That seems like a cavalier approach to type warnings. Sure, it may not be an issue, most of the time, but type warnings are there to highlight/suggest potentially bad code, e.g., poorly thought out or insufficient consideration given to typing, overflows, etc.

For a one-off or bit of hobby code, I'm quite happy to compile without warnings and/or to ignore whatever warnings my code generates, but for something I am sharing with others, especially releasing and hoping they will adopt, I crank the warnings to 11 and make sure compiles are clean, without pragmas.
Even if you don't care about a few dollars, careless excess spending can drive prices up.

I don't care, really, whether the box of macaroni and cheese I buy is $0.35 or $1.69. But I'll tend to buy the cheaper, just because I don't want to contribute to the success of the higher price point. It's my fight for the common man.

I have ADHD and maybe some sort of low grade dyslexia. My voracious curiosity with no regard to structured learning or topical coherence has only been a huge boon to my reading/writing. I think ADHD/dyslexia has been a bigger problem in my math and science classes where I write something different than what my brain is thinking, or I make arithmetic mistakes. For instance, if I forget to write the first noun in a sentence, it isn't as huge a problem as when I mix up a summation and summand in an answer or on the way to one.

Hmm.. that would be pretty great, actually. podcasts and youtubers do radio and TV far better than radio and TV companies do.
The way those criteria usually get written in a startup with mission-critical customer-facing stuff (like this privacy issue) is that first the person watching Twitter and email and whatever else pages the engineers, and then there's a retro on whether or not that particular one was necessary, lather, rinse, repeat.

All you need on day 1 is someone to watch the (metaphorical) phones + a way to page an engineer. Don't start by spending a million bucks a year, start by having a first aid kit at the ready.

As far as I know, there is no AGI community. You’re framing a risk/situation/problem as a group/cause. It is not.

This isn’t like walking past a bunch of charity booths and thinking “who seems to have their act together?”. That mindset works great for deciding between donating to a charity that gives wheelchairs to the poor and another that gives glasses. It is not the right framing to evaluate the issue of something destroying humanity.

The massive difference is it is completely wrong to think “well this would be a big deal, but they’re really blowing the execution”. No, that makes it a bigger deal. That’s the fundamental difference between a threat and an opportunity. Either it’s not real and it doesn’t matter, or it is real and it matters a lot. It’s not conditional on if someone can pull it off.

The security concerns that impact people today are just not on the same scale of importance. Having your chat history leak or people getting scammed by voice imitations of family members is not in the same category as a super intelligent AGI whose interest doesn’t align with ours. It’s like saying a group that saw the development of the atom bomb coming and chose to focus on preventing all-out nuclear war should have done more about the radioactive water runoff from the testing sites. And, that they didn’t, means that nuclear war isn’t that important and they shouldn’t be taken seriously.
> But financial damage on programs distributed for free is…nothing.

Not necessarily.

For instance, if the program is distributed free for a limited set of purposes under a license, but available for a negotiated license (with payment) for other purposes, then the reasonable market value of a license without the restriction would be actual damages.
Everything is arbitrary at the end of the day. Where does "Asian culture" end and "European culture" begin? Does that mean there is no asian culture or culture at all? Clearly something is going on when you compare someone from a Kenyan village to someone from Tokyo. The difference is maybe as stark as the difference in their continents.

Saying something is fuzzy is not the same thing as saying it's arbitrary. Everything in life is fuzzy except made up abstractions we define to not be so. That doesn't mean concepts and categories themselves don't have meaning or "exist".
I’d say it’s a problem and a reason why they won’t tell us more information.

That is not my experience having to deal with a Python codebase for the first time in my life recently. I do not enjoy attempting to understand the magical annotations everywhere, the terse, cryptic syntax of list comprehensions, random syntax trivia like array[::-1], tons of line noise in regular expressions, having to __format__ "private" symbols like this, and so on.

I obviously don't have experience with Python, but the only good thing about the syntax to my eyes is the vertical space savings you gain by doing away with curly braces.

> Parents who don't like what their school libraries stock should lobby their school board, vote for school board members who share their views, and maybe even run for school board.

Maybe they should do that too (and I believe that's actually not uncommon), but it doesn't preclude or de-legitimize other political action to address the problem.

