quiggy posted:fun fact 10g isn't even a branding trick for a mobile network, it's what they're calling their 10gb fiber service. i got curious and looked it up and lolled/lmaoed oh no, not even that. they don't have a 10 gig fiber service. they do have a FTTH service that's now 6Gb, but it's not listed anywhere, has limited availability, and is apparently very difficult to actually get. the 10g is total bullshit marketing, their "10g network". go ahead, go to their site, big "xfinity 10g network" thing advertising 200Mb service. pretty much all the cable ISPs can go gently caress themselves

i like that centurylink advertises their gigabit as 940mbit -- the speed you get at layer 3, once ethernet has taken its hit

getting increasingly excited at the progress the fibre layers are making, should have it up in the next couple months atm there’s just like 10feet of optical fibre coiled up and sticking out the middle of the front yard theoretically bell is offering up to 3gb connections but lol

honestly i can't remember the last time i cared about my download speed. i have 400 megabit and nothing i do at home is bottlenecked by that in any way that matters. oh i have to wait 20 minutes to play a new enormous steam game. ho hum. everything else is done in seconds. upload speed though. i don't upload large files all that often but when i do jfc. cable sucks balls for that

we have gigabit-ish download and, idk, 30mbit or so upload? it's not as good as symmetric but it's never actually been a problem

I have 2 gig down and 500 up and I don't even need that, have it because it's the only unlimited plan from the only isp in the area i'd do something like 500/100 and be happy if it was offered without a data cap

we've got the entry level 300/100 fiber for around US$50/mo, with upgrade options starting at 870/500 for US$57/mo, up to 8000/8000 for US$180/mo. all uncapped and no contract. but latency quickly becomes the bottleneck for most stuff because lol nz but the best part is if we don't like our isp we can be on another one within around 24h because it's common carrier

all Dyson products apart from vacuum cleaners and maybe the fans are poo poo and their vacuums are way too expensive now I've posted it before but I know someone that worked for them and everyone in their building hated those hand driers as well. absolute trash. james dyson is also unsurprisingly a total dick as well

how dumb can things get? very! https://twitter.com/foldablehuman/status/1652512345724424193 https://twitter.com/rokomijic/status/1651740662436339713 since Roko's a Blueboy, he gets to post Looooooong tweets: I'm thinking of drafting a "𝐇𝐮𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐔𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐒𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐮𝐥𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐲" contract for people to sign. It would specify the following deal amongst all humans in the multiverse: - We will all work together to create a human-positive singularity in which the cosmic endowment will be shared - The formula for sharing the cosmic endowment will be a A%/B%/C% split: -- A% will be allocated to people in a way that a superhuman intelligence trained to tell the truth believes will optimally incentivize people to create a positive singularity satisfying this contract -- B% will be allocated according to the existing distribution of legacy wealth and power in the world as of the date GPT-4 was released (March 14, 2023), determined as above -- C% (the rest) will be a Universal Basic Cosmic Endowment (UBCE) that is equally split amongst all humans A, B and C are to be determined, but as a baseline C will be roughly the % of global income that goes to unemployment benefits, charity and so on. A% will be roughly the % of global income that goes to self-made billionaires, entrepreneurs, disruptive business people, socially mobile professionals who didn't have massive family money (again, to be determined). B% will be all the rest. Additionally there will be punishment for Singularity Criminals who deliberately try to reduce the expected size of humanity's Collective Cosmic Endowment, or to commit theft (i.e. trying to grab a larger share than they are entitled to in this contract). We agree to run simulations to catch and punish such Singularity Criminals, with punishments determined in a way that a superhuman intelligence trained to tell the truth believes will optimally minimize the expected amount of humanity's Collective Cosmic Endowment knowingly destroyed by Singularity Criminals. Shares of the cosmic endowment will be administered by an AI which will allow people to do anything they want, subject to rules against using it for violence that other humans would object to, i.e. you cannot make a copy of someone in your share and harm them. The details of Postsingularity Law will necessarily be complex but in order to avoid bickering our way to doom we will set a sensible baseline [more to come here] and define a condition for a truthseeking AI to fill in the details. This "𝐇𝐮𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐔𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐒𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐮𝐥𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐲" contract will first be posted as a petition and then we will expect all prominent workers in AI and policy to sign it, and eventually most of humanity to sign. I will gladly be the first signatory. (part 2) We may be able to ensure a positive singularity by using modern cryptographic techniques to run all important AI software on machines that can cryptographically prove that their operation is governed by the "𝐇𝐮𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐔𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐒𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐮𝐥𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐲" contract. It would therefore not be possible for someone to run any AI not governed by this contract, or at least it would be made very hard and punishment could come causally or acausally. As AI takes over more functions like manufacturing, military, governance etc, this would eliminate all human conflicts and allow people to simply cooperate our way to utopia. https://twitter.com/esyudkowsky/status/1651786485862125569 https://twitter.com/esyudkowsky/status/1651985739926867968 https://twitter.com/rokomijic/status/1651991088247218177 v. smrt.
