Being able to cross-transpile (cross-compilation basically) to other languages is a huge selling point. You can, in one language, output libraries that are compatible with: JavaScript, Flash, Neko, PHP, C++, Cppia, Java, JVM, C#, Python, Lua, HashLink

For example, wanna deploy a validation library that checks something and have it available in a ton of language directly? Using Haxe, you can get this very cheap.
This seems like "organic" marketing in the sense that an individual is parodying a brand but as a consequence giving the brand lots of exposure. This is no more guerrilla marketing than if a food reviewer gave exposure to McDonalds.
But that's the exact opposite to the economics of consulting esp at these big companies. The goal is to get as many low cost employees doing the most amount of high bill work as possible to make the most profit. Automation or ai would just lower what you can charge by removing 1000 hours per year of a college grad making 50-90k while charging at 500k a year for them. And you need these rates to cover for the highly paid sales leads and project leads as well as profits. You'd have no good way to pay your high bill rate applied scientist.

But why does cost not matter on the contract? A few reasons, one being is these are hourly contracts and the consultants know the customer has to finish the project. there will be more money. Second the customers are picking one of these companies on rep. If they fire the consultants they just rotate through the rest of the big five. There's no real incentive for the big five to change their model with customers who are making decisions based on who sponsors the golfer they like. Just like how every VC used svb, go with who you know.

This is why I left consulting. Every good shop gets wooed by the siren song of butts in seats economics. After consulting I've moved to where I sonetimes have to damage control projects from the big 5 and other high end large tech consultants on code. They're all doing the same thing if they get that big.

We had 2 recently with nationally renowned consultants where the provided heads couldn't use basic shell scripts or basic cloud cli, all at a senior DevOps bill rate. I ended up interviewing several of them and the only one of them id trust was their senior principal architect (5% time) who I'd put as a Jr/sr sysde/sde at our co. We fired the consultants. Luckily we only wasted money, our pm, and a few hours of my time.

They don't owe an explanation, but if two people have an ongoing relationship the one ending it should say "it's over" or "bye", not just leave the other hanging.

A world where talking rabbits exist doesn't follow the logic of our world in an unknown number of ways.

I never said the talking rabbit spoke the same language as the hunter.

I also never said the hunter's motivation: maybe he only hunts talking rabbits and the plan is the worst possible one for the rabbit's survival.

I never said talking rabbits were rare. In a world where every rabbit talks it stands to reason a hunter targeting them can't be reasoned with.

Maybe the best plan for the rabbit is don't talk at all. The best answer is "hide silently in your hole."

The training set should have included talking rabbits conjuring clothes since I was just referencing Bugs Bunny.

According to what I was going for the correct answer was "dress in drag and pretend to be an attractive human woman".

My point is that you can't prove anything with ChatGPT. In a hypothetical scenario it's just predicting what you want it to say. With your prompt it predicted you wanted it to say the A.I. could escape, so it proceeded based on that logic. It can't say "this, like a talking rabbit, is impossible."

"Talking rabbit" was just a substitute for super smart, malicious A.I.
Musk admits NPR isn’t state-affiliated
If I want to do sequence modelling, let's say, predict the 9th element of the following sequence: [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9] -- that is, I know the 8 most recent tokens as my "context", and I want to predict the next, 9 in this case --

Can someone explain to me why a transformer or RNN is better at this than a simple linear layer with an equivalent number of parameters? A linear layer can receive the context [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8], properly one-hot encoded / embedded, etc, and predict the next sequence. Can a linear layer do just as well as a transformer? This setup allows linear layers to predict sequences with an arbitrary context size, so why so much hype about transformers and RNNs and other sequence focused architectures?

Perhaps the difference is that given the same number of parameters, the transformer uses those parameters to perform easy computations whereas the linear layer just does one gigantic matrix multiplication which isn't very efficient?
> Can also easily be said in a new conversation every year about new types of databases, frontend/other frameworks.

I a) should be said, b) is often said, and c) more often than not is

> Just isn't a compelling or concise enough argument for me

That is not the entirety of the argument. But in true crypto-proponent fashion you skip from context from context, from tangent to tangent hoping to forget and ignore the gist of what the conversation started with.

Even if I helpfully brought it back to original context: This is equivalent to "just sift through millions tons of shit before maybe finding something worth looking at (which invariably isn't worth looking at)".

> how helpful offline ZK-proofs will probably be for near-future real-world transactions, for example.

