holding a football, (not a puppy with a butt that looks like a football) and that will be confirmed when he spikes it in the end zone. Building most probable world models from partial information is a key thing human intelligence does.

How do you preserve free speech and the spirit of the Constitution in a time when things can be spoken into existence?

But there's physics stuff computers can't simulate fast, else we'd have AI's designing robots now.
Anecdotally, I'd say yes. A friend of mine from youth completely lost himself on shrooms, didn't know who he was.

I heard that can be connected to sleep apnea, you might want to watch your blood pressure.

Yep, same.
