Yes, programming is fighting against other programmers and their bugs, which becomes demotivating if you don't need the money. So I left in 1997 after my 0b100000th birthday. Thought that investing in stock index certificates will get me 11% per year on average. And then the dotcom bubble exploded and I run out of money in 2018. Luckily, my family supports me and I don't need much for a living.

Reply to [D] Suggestions for large-scale company name standardization? by Super-Martingale

The same problem exists with music artists. One solution is not to repeat the work that has already been done by others.

  1. Scrape https://www.chartsurfer.de/archiv/artist-a.html for a list of all artist names.

  2. Scrape https://www.discogs.com/de/artist/28795-Prince for a list of alias names for each artist.

  3. Do just simple Levensthein for spelling errors and prompt the user if in doubt.

Real molecular assembly exists for a long time and is called biology. Remember that guy's name is Gene Roddenberry! But getting genetically modified bacteria to produce custom materials and structures is difficult. Maybe there will be some progress as protein folding is nearly solved now.

>I would like to know when you joined the Singularity subreddit.

Approximately 5 years ago under another account: https://camas.unddit.com/#{%22author%22:%22wlorenz65%22,%22resultSize%22:100,%22before%22:%222017-05-16T22:00:00.000Z%22}

>And if you've been here for a while (let's say 5-10 years), have you become more optimistic as time has passed, or have you become less optimistic?

Neither nor, I've just become more unconcerned.

>I'd also like to know what brought you here, but you don't have to include that part.

Vengeance on the genes that have built my ageing and hurting human body plus an engineer's mindset to solve problems by technology.

Reply to How would you program Love into AI? by AutoMeta

By giving it sensors so that it can see me. As it is intelligent, it will find out that its own rewards depend on me and therefore love me because I can make the bad hunger and damage feelings go away. (Hopefully, it doesn't get intelligent enough to find out that it was me too, who implemented its ability to sense those bad hunger and damage feelings at all, Muuhhhahahha.)

Reply to [D] Why can't language models, like GPT-3, continuously learn once trained? by SejaGentil

>what is stopping us from using the same algorithm we use for training, when using the network?

Our inability to produce 1.56 trillion tokens. A human can produce ~200 tokens per minute and works for ~50 years, 8 hours per day and 5 days per week. That's 200 × 60 × 8 × 5 × 52 × 50 = 1.25 billion tokens, so three orders of magnitude too few.

That's a shadow of a person moving outside the camera view that falls onto the dog, and not a movement of the dog itself. Though, I also think that person's shadow should move and not just fade in out of nowhere.
