>It is interesting how 8 years later nearly the same line of thinking took hold in the West (albeit with claim of injected mind control chips) amid anti-vaxxers.

That line of thinking always existed in the West, among the "Mark of the Beast" set. The interesting thing is the degree to which it, and conspiratorial politics in general, became so normalized in such a short time. Also how the anti-vax movement switched from a generally leftist ideology to being captured by right-wing identity politics.

in both of your examples it's still undoubtedly better to be educated on the topic. A person with medical or legal knowledge can advocate on their own behalf.

So, swinging this metaphor back to where it came from -- yes, it's not unsurprising that ignorance is the norm, but we must advocate for great enough personal education so as to empower the non-professionals. Bug-reporting is ultimately a user-empowering experience, designed to facilitate the user and make their tools better. This improvement feedback loop isn't developer-only, nor can it ever be; thus all of the reporting tools that are now common-place for the users.

Sounds like the difference is whether it's about platform-specific issues.

Let us also hope they do a git diff before pushing changes.
i think he just means the example code defines components, but doesnt have a entity modification code with queries and stuff.

im pretty used to existing ecs libs and they all let you add entities as collections of components and do queries. without that, this is just a collection of structs
I'm not sure why there's so much hostility to this comment here.

SetApp is actually a pretty good deal for developers because it creates a recurring revenue stream for low effort, and if you use a lot of the apps available on SetApp, it's a decent deal for the users too.

Unfortunately, paying a low one time price for a lifetime license for software is completely unsustainable. It leaves developers with effectively 2 options if they want to continue to receive revenue: subscriptions or major version upgrades released periodically.

On this website people both hate carbon sequestration from atmosphere and are worried that the planet is heading to the worst projected path by 2100 simultaneously. I have zero hopes for humanity by now, but observing this bipolar split is amusing. Sad, but amusing.
Briefly, but I realized that the creative satisfaction of the whole thing came from being able to do everything myself, so giving that up would have made it pointless to me. I feel bad about it because it's definitely a bit of a narcissistic take (praise me, for I can do it all!), but the truth is that I was also discouraged by the mistakes I made in the research process, and how mean some of the commenters who pointed them out were.

I started to get a lot of anxiety about the whole process, and realized that I would have had to put even more effort into it ok top of my full time job, which further cemented my choice to just run away from it. I periodically feel really bad about it. Hopefully some day I'll win the lottery and I'll be able to make another episode. I actually have the script for episode 3 all done: I wrote it on parental leave, but that also didn't last forever!
Well, humans aren't machines. Why would a definition of AGI need to apply to humans? On the other hand, as we gain the ability to edit our DNA, I think recursive self-improvement over generations is on the table for our species.

I guess it would be useful to have a definition of weak AGI, but after reading Bostrom's Superintelligence, I struggle to imagine an AGI without a singularity or intelligence explosion. It seems like wishful thinking.

I don't find "was disputed" conclusive there. The trehalose stuff got into ice cream, then C. Diff. became a widespread problem. They took it out of most of them, and C. Diff died back down.
when my dad had cancer he took chemo that needed him to in the hospital for a week at a time. one of those stays he got a c diff infection. the c diff almost killed him. it was really bad, he didn’t leave the hospital for a month. and from what we heard, this wasn’t that rare. especially for chemo patients with low immunity
Humans are set up I think to intuitively understand 3d space as it's what we run around and try to survive in. Language models on the other hand are set up to understand language which humans can do also but I think with a different part of the brain. There probably is no reason why you couldn't set up a model to understand 3d space - I guess they do that a bit with self driving. A lot of animals like cats and squirrels are pretty good with 3d space also but less so with language.

I barely recall an internet discussion where people were concerned about "super bugs" coming about from using alcohol to disinfect -- "will this not create a resistance in them by using the one tool we know works to kill bacteria" they inquired.

I recall a researcher saying it would be like humans becoming resistant to nuclear explosions. It just simply won't happen and yet here we are.

Whoa. You are overestimating the American military capacity by a lot.

There are regionally used strong currencies like the Euro. Us Euros mostly do our internal trade in, well, Euros, without being bombed or even sanctioned. That is quite a lot of trade.

Aside from the Euro, there isn't much of a competition in the international arena. China wants to control the renminbi tightly, which precludes its wider adoption as a reserve currency. UK is a shadow of its former imperial self, and so is the pound. The Japanese economy is too weak for the yen to be a serious competitor.

And with currencies like the rupee, you will find that few people outside India are willing to trust them. Russians now sell a lot of oil to India for rupees (and note that there does not seem to be any initiative to bomb India for engaging in this trade), but then are basically forced to use those same rupees to buy stuff from India again, and Indian exports aren't a great match for Russian economic needs.
The first two, at least, are already within reach of anyone with sufficient budget.

I doubt that there's any entity that's rich enough and wants nukes that doesn't already have them. Even international pariahs like North Korea have them.

