So, let me get this straight…

WASM is a language independent byte code that runs in browsers, like “assembly but for browsers” that multiple languages can compile to instead of there only being javascript.

…but that ran in a browser sandbox, and people wanted to use it in containers, so they invented WASI, which lets WASM assembly code interact with the base system, sidestepping the container of the browser; but it needs a runtime on the host system (not a browser) to run.

Now this is WASIX which added more non standard extensions to WASI so that more programs can run on it.

We had an entire full stack cross platform runtime (browsers) to run our code in, but instead we now need to get a new set of “low level” runtimes to run the same code for, eg. containers?

Sounds a lot like java to me; byte code, runtime, “cross platform binaries”, write once, run anywhere…

How is this meaningfully different?

The only remarkable difference appears to be you can target it with existing c++ code?
Understanding how couples integrate finances
Speech-to-text, text-to-speech and more for 1.1k+ languages
When it comes to how couples manage money, not everyone jumps to join their accounts. New research from the University of Georgia looked at demographic and personal factors that revealed what makes couples more or less likely to pool finances.
Also, the equipment either needs to be made to work in vacuum or have to maintain atmosphere for it.

Just to better understand, was it a "generic enough" Google Group name that people used its name in the policy thinking they were granting access to their own "google cloud administrators"? Or were people/companies actively part of that Google Group you created?
Fun times when it becomes common knowledge that to get attention if support isn’t working is to claim a security incident - and everyone starts doing it, hah.
I feel like there are 2 Reacts (at least 2 that I know of, if not more).

I learned jQuery long ago, then how to get most of what I wanted done via document.querySelector/etc instead since it was more "lightweight", then I learned React "class components" with render() and componentWillMount() and it was a big leap forward.

The "major breaking changes" (semantic versioning wise) to move components to functions (instead of implying it's just a class with render()) and then hooks on top, it almost invalidates most of what I learned about React initially. Which is fine. The community reserves the right to grow however they want. I was just surprised when I recently revisited it. The only common concept was basically JSX and "view/render state/props + actions on events".

I don't think many would agree to this but I'd argue the changes are so radical that they almost should've called this new React something entirely different. It would help. Saying "I know React/I have React experience" is basically in need of nuance like "I have React in 2018 experience, and 0 React in 2023 experience, therefore I don't actively/actually know current React best practices or how to even do a small TODO hello world list example".
good time for APTs though!
I think not.

I am seeing a lot of papers on arXiv where people do "prompt engineering" experiments, that is they set up maybe 1000 or 2000 sample problems, run them through the LLM, and see how it performs.

The results are usually sobering, frequently you find that the models get things right 70-80% of the time which is acceptable for a "chatbot" that is ultimately animated by the end user, but put it in a process where there are 10 steps that are 80% correct and you are talking about a process that works 10%. You can ask an LLM to "open the pod bay doors" but not expect it to fly the spacecraft to Jupiter.

The difference between organizations that apply ML successfully and those that don't comes down to two things: (i) luck, (ii) picking well-defined problems and developing appropriate training data. Luck comes in because once in a while you get handed an easy problem. If you don't have that you have to do the very difficult work of convincing management to invest in making a training set of 1000s if not 10,000s of examples. People are about as happy to see the ontologist as they are to see the oncologist because the ontologist makes them think rigorously and you will certainly have phone calls where you've figured it all out and then they call you back and they want to mess it up again and spend another few years pushing bubbles around under the rug. You've got to push back with tough love. People think the "new AI" eliminates the need for ontology but no, training is a "garbage in, garbage out" situation if your problem is not well defined you'll never get past a certain point in accuracy.

If you can master the black art of whipping real life problems into shape and the herding cats problems that get involved, that's a lot more valuable than being another statistic in the Kaggle leaderboard.
It says "not all", which I interpret as "some of it is not spent in the type checker". I'm also not sure the times Xcode displays in the screenshot are bound to be accurate.

