I'm surprised that the term Longtermism hasn't been mentioned.

Isn't Nick Bostrom also a longtermist? It's probably the reason for the focus on AI. Also wasn't he one of the founders of Longtermism?

> AI is much more compute bound than algorithm bound

Any reason to believe this? The human brain runs on 20 watts (!). Obviously biological hardware is not directly comparable to silicon, perhaps silicon is intrinsically less efficient by some factor such that in order to obtain 20W of human brain compute we need to expend K times more in silicon. But is that factor really so large that we are compute-bound? How big would K have to be for us to be compute-bound anyway? If you could have Einstein for 200kW (i.e. silicon is intrinsically 1000x less efficient than brains) would that be compute-bound? It seems much more likely that we are algorithm-bound and simply not using our available compute efficiently.
How’s debugging?

Great questions.

The encryption key is generated in the browser. This key is being used to unseal your vaults. When you create your account, the key is being exported (downloaded) to your file system. Every time you sign in afterwards, you need to import (drag and drop) the key to the browser — it is never transmitted to our servers —, so you can unseal your vaults locally.

No product can be free. We believe that €39 per year is a great price for what you get; a ridiculously easy to receive sensitive information securely with end to end encryption, that does not even require both parties to have an account.
This seems completely irrelevant. Photo cameras don't instristically rely on painters having existed and continuing to exist to do their thing.
This is bullshit and you know it. Politicians have been incredibly slow to accept the reality of climate change because they depend on oil dollars. Oil companies have spent 40 years spreading misinformation to mislead people on this issue because they knew very well that a fixing this problem would lead to reduced profits for them. They bought politicians to block proposals, pushed the least effective solutions when blocking it became infeasible. Politicians with any meaningful power have been squarely on the side of the oil companies in this, and that's why so little has been done these past 40 years.

The rational arguments warning us about global warming and climate change go back more than 100 years. Alexander Graham Bell (inventor of the telephone) wrote an article in 1908 where he explained why burning oil would eventually lead to global warming. Because scientists already knew how this worked over 100 years ago. Politicians have only very recently been coming to grips with this, and even then extremely reluctantly, because they know it will hurt their powerful oil buddies.
For a good CAD user book i find the one for QCAD very good for learning the basics of CAD drawing (and the Qcad software).

This book is not free (35$), but it's available in multiple languages (english, french, german, italian). Even if you use another CAD software, its a good starting point.

Simulating a slow typist
You can find discussions on this by googling "AI Foom" - the key idea is that an AGI that can recursively self-improve will be able to rapidly escape human control before any entity could check it, and very likely without humans even knowing that this had happened. Such an AI would likely consider humans an obstacle to its objectives, and would develop some sort of capacity to quickly destroy the world. Popular hypothesized mechanisms for doing so involve creating nanomachines or highly-lethal viruses.

That's key to the story of the paperclip maximizer - the paperclip maximizer will go about its task by trying to improve itself to be able to best solve the problem, and once it's improved enough it will decide that paperclips would be maximized by destroying humanity and would come up with a plan to achieve this outcome. However, humans may not realize that the AI is planning this until it's too late.

I wonder why they all did that in the late XIX, early XX century? The communist/socialist revolutionaries also wanted to burn society to the ground by encouraging cruelty and unrestrained sexual passions (glass of water theory[1]).

Some of them succeeded and did exactly as advertised.

I have one!

My memory is pretty crap, and I've been around the block a few times so I'm not stating that this truly is my worst bug but it was ... bad.

I was working in embedded, developing part of the control software for ... something. The microcontroller had a vendor-developed C compiler, with some extensions. It was a 16-bit chip more or less, so addressing large areas of memory was complicated. The flash was larger than 64 KB, so in order to write all of it you had to use more than 16 bits.

Luckily, the vendor compiler had an extension like in the DOS days, where you could add the proprietary "far" modifier to a pointer in order to signal that you wanted lots of range. Like this:

unsigned char far *ptr = FLASH_BASE;

or something. Imagine then my surprise when I was looping over the flash (I think I was computing a CRC to validate software integrity, or something) and

ptr++;

simply failed to reach all of it. I read the generated code, and the compiler was emitting 16-bit arithmetic, completely ignoring the fantastic "far" modifier. I changed it to something like

ptr = (unsigned char *) ((uint32_t) ptr + 1);

and got the proper code, and it worked.

