how much more for the product/service would you be willing to pay for a human operator on the other side or conversely, how cheap would the non-human supported product/service have to be for you to choose it over the more expensive human supported option?
Better question, how much is a company willing to pay me to use an LLM instead of going to one of their competitors?
Because if the answer is insultingly small then I’m not patronizing them.
Short answer is “Yes but your mileage may vary”.
Actually blocking microwaves effectively requires more than just a sheet of aluminum foil, but it’s a start: https://haitmfg.com/microwave-shielding-materials/
Give away the dollar to the first homeless person I see and then spend 24 hours in search of a hangout with a good vibe.
Precisely. It’s those boundary areas where the jet and the medium interact where it gets complicated.
Sort of. The speed of light in a vacuum is the speed of causality, nothing can go faster than the maximum speed at which one part of the universe can effect another.
It is possible for fluids to move faster than the speed of sound in the fluid around it, such as the exhaust products of a supersonic jet engine, but in these cases not all of the fluid is operating like a wave. The core of the jet experiences a laminar flow where all of the fluid is moving in the same direction and at roughly the same speed, like a laser instead of a flashlight. At the boundaries of this laminar flow exists a turbulent region where the fluid interacts with the surrounding medium and is slowed to subsonic speeds.
Any reviewer that doesn’t start by ctrl-f-ing some LLM keywords isn’t worth their salary.
What the two other replies have neglected to mention as the cool side-effect of light affecting the curvature of spacetime despite being massless is that it’s theoretically possible to make a black hole out of nothing but light. The concept is called a “Kugelblitz”, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kugelblitz_(astrophysics)
I’m regularly mistaken for being more than a dozen years younger than I am. =D
It’s still a matter of timescale, as in “how far future are we talking?”. On a stellar scale, they’d need to get here in the next billion years or so before the expansion of the sun boils off everything above the lithosphere. On a geological scale, it’s only a couple hundred million years 'til everything that isn’t already buried or washed into the sea is getting squashed into a new pangea. On a climatological scale, corrosion and decay/overgrowth will render almost all artifacts unrecognizable within a couple of thousand years, though it’d be a few tens of thousands before our impact on the atmosphere is nulled. On a human timescale, the inverse-square law means that our radio signals are only detectable without astronomically-sized antennas within a shell of a few dozen light years or so.
How humid is the area where they were stored? Is it subject to significant swings in temperature like direct sunlight?
I’m deliberately vague about the form of this help because I think that trying to keep track of who owns what is actively harmful to human society and we should abolish private property entirely.
It won’t help the kleptos so much as it will limit the impact of their offenses to the personal scale rather than industrial or national scales.
And instead of getting them help with their kleptomania, we built an economy where the richest thieves control the world.
Turns out it isn’t more economic, as you have to substitute the energy that’s carried away by the evaporating water with a commensurate amount of radiators and the extra electric power needed to pump through that cooling loop:
Again, literally all machines can be expressed in the form of statistics.
You might as well be saying that both LLMs and human intelligence exist because that’s all that can be concluded from the equivalence you are trying to draw.
The problem with your line of reasoning is that “probability machines” are Turing-complete, and could therefore be used to emulate any computable processes. The statement is literally equivalent to “the mind is a computer”, which is itself a thought-terminating clichè that ignores the actual complexities involved.
Nobody’s arguing that simulated or emulated consciousness isn’t possible, just that if it were as simple as you’re making it out to be then we’d have figured it out decades ago.
I’m basing that on the amount of compute power available then.
I think that if the human mind was a simple “probability gadget” then we’d have discovered and implemented the algorithm of consciousness in human-level AI 30 years ago.
Likewise, reducing humanity to “probability gadgets”.
I kinda need this shirt… >_>