A fun new one I experienced recently when having a minor surgery was having to sign paperwork saying I consented to the doctor ignoring any DNRs, when I asked about it they said it was because if something happened to me while I was in their care it would make their numbers look bad.

That's a very naive view of computer science. That is the attitude of people who have given up and decided that computers are too big for science now.
I guess I don't see what the actual workflow is supposed to be for a new team member who joins (potentially with a different computer than everyone else), checks out the code, and has dozens of errors when they first try to build.

I'm a huge fan of error'ing on warnings, but I really don't see it as appropriate for nondeterministic cases.
> They can’t point to an existing system that poses existential risk, because it doesn’t exist.

There are judges using automated decision systems to excuse away decisions that send people back to jail for recidivism purposes. These systems are just enforcing societal biases at scale. It is clear that we are ready to acquiesce control to AI systems without much care to any extra ethical considerations.
No, what a lot of people do want however, are small business affordable solutions.
Per the stylebooks of the New York Times, Reuters, the Associated Press, and others [1], whether one is an immigrant or minority is only pertinent in heartwarming stories such as this. Quoting directly from the New York Times Manual of Style and Usage, 2015 Edition [2]:

race should be cited only when it is pertinent and its pertinence is clear to the reader. The race of a victim of a hate crime or the subject of a police search is clearly germane, an essential part of the person’s description. But the race of a person convicted of a crime is not pertinent unless the case has racial overtones; if it does, the overtones should be explained.

> We have to start by assembling in space first

You need to solve the material-cost problem first. Either a space gun / elevator or ISRU. Otherwise, assembling on the ground is cheaper for everything but the most massive objects. (At which point a constellation or fleet usually makes more sense.)

> would allow to use well tested rockets to launch smaller parts instead of trying to build a huge rocket at once

Bigger rockets have moderate economies of scale. Optimising for a particular launch vehicle doesn’t make sense in the long run.
It will still be a human making the mistake of putting "AI" (machine learning, really) in a totally inappropriate place that will cause 'extinction'.

I'm mad too because, look six weeks ago. The FBI declared "radical-traditionalist Catholics" to be a potential enemy to infiltrate, develop tripwires for, and put under surveillance. Even more ridiculous was that it actually attempted to define the term by internal theological opinions (do they like the Vatican II council from 1965? Do they accept or reject the Pope?).

Now, one doesn't need to be a fan of far-right or "radical-traditionalist" Catholics to think that this is an absurdity. When is the last time you've heard of a Catholic bombing a plane? The memo itself had not one incident listed, but said that it was a preemptive action (literally no history of violence listed, but they could be!!). Merrick Garland announced after the leak that the memo was atrocious and would be deleted immediately and rushed to declare that the memo did not meet FBI standards and that the FBI would not investigate 1st-amendment protected activities - but nobody's going to face consequences.

And to top it all off, it used the SPLC (Southern Poverty Law Center) as a source and got away with it, even though the SPLC is blocked as a source in the FBI due to bias concerns. So it's OK to use blocked sources if it's the right motive. What the heck...

NGINX felt jarring coming from Apache. The cycle continues.

To be fair to NGINX, there is a lot of boilerplate config, but if you have a good set of default files, the server blocks can be small. The same could be said for Apache, of course. But yeah, Caddy is great in how little config it takes, no boilerplate, to do what the incumbents do.
Good day to be a Minnesota hacker.
I mostly agree - too vague, no substance.

Regulations are OK IMHO, as long as they're targeting monopolies and don't use a shotgun-approach targeting every single product that has "AI" in the name.
I just look at the market cap.
Excellent tip. A lighter form, that I use personally for Reddit, is to not sign in persistently. I always use a "private" browser window when I log in, so the cookie isn't saved, and the next time I want to log in I have to go dig the (unmemorizable) password out of my password manager again and go through the whole flow. For me it creates just enough friction.
I am not an expert in this space but dabble a bit. This comment is spot on. AMD's software is pretty bad and NVDA has captured all the developer attention with CUDA and is the basis for lot of the frameworks people use. It is not a trivial advantage to break. I do wish good luck to AMD.
Agreed, but that even affects software used in environments where the tradeoff between ease of onboarding and speed of use after that is not that clear.

