You're falling into the trap that one specifically constructed case of a less intelligent being not being in control of the more intelligent being somehow clearly argues the less intelligent can fight back and things will always be OK.

It's like arguing that humans with all their intelligence are still useless in controlling the situation when confronted with a Tiger in the wild. So clearly the tigers should relax and stop thinking about human-alignment. Tigers can always just switch off the smart humans if they were to try something. The part where this falls apart is "always."

It is terrifying to think that we might one day be puppies to AI as puppies are to us. It is not reassuring at all that we might be able to make things harder for the AI in question every now and again by nibbling at them.

Same goes for the Emu war. I'd like to not be the Emu one day to AI. Even if the AI struggles completely and hilariously to control me, there's a huge power differential here. I'd much rather be the human failing to kill Emus and face my own embarrassment than the Emu going guerilla-style fighting for their life.

I don't get why so few have pointed out why these specific arguments for "don't sweat AGI risk" are so weak.
It did not. In one case it had the number of dislikes correct, but the other cases showed it out by up to 50% - and these were videos that had dislikes registered before youtube disappeared them.

Tesla could face a $3.3B fine over a data leak
Someone was invited to speak as a keynote speaker by the rust team. They worked with the Rust team on the presentation, and seem to have been actively encouraged to do so. Shortly after, they were told by the conference operator that they were being downgraded to a regular speaker, and they blogged their thoughts on why they were asked, and decided to (publicly) pull out of speaking at all. Then a member of the rust leadership team said that a subgroup of the leadership team made the call to remove the speaker from the keynote, and as such this member resigned.

That's my best attempt
And it's not hard for Hawking's hired aides and nurses (who of course existed) to do so, either. As an able-bodied person whose cat very much does not want to go into the cat carrier, it's not that hard, if you use your brains. You feed them a little gabapentin, whose existence they cannot even comprehend (and you know they don't know because you have used your mind to model the cat's behavior like 'do cats understand drugs' or 'do cats like eating treats'), and when they are drugged, you put them in the cat carrier. Done.

Turns out, 'brains' are useful for things like 'inventing and manufacturing drugs'.

Does the YouTube app really download the video again each time you play it? I have noticed that downloaded videos always play in full quality. (In fact, that's the main reason I use downloads: play a short, stop it, go to history, download the short, then play it again. Because shorts have no quality control option, and also no download option except from the watch history. Shorts have a very weird and annoying UI. It's also impossible to add them to a playlist.)
> without a clear statement of what happened from the decision makers, people can speculate

People can always speculate whatever they want. And let's be honest, the kind of people who like making utterly baseless claims about racism will do so regardless of any official statements or explanations. Unless there's actual evidence of racial animus it's best to just ignore these silly people.

> The recent incident with ThePHD’s keynote downgrade was not racially motivated, thankfully, but… if that’s what it looks like from the outside, and any form of official communication is still days or weeks away, does it really make a difference?

who actually perceives this situation this way? why would anyone perceive this situation this way, by default? this statement is needlessly inflammatory to a ridiculous degree—why would anyone assume overt anti-black bigotry as being the cause for any decision in any professional circle, in this year of our Lord Twenty Twenty-Three? why pour fuel on the fire like this?

this is yet another major red flag that indicates that I should stay far away from this "community"—there's clearly motivations and frames of thought at play here that don't mirror my perception of the real world in a very concerning way.

It’s a single file web application engine, and more, in an executable you can run on several OSes and I think even bare metal, but it’s been a while since I looked at it so it’s probably even more awesome today.
I understand the need for professionals, but what grates me is seeing the leaders of these organizations renting expensive venues to conduct some of their activities, sometimes display expensive art and so on. As if they need to impress their donors. No, donors already believe in the cause, they don't have to be plied, taken to expensive restaurants, served luxurious food, etc. in order to get their commitments. They should believe in the mission, run frugally and most of all divert the majority of the money to the cause.

I often hear, well, if you don't pay them top salary you are not going to attract people from private enterprise. I don't think you want people whose main motivation to contribute is money.
No, because in the youtube case it doesn’t actually suppress it. It was an extra bit of information that you could use to determine if a video was likely misleading.

I sense too much bureaucracy and micromanagement. I would typically expect that from 25+ year old languages. A technology as young as Rust shouldn't be riddled with drama.

Pessimistically, with the planet we currently have, not all 10 billion can live decently, and the minority who control the weapons would probably rather resort to violence rather than share things equally (just look at the borders of the EU and USA - and yeah even left-leaning governments are probably "helpless", they know if they let in too many refugees, they'll be voted out of office as soon as possible).

