> requires a model of how consciousness works.

Not necessarily an entire model, just a single defining characteristic that can serve as a falsifying example.

> any information they can communicate to me, exists entirely in (R^n)^c

Also no. This is just a result of the digital medium we are currently communicating over. Merely standing in the same room as them would communicate information outside (R^n)^c.


This could become a big issue if neuralink's technology is to be taken seriously.


Isn’t this basically the point they were making?

One of the most significant use cases that gets impacted is game dev.

Web games benefit significantly from SAB (see the Godot engine for example) and mobile games make up a pretty sizable chunk of app store usage, particularly in app purchases.

That’s called “source available”. Open source colloquially implies open license.


The dress code is pretty outdated and doesn’t add anything of substance. Let the players be comfortable, we just want to see good chess!


Yeah, jeans should qualify as dressy enough for a chess championship in 2024. It's presentable and not insulting. We left the 50's a long time ago.


My friend, you have eaten the onion.


I'm not from the US so naturally they've confused me in the past.

more than once I caught myself clicking on a shared headline of theirs, so I've added them to my DNS blocklist to avoid giving them clicks, decades ago.

my problem is not with their obviously ridiculous headlines, but the ones that hit the grey area, where it's as much good humor as a screamer is good horror.


The thing is the onion is pretty much always ridiculous, so if some of them are in a "gray area" I think that moreso speaks to the overall climate or your own personal biases.


More likely to be a case of not being familiar with US politics and events. We're not the world, and plenty of Americans forget that.


In what world does disallowing blatantly anticompetitive behavior constitute a significant economic change?


Ours

I actually stumbled across this paper while researching exactly that question! A reliable method for transforming gaussians into geometry seems like it could dramatically change the gamedev asset pipeline.


I agree! Also I think it could open up entire new types of games.
