I grant you that. I might not have done true scrum. It just emphasizes that developers don't pick how a project is managed. I've worked with a number of implementations. The last one was big enough that it had a top level project manager that coordinated a number of Scrum masters and their teams. The whole process was sort of plugged into the company's existing structure.
But the importance of short timelines, constant input, daily standups and on on... Was there.

Anyhow, as a developer I'm not a fan. I've seen the results of agile on the code and it's not pretty. Say nothing of the added stress on developers. Managers like to think that software development is linear. A developer should be able to get X amount of work done over a period of time. But as a developer we know that that's not always the case.
I do something similar - but using the Print command and converting the PDF to SVG - to import websites into Blender for flashy animations. This allows me to neatly animate things in/out, and zoom into details without pixelation.
This has a very simple explanation: Apple is a product company. Microsoft and Google are not.
And for me it's quite the contrary - the description on HN says nothing about how it actually works, it looks just like whining and flaming and bragging.
What is being turned off is not safety itself, but automatic enforcement of rules.

If course no one wants to ship actually unsafe code, and it is very rare to do it in Rust or modern C++ programs. But it is depressingly common in C programs and mostly-old programs like Chromium, and in the C libraries that programs of all kinds still depend on.

Thank you for following up. I refactored my original Go version into somewhat more idiomatic Go. I'll compare with your Dart version to see if the packages I ended up with are "organic" or just determined by Go peculiarities.
He says in his 4th tweet in the thread "I think there’s a large opportunity to make an experience using many advances in AI (not just diffusion) to make a new kind of Creative Suite. A different set of products with a brand new UX." He links to the prototype at the end of the thread - https://playgroundai.com/

The current site doesn't look very inspiring. Like you say, just another "AI generated art based social media platform". But if his plans are to develop it into some sort of After Effects competitor then ... maybe that's a market opportunity worth cracking?
Let's consider the numbers... A decent modern combined cycle gas turbine can achieve 60% efficiency, so let's take 50% to be conservative. Transmission losses are generally better than 15%, so that leaves a combined efficiency of 42.5%. A pessimistic charge/discharge efficiency for lithium ion would be 80% and I'd expect the charger to be 90% efficient, which gives us a total (pessimistic) efficiency of 31%.

An internal combustion engine has an optimistic efficiency of about 30%.

So, even if we ignore all the losses in fuel distribution for ICE cars and ignore regenerative effects in electric cars and the ability to incrementally decarbonise the grid, electric still has a slight advantage.

One surprise perhaps is that both Python and C++ have multiple inheritance whereas Rust doesn't have implementation inheritance at all (Rust's traits can inherit but data structures and implementations cannot).

Both C++ and Rust have similar Quiz sites:

https://dtolnay.github.io/rust-quiz/

https://cppquiz.org/

You'll notice immediately that the Rust questions aren't trivial - this language does have some opportunities for confusion and weird ways to write things that surprise you and the quiz explores some things you'd probably never do and shouldn't do and their consequences are not obvious.

But on the other hand you will quickly also realise that while "That's Undefined Behaviour" could be the correct answer in C++ (it's the correct answer for several of the default questions) it's never going to be the right answer in (safe) Rust by definition.
> So do hybrids

No they don't. All the energy in a hybrid comes from an internal combustion engine which is generally less than 40%. Hybrids help by running the the ICE only when it would be efficient to do so but they can't help in constant speed highway driving.

> Traits You Can’t Change

- Raw Intelligence
You can’t make someone smarter. [...]
- Emotional Reactivity
- Natural speed

For each of these, I either don't believe that it can't be changed or believe that it doesn't matter enough for it to be a key factor. Natural speed does change for a person with age, they get slower. That is more than made up for by not putting effort into dead ends--it multiplies when it prevents the team from spending extraneous time on dead ends, or being able to conclude discussions sooner with clear, concrete explanations of feasibility or applicability.

The post itself lists under traits you can change:

> Ability to Step Back and See the Big Picture

That ability and some practice within a domain will make raw intelligence less of a concern. What I find more lacking is open-mindedness in research, discussions, and development. One that I rarely even see mentioned in places is thinking in concepts. Abstract thinking is often listed, but then gets restricted to implementation architectures. Being able to see deep concepts in even simple designs allow systems to evolve in ways that are easily adaptable in not so hard to expected ways if thought was specifically put into this from the start.

I get the feeling this was written by a manager who doesn't have first hand understanding of how these factors matter when developing software at a high level.

A friend of mine has a very interesting view with regards to flow: It is a bad thing. You don't want to be in a state of flow, because you are not thinking hard enough about what you are doing then, but just following the flow.
Sure. I think that is a valid point.
Interestingly Text is not some I/O a human natively supports. The support for that is a complete hack!

For an AGI my expectation would be that it can broadly interpret reality. The human vision system is just one peculiar way to gather information about light, yet it allows them to make very sophisticated judgments about reality, e.g. "there is a tiger down there by tye river and it is running at me fast".

An AGI should be able to gather information about reality and be able to make similar judgements, given some comparable input.
In some sense most AIs are also "cheating", since their I/O is far less fuzzy then what humans have to deal with...
Look up the Carnot cycle and its efficiency. This is theorized to be the best possible efficiency for a heat engine. All heat engines work by rejecting a large fraction of their input heat to an output heat sink. I've heard efficiencies in the 30-50% range for big coal and nuclear plants, much lower for smaller plants.

It's optimal to coast if you can avoid regeneration, but if you must brake then you want as much of that to be regenerative as possible.

