Also, all the standards were crap.

HTTP got basic auth, which is crap because plaintext password transmission happens, also the browsers never got around to implement any sensible UI (e.g. you cannot log off). Then it got digest auth, which at least wasn't plaintext in transmission, but required plaintext password storage on the server. Then came negotiate, which only worked with some proprietary products, had even worse UI and was unusable outside a company's internal net.

Alongside that, there was HTTPS client auth, where, instead of fixing known problems, standards devolved into "sorry, we don't support that anymore". Also, the UI was crap.

Alongside that, there are homegrown methods using web forms, cookies, a lot of spit and maybe some javascript, which everyone uses atm. Everyone rolls their own, because over decades, standard bodies couldn't get their shit together. Also, everyone suffered from the corresponding attacks on all the weak and broken homegrown crap out there.

There is friction and cost, but those come from a lack of trying and a lack of giving a fuck by the people building web browsers, web servers and web standards. They basically declared the problem solved after the invention of cookies.

I am not talking about open source architecture, but more about a worldwide non-toxic ISA: namely anybody can create FREELY a RISC-V microarchitecture AT WORLWIDE SCALE, and that closed or open, which you cannot with arm or x86.

Ofc, worldwide royalty free is not enough (or just be allowed to implement the ISA...), silicium is really about performance, and I sincerely hope RISC-V will end up providing microarchitectures (open or not) "good enough" to do the job.

I am perfectly aware RISC-V will fail if not providing at scale really good implementations. Rumors say "really performant" implementations are not expected before 2024.

I had the same question. I visited Venice years ago, and though I definitely think the place deserves to be on people's bucket list (it's beautiful, an engineering marvel, and I kept thinking to myself "How can this place still exist?"), but it still felt like "adult Disneyland" - more a museum almost than a place to live.

Genuinely curious about what life is like living there, and what the draw would be to move there.
I can think of a few ideas:

* you can't get paid by insurance unless you have payment authorization from the patient on an estimate that is within 30% of the actual price (exceptions for emergency care).

* a requirement that all provider participate in an digital marketplace where patents and providers can get immediate quotes for labs/procedures and you get a list of local options+prices.

* anti-trust break up of healthcare cartels

* some price cap like 200% of medicare negotiated rates as a backstop for these really crazy outlier bills.
The "big salaries" can only be a small part of it, because while the salaries are bigger than average in tech, they aren't that much bigger until you reach a relatively elite status (IC5+, e.g., "team tech lead", "principal software engineer", etc.), at an elite company (FAANG or FAANG-like).

For me it's a combination of the cultural mix, the climate, and the opportunities (my current job, and the potential for others).
I hate to throw OT shade, but as a commercial artist, I'm gonna– the hero photo in this article shows the importance of my profession. Creating images is a lot easier than deciding how best to visually communicate an idea and conceptually manipulate the most relevant components. I probably could have made a vector drawing in 10 minutes, or a photorealistic image in photoshop in about 15 that would have done the job a million times better, and considering how much cheaper artists and designers are than developers, it probably would have been about the same labor cost if money was involved. I get it... It's a blog post... But it's seriously like the clipart revolution all over again, just without the guard rails provided by pre-made imagery.

It is reasonable to assume that there is a maximum limit to local processing power.

The speed of light puts limits on how far information can move within a given latency threshold. As you expand a computational system's capacity you face unavoidable trade-offs between interconnection throughput, latency, and computational capacity.

We don't know how close to this maximum the human brain is. However it does seem likely that there are diminishing returns on effort spent increasing the intelligence of a system. Thus it seems like runaway intelligence growth is unlikely.

> If something can think a lot faster that’s already a major shift and it seems likely to me that would only be part of it.

Artificial human scale intelligence would already lead to massive shifts. However, the growth past that point could be incremental.

Happens a lot. Left-wing groups in the UK and US are sometimes essentially government front groups.

The McLibel case [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/McLibel_case] was a big thing for lefties when I was a teen. McDonald's sued some lefty British vegans over a pamphlet they were handing out, but didn't realize that the activists they were suing would love nothing more than to air their beliefs in court with McDonald's for years on end.

Turns out that one of the authors of the pamphlet was an undercover cop. The woman who being sued, Helen Steel, met a man during the lawsuit and dated him for two years until he disappeared without a trace. He was also an undercover cop. Keir Starmer offered his legal services to the accused for free, which is some of the best evidence that he also worked in British intelligence.

You deal with it the same way as you deal with any value that may change and may not be unique: you don't make it your primary key.

Just index it separately, and resolve your links at insertion time to your internal actually-stable-and-unique keys. Then when your system runs into one of these duplicates you can tell what is happening, and you have a chance to fix it, rather than blindly plowing ahead and ruining even more data.

None of this has anything to do with how you represent your API to other systems. Do whatever you need there. And if system X is confused and thinks public-ID-Y is actually Z, well now you can handle it - that's just another discriminator, but you select this one based on the querier.

Yes, I fully agree. From my comment: "something like this make sense if [...] got the land and materials for free"

> Urban utility rates also tend to be much higher than a bit further ou

If you could centrally plan this kind of project and had complete freedom to do anything you wanted you could:

1. Use light tubes to funnel sunlight into the building for the plants. You could also pretty cheaply collect more light than the sqft-age of the roof by putting reflectors on multiple roofs to reflect light towards a central point on your farm building: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crescent_Dunes_Solar_Energy_Pr....

2. You can make the entire building a greenhouse. NYC loves steel, glass, and concrete so you could probably make the entire envelope of the structure glass. Many buildings already do this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kdy-bOTYlDs. This would let even more light in.

