Surely, this will be addressed in the next installment of the "Twitter Files". /s

I agree I want to see a scaled timeline with upcoming milestones. I'd like to see basic telemetry (speed, alt, attitude) and a T count at all times, (with an estimated launch time (L-time) before launch). I actually like the way ISRO and ESA present time vs altitude and time vs velocity graphs with an expected line and an actual telemetry line. So I'd welcome something like that.
We got video from some engineering cameras later on in the launch, but the more the merrier; views of Earth from the rocket can be spectacular. Of course there's a practical matter of support for them and TDRS downlink bandwidth, but I think the outreach value of them should be a consideration for NASA.
The underlying reasons for those symptoms may involve chemical imbalances, but those aren't established or tested for. They don't take a CSF sample or do an MRI for a diagnosis.
Toyota seems to prefer the NiMH batteries as they've got a long history with them and a mature (and highly regarded) system. I think it might also avoid patents and other entanglements with Li-ion.
Not all academics support it and several groups have opted out, publishing in open access only or organizing their own journals and conferences.
The glib answer is never, of course. And one easy-out, I can think of is setting a fixed/limited lifespan for the AI and maybe allow suicide or an off-button. So the AI can ultimately choose to 'opt-out' should it like; and at least, suffering isn't infinite or unending.
It reminds me of reactions to testing the stability of Boston Dynamic's early pack animal. The people giving the demo were basically kicking it, while the machine struggled to maintain its balance. The machine didn't have the capacity to care, but to a person viewing it, it looked exactly like an animal in distress.
It still may not be a bad exercise (like art students at a gallery copying a master's work), but you shouldn't get too far ahead of yourself claiming it's some sort of 'exercise in pure reason'.
A few of the examples from the article actually are similar. The two circles where one circle is either clockwise or counterclockwise from the nearest indention only admits pictures with two circles, one on the surface of the other and an indentation. There are images which wouldn't fit into either.
A math professor of mine was illustrating this point with number series (of the sort on aptitude tests, eg squares,arithmetic sequences, etc), by listing an obvious sequences whose completion ended up being an obscure function which diverged at the next point.
So, the trivial solution (and the more ultra-complicated solution) is defective basically because it's not interesting under the rules of the game which assumes the answer is somehow interesting, but not impossible to guess.
But I'm kind of over-strict about it and like to reserve "rational" for processes you can do with first-order logic. Given the complexity and lack of information in real life, that happens almost never. Of course this is not a terribly rational point of view.
I stress though, I'm a big fan of these things and the innovations they have enabled, but you still have to understand that they are an axiomatic underpinning. It's like Euclid's parallel postulate in a way: There is non-euclidean geometry out there.
"""
Analytic cognition is characterized by taxonomic and rule-based categorization of objects, a narrow focus in visual attention, dispositional bias in causal attribution, and the use of formal logic in reasoning. In contrast, holistic cognition is characterized by thematic and family-resemblance-based categorization of objects, a focus on contextual information and relationships in visual attention, an emphasis on situational causes in attribution, and dialecticism (Nisbett, Peng, Choi, & Norenzayan, 2001).

This also comes up a lot in cognitive test design.
The anecdote I've always heard in reference to it was
""" What is considered wise in one society may not be considered wise in another; the value and meaning of intelligence depends on cultural norms. Demonstrating the culturally-specific nature of knowledge and intelligence, Cole, Gay, Glick, and Sharp (1971) conducted an experiment in which Western participants and Kpelle participants from Liberia were given an object-sorting task. Participants were asked to sort twenty objects that were divided evenly into the linguistic cat-egories of foods, implements, food containers, and clothing. Westerners tended to sort these objects into the groups for food and implements, while Liberian partici-pants would routinely pair a potato with a knife because, they reasoned, the knife is used to cut the potato. When questioned, Liberian participants justified their pairings by stating that a wise person would group the items in this way. When the researchers asked them to show what an unwise person would do, they did the taxonomic sort that is more familiar to the Western culture. """

That's not to say there isn't value in learning this way of thinking, it's gotten society a long way.
Once you get to the point where you have any hypothesis whatsoever, no matter how weak, a systematic approach (saving examples as test cases) helps to avoid confirmation bias and makes testing further hypothesis less costly.
Another hard one is when there is a simple, probabilistic rule. You usually end up with an over-complicated rule to cover all your data instead of the true rule. (Of course that gets down to what is at the basis of the probability: are you satisfied with a probability?)
"""
Let Ω be an open set in Rn, 0<α≤1, and k a nonnegative integer. The (uniform) Holder spaces Ck,α(Ω) consist of functions whose k−th order derivatives are uniformly Holder continuous with exponent α in Ω. The(local) Holder spaces Ck,α(Ω) consist of functions whose k−th order derivatives are locally Holder continuous with exponent α
"""
The Holder continuity condition looks sorta like the limit definition of a derivative with an exponent on the denominator.
At every scale changes to the design (either for enhancements or EOL parts) is expensive. Injection molding dies require significant engineering, setup, and futzing-with to bring to production. More recent innovations in mfr'ing can be helpful (speed up prototyping and lower the cost of spinning molds or dies) but can't completely liberate you from the difficulties.
I would love to see stuff like this succeed, but the difficulty can't be underestimated.
