I also find it consistently obnoxious that there is essentially no way to say "My driver was fine, but your platform did something stupid" when leaving feedback. At least, not without jumping through a million hoops. The arrogance of our industry is tiresome.

I took a ride in SF a while ago and it predicted a 3 minute pick up time which turned out to be 25 minutes - no fault of the driver, and the only way I could complain about this was to click through like 4 levels of "other issue" and then jump through hoops sending emails back and forth with support.
The great wheel continues to turn. If your wasm environment is a thin wrapper around the host you need to worry about the underlying system. So expect to see more and more abstraction or a break in portability. Similarly WASM assumes a lot about your language: imperative, statically typed, limited polymorphism, no GC (for now). It's not a good target for JS or Perl6 or Smalltalk or Common Lisp.
It's about Co2 emitted per energy produced. Germany emits on average 5 times more Co2 than France.

The emergence of something significantly more intelligent than us whose goal are not perfectly aligned with ours poses a pretty clear existential risk. See, for example, the thousands of species made extinct by humans.
I find it quite annoying and would rather it provide an accurate number. With no indicator, I’ve found I close less tabs. The icon also looks a lot like the Privacy icon on the tab browser.
I don't really have a notion of whether an actual AGI would have a desire to kill all humans. I do however think that one entity seeking to create another entity that it can control, yet is more intelligent than it, seems arbitrarily challenging in the long run.

I think having a moratorium on AI development will be impossible to enforce, and as you stretch the timeline out, these negative outcomes become increasingly likely as the technical barriers to entry continue to fall.

I've personally assumed this for thirty years, the only difference now is that the timeline seems to be accelerating.
There were already quite inflated for at least half a year or so prior to the war.
A fully remote position will be filled by the qualified person willing to work for the lowest wages. You'll be competing with the hundreds of thousands of great developers in Spain, or the hundreds of great developers in Botswana, or perhaps the lone great developer working in Vanuatu.

If things get that bad, the only currency will be canned food and ammunition.
Well, EU was never dependent on Russian oil. Oil is a commodity. A large international market for it exists and it is cheap to transport, and sufficient import throughput was always possible. So there was no dependence: at no point Putin could say, "do X or else we will cut your oil supply" - that won't have any effect, they'd just buy oil elsewhere (heating market up considerably yes, but entire world market in which Russia doesn't have such a high share, equally). Russian choice would be to either sell it's oil to someone else instead, resulting in no effective change and no pressure applied to Europe at all, or not sell it to anyone and ruin his country, but having everyone else pay probably, double or triple the price to Arabs/USA for the oil they import.

What changed now is that he has to sell that oil to others at a steep discount leaving him almost no profit, with the middlemen making all that profit instead - which is OK.

But, EU statement mainly referred to gas, not oil. With gas, situation is a lot clearer - Russia simply stopped producing the gas EU stopped buying, because they can't technically sell it elsewhere, and EU buys it mainly from USA. It took almost a year for market to readjust but now the prices are same as they used to be before all these events.
dreading having to support 2 pairs of retirees on my income in a few years. my wife's and my parents. Neither of them have any savings and are counting on their only child to come through. I've been maxing out my 401k last decade but we don't own any assets rent our home ( We entered our 40s :/ ).
I'm not suggesting the human or AI copies code. I'm talking about learning from the code that we read. There's a minimum sane syntax for every solution. At some point, you'll get what appears to be duplicates, but it's really just the fundamental logic of the problem being written down. Reading/writing more code, learning how to code, means you get better and identifying and writing that minimal logic.

I guess my question is, where does learning end and copying begin? And, does this apply the same for humans and AI?
Compiling native application to operating systems that Wasmer is compiled for including the browser and have the code seamlessly work in all of them, I think that's really promising.

JVM forces you to write in Java or a JVM targeted language but WASM lets you compile any language that creates a WASM backend.
Of course not, and the bar isn't arbitrary. That you ask this tells me that I was insufficiently clear as to my stance. My stance is that programmers should understand how to write programs, not just copy/paste them together.
> Sounds a lot like java to me; byte code, runtime, “cross platform binaries”, write once, run anywhere…

100%

WASM is "Java byte code for the 21st century."

> How is this meaningfully different?

