   > you usually only have one database

   What if I use the cloud? I don't even know how many servers my database runs on. Nor do I care. It's liberating not having to think about it at all.

   Your total energy needs figure today is completely irrelevant. Half of the so called needs are just for entertainment. Now excuse me I have to step in my SUV and drive to lake Garda Italy for the weekend at 200 km/h.

   No it is not printing money. Shares are not money.

   It is dilution. 160 million shares of AMD for 1 cent will be added. The idea is that the value increase of the remaining shares enabled by the OpenAI cooperation will be stronger than the decrease caused by dilution.

   It's not money printing because shares are not classified as money in economics. Money is used for transactions while shares primary purpose is not transactions.

    Of course consciousness is required for intelligence - you need to model yourself as part of the world to have a complete model.

    Never heard of this distinction between parameter and argument, to me they are homonymes. To me, argument or parameter refers to a term in the function definition as well as a term in the function call.

    > Functions don't have variables, named variables, that's Python, not math[0].

    No, Python named arguments are a good analogy for Leibnitz notation.

    What if your physics problem involves the same physical quantity twice, like speeds and masses of two bodies? Then single letter variable names are no longer unique nor meaningful.

    f(v_1, m_1, v_2, m_2)

    For the derivatives I would prefer writing

    d_v_2 f

    instead of

    d_3 f

    when counting arguments from 1

    Your focusing on the unimportant aspect though, the discussion is about the licensing for watching the movie.

    > a massive edge was available in the form of physical reads, but almost entirely ignored

    No. The word poker face exists for a reason. Everyone knew about the importance of physical reads.

    I would think it is impressive, but I wouldn't find it impressive enough if it doesn't beat the established methods of forecasting. I don't start anything because I doubt it would meet my standards of being not pointless and superfluous.

    Does Bitcoin support a high enough frequency of transactions for long enough to make this possible for years into the future? Does it not become too hard to mine at some point?

    Congrats you just made another currency that is explicitly not Bitcoin. And it's better at being a currency than Bitcoin. Which isn't very difficult because Bitcoin absolutely sucks as a currency.