Prosecutors can ask a grand jury of citizens to investigate and indict. Then the prosecutor is the attorney for the State doing the attorney stuff in court.

Grand juries are powerful, and thus can also go off the rails led by prosecutor manipulation.

Arguably in this sense their only competitors would be screwed even harder. The last non-TSMC GPU that AMD has released is based on GloFo 12nm/14nm, NVIDIA would actually be ahead with Samsung 8nm. Intel's only dGPUs are TSMC as well, they flatly don't have a product without TSMC.
The economy is strictly human. Humans have needs and trade to satisfy those needs. Without humans, there is no economy. AI will have a huge impact like the industrial revolutionary. But just the machines of the industrial revolutionary were useless without humans needing the goods produced by them, so too is AI pointless without humans needs to satisfy.
Threads and forking in the browser...

Reading the comments here (and the short article) /exactly/ reminded me of usenet and bitnet[feeds]. I am glad I kicked that habit in the late '80s/early '90s, it made it simple to avoid later social media.

+1 on doing a first aid course. It's a day or two, it's interesting, and it's a good thing that human beings should be prepared and willing to help one another.

I'm 41 and I've now twice encountered a situation where I should give first aid. The first time was a fatal collision between a bicyclist and a pedestrian, in an affluent suburb: there were actual doctors working on the pedestrian, so after checking an ambulance had been called, I left – no point in gawking.

But I was struck by how little I could have done to help if I'd encountered the accident by myself. So I took a first aid course as soon as I could.

A few years later I was cycling and came across a fellow rider who'd come off and landed on his head; he was just lying there in the path. It was amazing how the training kicked in – I checked for danger to myself, established he couldn't respond to me, established he was breathing, carefully put him in the recovery position, used my bike to wall him off a bit so nobody would ride over him, then went for help (I didn't have a phone on me, the one time I happened not to have it!)

The injured cyclist was fine in the end, he came around after a few minutes and it was then a matter of persuading him to wait until the ambulance folks arrived; he had no concept that he'd been out for multiple minutes, I think from his perspective it had only been a moment. I'm glad I was able to help though. So yeah, if you are able, do a first aid course.

Multiple onlyfans, or Aella Girl? Because if it's specifically her accounts, the algorithm is probably thinking you're a tech nerd.
Well, that's a different risk than human extinction. The statement here is about the literal end of the human race. AI being a big deal that could cause societal upheaval etc is one thing, "everyone is dead" is another thing entirely.

I think people would be a lot more charitable to calls for caution if these people were talking about sorts of risks instead of extinction.
Yeah, in the discussion about privacy, most of it centers on the social networks and the OS, but dishearteningly leaves out the cell carriers and the internet providers. I'm sure AT&T, Verizon, and Comcast, et. al. love this. They're flying under the radar, and I'm convinced that data is a lot of what organizations like the FBI are buying, so that Facebook and Twitter can claim they aren't giving them that data.
More like people just don't want to leave their life behind... Those listed things are like the bottom of the reasons

The statement should read:

Mitigating the risk of extinction from climate change should be a global priority alongside other societal-scale risks such as pandemics and nuclear war.

The fantasy of extinction risk from "AI" should not be placed alongside real, "societal scale" risks as the ones above.

Well. The ones above.

At this point it isn't just SpaceX's Starship, but in general the direction Artemis is heading in, since the secondary lander design (from Blue Origin, Lockheed Martin et al) that was recently chosen also uses in-space refueling and is designed with Lunar ISRU in mind.

Shelby finally retiring has been a great boon for NASA's human space exploration programs.

Also, technically the Lunar Gateway would fit your second point, considering that it's split into a separate habitation module and power+propulsion element.
I experienced similar frustration using Emscripten to ~port a simple C+SDL2+GLES2 game to wasm.

