It's literally the very first post ever posted on Openbook. It clearly states that the first line of tags following the content of the post should be 2 to 3 tags describing the post, starting from the broadest topic to the most specific subject. This is like our "Dewey Decimal System" on Openbook. This is how we categorize information, so that Openbook can be a useful tool, an accessible bank of knowledge that's easily navigated so that we can all use it to learn from each other efficiently. We take the extra time to check what tags are already listed on the "Search" page so we can see if there are pre-existing tags which are suitable to use. We do this to avoid lots of useless tags that all mean the same thing, or mean nothing at all. We try to have one tag for each meaning, so try not to create new tags unless there's no way to describe your post with existing tags.
So please, against all odds, please struggle to describe your post succinctly with three increasingly specific tags, no more, on the first line of tags after the post's content. This makes it easy for all of us to see what the content of a post is about, at a glance, so we don't waste each other's time. If you need to tag it with more than the three tags, just put those tags on a separate line after the first line of tags. Or put them in the text of the post.
27 months ago Here is a thoughtful proposal about how to stop advanced AI, specifically Artificial General Intelligence, from becoming superintelligent and killing us all. A well-known top AI researcher has called for preventative measures to bomb data centers which contain the AI data training, and put a hard legal limit on the computational power used in an AGI system.
As a solution, Yudkowsky suggests a moratorium on new large training runs, which should be indefinite and worldwide.
He recommends shutting down all the large GPU clusters, which are the large computer farms where the most powerful AIs are refined, and putting a ceiling on how much computing power anyone is allowed to use in training an AI system.
Yudkowsky argues that no exceptions should be made for governments and militaries, and that immediate multinational agreements are needed to prevent prohibited activities from moving elsewhere.
In order to enforce these regulations, Yudkowsky proposes tracking all GPUs sold, and being less scared of a shooting conflict between nations than of the moratorium being violated. He suggests that rogue data centres should be destroyed by airstrikes if necessary."
Here's a great article on what homeless camps are constantly dealing with. Even as the homeless invent ingenious solutions to their own problems, the City of Portland, Oregon keeps trying to tear down the grass roots solutions only to erect their own top-down model of the same thing.
With the rise of government monitoring programs, qTox provides an easy to use application that allows you to connect with friends and family without anyone else listening in.
While other big-name services require you to pay for features, qTox is totally free, and comes without advertising.
Nowadays, every government seems to be interested in what we're saying online. qTox is built on a "privacy goes first" agenda, and we make no compromises. Your safety is our top priority, and there isn't anything in the world that will change that.
qTox is a client made to work with a decentralized protocol called Matrix. To learn more about that: https://matrix.org/
OK, it's basically like flash. Like flash, you can just use it for animation, but you can also make it jump from frame to frame and it interprets Javascript code so it can get quite advanced.
Basically, you can use it for frame-by-frame animation, but you can also utilize "tweens" to make some things easier, and you can even make a game with it just like flash.
One thing I really like is that it has the "tween" just like flash. This means, you take an object, make a keyframe, make a second keyframe, move the object, and Wick will calculate all the in-between frames for you. Very useful!!!
Something I don't like is there doesn't seem to be a "skew" tool. So, you can't have the same bounce and stretch that you could have from SynFig or OpenToons. At least, as far as I can tell from my limited experience. Still, a very nice tool. Easy! Probably a good beginner program for kids, too!
27 months ago LÖVE Web Builder lets you package your #love2D💬 scripts as web programs, and let's you download as HTML and Javascript so you can run it locally in your browser or run it on your server. #fskynet💬
This means you can code with Love2D even with the lowest low-end hardware, anything that can run a text editor and a web browser, and then just use this website to compile the results without hassle!
This is a panel of scientists discussing the topic of the influence of Quantum Physics on evolutionary biology, and all the ways that quantum physics is utilized by biological organisms in everyday life. A couple examples where quantum physics is implicated as an important mechanism in biological processes includes "super smell" like dogs have, and photosynthesis.
7 months ago Thomas Jefferson, one of the founding fathers of the United States of America, made the following statement circa 1780:
"I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around them will deprive the people of all property until their children wake up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered. The issuing power should be taken from the banks and restored to the people, to whom it properly belongs."
