Most of the largest datasets are kind of garbage because of this. I've had this idea to run the data through the network every epoch and evict samples that are too similar to the output for the next epoch but never tried it. Probably someone smarter than me already tried that and it didn't work. I just feel like there's some mathematical way around this we aren't seeing. Humans are great at filtering the cruft so there must be some indicators there.

I think I see where you're coming from. The computer in the comic is a Rule 110 automata, known to be Turing complete. It can perform complex calculations, allegedly.
I suppose it can get a bit philosophical whether an incomplete time instant is even visible from the inside of a simulation, because nothing moves after a single pass until the full frame is complete, hence limiting perception.
Unless you mean continuity as in non discrete physics, which is fair play for this specific computer but then there is the Planck length to consider.(edit: I am aware that discrete vs continuous is a whole holy war on its own)
He bases the next row of stones on the previous one, changing them by a consistent rule? Its an unorthodox computer with infinite memory. Why does that not count as a simulation? I'm not following

I feel like its difficult to quantify for jobs where you're being paid to think. Even when I'm goofing off, the problem I need to solve for the day is still lingering in the back of my head somewhere. Actively squinting at it doesn't seem to make things go any faster and when I do return to work it's usually to mash out reems of code after letting it stew, but yes, the actual amount of time I'm fulfilling my job description is... less than my working hours.
Yes, forgot the exact details apologies
You can change those to /dev/disk/by-uuid/XYZ ("ls -an" that directory to see the symlinks to your current drives)
Basically just look for things like root=/dev/sda2 in the kernel command line. You can get it at runtime by running "cat /proc/cmdline" having /dev/sda etc in your fstab might also be a problem
Not sure if this is the right answer I'm not familiar with that ecosystem: They have comparisons on their site
