It was sold and resold a number of times

There are better cryptocurrencies for the actual use case of currencies than bitcoin like monero

For Norway a good chunk of the news on our state-run newspaper is related to the US as well. Especially the recent Epstein stuff

Other than that it's Israel/Palestine, Ukraine/Russia, some other international news, sports, the current heatwave, a little about nature, a little about new infrastructure projects, a news story about hate speech, and a couple other misc stories

Zero day is typically defined as there being zero days since the vulnerability is known to the developer, in other words, it being unknown at the time of the exploit.

Yes I know what vacuum decay is, and the thing I referenced, the inflaton field, is a hypothetized false vacuum near the very start of the universe, that went through this exact process, giving rise to our current vacuum and ending the hypothetized inflation era

I know there's a hypothesis that our current vacuum could be metastable as well, but that's a seperate thing

Do you think online is magically separated from the world?

Astronomy is critical towards understanding the foundational principles of reality. Observing the universe around us is the guide for where physics should follow

And I think most people would agree that understanding how our world works, the physics of it all, is very very useful in unforeseen ways. Cannot hope to make a circuit if you don't know how electricity works, right?

That is literally what the current big bang theory says! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inflationary_epoch?wprov=sfla1

She always gave me off vibes. I didn't really understand why she got the recognition she did

Yes, and that has always been the debate

But the short answer is that we don't really have a good grasp at what intelligence is, so it is all semantics in the end

The funny thing is, is that the goalposts on what is/isn't intelligent has always shifted in the AI world

Being good at chess used to be a symbol of high intelligence. Now? Computer software can beat the best chess players in a fraction of the time used to think, 100% of the time, and we call that just an algorithm

This is not how intelligence has always been used. Moreover, we don't even have a full understand of what intelligence is

And as a final note, human brains are also computational "tools". As far as we can tell, there's nothing fundamentally different between a brain and a theoretical Turing machine

And in a way, isn't what we "spit" out also data? Specifically data in the form of nerve output and all the internal processing that accompanies it?

Because as long as you're satiated at a decent calorie level and have a good balance of nutrients, it doesn't matter too much what you eat

Food such as pasta or pizza isn't objectively bad for you. I wonder if people think that because they associate it with being tasty, and think that anything tasty must be bad