I am surprised how people pretend to be outraged over a fork of an open source language.

They are outraged by the fork because having a fork reach thousand stars so quickly made it harder to ignore the reality that people who love the language were fed up with the leadership.

Forking is the essence of open source software. Don't like something somebody else is doing with a software? It's open source, so you do it your way.

Also, please allow the crablang people to waste their time the way they want to. Some people watch Netflix, some people will create a fork and learn more about the project. They don't need anyone's permission or approval.
I used to love going to the Game Developers Conference (and I probably still would if not for costs), but I have found that I can get just as much out of youtube outside of networking.
Slightly OT but related: one of the problems with identifiers that I have come to accept is that the things underlying the identifiers change over time. Things come and go, businesses launch and fail or are acquired/absorbed into other businesses, humans are born and die, humans change their names or genders, people buy and sell and subdivide or combine real property, people paint things different colors- the only constant is change. And it generally wreaks havoc because people who thought up identifiers for things usually assumed immutability of a mutable thing, and often don't have workable procedures for keeping up with change.

I've come to the conclusion that identifiers should be structured in such a way that they have no relationship to what they identify - for instance, never ever ever use a name as an identifier, no matter how you normalize it. All properties of things should be mutable descriptors. Identifiers should be numeric-ish. Identifiers are not user interface, either - don't try to format them for readability - the audience for identifiers should be automation, not humans. You should give humans a way to serialize them, such as a URL or UUID or whatever, but the point is just to port the thing unambiguously between systems, not to be human readable. You can build UX that looks up the ID and shows you what the descriptive properties are.
Possibly controversial take, but I don’t think it’s helpful to gossip about who the bad apples are. Either take a risk and name names, or wait until the dust settles.
TBH I am not familiar with today's Midjourney, but I am thinking of things like face restoration, tiled VAEs for better high res generation, and self attention.

But many tools (like controlnet, or using images as input) require more manual control.

It's the same 'for' in the title that I don't understand in the 'Windows subsystem for Linux'. English is not my native language but it is only recently that I started to notice this usage of for. Has it always been used like this?

Why? 0 based indexing came from a time where you used memory addresses directly to index into arrays. Today, we don’t do that, so 1 based indexing seems extremely reasonable. Besides, with Lua you can still do 0 based indexing with a small personal extension function.

> Also apparently emotionally intelligent and making the right moves here.

One thing I really appreciate about Amos is that he spent a long time reflecting on the kind of person that he would like to be. If you look at his content from over 5 years ago, when he created his own programming language seemingly out of spite, you can see how much he has grown. It's very impressive and I wish him every success.
In principle I can agree that Rust (like so many things in tech) is a bit of a sausage fest, and that women can, in my experience, often be better leaders than men especially when it comes to emotional/communication matters like with this whole mess.

The wording "real woman" however immediately smells like an attempt to exclude trans women, of whom there are quite a few in the Rust community - even if that wasn't your intention at all, it might explain at least some of the downvotes though.
Well, I already said it :P RK3588's NPU can only do convolutions and a small list of activation functions. Realistically it's usable only on image (2D, 3D data). The software side is pretty weird: It's amazing the amount of models they support despite the limited fixed-hardware function, but there has been literally 0 development in the last 6 months and it does have a lot of bugs that doesn't seem hard to fix. Even when it comes to images, it doesn't support changing the resolution of the input (you need to ""recompile the model"" for that), which is super weird since hardware pipeline doesn't care much about the size.

Anyway, I really don't recommend it, unless you're making your own model, you know before-hand what's supported and what isn't, and your input is fixed resolution (which is a pretty fair usage in an embedded system) (fixed = doesn't change at every frame. handling hotplug from one webcam with a resolution to another with another resolution is fine)

I think looking at the examples give you a reasonable show of what it can do: https://github.com/rockchip-linux/rknn-toolkit/tree/master/e...
It's mobilenet, yolov3, resnet50. There aren't more examples because they didn't had more examples. There aren't more examples because that's pretty much all you can reasonably run.

As far as I can tell, modern image models using transformer/vit won't be runnable on it. (it acts enough as a coprocessor that it's possible to do some parts in CPU some parts in NPU - and Rockchip framework handles that -, so maybe it's somehow possible)

(Note: I say this as a huge Rockchip lover, their mainline support is top-notch, they make very durable product (their 2015's RK3288 is still far from obsolete), and I bought a RK3588 SBC to play with a NPU accelerator (whose full specification is publicly available btw), in the hope to have a self-hosted LLM voice assistant)
>>> "It's a modern invention by the same sorts of people who assert that only white Americans had slaves, and other historical re-interpretations designed to extract concessions from rich westerners."

