The Federal Arbitration act was specifically setup to provide a lower cost avenue to settle disputes as it is widely agreed that the current court system is too expensive for the average person.

There is valid criticism that it prevents class action suits, but aside from that arbitration is better for everyone involved. Most people won't even bother to litigate a lawsuit due to the costs exceeding the relief sought, but arbitration is far more approachable.

Have we even been able to start down this road though? We've been able to simulate neurons for quite some time (and even make computers that simulate them in hardware), but the best we can get them to do without significant intervention is categorize inputs. And even categorizing inputs requires a volume of inputs many times greater than that required by our own brains.

That speaks to problems beyond "use our brains as a template".
The spinning at an angle is very likely you reaching self awareness with enough fidelity to become aware of your own inner ear noise floor.

Like being in a silent room eventually relaxes your ear muscles and lack of other stimulation will bring out whatever birdies, tones, noise in your hearing, no movement and concentration can bring out same in your inner ear.

As we age, these artifacts tend to accumulate.

Happens in eyes too, but manifests a bit differently. What happens there is we need more photons to register the same sensory brightness levels. When we are in the dark for a while, the retinal noise floor can be more easily seen, like when star gazing.

Secondly, blood flow, other things can be seen in that noise floor. That happens better in consistent, lower light, but not dark environments, in my experience.

All of these are normally filtered in much the same way we filter our nose out of our visual field, unless we concentrate awareness there.

How do I know?

Well, we know nothing. But, my experiences come from three things:

I have a very good sensory recall. I know what it used to sound, hear, feel like with high fidelity.

My own meditative activities.

Some built in degree of self awareness. When I relax a bit, those filters come down fairly easily for me. Have always been that way and was confused by it more than once growing up.
Would you please list some of your most-recommended Prolog books? Old-fashioned Prolog AI books sound like a joy to read.
Taking that argument to its logical conclusion, there should be no public policy whatsoever. Every single policy has at its roots an evidenceless belief. As an extreme example, "Seat belts save lives" is an objective truth, but "Saving lives is a good thing" is an evidenceless belief. That is it believed by the vast majority of the human race in no way constitutes evidence.

Evidenceless beliefs are what need to dictate the goals of policy, because there is no other way to decide on a goal. Once the goal has been decided, objective truths must be what determine the best way to reach that goal.
It's controversial because you're conflating diversity in who people are (that they didn't choose, and can't change), vs. what they choose (actions and ideas that can be changed if the individual so chooses).

Can you explain why prediction is predicated on physicalism? For example, Hume argues the opposite, and his argument is furthered by Wolpert's No Free Lunch Theorem. It seems like if prediction is possible it is only because physicalism is false.

This is awesome and I hope will allow more people to experiment with algorithms, instead of only re-applying OpenAI's baselines. Baselines are great, but are very hard (for me, at least) to tinker with.

It helps me to understand something new if I can controllably break it. In other words, I progress by predicting the edge-conditions when something shouldn't work - and then testing if algorithm indeed experienced expected type of failure. Transparent algorithm implementation is key for this.

One thing, which I immediately checked in the spinningup-repo is if it uses TF Eager. And it doesn't. @OpenAI what's your reasoning for that?

The idea here is something we've lost from our thinking, one of those virtues Deirdre McCloskey writes about, the idea of faith, that there are things we have to take as felt not as demonstrated by science.

Even if we don't understand everything scientifically now, even some things that we feel, does not mean that we cannot try to do so in the future. I accept faith only as a step towards scientific understanding.

Good point technically but I think some subjective valuations are widespread enough to be able to be considered objective, such as "alive/animate things are better than dead/inanimate things", and "joy is superior to pain", and "murdering is bad". And regarding pain/pleasure, you can always do what doctors do and ask patients to assign the intensity a number from 1-10, which is basically a hack that takes a qualitative subjective valuation into the quantitative objective world where it can then be reasoned about.

We already do this in a quite literal way with money, the price of things follows the subjective valuation of those things, so for example if a bit of paint on canvas in a frame which would otherwise only be worth $40 is the Mona Lisa, then it is suddenly (and seemingly magically) worth $800 million. You could use this to evaluate joy and harm as well, in the form "what is the maximum amount of money you would spend to be able to eliminate this harm or to experience this joy?"

You're focusing on an aspect of Neurons in which there isn't even an accurate understanding and attempting to make a direct mapping to computer hardware. This is framing w/o understanding and you should be able to clearly understand why you can't make analysis or forward projections based on it.

Video cards operate on a pretty limited scope of computing that might not even be compatible with Neuron's fundamental algorithm. The only thing SIMD has proven favorable towards is basic mathematics operations with low divergence which is why Optimization algorithm based NN function so well on them.

This is the entrapment many people in the industry fall for. The first step towards AGI is in admitting you have zero understanding of what it is. If one doesn't do this and simply projects their schooling/thinking and try to go from there, you end up with a far shorter accomplishment.

You can't back derive aspects of this problem. You have to take your gloves off and study the biology from the bottom up and spend the majority of your time in the theoretical/test space. Not many are willing to do this even in the highest ranking universities (Which is why I didn't pursue a PhD).

There is far too little motivation for true understanding in this world which is why the majority of the world's resources and efforts are spent on circling the same old time test wagons.. Creating problems then creating a business model to solve it. We are only fooling ourselves in this mindless endeavors. When you break free long enough, you see it for what it is and also see the paths towards more fundamental pursuits. Such pursuits aren't socially celeberated or rewarded. So, you're pretty much on your own.