AFA the second one goes, high school kids are doing genetic engineering in class these days.

> The right to privacy isn’t just for dorks who practice keyring bonsai.

I never said anything contrary to that.

I know that normal people are part of the intended audience - I'm interested in whether you think that Signal's target audience includes or excludes "keyring bonsai" users (which, admittedly, is an amusing and not entirely inaccurate way of describing much of the security community).

If it includes those users - then why Signal couldn't have been designed such that use of phone numbers for identification are optional (but the default)?
IMO the root cause is that the fingerprint sensor is a black box and just sends an "OK" to the OS. So you have to take extra care to authenticate the sensor or you are open to attacks like this. The developers were trying to be extra clever and to make sure the OS never sees the fingerprint. I think I would have prefered the KISS solution of the sensor sending the fingerprint (or maybe just a digest) to the OS and have the OS compare.

I'll take a solution that is in principle a bit less secure, but easier to understand, write drivers for, and not a cryptographic lockdownfest, over a solution that is theoretically safer but fails when not implemented 100% correctly.
> Why would we teach kids maths then, when they can use a calculator? It's much easier and faster for them.

I am five years older than my brother, and we happened to land just on opposite sides of when children were still being taught mental arithmetic and when it was assumed they would, in fact, have calculators in their pockets.

It drives him crazy that I can do basic day-to-day arithmetic in my head faster than he can get out his calculator to do it. He feels like he really did get cheated out of something useful because of the proliferation of technology.

The USB Cart of Death: Plug and Pray [video]
The remarks about "junk in my body" is a huge red flag. That's blatantly unprofessional.
The idea is to link a thin client library into the user’s code.

Then the thick client is controlled server side by the devs.

If you design the thin and thick client intelligently, you can make a lot of changes to the system by merely modifying the thick client (which you control), without needing to update the thin client.

Problems tends to come in a few flavors, namely that this increases complexity and that some changes will always require modifying the thin client.

The biggest pitfall, though, is that you have to actually put thought into the thin client design. “Thin” is an emergent property of a well thought out client. You can’t just “touch thin_client.java” and think because you named it “thin” that it’s inherently decoupled from the service. You have to actually put thought into it.

Your example is exactly right. The service can support either v1 or v2 depending on the version of the thin client.

The main other technique is to have the thin client communicate in a relatively abstract and generic manner. For instead a “write()” endpoint that accepts an “options” dictionary.

“write()” is so generic that it probably won’t have to change, and changes in behavior can be modified by shoving stuff into dict, perhaps with a “version” field to instruct the server how to interpret the call.

When you add a new feature, you can bump the thin client to v2 and shove new options in the dict. Then the server can support v1 and v2. But also, you can modify the server to handle v1 differently. E.g the absence of a “disable_new_feature” key automatically opts v1 callers into the new feature.

I think the details are are really coupled into what you are engineering and what you want to roll out. There’s no magic bullet, and this increases the complexity of your code. Good engineering in my opinion is deciding when these approaches are worth it and how they should be implemented.
Those aren't "either or" things. Usually services are exposed through libraries. And a library requires a service if it has a canonical or centralized storage or processing, which can't be done locally.

Now, sure, we do stupid things as services, for sure. But people often do it to monetize the service, or control the users. And so that'll never change.

I recall someone making an "async HTML5 AJAX blink service" as a joke for this trend.

I am afraid you have not read the report and hence have the wrong impression. It is well written, timely and worth a full read. This is the first time i see a complete picture of policy implications of AI safety/non-safety in one reputed report rather than in uninformed articles/blogs.

First off, it is published by CSET whose mission is to look at "security implications of emerging technologies" and "to inform research at the intersection of technology and statecraft." (https://cset.georgetown.edu/about-us/) So the focus on Military/Geopolitics/Strategy is mandatory and natural.

The term "Costly Signal" is well known and used in Game Theory/International Relations/etc. fields (eg. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yfVTKG8O2bI&list=PLB5965C13F...) and thus has different aspects to its usage. The origin of the specific four used by the authors in the report is given by the very first citation in the "Endnotes" section.

The paper is titled "Decoding Intentions Artificial Intelligence and Costly Signals" and thus 1) the importance of figuring out the intention behind a signal that is being received and 2) the importance of clearly and accurately conveying intention on the sending side is what is being emphasized by the example of "Cuban Missile Crisis", and not that AI safety is of the same category as the "Cuban Missile Crisis".

In summary, everybody needs to read this report in entirety to really "grok" the importance and implications of "AI policy making".
I would disagree. Windows users care about the bugs, but not about reporting them. How many times do I see reviews on steam like "great game but too many bug / game breaking bug X" so 2/10.

Most users just experience the bugs, get mad about the game and move on. Being able to fix the bugs fast and early means less users will experience them in the long run, which in turns means a better gaming experience and very likely better player retention and higher review/player attraction
Well, one person will usually add a tiny bit of detail to the "truth". It's still a collective task.
