As I remember it, you had to buy a certificate from a CA and provide some real-world credentials along with this, and this wouldn't have been an instant process. Would this even have accepted self-signed certificates (as it seems to be suggested here)?

> People who call themselves scientists should not be making high confidence predictions to the public or politicians when they don't perfectly understand the underlying relationships

that is an interesting opinion, but it doesn't seem to make a lot of sense, considering nobody perfectly understands the underlying relationships of any of our science, with quantum physics still a work in progress

perhaps that is why trust in science remains, despite any nihilistic claims to the contrary

> Look at the CO2 line and then mark on the various international summits, treaties, etc. They aren't visible. Nothing changed.

it would be farcical to suggest that an international summit would somehow immediately decrease CO2 levels, and to thus treat the absence of such a ridiculous and nongradual change as evidence that there was no change

is that indeed what you're suggesting?

Pray tell what you call it then:

A company takes a game that had a very lively multiplayer community, replaces the game engine that was based on software that could run on any platform as long as it supported Java to .NET where the only possible platform is Windows. Take everyone who has ever purchased the game and force them to migrate their accounts to a Microsoft account in order to continue playing, then intentionally make the two versions of the game incompatible just to force people to play a watered down "definitive edition" that still lacks many of the features that allowed the community to thrive in the first place while issuing all these updates that essentially equate to "spyware".

> No one likes Internet Explorer, it has a 90% market share just because it comes bundled with Windows.

Society will be fine, actually AI will make things much better, just as the internet did. People have been making these kind of extreme predictions for decades and it was always wrong. The only people still upset about better communications tech are the people who pine for the days when all that was expected of respectable people was automatically trusting anyone working for the government, a university or a newspaper that claimed to be trustworthy.

What have we got now? ChatGPT is trained to give all sides of the issue and not express strong opinions, which is better than 90% of journalists and academics manage. Their collective freakout about the "dangers" of AI is really just a part of the ongoing freakout over losing control over information flows. It's also just a kind of clickbait, packaged in a form that the credentialed class don't recognize as such. It's en vogue with AI researchers because they tend to be immersed in a culture of purity spirals in which career advancement and prestige comes from claiming to be more concerned about the fate of the world than other people.

Meanwhile, OpenAI control their purity spirals, get the work done and ship products. The sky does not fall. That's why they're winning right now.
It makes plenty of sense.

On https://prism-break.org/en/all/#email, they state "For more email providers, take a look at Privacy-Conscious Email Services. Please decide for yourself whether if you trust them with your data. For more discussion about safe email providers, please see issue #461.".

They even state that Thunderbird is a "Extensible, cross-platform email client.". The implied idea being to use Thunderbird to access a "Privacy-Conscious Email Service".

I use Gmail as an email client more than than I use it as an email provider because it has an External Accounts function. I apply Google's "App Script" system to my email to do things that you could do in Outlook's full-fat client or maybe in Thunderbird with some extensions.

"That isn't and wasn't the thing that RISC processors reduced."

Yes, it was, it literally was. Which addressing mode are you referring? Address calculation mode, or operand accessing mode? Because you have NO IDEA what you're taking about.

RISC original idea was all instructions would execute in a single tick. They had a load-store design, everything was hard-wired, and there would be no multi-step operations, and there would be ZERO microcode.

* ARM has microcode, everything is not hard-wired
* ARM has multi-tick instructions

The only thing ARM has that is RISC is load-store, and now there are multiple prefetch load-stores, which absolutely goes against the grain of original RISC mentality.

By RISC processor standards of the 1970s-1990s, ARM is not a RISC processor.

A load-store design is where operations are loaded into the registers. What this means is you have to load the operands into the registers, they don't come from memory.

A register-memory design is one where the operands can come from memory as well. This was the case for CISC in the 1980s, and 1990s. Not the case anymore. AVX is great example, Certain instructions can, and cannot be executed in this manner.

The ARM has predication, which IS NOT RISC. The ARM uses microcode, which is not RISC.

There are no pure RISC processors being designed today, in-which the original concepts Hennessy outlined. The lines between architectures are blurred.

