The AI alignment problem has, at its root, the notion of being capable of being aligned. Long, long before you get to following any particular instructions, there are problems like "humans are made of atoms, if you repurpose the atoms for other things the humans die, don't do that". We don't know how to do that or things on par with that, let alone anything more precise than that.

The darkly amusing shorthand for this: if the AGI tiles the universe with tiny flags, it really doesn't matter whose flag it is. Any notion of "whose values" really can't happen if you can't align at all.

I'm not disagreeing with you that "AI alignment" is more complex than "don't kill everyone"; the point I'm making is that anyone saying "but whose values are you aligning with" is fundamentally confused about the scale of the problem here. Anyone at any point on any reasonable human values spectrum should be able to agree that "don't kill everyone" is an essential human value, and we're not even there yet.

If this website isn't stripping them, try it out in the provided decoder and you'll see) with unrecognized PUA characters, because it won't treat them as combining characters.

There are some more traditional home phones which work on 4/5G networks with a DECT handset which talks to a cellular base station. You might look into switching to that model to replace your "cell phone as a home phone" concept. It makes it a bit easier to add another handset to the DECT network and often means convenient cradles to charge the handsets while the base station stays in a good signal spot with plenty of power.

Just a thought when it comes time to change out that device.

Is there anything that strikes you as typical about what is currently happening with the federal government?

Musk pushed out the head of the FAA who was about to fine SpaceX and investigate the Starship RUD, in days. Are the two things related? I guess we can never be sure.
There is a huge difference: the first is an _exception_, which:

- Unwinds the stack to a try/catch or exception handler, making exceptions practically difficult to deal with in concurrent programming.

- If unchecked, can be ignored, silently propagating during stack unwinding.

- If checked, infects the call stack with 'throws' annotations.

The second is a normal return value, with no try/catch needed, handling the error case is mandatory in order to handle the success case, and there is not a separate execution regime occurring whenever an error case is encountered.
All we have is maps, and all maps are bad. Some maps are useful for some purposes, others for others. A map that helps us go to the moon may not be the best map for the purposes of, say, mental well-being, living in harmony, things like that.

> Reality exists. Objective reality exists.

Remember, the only information about that reality is supplied via/by our mind. Our mind also suggests choices about what to measure, what experiments to hold, and more generally what sort of maps to create. It is all subjective from the ground up.

> Science creates models which more correctly describe the nature of reality than religion.

Science makes testable predictions and creates models which help make further testable predictions. Those models do not “describe the nature of reality”. If you think natural sciences make statements of absolute truth, you are mistaking science for religion.

> Are you sure about that? Git reset doesn't need s chapter to explain.

But it gets one — as they pointed out, Chapter 2.4 of the Git book (https://git-scm.com/book/id/v2/Git-Basics-Undoing-Things) is about undoing things. And to be clear, that's not just `git reset` — depending on what exactly you need to undo, you should use different tools, including amending existing commits and using `git checkout`. All of which will have different effects, and some of which can be dangerous if you misunderstand them (such as `git checkout` which can destroy data if you've not properly committed it yet).

Meanwhile, whatever the last thing you did with `jj` was, `jj undo` will undo it. On top of that `jj op log` will provide you a list of all the things you've done, and `jj op restore` can reset the entire repository to a previous state.

This isn't about UX: Git doesn't have the capability to do what JJ is doing here, because it doesn't track the evolution of the repository as a whole in the way that JJ does.

I primarily do iOS and iPadOS, but it’s far easier to bridge the gap between all the platforms than the experience I had in the past with UIKit/AppKit. My last MacOS app sadly does not do infinite scrolling.

Off the top of my head, I’d consider the approach. Is it a ScrollView? A LazyVStack? What do your view redraws look like?

Anyone working with Swift Strings back in Swift 1+2 was in for some shockingly bad performance. We adopt, we adapt, and the framework matures.
Considering you have options, one could argue that you must be okay with them, otherwise you could just choose to not support them. I personally believe there's more nuance than that, but Ive heard that line of argument before.
GTFO hackernews, we only play Dota2 here.
I guess my disconnect is that the computer that a person owns isn't the same as a store that Apple runs and can carefully curate that runs on that computer. Combining those into one thing strikes me as dangerous, with not much upside. Everything you described can be true while allowing the user to use their computer how they want, it just doesn't make Apple as much money.
> those technologies have been stopped world-wide for about 5 decades now and counting because no researcher is willing to work in the field

That's not true. I worked in the field of DNA analysis for 6.5 years and there is definitely a consensus that DNA editing is closer than the horizon. Just look at CRISPR gene editor [0]. Crude, but "works".

Your DNA, even if you've never submitted it, is already available using shadow data (think Facebook style shadow profiles but for DNA) from the people related to you who have.

> But in this instance we are talking about the server side runtime.

Not at all. We are talking about SSR, and the need for a build step (on the backend). That should be pretty obvious considering the explicit mentions of running the code in the browser, jsx, ts, etc. (Not to mention the backend runtime cannot run typescript/jsx without build either)

> Building is creating the runnable artefact

That's not all that 'building' is...

> but in the context of the server this artefact is already runnable

No it's not. The JIT/interpreter within Deno cannot run this code without doing a build first. This is made very obvious and explicit in the Deno docs.

https://docs.deno.com/runtime/fundamentals/typescript/

> With its built-in TypeScript compiler, Deno will compile your TypeScript code to JavaScript with no extra config needed.
My apologies if the wording made it confusing :D By "no build" I only meant "no bundling".