While it mostly worked, it wasn't a very polished environment and how well it worked depended greatly on which browser was used. And even in the best case there were still annoyances surrounding things like fullscreen handling.

It all echoed of 90s-era web development when we had to test every browser and kludge browser-specific exceptions due to incompatibilities. It's been over a decade since I cared about web stuff, so maybe this is just the way it still is in general and not just emscripten/wasm support.

Whatever the reason, it didn't inspire much confidence to rely on this pipeline for delivering native+web games to the masses in a single implementation.
I did a rough calculation and came up with a current value of $80bn for Nvidia's offer for Arm based on the current Nvidia share price. An expensive regulatory loss for Masa given Arm will probably float for a lot less.

Of course had the takeover gone ahead then its likely that Nvidia would be even more valuable - unless you take the view that Arm would have been a distraction for Nvidia.
Agreed that it'd be nice to have a less ethically-ambiguous alternative.

Since you seem to be pretty knowledgeable in this space, are you aware of any competitive FOSS engines and/or browsers built around those engines?
even if there's a perfectly reasonable & rational explanation for why classifiers like this make misclassifications like this, the fact that this sort of misclassification continues to be present is a widely used public facing model is racist. furthermore, attempts to dismiss the above as not being racist because "it's technical in nature" is also racist because it blatantly ignore the harm that comes from continuing to parrot a well know racial caricature
VR AR researcher here.

It is scary once you see what the actual VR research landscape looks like.....

There is a clear disconnect between users of vr and vr researchers.

I don't know even where to begin. Too much incompetence. Too much disinterest. Too much bullshit just to get grant money. And nobody has any clear idea of what VRs application should be.

So far even for me there are very few applications where vr gives an actual advantage for anything.

Take it situational awareness, overview, ux, visual quality etc. Most of the vr apps I have seen have no reason to be in vr.
> ICANN only runs the key generation ceremony which is scripted to prevent any single entity from tampering with the keys. ZSKs are generated a few months in advance and used by Verisign (the root zone maintainer) to sign the root zone. No one gets to see the private part of the KSK. So there is no way to compel ICANN to produce bad signatures.

Ok, well back to compelling Verisign. Certainly they are able to sign zones, although that authority flows from ICANN.

> Finally, glue records aren't signed!

If glue records aren't signed, then why wouldn't an adversary simply modify the glue records to omit the DNSSEC content? Maybe you're making a technical argument that the whole root zone is signed, not its individual components?
This is becoming sillier every day.

Smart people fear-mongering about "extinction" and "human-level intelligence". When looking at their site on AI risks, I see nothing of the like:

https://www.safe.ai/ai-risk

Instead, a lot of speculation. There is is also some promotional huff and puff about their own tools, including GPT-4, which, as is repeatedly shown, is not "human-level intelligence". Some are real (like misinformation, power accumulation, data poisoning, and lock-in), but these are hardly an "extinction".

A cynic might say that all this fear-mongering is more about marketing of their allegedly "super-human" tools.

I hear you about people offloading the work of their values being protected by another organization.

However I think that time has shown the following:

- The values of organizations can change rapidly within a human lifetime.
- It's possible that tomorrow you're actions in the past are seen as a problem for these organizations.

What I mean practically by these two remarks is that it can't be relied on for any organization to have your best interests at heart "tomorrow". So I believe that it's in the best interest of the user to always be the first line of defense for their data and privacy. With regards to the register, not sure it matters what way they swing for political affiliation if the end result is that the individual has control.
i imagine the people arguing are more about which humans to satisfy when the AI makes production of goods no longer constrained by labour.

Pretty straightforward. The current value of the company is the Net Present Value of all the future expected cash flows. Basically you can take the money Apple will make in 2024, 2025, 2026 ... and reduce them to today's values by discounting with the interest rates: pretty much divide by (1+r)^n. Since Apple already makes a ton of money each year it is valued pretty high. Nvidia on the other hand has to GROW its earnings a LOT to justify its valuations.
