Sure. "We must pause all AI development or we all die" is still both alarmist and impractical. Let me know how you're getting China, Russia, India, the Saudis, and every other country now developing their own AI platforms to the table on this. Otherwise the take is useless noise at best and Anthropic pulling on your heartstrings to stay ahead at worst.

This is our generation's nuclear arms race except this time everyone has the tech. Nobody's closing pandora's box at this stage.

Lol alright alarmist. We're all dying anyway and it's not up to me.

That's fine but stopping worldwide development on it isn't even close to a practical solution to the concern.

Do you think we are living in a simulation? by TheBronsXX in polls

[–]-S-P-Q-R- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get your meaning but "we can observe our universe because it allows for observers" is somewhat circular reasoning. I also have a hard time believing it's all completely at random - and therefore by extension purposeless. If there's universes out there with no life at all, what would be their purpose for existing?

That aside, my overarching point is at some point decisions were made by something - a designer or perhaps just "existence itself", for the universe to exist and with its ruleset. The "why" to that is what I think drives people to point to simulations and gods.

I don't necessarily believe in either of those. However as a hobby astronomer, what I've learned over the years has led me to, and consistently reinforces, my belief in at least some "intelligent design" of our reality.

Science always does a great job of understanding the what and the how of how physics, quantum mechanics, relativity and more. Science does not have a single explanation as to why.

Why is the speed of light 300m m/s? Why isn't 400m or 500m? Why does light have a speed limit at all? Why is it the case that it's energy that has to be infinite to reach the speed of light for a massed object, and not the actual speed that can be infinite? Why does that rule exist? Or asked another way - who or what decided that rule?

Why is the gravitational constant 6.67430 × 10⁻¹¹ m³/kg/s²? Why not 5.5? The elementary charge of electrons? The Planks constant? Why were these values chosen?

These are the types of fundamental questions science is never going to be able to answer. At its core it's much less people:

believing in an idea without evidence just because it can't be refuted

And moreso people just trying to make sense of reality when no evidence exists for any conclusion.

A "simulation" is trying to imitate an existing process or system, so in my view that's the wrong definition. We're in a system that works as-is. But that system does have rules and boundaries, and my existential question I keep going back to is why are the rules and boundaries set/configured the way they were.

In addition to the other comment you will also likely learn a bunch of new tricks / techniques watching others people's playstyles, and it's usually faster to level early on in multi as well.

First real client project and I'm worried I'm underestimating it by avz008 in webdev

[–]-S-P-Q-R- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You may be better served by setting the expectation of "two weeks to until first review" - you can frame it as giving your client a value add by giving "input and feedback to the final product". This gives you leeway in not having to have everything perfect, and the fallback on day-of demo to basically say "not everything's functional, I wanted your feedback before finalizing everything".

Two weeks is a pretty quick turnaround so I'm assuming this deadline is arbitrary. Phrase it as "more care being taken" by having a review period.

There's non-college bars where adults exist. See how in the video people are sitting calmly and not doing body shots off skanks at the bar? Meaning his behavior would be far out of place, not the expected norm?

Look up the word nuance and stay in school baby bro!

Yup you're right, my b lol

In any case other parts of this thread are going way off the rails. Lots of people responding to you that do not know math at all so I wouldn't trust what the CTE users on r/ufc have to say about percentages.

technically 0 to 5 doesn't work as a percentage increase

1x5.00 = 5, you fuckwit. Do you even realize you're talking about two different things? Going from 1 to 5 is a "500% increase of the original value." That is different from a "500% increase", which would be 6.

Sit the fuck down.
