How does this impact AT Protocol? I’m just hearing about AT now, so I’m not familiar

I’m trying to figure out how they misinterpreted things to come up with that statement. Maybe they are mixing up start-up draw and constant draw? Idk

I think the article stated that 8% of the respondents who said they had a “bad trip” had their trip in a clinical trial. Not that 8% of clinical trials resulted in a bad trip.

Invisalign actually helped my OSA a ton, that and nasal surgery for deviated septum brought my AHI from 40 down to 8.

It’s kind of ironic that the Supreme Court keeps declaring parts of the government as unconstitutional, when its own powers are not defined in the constitution. Edit: when the power of Judicial Review (to declare a law unconstitutional) was not defined in the constitution. It was a result of Hylton v United States in 1796 and Marbury v Madison in 1803

This may betray my ignorance, but it seems kind of silly to try to create artificial intelligence that has no ability to sense/interact with its environment and boundaries. If we want true non-biological intelligence shouldn't we start with something simple that can "sense" its environment, and try to create something in machine code or assembly?

If we want to replicate life, shouldn't we replicate the system of small, mostly self-contained, life-like systems that form a part of a larger life-like system?

There’s a really neat book (fiction) that touches on this concept. It’s called Blindsight by Peter Watts.

I use instrumental music or one song with a good rhythm on repeat. Since the song is on repeat, it doesn’t matter that there are lyrics - it all becomes part of the background rhythm.

Sorry, I’m not following. Are you saying they are able to use this now? Or that it can’t be used now?

I mean we already see the issues with international supply chains failing during covid, and we haven’t even really seen the significant impacts from climate change. Yeah, most people on HN aren’t going to really need this in the next 5-10 years as we’re predominantly in locations that will be maintained the longest. What about people in countries that already barely have functioning supply chains? This could be immediately useful for them.

Oh I’m so glad someone has already started working on something like this. This has been one of my biggest concerns for a while

Edit: Are there any easy entry points to this ecosystem for people interested in the concept but not familiar with the details? Like a competition to see who can get this up and running some set program the fastest on microprocessors found in the trash/recycling? Or what’s the most unexpected device people can get this running on?
