I think the latter is most likely. i.e. what is the agent capable of being conscious *of*? An insect is probably entirely conscious of light/chemical gradients.. other patterns of neurons yield consciousness of other things, like abstract reasoning.
here are some basic → advanced strategies that I see for optimizing RAG implementations these days:
basic
1. using effective prompt eng, templating, and conditioning. eg: “given the context information and no prior knowledge, answer the query..” etc. ok, we've all done some

Simple math: Alberta produced 240% MORE emissions/year than Quebec. And Teck would produce more than double the emissions of the cement factory... Alberta should focus on lowering it's net emissions (i.e. power homes with solar or nuclear instead of coal) first.

Celebrate the beauty by investing in AB parks. You're cutting funding to our parks, while making them more expensive, closing others and handing off management of them... all for $4M in savings.

Immediately after learning how to square numbers (i.e. ~ grade 5), children should learn about fractals and the Mandelbrot Set for at least a semester à la Ben Weiss

"Opportunity" does not have to equal natural resource extraction... there are alternatives. Invest in them. If you genuinely believe that the only path to escaping poverty is the oil sands, you are remarkably uncreative and unfit as a leader.

It is abysmal that our elected officials can't talk in terms of facts. At least provide evidence to support your claim. Or have they already cut that from grade 3 curriculum?
@rebeccakschulz
Honestly, your response sounds like it was created by a bot. It would be better if you could cite the accurate figure, instead of platitudes.

provides an interesting breakdown on most pressing problems. Not sure I fully agree with their approach/ordering, but nevertheless a good reference.

If we kept the carbon tax, it would have brought in $73 BILLION over the 41-year lifespan of the Teck mine... Diversify. The. Economy.

This is petty. Be responsible to your followers and don't purposefully misrepresent things. Here's actually what happened on Notley's trip:

Lack of population-level understanding of probability (and as a consequence all the problems that stem from poor statistical judgement, long-time horizon fallacies, and a humble appreciation that there is a nonzero probability your current beliefs are wrong).

He wasn't mansplaining; climate change is a much of a hoax as the idea the sun orbits the Earth; it's better to transition oil and gas workers (over the next decade) to a more stable industry that doesn't destroy the planet than be proud and in denial.

We should think first about the many, many 35 & ups who will be displaced by transition out of fossil fuels ... Get them onboard with the movement & we'll see it pick up pace, bringing youth along with it :)

You conveniently neglected to quote "politicians make decisions based on political priorities first and then may consider the moral and ethical issues" from the article...

Global spending on health was $7.8 TRILLION in 2017 alone (). Total spending on climate change in 2017 was $530 billion (). That's nearly 15X.

Wait - how many antibodies per ml are necessary to be effective against virus? Also does this decay rate plateau around that level or do antibody levels go to zero? Surely that info is needed before broadcasting "bad news"...

Of course, the Kenney government will retort by saying "you're lying about all of this". How do you combat that? I'm getting pretty exhausted of both sides constantly saying the other is lying... How can we create definitive guide on the (complicated) "truth"?

No Thomas, it's incompetent management of our atmosphere. Forest fire prevention folks work hard. Increasing summer temperatures, and human-induced droughts make their work harder each year.
@naval
No it's not. The study of societies, history, humans, etc. is essential and valuable. Dare you to say Daniel Kahneman is fake to his face. Your reduction of the field and those in it is myopic at best, disrespectful at worst.

Banks can still profit even if people default on their mortgages (remember 2008?).. in large part for the reasons you even identified: fear, control, lies. Also, Mark Carney is a banker and explained why climate change is a problem:

Arguably this has been the resting state of most introspective humans since power has colluded with media to shape public opinion. Now it's just a bit more intimate.

Do they have the right mechanisms for deploying capital to promising entrepreneurs that might make a material difference in solving climate change? Perhaps.
If it becomes fashionable for billionaires to start financing climate innovation, is that a good thing? Yes.

@AmiiThinks
How will your government's policies account for rebound effect? Kenney campaigned on climate change being a "global problem".. Greater oil sands emissions efficiency = an excuse to produce more oil = off-loading our CO2 footprint on buyers.

I love this dream. I'd love to see architectural plans of "re-imagined" cities (i.e. London, NYC, LA) along with some urban analytics w/ multi-agent modelling to demonstrate feasibility, cost, convenience. cc:

One future could involve people buying tranches of "land to conserve" & the value of the NFT would be pegged to how conserved that land actually is (which is now easy to measure). Bunch of ways this could go wrong though.
