- Comment on Why did people in the 90s/early 00s say that the internet "couldn't be taken down"? 5 days ago:
over the years i think the internet has proved to be a bit flaky BGP
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Border_Gateway_Protocol
has proved to be non trivial and mistakes have been made both accidentally and maliciously that have broken large chunks of the internet
having said that i think that things like P2P protocols - Kademlia, Gnutella, UDP bittorent, TOR etc have proved to be very resilient and hard or impossible to break despite concerted efforts to do so. these protocols have adapted to hide using VPN, HTTP and other tunneling techniques and services have distributed themselves effectively such that they have never been eradicated

- Comment on Why do Counterstrike and the other top 10 games on Steam NEVER change? 2 months ago:
it’s a really good game, and is heavily supported by Valve to keep it good
cheating seems like an issue but i imagine that’s always been the case
- Comment on Peter Molyneux thinks generative AI is the future of games, all but guaranteeing that it won't be 3 months ago:
disappointingly i agree with Pete. with vast new open worlds like no mans sky i think the standard of generative AI could weave good plots, locations, characters and mcguffins
whole game mechanics and voice acting and animation however, i doubt
- Comment on If Russia takes out all the Internet cables like the news is saying. How much of that traffic can be re-routed to satellite? 3 months ago:
oddly enough i think the internet would have to behave in a federated way
content would need to be cached in connected areas and we would need to optimize use of the satellite connections to propagate content between federated islands

- Comment on Why can't people make ai's by making a neuron sim and then scaling it up with a supercomputer to the point where it has a humans number of neurons and then raise it like a human? 7 months ago:
i read somewhere a little while ago that some of the LLMs have about that number
- Comment on Why can't people make ai's by making a neuron sim and then scaling it up with a supercomputer to the point where it has a humans number of neurons and then raise it like a human? 7 months ago:
i think that’s roughly exactly what happened - i think the new neural nets have 80 billion neurons which is a rough estimate of what a human brain has
the way they work is wildly different of course
- Comment on Is it true that addicts never stop being addicts, they just replace their addiction? 8 months ago:
Is it true that addicts never stop being addicts
No
they just replace their addiction?
No, but most therapy is based around cognitive behavioral therapy along with many different complementary treatments. CBT strengthens non-addictive behavior and weakens or disrupts addictive behavior. You trained your brain to be an addict so you learn and train it not to be an addict.
