I would say that "true" intelligence will allow someone/something to build a tool that never existed before while intelligence simulation will only allow someone/something to reproduce tools that already known. I would make a difference between someone able to use all his knowledge to find a solution to a problem using tools he knows of and someone able to discover a new tool while solving the same problem. I'm not sure the latter exists without sentience.

As far as I know, and I'm no expert in the field, there is no known example of intelligence without sentience. Actual AI is basically algorithm and statistics simulating intelligence.

Is there intelligence without sentience ?

Except that building a nuclear weapon was not available to everyone, certainly not to dumb people whose brain have been feeded with social media content.

> (1) Won't an SSH key with a passphrase solve this? Whoever picks up the lost USB stick won't be able to guess a good passphrase.

Yes but in that case your passphrase is your only security. Keeping your private key private, gives you 2 security levels: you must have the key and know the passphrase.

Then the access of your git repos is protected by a single factor, the private key, since the private key is already in the wild.

Copying a private key on a removable storage or to another device than the device that generated it is never a good idea.

> I believe more trade between China and the Mediterranean was transited via Indian Ocean trade routes than via the traditional Silk Road

At the time there was no Suez canal. Going from europe to China by sea would mean go around Africa which was a challenge by itself.

You can skip the first 42 minutes that are about how bad is an article titled "how antimatter space craft will work". This part is absolutely boring as hell !

There are far too many languages and many packages for each of them for this (good) idea to be practicable.

And people with children cannot understand what it is to live a whole life in full freedom. I'm over 50 years old and I fully love my life as it is and have never regretted my choice of not having children (and never will).

Not that my choice is suitable for everybody, but the most common choice is not suitable for everybody either.