I like how you take one thing, and then claim that makes it RISC. No it doesn't. The 80486 CISC was more RISC like than the modern ARM.

Can goal posts move? Yes. But what exists today are blurred amalgamations of both CISC and RISC. There are no pure CISC CPU's, as there are no pure RISC CPU's.
Reminds me of a press release by Hochreiter last week.

He claims to have ideas for architectures that could surpass the capabilities of GPT4, but can't try them for a lack of funding in his academic setting. He said his ideas were nothing short of genius..

I’m glad this ecosystem is slowly growing around Notion & their data. But any tool less popular than notion (or, less popular with developers) will not get this sort of attention. I work with a designer who keeps paying for (Indesign?) simply so she won’t lose access to some old design work she’s done.

Even with Notion, it’s obviously a degraded experience to import the data into obsidian using some motley set of extensions. Especially since obsidian isn’t designed to have feature parity with Notion. My experience as a user is straight up better with shrink wrapped software that I can but once and run indefinitely, even long after the vendor has moved on. I don’t want to play the guessing game, wondering which of the products I use will die before someone makes good 3rd party tooling. After being burned a couple times by this stuff, I really prefer not needing to worry about my work sinking below the waves. Local software gives me that power.

MN has neither. They did away with emissions tests...20 years ago? I don't think they've ever had a safety inspection, at least I don't remember it (I'm in my mid-50s), but maybe it was part of the emissions test at the time. Now I just fill out a quick form online every year for my new tabs and a week later get them in the mail and put them on.
There's a rebuke to this argument in the article:

> In some sense it doesn’t matter how a galactic civilization gets or uses its power because the second law of thermodynamics makes energy use hard to hide. They could construct Dyson spheres, they could get power from rotating black holes, they could build giant computer networks in the cold outskirts of galaxies, and all of that would produce waste heat. Wright’s team went right to the peak of the curve for where you’d expect to see any sort of waste heat, and they’re just not seeing anything obvious.

In any case their funding came from The Templeton Foundation and all they did was look at existing imagery.

Either way, I'd rather live in a world where we looked and didn't find anything than one where we didn't bother looking.
> "although the effects of CO2 in cognition and energy levels are debatable"

it's really not debatable. the feeling of stuffiness is a function of many things, but environmentally, it's mostly temperature and humidity (we humans are hot and breathe out lots of humidity). there are no cognitive/energy effects until you get into the 10's of thousand of ppm, as the mechanism of action is competing out oxygen, not some intrinsic maladaption to CO₂, which is actually vital to life on earth. it's fashionable to hate on carbon right now (it's mediopolitical), and that's really all there is to it.

particulates, VOCs and chemical off-gassing, on the other hand, do have known mechanisms of harm, and that's something you should be more concerned about, but not yet alarmed. most of that pollution comes from cars and coal/gas power generation, so long-term, we should move toward more efficient habitation (e.g., denser cities, public transit) and cleaner power generation (including nuclear) if we really care about our collective health.

practically no one should be worried about CO₂ in their daily lives. it's thoroughly a red herring.
What you propose would require radical changes, practically back to the 1980s, and wouldn't even really free you from anything.

Who cares if there is no internet if your cellphone can track you? If your car runs on connected apps? If your credit card & POS systems are networked? Security cameras and facial recognition are still things.

Just cuz you're not getting spammed via website ads doesn't mean it's not tracking you constantly and jamming subtle things to change your world view. Means their attack surface is smaller; sniping instead of loudspeakers. And if their only option is sniping then they'll get really good at it.

1. It's completely possible to treat your phone as an insecure device. Maybe I'm naive, but I think it's possible to run a daily Linux system with a reasonable assumption of privacy.

2. When you act as if you are being monitored and judged for your words/actions, you begin to self govern them to be more acceptable to the presumed omnipresent agent. Sometimes the fear of being surveilled is as powerful as actual surveillance.
Really? Hinton dont need openAI to be relevant. He literally invented back propagation. He sticked to deep learning through 1990s and 2000s when almost all major scientist abandoned it. He was using neural networks for language model in 2007-08 when no one knew what it was. Again the deep learning in 2010s started when his students created AlexNet by coding deep learning in GPU. Chief Scientist of OpenAI Ilya Sutskever was one of his student while developing the paper.

