Are there any RSS readers out there that can synchronize read/unread state _without_ using a central server? Like, maybe with some common structure in a folder that you can replicate everywhere with a sync tool of your choice? Top of head says something like
subscriptions.opml

UrlHash1/read/ItemHash1/cleaned.html

This is a simple composition, characteristic of the early 20th century Precisionist school. There's little in the frame that isn't essential. The pylons, wires, and tracks all converge at a vanishing point at the edge of the frame, suggesting, but not showing, a more expansive network of wires, tracks, and, for better or worse, human dominance over nature.

Telegraph poles with multiple "code lines" were once a common feature along American railroads. They are distinguishable from ordinary power or telephone lines by their multitude of cables, often occupying several crossarms. The wires typically include a power bus plus separate leads for the signals along the route, with various more efficient encodings used as technology improved.
They've been mostly supplanted by more modern SCADA systems that don't require so many individual wires.

Don’t believe the hype: AGI is far from inevitable
Don’t believe the hype: AGI is far from inevitable | Radboud University
Will AI soon surpass the human brain? If you ask employees at OpenAI, Google DeepMind and other large tech companies, it is inevitable. However, researchers at Radboud University and other institutes show new proof that those claims are overblown.www.ru.nl
Ah, but here we have to get pedantic a little bit: producing an AGI through current known methods is intractable.
I didn't quite understand this at first. I think I was going to say something about the paper leaving the method ambiguous, thus implicating all methods yet unknown, etc, whatever. But yeah, this divide between solvable and "unsolvable" shifts if we ever break NP-hard and have to define some new NP-super-hard category. This does feel like the piece I was missing. Or a piece, anyway.
e.g. humans don't fit the definition either.
I did think about this, and the only reason I reject it is that "human-like or -level" matches our complexity by definition, and we already have a behavior set for a fairly large n. This doesn't have to mean that we aren't still below some curve, of course, but I do struggle to imagine how our own complexity wouldn't still be too large to solve, AGI or not.
Anyway, the main reason I'm replying again at all is just to make sure I thanked you for getting back to me, haha. This was definitely helpful.
