Very interesting. Thank you for the perspective, it is extremely illuminating.
What is a user interface which can move from color, light, shade, and space to images or text? Could there be an architecture that takes blueprints and produces text or images?
> Let's say you're building some form of appliance on top of general purpose x86 hardware. You want to be able to verify the software it's running hasn't been tampered with. What's the best approach with existing technology?
Why can we not use something like Guix by declaratively setting up a system [0] and for extra safety have it run in a container [1]?
Alternative method for Arch Linux: Install the `rfc` package, then find the RFC at /usr/share/doc/rfc/txt/rfc1178.txt. A very nice package to have installed when travelling far from an internet connection.
Playing chess does not make you smarter but studying chess does. You see when you decide to study chess theoretically you come to a point where you want to figure out a system to increase your chances of winning. Chess is very dynamic and complex, uncountable positions can be reached so the system you come up with should consider all of those factors. Chess theorist (not necessarily GM players who mostly memorize patterns) are able/trying to grasp complexity in a systematic way. The skills learned from studying chess can be applied to studying the stock market, distributed systems and other inherently complex systems.
Your comment is too vague for me. I assume you're attempting to assert that sleeping while having awareness of being asleep would somehow make you different than a robot? I would challenge that notion if my assumption is correct on what you're expressing by simply stating a robot can be programmed to experience similar.
