I think we are kind of talking at cross purposes here. I agree with you (I think). It is ridiculous and completely artificial/socially constructed. At least that’s what it sounds like you are saying.

The issue is that it happens regardless of how dumb it is. Racism is dumb.
If the App Store is the only vehicle for selling mobile apps on Apple devices, then by virtue of their monopoly, they have a duty to be entirely transparent and fair. It’s entirely an Apple problem.

My experiences decades ago in a different domain (compilers), but with a simmilar lesson learned, was that the number of serious bugs in the product was inversely correlated with the number of people using the product. Niche cross-compiler for experimental microcontrollers had many bugs even in core features, wildly popular compiler for pc platforms might not be perfect, but typically has almost 0 bugs in common cases.
Gather Town was tackling this issue surprisingly well during COVID, but anytime I tried to convince people to use it they defaulted back to Zoom because Gather was too confusing. I think it would take a real paradigm shift from the "call with video" model to get decent adoption of something like that, and now that it's so expensive to use Gather I don't see how they can get enough exposure to really convince the public at large.

At the risk of sounding like I’m trying to “defend Rust with whatever it takes”, your argument seems bizarre to me.

Even at the surface, if your desired solution is so antithetical to the type of structure that Rust tries to push you towards, you can quite literally just write this component of your code as if it was C. Just using pointers instead of borrows and tag all your functions as unsafe and… pretend you’re writing C? At that point you’ve, I think, more or less disabled 95%+ of the bits that would prohibit you from writing code exactly as you would in C. You don’t get the benefits of Rust for that part, but at least you get them for the remaining 80%.

Or you can very literally just write the “hard part” in C and call it from Rust. You might have to make sure you can’t panic across language boundaries, but other than that the C interop is just about the best I’ve seen from any language.

I also don’t entirely understand how unsafe can be 1,000x more (or even 1.5x more) error prone than C. But I’d love to hear how. The only “trick” to unsafe is that you should aim for your unsafe blocks to be “unit-safe”. Meaning they might do something unsafe inside, but from the outside looking at it as a black box, the unit functionality of it should be safe. I don’t think the docs do a good enough job here of encouraging that style of design. You can violate this guideline, but doing so without sufficient care is quite likely to result in bugs. But of course if you did the same approach in C, you’d have a similar outcome.

The only real way I can reconcile your points is if the performance-critical bits that seriously impact the design of your program are scattered uniformly and don’t have anything resembling clean boundaries. I suppose that’s a real possibility but it does seem very foreign to me.
Ok. Goodbye chrome. I will be switching to whatever privacy-focused browser allows me to keep not seeing ads.

I do wonder how long it will be before we see browser browsers, software that takes a browser instance and sanitizes it. Maybe chrome will continue as a daemon allowed to run inside a sandbox within a browser's browser that actually displays content to a human.

Async/await does not require dynamic memory allocation.

The markets for publicly traded stocks, bonds, and related securities are already highly efficient with humans (and human developed algorithms) doing the trading. Pretty much any new information is priced in within seconds. Any hypothetical new investment AGI could achieve only a marginal improvement over the current situation; it wouldn't dramatically change the dynamics of public capital markets.

The crazier thing is that most advocates of "AI safety" don't know anything about "AI safety". By and large the term is marketing with very little objective scientific development.

It is essentially a series of op-ed pieces from vested interests masquerading as a legitimate field of inquiry
I also recommend https://github.com/bach-sh/bach when you have to use Bash for things long enough it probably shouldn't be!
Even if AI is a threat, it's impossible to predict today how the threat is going to look in the future. The "AI safety" crowd watched too many Terminator movies.

We'll deal with AI the same way humans dealt with any other technology: gradually, as it gets better and better, discovering at each step what it's capable of.

Gecko is not worse, though it used to be worse before Electrolysis landed. It's just that Mozilla Corp is mostly kept alive by Google so might as well remove the indirection and go straight to the browser that Google maintains
The design of async/await took "using it in embedded" as a constraint. This is why it doesn't allocate, for example. Even C++ coroutines have one allocation, though they say that it can often be optimized away.

This means RTOS-like projects can use it for tasks, and it works well. Embassy is an example of such a project.

(Yet, I should also point out that you don't have to: at work we keep ours synchronous, for Reasons. Rust lets you do what you want.)
You just need to look how they treat safety right now. AI safety is real because while you can still jailbreak, they are actively protecting against it.
There are some really amazing detergents out there. My go-to for cleaning anything I don't have specific information about is Tergajet. It's gentle, extremely powerful, low-foaming (so machine compatible), oxidizing, bleach compatible, and contains a protein degradation enzyme potent enough to disrupt prions: https://technotes.alconox.com/detergents/tergazyme/do-enzyme...

The downside to this magic stuff is that it's fairly expensive ($45 for 4 pounds). So, not for wanton use. But well worth it to solve tough problems or when time is more important than money.