It's lower level, making it a lighter, more flexible target platform for a variety of languages.

No classes, typing, GC (yet), required runtime, etc.

Whereas Java byte code is really only meant for Java (and variants -- Groovy, Clojure, Scala, Kotlin)
Sounds like your notebook is also really, really crabby.
They are what she researches though. She has published research on them.

LLMs don't directly use concepts from linguistics but they do produce and model language/grammar; it's entirely valid to use techniques from those fields to evaluate them, which is what she does. In the same vein, though a self-driving car doesn't work the same way as a human driver does, we can measure their performance on similar tasks.
I've come to the opposite conclusion, that taking heavy industry off planet is a godsend, because it allows capitalism's stagnating growth curve, fuelled by resource extraction with no regard to externalities, to plausibly continue indefinitely, with no environmental consequences - and the wealth poured back onto earth.
Ah, I guess you're referring to how they're pushing frameworks over bundlers?

> If you want to build a new app or a new website fully with React, we recommend picking one of the React-powered frameworks popular in the community. Frameworks provide features that most apps and sites eventually need, including routing, data fetching, and generating HTML.

> Grab react and react-dom from npm, set up your custom build process with a bundler like Vite or Parcel, and add other tools as you need them for routing, static generation or server-side rendering, and more.

What constitutes strong evidence? The obvious counter to your point is that an intelligence explosion would leave you with no time to react.
> Where would the biproducts (dirt) go?

On the website, they suggest that these byproducts, i.e. waste, could effectively be dumped into space, where the solar winds would carry it out to the asteroid belt.

I have no expertise to determine if this would ever be viable, but seems like they do at least answer this particular question of yours.
Similar situation here. If it's a personal email I'll reply and explain I'm not who they think I am.

If it's a business email I'll unsubscribe. Doesn't seem to be much I can do about it, it's multiple people who do this so I want to ask them what they think their email address is.
No, GPL is the product of the existing hacker culture. Thousands of people were involved in the early FOSS movement.
Agreed. It's difficult for me to see how the regulatory capture arguments apply to Geoffrey Hinton and Yoshua Bengio (!!).

Both of them are criticizing their own life's work and the source of their prestige. That has to be emotionally painful. They aren't doing it for fun.

I totally understand not agreeing with AI x-risk concerns on an object level, but I find the casual dismissal bizarre.
As they none-too-delicately state in the same blurb: "We are hiring worldwide."

So clearly that's what they're aiming for.
Okay pardon my far-from-perfect use of English after a day of sleep deprivation.

That's the median. It's like saying the median salary for software engineers in US is $120K/year (which is "true" if you Google it)... but then all the Silicon Valley engineers would say "whaaaat? Here the juniors can easily earn $200K/year their first year!"... So, yeah in Europe you can earn as little or as much as everywhere else (of course, Silicon Valley is still the place to earn top money)
And it may be on another device or the car itself so the Lyft app still stays open.
No. Its pretty obvious what is happening. The openai statements are pure self interest based. Nothing ethical. They lost that not a long time ago. And Sam Altman? He sold his soul to the devil. He is a lying sob.
There are many relevant things that already exist in the physical world and are not currently considered dangers: ecommerce, digital payments, doordash-style delivery, cross-border remittances, remote gig work, social media fanning extreme political views, event organizing.

However, these are constituent elements that could be aggregated and weaponized by a maleficent AI.
AI Academics have significant motivation as well to attempt to stop this new field of research.

That motivation being that all their current research fiefdoms are now outdated/worthless.
The bug is in the classifier in that I would want a high accuracy in classifying. I doubt this is the only error it makes, just the most visible. So google isn’t prioritizing accurately classifying black people, just they hard coded to never classify gorillas. Presumably because their classifier is still wrong enough that it would think black people are not people.

If they cared about this problem rather than just thinking it’s a “beehive” to be avoided rather than a real problem, then they would fix it. But they don’t actually care about accuracy in classifying people of some races, so they just avoid it.

Not super racist, but definitely shows they don’t care about this type of bug in that the affected populations aren’t important to them. I understand not caring about gorillas, but I would expect they should be very interested in accurately classifying black people.

> Each one costs $250k-$300k to raise 0-18 (per Brookings) without accounting for daycare, private school, or college.

