> and then the law would get struck down because, as said, washington state isn't allowed to regulate interstate commerce.

It isn't allowed to discriminate against or unduly burden interstate commerce; it can generally regulate the behavior of Washington persons (including corporations) in interstate commerce where such regulation does not discriminate against such commerce (which is clearly the case where the rule is identical to that for in-state commerce of the same type.)

The exception would be if the federal government preempted the kind of regulation Washington sought to make by exercise of federal commerce powers.

> Because if it could realloc internally then I don't think this trick is safe.

Slices are 3 word values of (ptr, len, cap). They cannot be "realloced internally", changing any of those three things requires creating a new slice.
You always countersteer; you're just not doing it consciously. Because of that, you're doing it very slightly. Because you're doing it slightly, you enter into turns slowly. You're not able to take sharp corners at a decent speed.

You cannot lean without countersteering first; the lean happens because you induced a fall in the desired direction, through a tiny countersteering move. With the tiny, subconscious counter-steers, you induce only small tilts. I suspect it takes multiple small counter-steering maneuvers to "build up" a decent tilt for a sharp turn, which takes time.

Once I learned to deliberately countersteer, I then started doing it all the time. I hardly take any turn (big or small) on a bicycle without pushing forward the handle-bar on that side.

If you don't make deliberate countersteering your main steering method, so that it becomes second nature, you will not be able to count on yourself to use it in an emergency.
I was more thinking of maybe the research that is the “DNA” going from one AI generation to the next.
The problem isn't technology. The problem is immoral people. Immoral people make immoral and greedy governments. Immoral and greedy governments wield power to acquire more and survive as a parasitic organism. All governments move towards totalitarianism. No nation-state in the world has ever escaped this eventuality.

Limiting technology won't limit the harm even one evil person can do. Take a look at Gengis Khan, for example.

What limits immoral people is the moral people around them.

The reason Western culture has fared so well over the last 500 years is because it was largely Christian in nature. There are fundamental values embedded in the Bible that have echoed into what we consider to be "human rights" today. These ideas are uniquely Christian in nature, and rely on a Christian morality in order to function.

"Do to others as you would have them do to you", "love your neighbor as yourself", "you need to work in order to eat", the ten commandments (which are pretty common sense if you're looking for a stable society), a true/faithful set of weights and measures -- including a sound currency, lending for interest gained is illegal, and so on.

All of these require a basis of people who are willing to adhere to them. The Western world lacks people who are willing to adhere to them. In fact, we've been taught to hate the West and its contributions to the world. We hate white people, we hate Christianity, we hate absolute truth, we hate moral law, we hate being accountable to the Almighty, and we scoff at anyone who loves those things.

Or perhaps the right way is to never imply the way you are doing things is the only correct way and then try to pass it on as facts?

Yeah that's something I've thought about. Although K8s sells itself as a platform for building cloud native services, K8s itself is not cloud native, in the sense that doesn't take advantage of modern public clouds that much by default. Examples:

- Instead of having a dedicated control plane, something like DynamoDB could be used to store state.

- Clustering based on stuff like Tags (Hashicorp Consul does that).

- Suff like ExternalDNS and External Secrets Operator could be defaults.

- Every cloud platform has something similar to security groups and load balancers, so networking could be way simpler.

Prob many other ways of simplifying stuff.

The platform itself would just provide an API for accessing cloud services in a simple, common way.

Microsoft has a side car based project, totally forgot the name, that partially does that. It exposes http endpoints like localhost/secrets or localhost/invoke/$APP to all services, while using cloud services behind the curtain.

Edit: the project is called Dapr https://dapr.io/

> Perhaps this wouldn't be the case forever but I would say is a possibility for it at least at first.

The fact that human-level intelligence can run on a small lump of meat fueled by hamburgers leads me to believe we could design a more efficient processor once we know the correct computational methodology. i.e. once we can run a slow model on a supercomputer we would quickly create dedicated hardware and cut costs while gaining speed.
Of course but the new slice could be (ptr, len+1, cap+x) because realloc() was able to expand the buffer in-place. Which yields essentially the same behaviour as an append call with leftover capacity.

But I guess realloc is a libc function, and Go probably goes for mmap directly and would implement its own allocator, and so might not do that. Unless / until they decide to add support for it.
>one thing that holds me back is photo quality

But... why? I use open camera. It works. It takes pictures. Those pictures look alright, pretty damn good even. I certainly don't look at them and go "well blimey I just can't tell what this picture is meant to be".

Whatsapp ends up destroying the quality when I send them to friends anyway.

Like, maybe if you've got a huge instagram following and a patreon drawing in money based off that or something? I dunno, it's just one of those things I really can't wrap my head around, so long as I've got a picture I'm happy.
> Also, it seems like just knowing some of the dead ends would be a huge step up.

This makes me think, how Knowledge in a post-apocalyptic society would really work. Some fundamental and comparatively easy technologies might not need to be rediscovered (directly jump to iron and omit bronze). But more advanced Knowledge needs a lot of special training, dedicated institutions, etc. And even if they had access to tales from the Ancients, they would still have to distinguish between valid and invalid information. Otherwise, we could end up with a culture of Flat Earthers.