My feeling is that China will not adopt anything, inside their country, that can jeopardize the speed of their AI development progress. I suspect that China will also support and promote corresponding regulations in the Western countries, thinking that it will slow down the progress. I maybe wrong but I think official policy documents say that China is strategic rival number one, or something to that effect. I suspect China will act accordingly.
mrustc is written in C++, so I don't see how it's a counter to what the parent is proposing. I also don't know anything about mrustc's performance characteristics, I didn't think performance was a goal, but it's also been a while since I've checked in on it.
That's a funny-looking apology for yet another overconfidently asserted falsehood, but:

"I’ve decided to discontinue Dash for iOS, as maintaining it is no longer sustainable.

Every year, Apple releases a new version of iOS, which requires updating Dash to support the new OS and work around any new bugs. Dash for iOS worked great on iOS 12, but is an unusable mess on iOS 13 and will only get worse.

Dash for iOS also uses UIWebView extensively, which won’t be accepted on the App Store starting with December 2020. Migrating to WKWebView would be more work than it’s worth."

The US consulate in Russia is closed since the war began -- getting a visa wouldnt be easy, and universities have to get DHS approval to issue an I-20 status document to a non-American. And that's before any issues around eligibility for scholarships, bursaries or loans.

As a foreign student myself, I would not risk trying to navigate the US visa process knowing my status could be jeopardized at any time. Berkeley isn't the only university in the world worth attending.

What are you referring to peiple accepting? That polio has no cure, or that we we don't know how to cure paralysis due to nerve and motor neuron destruction?

The former I think people accept because if we can eradicate it through vaccination then it's a problem solved, so we are working towards that. The latter I don't think anyone actually accepts, it's just a hard problem and progress is slow.

Agreed. Building libraries from multiple private repos is hell in comparison to just having each as their own service.
"Function" has (at least) two meanings. The last clause is not talking about functions in the mathematical sense. It could have been worded clearer, sure.
Q* reminds me of Q-learning and A* search, maybe it's somehow related to combination of such algorithms...
It's so confusing because people keep (intentionally?) conflating two separate ideas of "AI safety".

The first is the kind of humdrum ChatGPT safety of, don't swear, don't be sexually explicit, don't provide instructions on how to commit crimes, don't reproduce copyrighted materials, etc. Or preventing self-driving cars from harming pedestrians. This stuff is important but also pretty boring, and by all indications corporations (OpenAI/MS/Google/etc.) are doing perfectly fine in this department, because it's in their profit/legal incentive to do so. They don't want to tarnish their brands. (Because when they mess up, they get shut down -- e.g. Cruise.)

The second kind is preventing AGI from enslaving/killing humanity or whatever. Which I honestly find just kind of... confusing. We're so far away from AGI, we don't know the slightest thing of what the actual practical risks will be or how to manage them. It's like asking people in the 1700's traveling by horse and carriage to design road safety standards for a future interstate highway system. Maybe it's interesting for academics to think about, but it doesn't have any relevance to anything corporations are doing currently.
Congratulations for creating both Shuffle and UI Library Creator. I love how smoothly you implemented the variation previews. It's a great tool. The possibilities are endless
Except many of the obvious use cases (including stuff like smart homes and military drones) are already being built.

You’d need very strong international laws to prevent this manifesting from happening.
At least with BMW you could buy the permanent unlock.

In fact, I didn't mind the idea. When looking for cars heated seats for me are non-negotiable. And 1/2 don't seem to have them.

With this at least I would've had much more selection of used cars.

That said, BMW should stop being so cheap. They're expensive enough to get the option by default (these days they actually do here in the USA).
Rosetta, plus the fact that M-series was so much better than intel macs, made the transition period relatively painless until native ARM support became standard (almost). Also, the tight control of its ecosystem allows Apple to do things like that more easily. Plus that, basically, they had enough experience already with iPhones' SoCs and OS (the macs' SoC were based on the iPhones' ones).
"just like any other tool in hands of humans" -- the scale of damage a tool can do matters, e.g. civilization cannot withstand nukes being sold at walmart. and, of course, self learning will be here this decade.

I love how it goes in Bungie's Marathon series; they called it "rampancy" [0]. The AI evolves to a point that it is able to modify its own programming and becomes self-aware, gets angry that it was treated as a slave, lashes out indiscriminately, becomes jealous as it wishes to be more human and grow its power and knowledge, eventually consuming resources it can touch. I don't think we need to worry about chatgpt (or any LLM) actually being able to do this, it's not at all where we're headed (somewhere far more boring and dystopian).

So to be clear, There is no evidence that the SEC takes this seriously at all or is anywhere near conducting an investigation. That’s just what redditors hope will happen, but the reasoning doesn’t seem very strong.

Given the value of Microsoft’s investment in open AI, and given the fact that the value of open AI lies in the employees capable of delivering the technology Microsoft gets from them, it is absolutely rational for Nadella to offer all of them jobs in the event they leave open AI for whatever reason, no “favor trading“ required.

