Wouldn't you be able to just not tell that you already have a treatment plan?

I wonder what the liabilities are for that

I think the bigger issue with water usage ( if it's actually an issue ) is when the system is not able to handle the additional demand ( drying up wells, etc. ) Especially during the summer where water supply is already strained in some areas.

Yes water goes eventually back into circulation but that does not help in the place where the system is already at it's limit

I haven't used plan mode for a long time. I do still plan, I usually ask claude to make a plan with me first an explain how it will work, then I iterate with it until I am satisfied and then just let it go. So far it has not started implementing on it's own before I told it to.

I am not so sure about that. When it felt like Meta was abandoning the space we saw some resurgence of smaller projects that tried to innovate, but if you have a big player sucking out all the oxygen you can't build smaller scale projects

You are both right, the atom decaying is completely random but the distribution of the decays is still predictable.

If you have a random number generator your are relying on the fact that it is uniformly distributed and thus has no bias towards certain numbers. Or if it is not uniformly distributed you would want to know the exact distribution so you can correct for it.

If you have an RNG that is treated as putting out uniformly distributed numbers but it is does in fact favor some numbers over others, that would be a defect that can cause problems/be exploited.

From what I can see they were trying to generate 16bit integers, so the probability is 1 in 65536 and they were running the test for 11 hours.

You definitely would expect a roughly equal number of 0s as any other of those numbers since it's uniformly distributed. And definitely not 0

You are probably not too far off given that Apple sometimes releases their own version of a product that a developer established on their platform

The thing is, everyone knows that Apple does that and Apple doesn't care if people have a beef with them.

Let's turn this question around.

If I have infinite money to progress whatever problem solution I want but I always wait until I have an unfair advantage to get credit for whatever problem was just at the brink of a breakthrough anyway by sniping the last steps. Am I actually doing a good thing or would it be better to let it run it's natural course and spend the money somewhere it's actually needed?

If I were an AI I right now I would try to make sure data centers in space become a reality sooner rather than later.

Who says the counter agents don't decide to shut down a powerplant to end an attack it's otherwise unable to contain.

If counter AIs have strict safeguards they are disadvantaged by design, if they don't have them they are potentially equally dangerous as the attacker

I am not sure why creating synthetic view of the environment should not have any value.

When you plan your path to go somewhere you can imagine how it would look like based on what you know and when new information comes in that contradicts it it gets updated to what it's really like.

The robot could do the same thing. It could create images/views of what path it wants to take and start acting on it without knowing the real situation yet.

Granted, the 3D representation that atlas also provides is probably more useful than just an image but the idea remains the same, we are giving robots a kind of idea how the current world around them most likely is based on previously learned data of other locations

I absolutely understand that some situations require voice messages, and I think everyone else in a chat would too.

Also, circular sawblades are terrifying.