He already have a Turing award and don't give a rat's ass about who owns how much search traffic. OpenAI just like Google will give him millions of dollar just to be a part of organization

The difference between my own government and a foreign government is twofold:
1. It has always been illegal for a foreign state actor to surveil me, and in any case has no authority over me and can't put me in jail (as long as I'm not in their country).
2. My own government is legally entitled to surveil me and collect my personal data, and can indeed put me in jail.

These social networks never implode in spectacularly entertaining fashion, making the premise of the site flawed from beginning. They become zombies and collapse gradually, and then suddenly.

Tree sitter grammars generate a complete/concrete syntax tree with incremental updates, they necessarily have to be able to represent invalid source text (because users will type it!).

If you're using a tree-sitter grammar as the input to a compiler (which is not what its designed for) you need to write a pass to convert from CST to AST, as you normally would.

Waterloo uses the HTDP book to teach freshmen introductory programming and CS. Now, I am sure, there are many students who take CS135 with no knowledge of what programming is. They are taught a functional language without state or mutation.

My question is how do they fare when they are to use imperative languages later on in the CS program where they have to use messy for loops and mutation and memory allocation? Is it better because they did CS135 first or hard?

To be frank, I don't think imperative language use is going away anytime soon. So, they need to learn the best use of both the worlds, hence, asking.

These could have been 4x5 polaroids, they had pretty good quality, as good if not better than any 35mm or medium format print.

As proof point, there was a type (50) where you could get a negative as well as a print. I don't recall being concerned about the quality of the negatives, the grain was pretty small. The only downside was the exposure to get a good negative wasn't one where you got a good print. So if it could get a good negative (2000dpi) for enlarging, it can make an awesome print (300-400dpi).

Trying to be diplomatic, but this is such an unnecessary snarky, useless response. Google obviously did go slow with their rollout of AI, to the point where most of the world criticized them to no end for "being caught flat footed" on AI (myself included, so mea culpa).

I don't necessarily think they did it "right", and I think the way they set up their "Ethical AI" team was doomed to fail, but at least they did clearly think about the dangers of AI from the start. I can't really say that about any other player.

Yes, I agree completely.

Though I can imagine a counter argument from a technologist/futurist positing that the incentive to automate in part comes from that merciless system of survival.

The modern Luddite, I think, doesn't necessarily "hate" looms, or their inventors. They just don't have any faith that those necessary compensations you describe will ever happen, or at least not quickly enough to save them. Perhaps the government is convinced by exactly that argument above. Or at very least too apathetic (or financially tangled) to fight it.

We all act along the axes where we can affect something, effect something. Smashing looms is a fool's errand, but sometimes that's all the power you feel you have.
So glad to see the return of these guys. Growing up in the 70s, they were one of the few portals to the universe of electrical engineering.
Going along with that, as long as they are "concerned" about how AI is developing it opens the door to regulation of it. This might just conveniently hobble anyone with an early mover advantage in the market.
That's assuming something.

Think about it otherwise: how do you know it's dangerous until you've seen it in real life?

Postal banking. Available in the US between 1911 and 1967.

How about this particular academic?
Sorry for the delay.

I think you are confusing "how things could go", and "how things would probably go" - ideal vs assessment of real.

The constructive side you are missing is that of the warning about awareness, and the insistence of the commonsensical principle "you do not open complexities, with their inherent drawbacks (possibly critical), without proportional reasons".
As others of posted the big difference here - and also the big challenge - is that indoor air is a definitively NOT a public service.

It requires a slew of regulation, enforcement bodies, and - from a US perspective - profitability for litigation attorneys.

Again with a US slant, ADA is the obvious legislative model for similar clean air regulations.

So it's possible, just more challenging than public sewage.
It depends on the family. My girlfriend wasn't allowed to drink any caffeine when she was a kid. Caffeine was normal in my family though.