Looks to me like 1. The bike is initially rolling straight with no handlebar angle, and then starts falling over to the left. 2. Due to the mechanic explained in the video, this causes the handlebar to turn left.

If there was a human on that bike wanting to turn, here they would continue leaning, turning, and pedaling in the correct amounts.

But because there's no human to keep their weight leaned to the left, then 3. The left turn of the handlebars causes the road contact points to move to the left of the center of gravity, so that 4. It starts turning right.
I believe they made a mistake with that example. It doesn't look unsafe to me because the myResults sliced passed to the goroutine is not used. Or perhaps the racy part was left out of their snippet.

Below is what might be what they have meant. This code snippet is racy because an unsafe read of myResults is done to pass it to the goroutine and then that version of myResults is passed to safeAppend:

func ProcessAll(uuids []string) {
var myResults []string
var mutex sync.Mutex
safeAppend := func(results []string, res string) {
mutex.Lock()
myResults = append(myResults, res)
mutex.Unlock()
}

for _, uuid := range uuids {
go func(id string, results []string) {
res := Foo(id)
safeAppend(myResults, id)
}(uuid, myResults) # <<< unsafe read of myResults
}
}

Perhaps a variation of another suggestion. The trick being that you're likely to answer similar (presumably local) numbers. However, a simpler explanation is that they have a pool of numbers and call you from the one with the prefix most similar to yours.

> ZeroTier uses a construction where the identity is the outer envelope

Does this mean that any node along the network path would be able to track communications between nodes? Maybe a snoop wouldn't be able to pin an envelope to a named identity, but they would be able to track which other identities its connecting to down to the communication bandwidth between each source and destination and correlate the identities of those connections between separate devices. Is this an accurate description?

Great to hear you mention that. PyWren was one of our inspirations. Other inspirations are its successor NumPyWren [1], and gg [2].

We've looked at the code for PyWren and in our opinion it's not practically usable as-is, even if you wanted to target only Lambda. Also we initially focussed more on the deployment aspect (i.e. getting environment + code on the target machines reproducibly), and EC2 because we figured to make this general enough people would need an escape hatch anyway if Lambdas didn't cut it for some reason.

I find it so frustrating and disgusting that articles like this don't link to the original research paper/publication.
I still don't find it entirely clear whether or not an AGI would find it useful to eradicate humanity. Take the numerous clone example. This AI would presumably advance at different rates depending on the given computation that a single instance has access to. Then what? How would it determine the intent of these newer generation AIs? Would there be a tiered society of AIs each trying to vie for power amongst themselves? If there's one thing we know about AGI in this day and age it's that there's no guaranteed off switch.

The most apt comparison in this scenario would be how we see chimps - but then we don't specifically go out and murder chimps to meet our quota (technically not always true). But again, the direction that humanity goes is not clear - will the technology trickle down or will it outpace us?

> California once banned the import of foie gras into the state

No, it banned sale of foie gras entirely (it did not single out importation), and even so the ban, to the extent that it prohibited individual consumers from buying it for import from out-of-state vendors, was struck down by a federal trial court in 2020 as a violation of the dormant commerce clause, a decision this year upheld by the Ninth Circuit, so it's probably not a law you want to point to as an example of the state being free to regulate interstate commerce.

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2022/may/07/california-f...

> and IIRC are planning a law banning the import of foreign oil.

Even if it was true that someone in California was planning on trying to pass such a law, it would be an even more clear, bright-line dormant commerce clause violation than the foie gras law.

But humans could find other ways.
But btw. there are many many people starving and allways have been.

If there is such thing as General Intelligence, we don't know what it is.

And I believe that it could well be an empty abstraction, an idea, not unlike the idea of God.

What we call Human Intelligence is an aggregate of many skills, built on top of almost hardwired foundations, which is the product of natural evolution over millions of years.

Our kind of intelligence seems only general to us, because we all share the same foundations. From a genetic standpoint we're all 99.9% identical. (or something)

This kind of speculation about the danger of AI is not more useful than talks about the danger of becoming the preys of an alien civilization.
Maybe. You’d have to give it a name, though, to give regular people something to pin as the “reason” in their mind. I.e. if you have strange dietary preferences (not requirements, merely preferences), some people might try to accomodate, but most will think you’re weird and either ignore you or be annoyed and actively suppress you.

Call it “vegan”, “halal”, or “kosher”, though, and suddenly it’s a thing which people might grumble about, but many people will at least grudgingly respect. We’d need something like that for this. But I’ve never even seen it named, except when RMS jokingly called it being a “Saint in the Church of Emacs”, but that’s obviously a terrible name, and also just a joke.

Considering how hard it is for a team of people to simply integrate two different systems I find it laughable that anyone would worry about AI hacking the planet and manipulating everything.

I have been doing software for so long and the more experience I get the less likely I see something like this happening. I’m just not seeing any reasonable risk or vulnerability at all.