In any case, tactical criticism such as yours is almost always noise. It usually amounts to a veiled instruction to surrender, and in any case would be constructed against any tactic chosen (e.g. "whatever it is you're doing, it's not the right way and you should stop and do some other thing). Also, opponents are motivated to give poor tactical advice and typically do so.

> because the entire point of making this non-issue an issue in the first place was to boost state and national level candidates, not to do anything useful or appropriate

Come on. All sides are grandstanding all the time nowadays, even on this particular issue. Complaints about it are almost always soaked with myside bias.
>> Us humans are capable of self-improvement

> No, you're capable of learning things. You can't do brain surgery on yourself

What principle do you have for defining self-improvement the way that you do? Do you regard all software updates as "not real improvement"?

>All real things have limitations.

Uh, yep, that doesn't mean it will be as limited as us. To spell it out: yes, real things have limitations, but limitations vary between real things. There's no "imaginary flawless" versus "everything real has exactly the same amount of flawed-ness".

The disclosure is provides valuable information, but the introduction suggests someone else or «open-source» is to blame:

>We took ChatGPT offline earlier this week due to a bug in an open-source library which allowed some users to see titles from another active user’s chat history.

Blaming an open-source library for a fault in closed-source product is simply unfair. The MIT licensed dependency explicitly comes without any warranties. After all, the bug went unnoticed until ChatGPT put it under pressure, and it was ChatGPT that failed to rule out the bug in their release QA.

IDK... I do see you point, but I'd like to think both I and the commenter I responded to were using analogies in an ok way.

Analogies are a pretty good rhetorical device, IMO because we kind of think in abstract analogies anyway. We could have both made our points without analogy, but I don't think much content is lost.

His point is that Bankers are the professionals. This is true. I "complicated" the analogy/comment to highlight the tension between "bankers are knowledgeable professionals" and "bankers are an interested party."

In any case, I feel that analogies are ok. The problem with my comment might have been an overly combative or nitpicky tone, especially given that we probably agree of most of it.

AI search seems to have similar dynamics to traditional search. The people writing the stuff you’re searching for need to make money. (For example, AI doesn’t magically know about real-world events. It needs a human being to write about it.) Then the company offering the search product needs to make money too.

If you compensate sites for using their data in your AI product, then there will be the same incentives as now to game the system (AISEO?)

If you don’t compensate sites, then they’re not incentivized to produce the content that makes your search product useful.
> How is it that literally nobody – whether deploying a hobby project or working at Microsoft or Google – has ever been able to figure out cert rotation? There's a billion dollar company waiting to be built if someone can just ensure that all my TLS certs across all servers will stay up to date for all eternity.

After doing SRE work for big companies, I have observed that many individuals, particularly young developers at well-known companies, are hesitant to ask for help for fear of appearing incompetent. Consequently, their mistakes may go unnoticed for extended periods of time, as is the case today.

Unfortunately, even senior developers may make errors due to their egos. There is no comprehensive company-wide policy that can prevent individuals from being foolish or overconfident. When working for major corporations such as Microsoft or Google, one cannot expect to micromanage everyone constantly. One must trust that individuals will perform their duties to the best of their abilities.

Let us accept that humans are not infallible, and that unintentional mistakes, such as this one, can and will occur. The key is to address these issues promptly and efficiently.

Giving you a buffer that grows is the allocation approach I am talking about. This is not how your OS works. Your OS itself works with an allocator that does a pretty good job making sure that your memory ends up not fragmented. Because WASM is in between, the OS is not in control of the memory, and instead the browser is. The browser implementation of "bring your own allocator" is cute but realistically just a waste of time for everybody who wants to deploy a wasm app because whatever allocator you bring is crippled by the overarching allocator of the browser messing everything up.

Sorry, but no. ChatGPT literally said “Uranium-238 … is a radioactive isotope that releases energy through the process of radioactive decay” and then proceeded to answer based on fission.

> comments are code smell [paraphrasing]

Good news: there are kinds of extremely useful comments that do not repeat the code (your comments should not repeat the code). Comments are to express context/intent behind the code: the "why", the high level "what", and almost never the exact "how" (read code for that).

It looks like you only ever encountered the "how" comments. No amount of code refactoring would get you the "why" (context) comments.
Yup, this should be addressed with the same level of detail and transparency as a postmortem for a technical failure.
