As Asimov explains: "let's start with the three fundamental Rules of Robotics - the three rules that are built most deeply into a robot's positronic brain". The trouble is that the rules themselves consist of terms like "human" and "injure" - concepts that only arise at the *highest* level of an LLM. There's no way to build them "most deeply" into the system.

For the ISP to "update and secure" my router it must be accessible from outside. That's exactly what I don't want.

One might expect a decrease in the death rate (even age-adjusted) after a pandemic, as a disproportionate number of unhealthy people will have already died. So it will be interesting to see if this continues.

What is "G Suite"? If I have a Gmail address, am I using G Suite?

Why was such a conference being held in a country where it would have to "fully [align] with national procedures, diplomatic protocols, and the broader objective of fostering a balanced and consensus-driven platform for dialogue"?

It's interesting to look at Google's graph (https://www.google.com/intl/en/ipv6/statistics.html). You can see that there's a greater proportion of IPv6 use at weekends, when the ratio of phone to work use is higher. And if you look around March 2020, when covid lockdowns started, the difference between work days and weekends reduces substantially.

Why is an antenna build into the window better then one on the outside of the train?

"would you really rather deal with the average car lot shark than a computer". No, I'd rather by a car like I buy everything else, without any interaction with a salesman human or synthetic.

Don't but anything with a screen that doesn't need it.

I couldn't have told you which mine had without looking.

There is a (relatively slow) algorithm for finding the Nth digit of pi, which can be used to check the last few digits calculated. If the last digits match, the chance of there being an error is negligible. Look up the "Bailey-Borwein-Plouffe formula".

The light is reflected onto a patch 250 times as wide as the mirror, or 60,000 times the area. So it's going to be 60,000 times less bright than the sun. That's not going to generate much power.

It's been possible to order a flying car on the internet for 30 years. It's just getting one delivered that's the problem.

Never trust anything that calls itself official.

.. in order to limit the computatonal power needed by the simulator.