At that point, I was like "whoa, I found a compiler bug, gonna report it!" and sent off the details to our field applications engineer from the vendor.

...

Who came back with "yeah, we know, but we choose this behavior since it gives better performance" or something along those lines.

That just completely killed my trust in that vendor, and any interest in working with them again. As a person who has been writing code for close to 40 years, that kind of attitude just blows my mind, and really makes me upset. You're supposed to trust the compiler, a compiler bug should be rare. Correctness is important, these here programming things are hard enough without having the compiler lie to you.

Gosh, it makes me upset even now just thinking about it. Heh.

How is performance not important in this context?

React is very sluggish when updating many elements at once, for not very large values of "many". With some regularity, I've debugged React+MobX jank issues where a bigger update, such as switching from one panel to another, takes upwards of 200ms on a mid- or low-range machine.

None of this is perceptible on our beefy dev boxes, which is why I think people disregard it, and why the modern webapp experience is so miserable for the average person.
> pretty good

But done and thus stagnating. Companies hate "pretty good", "done" and stagnating. They want to offer new stuff. Enable growth. Crossselling. Upselling.
EAs premise includes basically "all human lives are equal. Saving one stranger's life is just as valuable as saving your father's life (more valuable actually if the stranger has more years left than your dad), so you should donate your kidney to a stranger, not your father"

"All human lives are equal" then expands to "and there are more unborn lives than there are currently living lives, so it's more important to save unborn kids in 200 years by diverting AI catastrophe now".

I personally don't think unborn lives are worth anything, and as such I don't follow that jump. I don't feel a need to justify it either.

I think there's two additional easy ways to veer off the EA course.

The first is "how do we know EA is right about the charities?" The answer you'll get is basically "Sure, you can donate a kidney to your father and know it saved his life, you can verify that... but the people verifying your EA kidney donation does more good are smarter than you. They're rationalists. They do math. They know selling your kidney, which would have only saved one life, to a black market and getting enough money for 50 mosquito nets, which will save 20 lives, is the right deal. The spreadsheet says so."

I do not buy that the people running and choosing EA charities are actually the smartest people, especially when it comes to having a positive impact on lives. Sure, they talk a big talk, but I know for a fact that when I give money to a local shelter, the money gets used for good. I know for a fact that when I donated to a certain EA charity I won't name, the money went into "AI research" which is to say into the pockets of a rich white dude. I know for a fact that the average EA rationalist I have met does not come off as a caring human.

A second way that one can veer off the EA course is by deciding that one values some lives more than others. For example, if I live in a small city, I may decide I value the lives of orphans in this city more than the lives of the orphans in some third-world country. Sure, feeding an orphan in africa is cheaper so EA would say do that, but I may decide that the intangible value of improving my local community is worth more than "getting the most bang for my buck". I think this is also a totally reasonable argument, and in fact I would much rather live in a world where everyone tried to improve their local community than one where everyone used a spreadsheet to try and maximize their "best improvement per dollar".
What a nice idea it was to scroll immediately and figure out this is another bullshit reactive programming evangelism blogpost.

That's a windows issue. When they say dword, they actually mean 32bit. It's just a type alias.

I assume you will find the same issue on the Window NT ports to MIPS and PowerPC.

Where you see dword as 64bit on those platforms is their documentation and assembly syntax. Most software in higher level languages (that aren't windows) avoided naming their type alias as WORD, DWORD and QWORD.

> For all these reasons it seems unlikely that these new programs will revive our concern about machines "taking over" to the intensity of the early sixties, though there is one important counterpoint to be made. These programs could enormously increase the surveillance powers of governments. Right now research into face- and speech-recognition programs is proceeding very slowly, but if they are achieved, governments will be able to monitor hundreds of thousands of phone conversations simultaneously, or automatically compile dossiers on the routines of large numbers of its citizens. In such a society one might well feel that machines had indeed taken over.

> DNS64 breaks DNSSEC

Yes, it does. While in theory you could "undo" the translation and verify against the re-synthesized A record, nobody is going to do that.

464XLAT shifts the "make an IPv6 address from an IPv4" to the CPE or even end device (Apple Devices are known to work well with 464XLAT). For this the device discovers the prefix, and if software wants to make an IPv4 connection, it sends it to the NAT64 using the prefix + IP. DNS64 would be no longer needed.
basically you pay a % of your salary to the pension fund. the higher the salary the more money you pour into. yes it will reduce profits for employers but even that is only short term. if salary rise you are more competitive on the global talent pool and you can do like america where a big chunk of today s giant were built by highly educated immigrants that came mostly because of the high salaries

Did anybody else face the issue that they got a mail from Microsoft asking them to "Try Designer" however once you try to login with your account it mentions: This account doesn't exist.

