In the folded state, the phone is 14mm thick throughout, but its height is significantly less than 172mm.

In the unfolded state, only the lip at the bottom remains 14mm thick. The rest is 7mm thick.

172 x 72 x 14 is a meaningless figure because it combines maximum dimensions from two different states. The fact that the lip at the bottom doesn't unfold probably adds to the confusion.

Edit: According to updated figures from GSM Arena, the folded height is 94mm -- even shorter than the old Razr. So the actual volume (ignoring curves) is 94 x 72 x 14 = 94,752mm^3 = only 31% bigger than the old one.

My best advice is to try it both ways (assuming you are interested in Test First/TDD). You'll find a sweet spot that works well for you. This is an area where I think there are lots of things that can work well. For me, my TDD is probably the sharpest knife in my kit, so I rely on it. For others, maybe there are other things. Don't let anyone tell you that there is only one way to do it. Of course you have to find a way to collaborate effectively (and that's the real difficult part), but in terms of growing as a developer I think you've got a lot of viable paths.
Do you have any more particular feelings about the limitations you mention? Wrapping external applications works (though I personally don't like doing it, as it makes porting configs between machines/OSes painful - I prefer to have everything done in Elisp), and there are debugging tools built into Emacs.

AMD not affected with the latest wave of speculative execution bugs.
I wonder how much the difficulty in bringing these building up to modern standards plays into these decisions. Over the years these building would have been fitted with a variety of different heating systems; perhaps starting with open hearth fires when they were built with large brick chimney stacks to provide thermal mass. Over the years they probably got coal gas put in, or perhaps a back boiler hot water system operating on a thermal syphon, eventually being replaced by an early gas or oil boiler central boiler.

Each of these steps leaves another complex layer of hacks, fixes and dead pipes behind making it a long and challenging job to strip out and replace.

Similarly, when built it probably had no electrical supply at all, eventually being attached to the grid and wired with mineral insulated cable and re-wirable fuses. Over the years electricians have probably updated bits of this leaving old wires in place behind walls and ceilings.

Then you have the walls which would initially be lath and lime based plasters, with horse hair for strength and arsenic to stop the rats eating it. As these buildings got more sealed up, windows improved and fireplaces boarded up the condition of the plaster deteriorated. In places the plaster is patched with modern gypsum based plasters which aren't really compatible with the naturally porous building materials.

Even if all that is fixed and updated there is little or no insulation in the construction of the building. Adding it internally can cause issues with condensation buildup in the fabric of the building and is all but impossible to achieve without fairly large cold bridges due to the existing construction. Adding it externally can't be done without significantly altering the appearance of the building.

If that is all dealt with you probably have accessibility issues with steps and narrow door ways. Possibly fire safety issues etc.
Ahh, you’re still thinking if that as 6%. Hatteras NC is 50 miles long generally less than a mile wide and the absolutely highest point is 56’ above sea level. More topically for these islands Nags Head, North Carolina averages 3’ above sea level at high tide. People build everything on stilts and It’s simply accepted that it’s all temporary at some level.

As the barrier islands essentially make up the only beach front property across half of North Carolina, that’s the only real option for vacation homes like this. That and fishing support a relatively small population, but the total investment on these islands adds into the billions.

In that context 2’ means far more than a 6% difference. Little there can withstand a cat 4+ hurricane even without the ocean, however slowly loosing inches is already making a difference.

You might be interested in the No Free Lunch Theorem (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/No_free_lunch_theorem).

For what I skimmed from your paper, it looks like the LH agents may be viewed as discrete optimization processes trying to optimize an objective/utility function across an infinite space of possible environments (infinite voters).

If it is the case, and if each environment vote has the same weight, you may be in a case of no free lunch, where the performances of all possible agents (including the random agent) will average to the same across all possible environments.

Or, to restate the above, for each environment in which an agent is doing well, it is possible to construct an "anti-environment" where the agent is performing exactly as bad.

My personal opinion on the topic of AGI is that it is actually a case of NFLT.

One Stupid Tweet Blew Up Justine Sacco’s Life (2015)
I live in Oslo and I am genuinely shocked at the quality of construction here - so many corners are cut it is insane. They are not cheap either - we're talking 15k to 25k NOK per month.

My offices are in a beautiful modern well known office district / tourist hotspot and just yesterday one of the doorframes fell off the wall in the kitchen.

