![]() “Superintelligence” is not intended as a treatise of deep originality Bostrom’s contribution is to impose the rigors of analytic philosophy on a messy corpus of ideas that emerged at the margins of academic thought. A reformulation of Pascal’s wager became a dialogue between the seventeenth-century philosopher and a mugger from another dimension. He once cast a moral case for medically engineered immortality as a fable about a kingdom terrorized by an insatiable dragon. Some of Bostrom’s cleverest arguments resemble Swiss Army knives: they are simple, toylike, a pleasure to consider, with colorful exteriors and precisely calibrated mechanics. He rarely makes concrete predictions, but, by relying on probability theory, he seeks to tease out insights where insights seem impossible. Bostrom is arguably the leading transhumanist philosopher today, a position achieved by bringing order to ideas that might otherwise never have survived outside the half-crazy Internet ecosystem where they formed. “Superintelligence” is only his most visible response to ideas that he encountered two decades ago, when he became a transhumanist, joining a fractious quasi-utopian movement united by the expectation that accelerating advances in technology will result in drastic changes-social, economic, and, most strikingly, biological-which could converge at a moment of epochal transformation known as the Singularity. “We have little idea when the detonation will occur, though if we hold the device to our ear we can hear a faint ticking sound.”Īt the age of forty-two, Bostrom has become a philosopher of remarkable influence. “Before the prospect of an intelligence explosion, we humans are like small children playing with a bomb,” he concludes. He sometimes notes, as a point of comparison, the trajectories of people and gorillas: both primates, but with one species dominating the planet and the other at the edge of annihilation. Such a system would effectively be a new kind of life, and Bostrom’s fears, in their simplest form, are evolutionary: that humanity will unexpectedly become outmatched by a smarter competitor. gains the ability to improve itself, and in short order exceeds the intellectual potential of the human brain by many orders of magnitude. Central to this concern is the prospect of an “intelligence explosion,” a speculative event in which an A.I. Titled “Superintelligence: Paths, Dangers, Strategies,” it argues that true artificial intelligence, if it is realized, might pose a danger that exceeds every previous threat from technology-even nuclear weapons-and that if its development is not managed carefully humanity risks engineering its own extinction. Last year, a curious nonfiction book became a Times best-seller: a dense meditation on artificial intelligence by the philosopher Nick Bostrom, who holds an appointment at Oxford. ![]() Additionally, a shorter working distance is needed to obtain the same FOV compared to a longer focal length lens. Thus, the lens focal length defines the AFOV and FOV.įor a given sensor size, a shorter focal length gives a wider AFOV and, therefore, a larger FOV and vice versa. The fixed focal length lens can be focused for different working distances to obtain differently sized FOV, even though the viewing angle remains constant. A fixed focal length lens is not the same as a fixed focus lens, which can only be used at a fixed working distance. It is required to calculate the overall FOV. AFOV is the angle of light that can be captured by the lens. The focal length of a lens is the distance between the lens and the focused image on the sensor.Ī fixed focal length lens provides a fixed angular FOV (AFOV). The camera lens, its focal length and the sensor size all play a part in determining the FOV. It is measured horizontally, vertically and diagonally. The wider the FOV, the more one can see of the observable world. FOV also describes the angle through which a person can see the visible world. It refers to the coverage of an entire area rather than a single, fixed focal point. In other words, it answers the question: "How much can the device see?" Field of view explainedįOV is the range of the observable world visible at any given time through the human eye, a camera viewfinder or on a display screen. In the case of optical devices, FOV is the maximum area that the device can capture. Field of view (FOV) is the open, observable area a person can see through their eyes or via an optical device, such as a camera. ![]() CCC has lots of white papers on this topic and are very informative. But you can't use that particular feature with the actual "bootable" backup unfortunately. (hint hint, like an old version of LogicPro). It gets updated regularly and as I said the guy in charge at CCC writers all the white papers about the backup situation on MacOS rolling forward.Īlso the latest versions of CCC have all this stuff built in that is kind of like Time Machine based on using APFS snapshots.so if you need to recover a file from the version it was last Tuesday, you can easily do that in CCC, kind of like its own Time Machine. They are both nice pieces of software, but honestly CCC is much more active company. It might be ok on Mojave for now if you prefer that one. In my opinion he has stayed on top of the changes from Apple way way better then Super Duper and I would not even consider using SuperDuper now from where I am on Monterey. The CCC author has written a lot of white papers on various things like that which you can access from the CCC site. Eventually CCC made a way to do it, I think it probably just puts a nice GUI around that cmd line utility. ![]() There is a command line utility on MacOS you can use to do it, but its very complicated. The end result of that is that neither SuperDuper or CCC could make a truly bootable backup. However be advised that starting with Mojave, Apple introduced the APFS file system, and they also at some point in time, I can't remember when now introduced a system whereby a lot of the files they we should not mess with are stored on a hidden read only partition, etc.and some other new internal hidden partitions related to boot up and recovery, etc. I have purchased and used both pieces of software and like them both. With Mojave either one will create a bootable backup for you. They both do a lot of smart stuff about not copying over cache files, virtual memory, etc.stuff that doesn't need to be copied. With newer versions of MacOS I think you have to use some complicated command line tools to fully clone a drive, but I can't remember now.ĬCC and SuperDuper can do so called incremental updates, where it will only copy over the files that have actually changed. Its pretty simple on Mojave, but starts to get way more complicated with newer versions of MacOS. Your boot disk has the main volume that you see and then there are hidden volumes containing other stuff. It also does not by default automatically copy some of the hidden partitions that are needed to fully copy a boot drive. It always makes an exact clone and wipes the destination. Disk Utility can clone any volume, for free. ![]() Standard protection should be selected by default, but you can select an upgraded version, too.