Are you serious? You think, Americans who believe chattel slavery in the US was one of the foremost abominations in human history is trying to extract monetary concessions from rich people? That is some seriously twisted thinking from your part.

The legacy of slavery and Jim Crow is unparalleled, legacy of that is hurting people even to this day, trying lessen the impact of slavery in the US is offensive.
I don't complain. And as soon as someone figures out other thing than corruption profits that will motivate people in power to get things done I'll be fully onboard.

I think that's the point. Drama in the C++ community is handled more professionally, in the Rust community it turns into temper tantrums.
So every person who has a southern accent is part of:

> I am talking about a group of people who share vile political goals

right?

So are you implying that they only gain the accent when they join this group or that having the accent makes them predisposed somehow to join it, or what?

What makes your diatribe (part II) even more mind-boggling is that this whole discussion is about people who chose to move to some other states. Which probably would make them less likely to support these “shitty ideologies”? That is unless you believe they are somehow predisposed to hold ’vile’ views because of where they were born?

> Guess it's a good thing I'm saying bad things about people with shitty ideologies.

Well you’re implying that any person who speaks with a southern accent is incapable of holding liberal/progressive(?) beliefs? Or that anybody born in “the south” is regardless pf the accent? That everyone who doesn’t/isn’t is a somehow inherently superior human being? It’s hard to say.. either idea is pretty disturbing.

> you wanted to get mad at?

I’m not mad.. just a bit puzzled and surprised that you’re not sharing your thoughts on Reddit instead.
C++ and Java are huge. Drama or no drama simply stops to matter at that size. These languages are here to stay.

Golang is also becoming rather big, although doesn't make a big deal out of it imho, as the community is barely ever evangelizing about it. And so far, the only actual drama I am aware of, was the telemetry stuff, and that resolved itself nicely.
> Thankfully, it seems it may be coming to an end now since it’s disruptive and at odds with reality.

I hope you are right. I'm less optimistic.
I figured many people with your viewpoint would have a hard time criticizing people of color.
Didn't they change Go telemetry to be opt-in before the functionality was even released? So they heard their users. I would say that's a good thing.

edit: Yep, they announced their intentions and after consulting the community, they changed it to be opt-in instead. https://github.com/golang/go/issues/58894
>This is the kind of internecine conflict I should see in Anime discord servers

Anime/furry culture has a significant overlap with the Rust community as far as I can tell as an outsider. E.g. there was that guy developing a Linux GPU driver for M1 Macs, narrating it with an anime "waifu" avatar and a speech plugin that makes you sound like a little girl from a Japanese cartoon.

I tested it on various distros without hassle, both on x86 and ARM. It would probably be worth of porting to other languages too.

I think the chance of having an undecidable (group of) statements go up, but the chance of executing it does not.

There isn't really a single undecidable statement, it would be a complex subroutine. My intuition would be its much more likely a halt or indef loop (both relatively simple) would appear before program control would transfer to the undecidable part, in most cases.

I.e. if something undecidable requires 60 symbols in a row in correct order, but halting requires one, than probability of a halt at any given spot seems much higher on average.
It's also happened with operating systems: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DragonFly_BSD

> Dillon started DragonFly in the belief that the techniques adopted for threading and symmetric multiprocessing in FreeBSD 5 would lead to poor performance and maintenance problems. He sought to correct these anticipated problems within the FreeBSD project. Due to conflicts with other FreeBSD developers over the implementation of his ideas, his ability to directly change the codebase was eventually revoked.

code close to data is the real one; managed services for companies that fire a lot of devs is a cynical one; always-on security updates probably big too.

Yes, calling out someone for reporting on drama, as though the drama isn't a problem, it's your fault for gawking at it, is a strange choice. I think it's not unrelated to the ego-centric nature of these Rust drama events.
I mean choosing a partner to mate with partially based on emotional grounds has (over the course of evolution) turned us into who we are. Of course, practicing stoicism will change how we think and how we select our partners, and thus will affect our offspring, and thus who we are (after sufficient number of generations).

Something you can try for yourself with GPT-4 (it didn’t work with 3.5): get it to navigate around the streets of a city. I made up some street and avenue names and had it travel around from intersection to intersection. It did perfectly when making a loop around the block. It started making mistakes when I gave it more complex directions that most humans could follow but I was able to improve its ability back to 100% accuracy by asking it to list all the streets from east to west and then all the avenues from north to south, essentially drawing a map. After that I can give it very complicated directions only mentioning turns and number of blocks to drive and it will correctly tell me where it ends up.

This is pretty mind blowing to me and I have a high opinion of it in the first place.