I am not sure what Designer is and I wanted to check if it was a Figma/Adobe XD competitor.
Surely it would work with a format like:

I wonder if they are going after Canva or Figma. Feels like once you hit a certain revenue threshold, all the GAFAM/GAMMA are putting effort to put you down.

That’s capitalism 101, but in 50 years from now, it might be really hard to start a software company. GAMMA would have eaten just about everything.

How is blame attributed in that environment? While it is difficult to know, the first camp might be a reaction to a place where people are blamed for every mistake. It seems like a defensive position to not be blamed. Is it a place with very low-tolerance for risk?

> How do you know the CD Hash Sig is genuine though?

You don't, unless you trust the source of it, or supply your own.

> I see this with hash values on websites next to ISO and other files.

This doesn't solve the problem you have in mind - verifying the file is genuine; it solves the problem of verifying that what you got is what you expected, i.e. what the site promised. The hash is there so you can detect download errors (used to be a much more frequent thing than it is now). Secondarily, because the files usually sit on a different server than the site itself, the hash lets you detect some cases of your download being tampered with in-flight, or the file itself altered on the server. Not all of such cases, just those where the attacker could affect the download, but couldn't modify the website itself.

To postpone its fate, they'll advocate for a harsher taxation of their neighbor and the business next door so they can profit from them the most ("I know they have money, while I'm so poor you know..."). They also need newcomers in the pyramid, so they advocate for more recruits.

Then they will call that "solidarity" so they don't have to face their short-term, greedy mindset, the same they blame others for.

> when the same person registered or created all of them

Exactly. How does the service trusting that the address or subdomain as identity know that they refer to the person that created them?

I have surname.tld, I create dave@surname.tld for me and wayne@surname.tld for my brother. If Wayne annoyed me and I was a dick about it I could revoke the name or reconfigure it in order to act in his name maliciously. The same for sub-domains. How does a service wanting to trust the address as ID know which of us has that control? My identity is more strongly linked to my token (address/sub-domain) than Wayne's but there is no way to infer this from the identifying tokens themselves.

Of course a hack at domain registrar level could stiff it all over, so even only using top-level domains isn't perfect, but there is definitely a difference in the level of identity stability guarantee between domain and sub-domain or email address. (So the is a difference between dholms.xyz, and dan@dholms.xyz or dan.dholms.xyz)
> a lot of the form libraries out there triggered huge numbers of rerenders and caused perf issues

Something I don’t quite get, doesn’t useRef just solve the re-render issue?
EA is at least partly a moral and ethical pyramid scheme. You get to be noble and far-sighted, do relatively little real work, and you’ll never be judged on the outcomes because of the long timelines. And so you rope in more and more acolytes who both increase and accrue these same benefits. It seems unlikely that the fall from grace of prominent figures will affect the movement, given that it’s partly based on cognitive dissonance as it is.

All that said, the amount of energy we expend on AI safety probably shouldn’t be zero. But I choose to believe that if Roko’s basilisk is going to torture us over anything, it’ll be that we didn’t raise up millions of AI scientists from the cotton fields and sweatshops. Credit to the less prominent altruists doing that, or who at least have some form of compound interest built into their utility function which compels them to be kind, now.
9front springs to mind
Are you suggesting that the OpenBSD Project is not about creating useful things?
Oh there is...

Imagine you see all the power being used up ahead of winter, and you predict this problem... Yet it seems like nobody else has noticed...

So you swoop in and, with profits in mind, you buy up some electricity futures contracts for December. They're quite cheap right now, and you suspect that when the blizzard hits they'll be really valuable. By doing so, you push the price of them up a bit.

Meanwhile, Fred over at the hydro plant sees that futures contracts for electricity are higher in December than now, so he'll make more money by switching off the generators now and using that water later in December when he'll get paid more for it.

Bob at the aluminium smelter sees that spot prices for power now are higher (because the hydro shut off), and futures prices suggest they'll be even higher in December too. So it's probably more profitable to shutdown the plant for repairs now, and restart production next year.

See how you noticing this problem started a chain of events that solved the problem? That's the power of markets - they can use the collective knowledge and intelligence of all the participants to solve a problem.