> As I see it, that's what AGI is, and that seems to scare people, forcing them to confront their most deeply held beliefs about the meaning of life, religion, etc.

One thing about this interesting Universe is that when a thing's time has come it comes. It points to a higher order of things. There's great reason and purpose to address these problems now and its why AGI isn't far off. If you look at various media/designs, society is already beckoning for it.
Taking issue with the problem statement isn't the same as running away from the question. You're presenting a false dichotomy.

In some imaginary world where you are somehow being compelled to chose between a button that says "Drone Strike" and one that says "Carpet Bombing", obviously "Drone Strike" is the correct option. But, equally obviously, that is a terrible model for reality. In reality, the decision maker always has the option to not kill anybody at that time. Yes, always. There might be other consequences for that choice, but admitting that it exists isn't pacifism, it's just common sense.

There are lawsuits against the makers of Oxy for misrepresenting and pushing Oxy as such a miracle cure. It seems to be well understood by now that opioids are/were highly over prescribed, and there are a ton of addicts now whose lives have been ruined.

I also want to note that drugs often make life feel better, and a lot of peoples' lives for the past decade+ haven't been great. There is a social component to addiction that is inadequately talked about.

I would also suggest considering pressing your electeds regarding funding for long-lived independent drug studies for drugs such as ecstacy/MDMA, LSD, etc, as well as passing legislation inhibiting regulatory capture. I would like to see, for instance, marijuana effects thoroughly studied legally in long-lived large-cohort studies. There is potential here, but no silver herb, er, bullet.
Actually I agree with you, it's not about the money but addiction.

> Just to be clear so you say that there is nothing non-GPL in the software that is bought there?

Correct. There are trademarked components (graphics, etc.) that cannot be redistributed but they are not software. The same is true for Mozilla Firefox, for example, even though it's both gratis ("free beer") and libre ("free speech").

There are also a few "supplementary" packages that are non-free but it's stuff like Oracle JDK or Adobe Reader. It's more akin to Debian nonfree than to an open-core model.

> Self-support (1 year)' contract - this sounds like there is no support, training or access to consultants being bought there.

Correct, in that case you only pay for certifications, knowledge base (which is also part of support) and access to the updates.

Just because the desired altitude was a total error, doesn't mean the plane "simply fell from the sky". The same would hold for an incorrect heading for your destination, would the aircraft heel over at breakneck speed with the wings at the vertical?...I think not.

I can see how without detailed information you could frame it like that. But in reality, US gets world-class military research and development and intelligence from the region, and in return dumps shiny military hardware that mostly just collects dust in hangars, just so american military industrial complex doesn't have to cut jobs in some congressional districts.

I mean, it's nice that we have F-35s now, but with the support we give to US in the region, I don't think we actually get a fair deal out of this relationship.

Why would running these things on your phone be faster?
Humans will always need to move around, yet it's not clear how we'll move around in the future. While self-driving cars have potential it's not clear that dense urban areas will make a ton of sense for them, and so perhaps bikes or scooters or something else will become the norm.

On the other hand, we spend enormous amounts of money on other solutions like busses or underground metro systems in dense urban areas which have significant problems like not taking you where you want to go. If there are systems which do get you where you want to go you might not have to make those up front and gigantic investments in future.

If you have systems which are point to point, then the value of real estate that isn't near a metro stop can go up since you don't have to price in the walk from that place to a metro stop. There are all kinds of fun implications.

Also, scooters might only be step 1. Maybe self-driving scooters with a 5 mile range are step 2, or something.

So if you compare to existing systems you can argue that scooter valuations are cheap if that's the direction we're going, though that isn't certain.

Also consider Chromebooks. You get the desktop version of Chrome (ie whatever extensions you want), windowed interface, runs Android apps, and via the rapidly maturing Crostini project you can also run Linux apps. Heck on Intel based Chromebooks you can run Steam and use Proton/SteamPlay to run Windows games (and other Windows apps).

The nicest thing about the Chromebooks is that the software is identical, but the hardware varies from $200 cheapo devices all the way up to almost $2,000. This means you are far more likely to find your own sweet spot of price, size, memory & cpu, storage etc.

Some also have LTE so can be used as an alternative to a phone.

"the only way to solve our social problems to think of "better" ways to use the planet?"

I am skeptical. What if instead of designing new tools and new ways of exploiting natural resources, we also shifted our cultural mores and practices to encourage more efficiency and less waste? New shiny tools are great, but there's something to be said for maintaining what's already laid down and properly utilizing what's already available.

There is a book on this dichotomy of environmentalists vs technologists, and how one group advocates efficiency/conservation and the other advocates innovation/change. I think both schools of thought are needed to move forward to the best outcome, wouldn't you agree?

"Feynman reported 126, James Watson, co-discoverer of DNA, 124 — which is exactly the same range as legions of mediocre scientists."

Can we stop the Feynman had an IQ of 126 narrative? Many people doubt his IQ was in the 120 range. IQ scores, despite what people thing, are not always accurate. Feynman is an example of such a case. Plus, you'd typically report a range on IQ exams. Given a 5+/- point range that could place him in the 131 category, which still feels too low for someone as brilliant as he was.

>"Feynman received the highest score in the country by a large margin on the notoriously difficult Putnam mathematics competition exam, although he joined the MIT team on short notice and did not prepare for the test." [0]

Someone that does that, most likely does not have a 126 IQ. Given his accomplishments in Physics, it is likely he is more intelligent than any IQ test gave him credit for.