EVs have more regenerative braking power and capacity though; my Prius fills up rapidly when descending a mountain.
That would be cool if actually converting HTML to SVG would save you bandwidth and all the rest that goes with web requests. Imagine a web browser that only supports SVG and converts all HTML to SVG then when browsing the web you would only look at screenshots of websites and webpages. This would be something like read-only browser. It is already possible[0] tho but it is not enabled by default on Chrome nor it is exclusive feature.

Personally i consider Chromium as not really free. Simply because of it's development model (not developed in an open community form, from the start) and codebase size (no single human can know it all).

Personally i consider a software free if it born free, developed openly so to have eventually a community of different peoples with different ideas, set of interests, culture, ... have seen the code from it's early days when it was small enough to be fully understood and subsequent discussions/evolution happened in such open manner. It's not exactly a measurable thing, and it's not merely "freedom" but for me is a requirement to consider a software as a really free one: the freedom of knowing and trusting it with acceptable efforts.

I love water fasting and do it often. But it also is highly dependent on weight. If you're a lower weight already, it can be really hard to do a 3 day water fast.

To add why: the ecosystem is immature. I am building a decentralized app (the old way) but with an event sourced architecture (append-only list of JSON events/commands).

The storage itself is trivial but for everything else (queries, syncing, conflicts, validation, permissions, schema changes) there's little support and I had to make my own stuff. It works for me, because because I only have 2-3 entities but your app is much more complex, so I wouldn't recommend it even if you started from scratch.

I will say that there's nothing that really stops offline aside from ecosystem support and maturity. All it really takes is a medium-big well maintained project that solves 80-90% of use cases. I think CRDTs are promising for the data layer because it simplifies the API surface (at the expense of complex implementation).

> I’m simply explaining how brand advertising works.

You just claimed to know how it works and that your opinion is correct.

Maybe you could provide me with an example of a brand losing sales because of one of these negative associations- before the media had noticed it and brought it to the light. Surely if it's common practice for brands to stop advertising on media that are "uncool", there must have been events in the past that have taught them a lesson. Curious if you know any.
> I can change the license (or sublicense) because I wrote almost all the code myself, and all remaining patches to mold are licensed under the dual license of MIT/AGPL.

He's wrong about that. That MIT license is not an attribution of copyright, which is what he needs to relicense external contributions.

This is why corporate-run projects make you sign a CLA where you renounce copyright. This is why GPL licenses have an "any later version" formula, to allow project owners to move to a newer version of the GPL license later on.
IMHO the most confusing part is that AT&T/GAS syntax inverts the comparisons, which are otherwise natural in Intel syntax:

They're (probably) better than humans at text prediction https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/htrZrxduciZ5QaCjw/language-m... (which is what they are trained on, so maybe not unreasonable).

There's also the idea that GPT-3/etc can produce text that's difficult for humans to distinguish from human-generated text at the lowest levels of quality (think like time cube), which is closer to AGI than say simplistic Markov generators. (How close is anyone's guess)

> The power of a major government behind a currency is like the framing of a building.

Only if the frame were able to make decisions that devalue or collapse the building without anyone being able to stop it (and quite a few "frames" have done that). As you can see, not a good analogy.

> A building with a frame can collapse, but the odds are much worse if you don't have one.

Well, actually the "frame" is the cause of the collapse. A "building" without the "frame" wouldn't actually collapse due to hyperinflation.

Although I'm not sure what "being backed by the military" has anything to do with what you said. It's not like the military is going to do something when a currency is devalued by a government or when it collapses.
This claim, while I agree, is so far based on nothing. Be careful making these statements.

It would be fun to prompt the next language model with "You are connected to a Linux bash terminal. Your next command will be executed on that bash console. Type what you want", feed that into an appropriate VM and then reprompt with "The stderr was $X and the stdout was $Y. Your next command will be executed on the console" and loop.

I think anyone who has taken a large monolith through a significant platform version upgrade or change, like .NET 2 to .NET 4, or Python2 to Python3, or Angular to React, would need a very persuasive argument to make them believe that starting a new project with a monolithic design was a good idea.

>However, just because an AI doesn't understand a given input form, does not mean that it could not given adequate exposure; but it will need time to adapt and the closer the new information form is to one that it already understands, the faster it will incorporate the new understandings.

That is just completely wrong. There is absolutely no reason to believe that some language model will produce the same (or even similar) accurracy and training speed, if trained with image data as additional input.
What you are claiming here is that any (sufficiently complex) neural net can be continually fed with different problem data and will output sufficiently accurate results.
There is no reason why this should be the case and for the millions of nets which have been created none of them have exhibited this property.

It might very easily be the case that training GPT-3 with images means millions of times slower learning speeds for the same combined accuracy.

I think most people do not consider social evolution at a whole. We know we are too much for Earth resources, witch means the need to reduce the human population. China have tried it in a simple way: no more than one child per couple. Than they found a big issue: population aging. Witch means young people have to help their parents and grandparents alone, and the second generation might have also 4 elders to help etc. Automation help a bit, but does not suffice. The Swedish model of social services does help a bit, but again do not suffice so far.

Inventing "multi-partners families" is a way to re-create the old family model with enough young and enough not too old to help the elders and the children while still ensuring a reasonably free and productive life to anyone "in the family".

It's hard to agree ourselves also in two, in more it's even harder, convincing people to a new social model it's equally harder, but probably certain trends are a potential partial answer to such demographic problems that summed to others might "solve enough" for the not-so-far future...