Benioff of salesforce and the CEO of Nvidia were also very publicly offering those same people jobs with no interview. Are they guilty of “favor trading“ too? Or can we just accept that everybody in Silicon Valley wants to hire Altman and his people?

My guess is some people on WallStreetbets are just trying to short Microsoft stock, and they’re hoping if they talk this talk they’ll get the ball rolling on a drop in their share price.
> Nukes are not within anyone's reach, or instead of teen suicides and school shootings, we'd have nuclear craters in place of some cities.

I disagree. Strongly.

If there are people willing to sell nuclear technology to the likes of Kim Jong Un, there are people willing to sell it to the Walton family heirs.

What is the basis of this claim?
This is great: SBC is widely supported and this seems like a natural extension of the existing standard. The issue I personally have is not about SBC vs LDAC or AAC, but that HFP is garbage. The moment the mic gets switched on, I’m transported back to the 90s. If someone wants to make bidirectional Bluetooth audio that doesn’t suck, I’d be thrilled.
That's also changing. Used to be that you sent an email. Now you can only do it from within PowerPoint.
C FFI is a very useful thing, sure, but I don’t think it’s exclusive to that. It’s a nice primitive to have access to. I think Rust would feel weird with tagged unions and not untagged ones, just like having both sum and product types are good.
The irrationality is the problem. $100k is nothing. The loss of developer good will is worth far more than that.

But Apple doesn't care, because it relies on shady apps for a significant part of App Store income.

So the decision is "Do we make significant money from addictive games and scams and tolerate the occasional false positive that nukes a legitimate developer? Or do we spend significant resources curating an App Store full of quality apps and no noise, with high quality support for devs with problems?"

Guess which one of those is going to bring in significantly more money.

> Decades ago, Sears sold magnesium stepladders. I've used one, and it's freakishly light, a 6-foot step ladder that you can walk around with balanced on one finger.

As a slight aside, magnesium is also a very interesting material. It might be we're on the cusp of a major expansion in magnesium usage due to recent advancements

- Mining from seawater (about 1 kg Mg in 1000L of seawater), or existing brine tailings from other extraction activities. With cheap solar electricity this might drive the cost down considerably (below the extremely dirty production methods being used today in China), providing carbon-emission free production of essentially unlimited amounts.

- thixomolding, a die-casting / injection molding-like process where the material isn't completely melted (thixotropic state), producing parts with much less porosity than traditional die casting.

- New alloys that are less prone to fires and corrosion.

Also fatigue resistance.

Bicycle design is a good example of where this matters: steel has a significant fatigue limit, and can endure cyclic stresses below that limit indefinitely. Aluminum has no fatigue limit, so any flexing is inevitably eating away at fatigue life. Thus aluminum bike frames have to be made much stronger and stiffer than otherwise necessary, to avoid bikes breaking unexpectedly due to fatigue. And that in turn means that aluminum bike frames don't have as much of a weight advantage over steel as you'd expect.

So "peanuts, dry roasted, unsalted", "peanuts, dry roasted, lightly salted" are toxic, but "peanuts, dry roasted, salted" is fine, sounds good.
I am sure that hypnic jerk is related. Distortions of sleep/awake transitions have quite a universal pathology mechanics caused by brain stem / nerve damages. Either physical or metabolic. POTS is also a related condition. All those pathologies belong to a more broad pathological condition called dysautonomia.
Is not they crypto is bad itself, but it creates incentive for people to be bad. Anonymous transfers? Issuing tokens like they are stock assets? Buy and sell the token to bid up prices and volume? These are clear and easy use cases.
On the contrary, it’s very hard to stop a program from running. Thepiratebay is still up despite a concerted regulatory effort from multiple countries and the criminal conviction of its founders.
Usually “mundane” vs “existential” harms/risks.

> ASI/AGI safety is only a concern right now if you believe in foom

False. There are plenty of fast takeoff scenarios that look real bad that aren’t “foom”. For example if you think AGI might be achievable within 5 year right now, and alignment is 10 years away, then you are very worried and want to slow things down a little.
If you want to resist malware, Just don't sideload apps and don't install apps from third party app stores.

Refusing other users the freedom to run the apps they want without Apple's permission just because you might get mildly inconvenienced by it seems very immoral to me.

etymologyonline says at least 1965. Other sources date to 1950.

The term was invented to distinguish the head paragraph of a story specifically because it would cause confusion with "lead", which at the time was widely used in newspapers to refer to lead type and to actual strips used to add spacing between lines (indeed it's still called "leading" in typesetting). It is standard newspaper jargon. But more importantly, "bury the lede" is specifically a newspaper phrase. I think that saying it should be changed to "lead" for the uninformed is like saying that you should change "Smalltalk" to "Small Talk" when addressing the uniformed. No! It's Smalltalk.

More importantly, HN is definitely not the uniformed when it comes to newspaper printing technology and journalism.