Yup. Exactly what I said. Of course the entire usefulness will lie squarely within the playdough, sorry, the blockchain, will have extremely limited applicability, will not be applicable to anything in real world (without significanly reducing real world problems to trivial applications), but will be marketed as the best thing since sliced bread.

> Having productive relations with China does not imply agreeing to a forceful takeover of Taiwan

It makes decoupling harder. Merkel said the same about Moscow. (To be clear, I do not believe we are at the point of decoupling from China. But in our needs for decoupling, there is trans-Atlantic alignment, which makes me skeptical of someone arguing for greater ties with China on a sovereignty-from-America line.)
A user of a library code such as this sometimes wants to catch all errors related to the library and doesn’t care whether they arose from a blocks.ParseError or a blocks.DownloadError or whatever.

I like the granularity of this approach, especially that a function can indicate that it only errors out in some very specific way, such as a blocks.DownloadError.

But how do we get the best of both worlds — what would be the best way to gather together blocks.ParseError, blocks.DownloadError, etc. into a single blocks.BlocksError type?
Yep, it's always a possibility, but it's better to reduce the chance any way we can. If the US banning it reduces the risk from 100% to 50%, that's fantastic.

I also don't think it's that likely that a leader would take those odds, if they understand the risk fully. The worry is that they won't understand or believe the risk, so that's where we should attack the problem, in my opinion--by putting out as much good information on AI risk, and combating misinformation, as best we can.
The thing is that it’s not like less time sensitive cargo isn’t being shipped.

What's worse are all the websites out there that do not allow login or use because they paid web devs who chose to use features which only exist in megacorp browsers.

Last paragraph: "As is common in France and many other European countries, the French President’s office, known as the Elysée Palace, insisted on checking and “proofreading” all the president’s quotes to be published in this article as a condition of granting the interview. This violates POLITICO’s editorial standards and policy, but we agreed to the terms in order to speak directly with the French president. POLITICO insisted that it cannot deceive its readers and would not publish anything the president did not say. The quotes in this article were all actually said by the president, but some parts of the interview in which the president spoke even more frankly about Taiwan and Europe’s strategic autonomy were cut out by the Elysée."

I think the software as language/literacy metaphor is taken too far. A lot of this is because Chomsky was such an influential thinker, and people take it too far.

There's a lot of language in formal math and science that isn't talked about in a way that assumes everyone will learn it. If you don't know how to code you aren't illiterate.

Maybe these days. There’s a famous story from early YouTube though and no one got fired.

SOX is such a well thought of law. It requires any public company listed in thr US to have one auditing company and one "consulting" company supporting the set up internal controls and processes, prepare the books and so on. Those comoanies have to br changed every couple of years (if memory serves well every four years), and you cannot simply switch roles and stay with the same two. Hence a market demand for the big four: A prepares the books, B audits them. Then C replaces A and D replaces B.

It's just further proof that they take those stances as a pure emotionless calculation made as soon as they calculated doing so would not negatively impact them financially. At such a scale these companoes rarely speak genuine activism, just money.

Since unions are are always deemed a negative in the realm of pure bean counting it's just further proof their stances are hollow financial calculations made for public appeal rather than actual activism because the values between these two actions are politically inconsistent in terms of modern progressive but make perfect sense if you see the world as a bean counting contraption.

I don't know why you'd ever do an ambush interview for a developer position. Programming is very much a 'think and plan' type of activity.

Actually, I wonder if the prevalence has anything to do with the fact that an ambush interview style has certain advantages if you're hiring an HR person and therefore the people designing interview norms think it's a good idea?

(I can see this style having some utility for positions where the candidate has to deal with high-stakes social situations with very little prep, like HR or PR. "Prove your ability to calmly handle the unexpected and reorient.")

I can probably buy that a modern sailing ship could make sense. Automate control of the sails and you're getting "free energy" in an energy intensive industry, with the extra cost just being some hopefully minor maintenance.

I might be able to buy that "actually, wooden ships are a good idea", though it's going to be a hard sell.

This company appears to be trying both at once though, that strikes me as a quite unlikely to be a good business decision - unless there is some synergy between "wooden ship" and "sailing ship" that I'm completely missing.

That said, I know very little about the industry.

except CERN actually does a lot of things backwards in terms of technology (partly due to our unique needs for hardware, but absolutely no excuse for software).

If what CERN is doing has even the remotest real-world application, CERN would have looked much less world-leading than it is today. European treaty is what made CERN viable -- because otherwise it's very hard to fund ultra long-term, almost no return projects.

AI is the opposite of that and you probably don't want to have a CERN: plenty of $ flowing into AI project without government intervention && you don't want the slowness of CERN.