$250k / 18 years / 12 months a year = $1,150/mo on average to feed + clothe a child, take it on vacation, put it in sports, buy it school supplies, and take it to the doctor, deal with a broken arm, birthday presents, tutoring, etc.

About $265/week. Breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks. Call it 3 meals a day. $37.95/day to raise a kid. $12.65/meal 3 times a day for 18 years. (that's 100% of the budget for food, obviously unrealistic). 80% of the budget is $10/meal 7 days a week before inflation.
Let's break up this company then. Too big.
Totally in agreement. The Thin Red Line is possibly my favorite film of all time, while I hated The Tree of Life; except for that awesome creation segment. And I also loved A Hidden Life.
Further the financial stress almost always passes to the children in one form or the other. The kids through no choice of their own may get stuck with a big bag of guilt, anger, apathy, insecurity, and more.

This is why public institutions are so important. This is why studying the real impact of socio-economic disparities on an individuals pursuit of happiness is so important.
Now if we only could get rid of USA and dollar as well. For truly independent and free Europe. The actions on SWIFT system proved that they cannot be trusted as reliable partners.

The way they made it sound seemed like they built a new solution for the maps. Them using OSM over Google Maps doesn't seem like it is too much of a big deal due to Lyft's limited presence.
Adding friction with time-based bandwidth choking/restrictions I included as a feature when creating SocialsDetox, albeit this was primarily intended for video-based sites/apps - to increase frustration with them (poor user experience) rather than outright blocking. If you think it would help, and are happy to be a tester for expanding the functionality to other infinity apps/sites (e.g. Reddit), drop me an email (link in profile) and I'll look to get something setup to see if it works for you/your intended use case.
I agree, and I think Intel has had a hard time reconciling their potential against reality.

It feels like they're gun shy after the continuous AMD and Apple Silicon advances, afraid to commit in case someone else is on the cusp of a breakthrough that invalidates entire product lines.

While they were quick to put out a pytorch extension, they weren't prepared with OneAPI, OpenVINO, or hardware lineups to take advantage of the AGI whirlwind. Ironic, since so many researchers learned using Intel resources. Even ROCm is seeing more growth and use.

I'm a little embarrassed, but I built a system around 13th gen for GAN and AGI work using the above Intel technologies last year, then immediately went out and bought an RTX 3090 and moved back to Threadripper. I just spent $90k building a research lab for AGI around Nvidia technologies instead of Intel. I don't particularly love their business history, but this feels like such a missed opportunity for them.
Statistically I think you have a better chance by taking a market rate job and then spending the difference on actual lottery tickets.
I was wondering this as well.

My best guess is that they're using some kind of WebSocket proxy server; that's how Emscripten does it: https://emscripten.org/docs/porting/networking.html

Elon Musk’s Twitter algorithm changes are ‘amplifying anger’, say researchers
hanges in Twitter’s algorithms show users are being shown far more tweets that amplify anger and animosity than before, since Elon Musk took over the social network, according to US researchers.

A new study by computer scientists at Cornell University and University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley) published on Friday (May 26) looked at tweets being shown to 806 users in February, comparing the content shown on Twitter’s “For You” personalised timelines, as well as the chronological newsfeed.
Not to downplay any of your points, but as a counterpoint, I'm not sure this was true for Vim/Neovim. Perhaps I'm only looking at short-term gains though and not long-term fragmentation
That risk isn't about AI-as-AI. That risk is about AI-as-better-persuasive-nonsense-generator. But the same risk is there for any better-persuasive-nonsense-generator, completely independent from whether it's an AI.

It's the most persuasive actual risk I've seen so far, but it's not an AI-specific risk.
There is no way to argue against this kind of speculation.

Commenter 1: System X is evil!

Commenter 2: Actually, here is how system X works: (Demonstrates it does not work how Commenter 1 thinks it works)

Commenter 3: Well that's fine, until they change X to be evil!

I mean, sure, when X becomes evil, then we can say X is evil. But not until then. If your argument is that all systems eventually become evil, that may be true, but it's a different discussion.
Long time ago, many jobs ago, the whole company was on Skype. We (the ops team) just set up an IRC server on one of the boxes.

