I recall a story where the Brits would report V2 hits in locations far away from where they actually hit, and German intelligence communicated this to the targeting teams who then amended the V2 flight courses rendering them essentially moot.
Should I be butthurt at Carmacks approach to AGI (10:58)? I feel like I know enough of the risks but not enough of what Carmack is attempting.
We've had limits placed on human genome experimentation, but it seems the ability for 'independently wealthy empowered actors' to descend to supercomputers in their basement and make the decision for us on AGI progress is beyond reproach.
Does Carmack go into depth anywhere about his area of focus?
I wish him all the best. 4channers are obsessive and wouldn't hesitate to ruin his life or doxx him years after he left. I recall how careful he had to be when we was admin, even having people doxx his mother, following him home from the subway etc. I think it reflects really well on his character how he managed to leave that stuff behind. Sometimes I wonder if there was some sort of government entity setting him up for a new life in return for handing over the keys.
He certainly has it in him for another startup, his name alone could still generate hype (or attacks) on anything he creates. YC should keep their ears peeled.
I hope one day he agrees to a lengthy in-depth interview or documentary.
Dave Ackley is using cellular automata for new computational architectures.
Its really cool stuff and you'll no doubt love it if you're keen on that stuff. He's also got a youtube channel under his name that is really worth checking out.
Very interesting! Added to my list for algorithms to use in generative art seeds. Was already looking for computer architecture geometries to visualise and play around with.
It looks like conventional OSB sheathing, the surprising part is that it doesn't have an integrated coating to repel water. This means that housewrap will have to be applied to protect the sheathing from water damage, this is both labor intensive and the potential for misapplication increases the risk of water damage.
Yes. That's called sheeting, and it's a type of thin plywood that's used over the (solid wood) framing of the house to support the housewrap (which functions as a vapor barrier) and whatever type of exterior siding goes on it.
Between the framing studs would be insulation, and on the inside of that goes drywall.
This is really intriguing but its kinda flying over my head as to why, and the comments on the tweet are very speculative. I'm still gonna try to cop a DVD-ROM drive if I can find one, they all seem to be RW.
Interesting way to put it.
