I was thinking… What if we do manage to make the AI as intelligent as a human, but we can’t make it better than that? Then, the human intelligence AI will not be able to make itself better, since it has human intelligence and humans can’t make it better either.

Another thought would be, what if making AI better is exponentially harder each time. So it would be impossible to get better at some point, since there wouldn’t be enough resources in a finite planet.

Or if it takes super-human intelligence to make human-intelligence AI. So the singularity would be impossible there, too.

I don’t think we will see the singularity, at least in our lifetime.

I was working in my (poor third world) government job, and our keyboard broke. Replacements took months, since they only bought mouse and keyboards in bulk once per year or so, and they ran out of.

I had a second job working as a contractor for a private company, where we were contracted for a public hospital providing system administration and technical support. We had some old PS2 keyboards that were to be decommissioned, but since they didn’t have inventory number, I got hold of them and brought some to my other job.

So I donated some equipment from one area of government to another, but it was kinda illegal, lol 😆.

The color looks really cool.

Sennheiser headphones that I bought for about $20 about 10 years ago. The cable is indestructible. I once had to resolder it to the speakers because it my cat pulled it out, but the cable itself has endured all kinds of abuse without breaking. And the sound is fantastic.

I think you can also synthesize it from ipomoea seeds, which have LSA, so it’s a much shorter path

I don’t have a story, but I have a setting that’s been really underutilized.

We, as a species, were nomadic for hundreds of thousands of years. We had tens of thousands of years of cohabitation with other hominids, intermingling, making important and powerful discoveries, exploring, etc.

And there’s no one using that for a story?

The only stories about that time that I see are about dumb cavemen or ice age migration.

These people had the same mental capacity that we have now. They had culture, rituals, trade, interesting things.

So yeah, a story set in the prehistoric times.

Arch is very powerful and flexible, but definitely not newbie friendly. I only made the jump after 7 years of using Ubuntu and Debian, and I still had a learning curve.

You do it in teams and call your workmate!

Yup. And with regional pricing, the discrepancy between a game’s price and hardware price is even greater.

For example, BG3 is around 15 dollars in Argentina, but a 2TB SSD is around 130 dollars.

I posted about microplastics reducing sperm levels like 8 years ago on Reddit and my post got mocked like if I was a MRA and that if they did, it was a good thing because world overpopulation. So yeah, these people exist.

I think it would be auctioned and sold to the highest bidder.

In Argentina it’s against the law too. I have never seen anyone, ever, stop at a stop sign. At most people slow down a little more than usual. Not even cops stop at stop signs. But if you don’t stop in your driver test, they can theoretically deny your license. So this is definitely a regional thing.

Fwiw, I visited a lot of South American countries, and Argentina is one of the most respectful of traffic laws. But yeah, stop signs are merely a suggestion at best. People slow down way more in a “dangerous crossing” sign, than a stop sign.

What about knowledge-graph augmented LLM?

This is a good video about it: https://youtu.be/WqYBx2gB6vA

I want to try this project: https://github.com/jwzhanggy/Graph_Toolformer

Nocta?

The best offline backup is a piece of paper.

You would hate Nocta lol