(The box was also useful for a lot of other things, like an Openarena server. We tend to play StarCraft 2 these days though.)
I suppose, but this hasn’t stopped us from doing this with roads, so I don’t see why we don’t do it with trains.
The big difference is that in a cashless society where everyone is on the same digital banking system, an abusive leader can delete large minorities of people from participation in the system with the stroke of a key. If they wanted to do that today, it would require a much larger commitment of resources that's going to be harder to justify and execute on, and more easily fought against.

Many of the arguments for privacy focused technologies is not that it should be impossible for the government to infiltrate or disrupt your life, but that it should be somewhat impossible for the government to infiltrate or disrupt millions of people's lives for the tiny cost of some compute cycles. The former is necessary for law enforcement. The latter is a recipe for genocide.
Good thing they’ll have a bunch of well educated and religious kids to help them.
As the pre-amble to the statement says: they kept the statement limited and succinct as there may be disagreement between the signatories about the exact nature of the risk and what to do about it.

My bet for next-gen frontend tech is on svelte and SolidJS. They are faster, lighter and their tooling scene isn't as fragmented.
>EU traded off massive inflation

Single digit inflation with a pandemic, supply chain disruptions a war and an energy crisis is a lot of things but hardly massive. Given the horror stories that we were promised by defenders of the status quo this is a joke, and I say that as a German citizen who had to absorb a few nasty electricity bills.

If this is all it takes to wean ourselves off autocratic blackmail we have a lot to be ashamed off for the years where we pretended this would impoverish us and we'd freeze to death. Turns out that has a lot more to do with our ex-chancellor sitting on a Gazprom board than reality.
Every thread about WASM is "this is just JVM".

No it's not. If you want to know how it's meaningfully different - go look look high level overview of JVM and WASM - and if you still don't get it - then you're probably not the target audience for either and you should just be using whatever the tool stack it's targeting them.

A bus and a cargo truck are not the same just because they have similar wheel base/size and abstractly do the same thing.
You're still just blowing past "the JS community".

To fill you in on the context of the thread you inserted yourself into, classes have fallen out of favour _in JS_. It's pointless to say "but they're still used in other languages!" because we're not talking about other languages, we're talking about JS.
IDK if you can't help yourself, uninstall the browser. Or get a dumb phone. You'll have to exercise some self-control one way or the other.
I love Solid. In the last month or so I went from curious to fairly certain I’d prefer to work with it over React.

I’d used it before to trial it and explore differences, but never actually built something. I used it with XState (state charts) to build a version of Minesweeper which uses the receptionist pattern to orchestrate actors, which was pleasantly unnecessary, and I really loved it.

Although I have around 8 years of experience with React, Solid somehow made the process easier in some regards. React — despite being excellent in many ways — has a few sneaky foot guns that I still manage to wander into when trying new tools and patterns. Solid on the other hand was quite friendly. Ironing out anticipated performance issues was mostly an idea and never became necessary. In React I did need to tidy up some redundant renders and fix state synchronization due to out of sync effects.

I’m currently job searching and totally wouldn’t hesitate to work with a team that uses Solid. But, React is good too. At the end of the day I just love making things people enjoy using.
Right, and if someone can join the two, that could be something genuinely formidable. But does anyone have a credible path to joining the different flavors to produce a unity that actually works?
Or a fancy title to pad your resume with. Or perhaps reasonably legitimate experience, actually, that can't be had in your current day job or ever could be.
> I don't see a problem with showing mocked up screenshots of an app you haven't built yet, which is what I think of as fake it till you make it.

That isn't at all what I think of when I hear the term "fake it 'till you make it". To me, the phrase means "pretend like you have a functional and complete product until the day arrives that you actually do."

"Fake it 'till you make it", along with "move fast and break things", are (to me) indicative of the decline of our industry. Both of those used to mean very narrow (and correct) understandings. But they've been generalized to the point of malignancy.
That's insane to think about. Extrapolating down to 0% brightness means the actual compute required to manage the network connection and decrypt and render the video, plus anything the OS is doing in the background happens in maybe 2 watts?! With 2 watts you could power a fairly dim LED lightbulb or perform the equivalent of thousands(?) of man hours of hand computations.

Those languages are very much designed around the JVM though. You
have Scala, but not eg: C++, because the JVM itself is much higher level than what many languages would want to target.