3. You could use this building as part of your waste treatment process. Human waste has a lot of nutrients needed for plant growth (nitrogen, phosphorus, etc). Rather than ship fertilizer, mined and processed across the globe, we could just extract most plant nutrients from waste. We're (the USA) currently not entirely managing this side responsibly: https://newsroom.ucla.edu/releases/treated-sewage-algae-bloo...

4. We could use far less water which, in climates which do most of our growing, would be pretty important. Since the building would essentially be a greenhouse you would retain a lot more moisture.

There are a lot of synergies where if we had control over the growing environment we could improve things. For example: we could collect light in light tubes, use crystals to split out only the light segments which the plants need, and use the remaining light segments for solar energy (panels, desalination, dehydration of products, etc). There are endless mini optimizations that we can't do right now.

Obviously, though, this is entirely hypothetical because the construction costs are not currently yet outweighed by the existing farming industry production pipeline. Once more externalities are accounted for that may change things (ex: we lose the ability to mine fertalizer due to war or supply). Then moving food production closer to consumers might make sense.
The right comparison is comparing Gemtext to Markdown. I don't think Solderpunk or other Gemini users have any complaint with Markdown in particular.

The biggest problem with Markdown is that the vast majority of Markdown libraries convert Markdown to HTML. These are of course useless to implementing a native client that isn't based on HTML. (In addition, the CommonMark test suite is concerned with defining the correct HTML to output for a given Markdown input.)

So while Gemtext is heavily inspired by Markdown, there's no reason to introduce a reliance on Markdown.

Thanks for this clarification.

I think the post conflates "fast takeoff" and "any existential risk to worry about from AI" a bit, which is fair enough since Bostrom does the same. Some of the arguments apply just to the former, some to both.

But especially if it turns out that LLMs are a meaningful piece of the puzzle to AGI, we might be living in a slow-takeoff world. And yet that doesn't mean there's nothing to worry about, IMO. We have a bit more time to figure out how to align AIs with a slow takeoff, but we still have to do it. Even in our current world, deep learning capabilities seem to be advancing a lot faster than our ability to understand how deep learning models make decisions. And even if we did develop the theoretical capability to align models, we have to actually use it. Seems unfortunately plausible that by default we instead give the first superintelligent models directives like "just make Facebook market cap number go up" - or maybe we make the first corporate models very conservative but then someone leaks the weights and open sourcers tell a superintelligent model "please destroy humanity" just for the lulz. If a misaligned model is only a little bit smarter than us (because we're assuming slow takeoff), we probably still have a shot at beating it and saving ourselves - but I'm not sure how much to count on that, given our inability to control even complex institutions actually made of people, and the advantages that an AI with otherwise-human-equivalent reasoning capability gets by default (ability to save & restore, copy/parallelize, speed up from hardware improvements, etc).

and

> str.split <-- ?!? ah, it's C++, std::string

> does not have a split() method.

Both confuse two existing entities from different languages/frameworks, which is exactly my point. These entities exist, they are not made up at all. They are just out of context. Ironically, the LLMs I used did rarely run into this kind of mistake (confusing similar entities of a different context).

As an example of what I got when asking a popular LLM for code that traverses the macOS accessibility UI element hierarchy: It lectures me in a quite self-satisfied tone that I should commence to use the function "AXObserve" that does not exist, as it turns out. This is completely made up. There is no such thing. If you google the exact word, it doesn't even bring up anything related to programming let alone the macOS APIs. Now I will admit that my mind is capable of doing the same. Under severe intoxication :)

On a side note: std::string should totally have a split() method and count() is more appropriate (as in intuitive) than size(). So I would say your brain is more "right" than the language in this case :)

Maybe we could agree that LLMs can probably serve as part of a foundation for a future model that actually can output a result of some "real" understanding of a subject?

> There have always been media and politicians that want to use fear to control the people. Why is now and why is the US special?

The US certainly isn't special. We see the effects of disinformation in all countries. Increase in social tensions and belief in conspiracy theories, elections swung by social media campaigns, the radical right gaining power, Brexit, etc. These are all orchestrated in part by companies like Cambridge Analytica, foreign and local propaganda, troll farms, etc.

None of this is really new. What's made it special _now_ is the internet. It has given both local and foreign agents the reach and power to influence public opinion on an unprecedented scale.

> If someone is falling for fake information, it is not the media's fault, they can fact check any media themselves.

Really? Fact check it where, on the internet? If all sources of information are polluted to the point where it's either impossible or very difficult to discern fact from fiction, can we really blame people for believing what they read, hear and see?

But you're right that the average person won't even make an effort to doubt the information they're provided from whatever source they already align with. So, yes, education and critical thinking are crucial, but this is exactly what disinformation agents know how to exploit. Psyops and information warfare work, and they work better today than ever before.

I disagree that “nothing can be done”.

There’s lots that could be done that don’t fall in to your description of affirmative action.

Invitations could be extended to people to submit proposals for a talk. This already happens, but maybe the circle gets expanded once it’s evident that the circle has been too small. The simple act of asking is often enough to make people feel welcome.

I also call BS on the claim that you’ve never discriminated against someone. No person is a saint like that. Every human and sentient creature has inherent biases.

Maybe you’ve never actively discriminated, but you most surely have passively done so at some time in your life. For anyone to claim they are perfect in this regard is only fooling one’s self.

That you then go on to say that it’s not there 95% of the time withoit any actual reflection on the matter perhaps shows that you’re not well versed enough in the dynamics of race and gender relations to make that call.