My own apartment is 90sqm, modern and in a well known central "expensive" part of town, was built only a few years ago, and the floor is so noticeably slanted that my bedroom cupboard door will slide open on its own from time to time.

The floorboards (whilst stunning) feel like they are built on-top of roots and boulders - the cement was clearly not levelled properly before the boards were placed.

I put a level on the kitchen counter and the bubble is obviously not centered.

On more than one occasion I have viewed apartments in Oslo where the master bedroom is so small that the property owners have to put a door on either side of the bed so you don't have to step over the bed to get out of the room. These apartments were also in the 20k NOK range.

1 in 10 apartments have ceiling lights. Apparently Norwegians really like standing lamps?

Sure, but that's an odd reading of GP's "graphical notations like this one".

Feynman diagrams are very useful, and made respectable lots of other graphical notations. There's a nice book on this:

But diagrams as a replacement for writing out tensor indices, like in TFA, which was what I presume GP meant... these have not proven widely useful. I guess people doing tensor network things use them.

>What do you think you do when you write in assembly

You said you were an "Embedded C programmer". Why are you now switching the topic and talking about assembly? First of all there is no such objective definition of assembly. It is inherently specific to the architecture and therefore someone knowing x86 assembly doesn't mean that person also knows how to use RISC-V assembly. Since you have moved the goalpost out of the playing field by switching languages one could now conceive of an architecture that simply has no registers at all because everything is stored in RAM. Such an architecture would allow a C compiler to still produce valid code but assembly code would not be able to access any registers whatsoever. Therefore it makes equally little sense for the C programming language to have the ability to access registers.

The reason why you receive downvotess is that even people who are not "far removed from metal" disagree with your comments because you are making fun of them.

I think if you have a framework that can produce arbitrary single-task solvers (which AlphaZero can't yet), you would have something indistinguishable from AGI, since communication between single-task solvers is also kinda just a single-task solver.

It's certainly not the most efficient way to use our current hardware, and it's not clear to me how big some of these neural nets would have to be, but if we had computers with a trillion times the memory capacity and speed, IMO it'd certainly work on some level.
I missed your post and I made a similar answer.

However the idea may still be applicable if the environments votes can weighted, based on their relevance to specific domains.

“Horses don’t plan though[...]”

Can you expand on this statement? While I have no way to “debug” a horse’s brain in real-time, my experiences suggest they absolutely conduct complex decision-making while engaging in activities.

Two examples which immediately come to mind where I believe I see evidence of “if this, then that” planning behavior:

1. Equestrian jumping events; horses often balk before a hurdle

2. Herds of wild horses reacting to perceived threats and then using topographic and geographic features to escape the situation.

And I guarantee you that these teens in past centuries didn't like it either.

There's a reason our living conditions are significantly better today, and we didn't reach that state by repeating the same dumb mistakes every time.
n=1, but sure:

* Teenage life is a constant struggle against rules laid down by adults. They have money, legal power, and cultural experience. To be fair, teens are brats.

* Between me and my three siblings, only one of us did not cause the parents to consider divorce. Two siblings did cause divorces.

* The factory system really doesn't work. I recall ranting in debate class about how there isn't a single industry whose entry-level workflows are taught in school and yet high-schoolers are expected to be qualified to enter the workforce after graduation.

* 50% sounds quite low. Almost everybody hated school. In order to not hate school, one would have to be liked by teachers, high-performing both academically and in clubs, not mind hours of studying and cramming, and be at the top of the social hierarchy. I can think of maybe two people from my graduating class who definitely did not hate school, one of whom was valedictorian.

* Social networks are essential. Even as the weird geeky kid, people still constantly sent me instant messages and chats. Cell phones weren't yet common; I can only imagine that teens are even more gregarious now.

And sure, kids shouldn't marry young. I only saw one pair of teens doing that in my graduating class, but it does happen occasionally.

Mathematically speaking, current computers run in discrete (integer/countable) space, and the human brain exists in continuous (real/uncountable) space. Cantor showed that continuous space is larger than, and thus cannot be represented in, discrete space (via diagonal method). I suggest that AGI and consciousness lie in continuous space, and thus are unreachable with our current discrete computation model, regardless of how sophisticated we make it. There exists a cardinality barrier.