You can check the generated source code of the example deployment to see how it's deployed: https://fullsoak.onrender.com/

But spoiler: it's like in the 90s: each page request results in a text/html response, and the HTML doc then links in any .js or .css file it needs.

> LLMs will not get us to AGI. Not even close. Altman talking about this danger is like Musk talking about driverless taxis.

AGI is a meaningless term. The LLM architecture has shown promise in every single domain once used for perceptron neural networks. By all accounts on those things that fit its 'senses' the LLMs are significantly smarter than the average human being.
> The idea is that by its very nature as an agent that attempts to make the best action to achieve a goal, assuming it can get good enough, the best action will be to improve itself so it can better achieve its goal.

I’ve heard this argument before, and I don’t entirely accept it. It presumes that AI will be capable of playing 4D chess and thinking logically 10 moves ahead. It’s an interesting plot as a SF novel (literally the plot of the movie “I Robot”), but neural networks just don’t behave that way. They act, like us, on instinct (or training), not in some hyper-logical fashion. The idea that AI will behave like Star Trek’s Data (or Lore), has proven to be completely wrong.
And several revolutions are underway (simple examples Myanmar and Syria). And in Syria, "the previous government" lost.

The 1789 was one of many revolutions (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_peasant_revolts) and it was not fought because of genocide of other people, it was due to internal problems.
A preference is meaningless without consciousness and qualia.

Most RSUs have a time and liquidity vesting. The latter triggers on IPO. If your company didn’t follow that convention, they went out of their way to screw you [1]. (RSUs are generally a worse deal than IPOs. They’re a great deal for companies, which is why Andreessen et al push them.)

> current employees have access to a sell-to-cover option, while former employees are required to prepay in cash

This is common. Cashless sales are a benefit. We strictly regulate who can and cannot be provided employee benefits in America. Your former employer would risk extending a securities-based loan to you. It can be done. Your former employer decided not to extend the privilege.

I'm curious, why couldn't packages that are fully reproduceable be marked with metadata, and in your config you set a flag to only allow reproduceable packages? Similar to the nonfree tag.

Then you'd have a 100% reproduceable OS if you have the flag set (assuming that required base packages are reproduceable)

Right, let's go back to the stone age because we said so.

With all due respect, and not to be controversial, but how is this concern any more valid than the 'great replacement' worries.
>"I think a particular (mostly western) fetish for privileging individuals over communities has been wrongly extended to capital itself (e.g. corporations recognised as entities with rights similar to - and sometimes over-and-above - those of a person)"

Possible remedy will be to tie corporation to a person - person (or many if there are few owners and directors) become personally liable for everything corporation does.

Often, but not always and whilst using third party cables may bring cosmetic appeal, many third parties provide quality cables.

Yes if you buy random cosmetic cables from random Amazon vendors you're running a heavy risk. However there are reputable 3rd party companies that provide both quality cables and cosmetic customization built for your particular power supply.

The same goes for any 3rd party products/accessories.

Common carriers have some upsides, but one downside is that it sometimes removes the incentive for ISPs to deploy their own networks.

I was stuck with a common carrier for years. I could pick different ISPs, which offered different prices and types of support, but they all used the same connection... which was only stable at lower speeds.
The domain name kind of suggests this interpretation, too.
What you see as abuse some would see as user agency. User agency is a very powerful thing, and it's shortsighted to squash it just because your users aren't using it strictly to enhance your content in the way you want.

It's especially shortsighted to squash it just because they used it on some of your advertisers' content and your advertisers yelled at you about it.
What exactly is the letter declaring? There are so many interpretations of "AI safety" with most of them not actually having anything to do with maximizing distribution of societal and ecosystem prosperity or minimizing the likelihood of destruction or suffering. In fact some concepts of AI safety I have seen are double speak for rules that are more likely to lead to AI imposed tyranny.

Where is the nuanced discussion of what we want and don't want AI to do as a society?

These details matter, and working through them collectively is progress, in stark contrast to getting dragged into identity politics arguments.

- I want AI to increase my freedom to do more and spend more time doing things I find meaningful and rewarding.
- I want AI to help us repair damage we have done to ecosystems and reverse species diversity collapse.
- I want AI to allow me to consume more in a completely sustainable way for me and the environment.
- I want AI that is an excellent and honest curator of truth, both in terms of accurate descriptions of the past and nuanced explanations of how reality works.
- I want AI that elegantly supports a diversity of values, so I can live how I want and others can live how they want.
- I don't want AI that forcefully and arbitrarily limits my freedoms
- I don't want AI that forcefully imposes other people's values on me (or imposes my values on others)
- I don't want AI war that destroys our civilization and creates chaos
- I don't want AI that causes unnecessary suffering
- I don't want other people to use AI to tyrannize me or anyone else.

How about instead of being so broadly generic about "AI safety" declarations we get specific, and then ask people to make specific commitments in kind. Then it would be a lot more meaningful when they refuse, or when they oblige and then break them.

I watched JD Vance's speech. He had made few very reasonable points to refuse joining the alliance. Still his speech left me with some sour taste.

In the final binaries created by compiled with gcc 2.6.3 and assembled with a custom assembler there appear to be unused, uninitialized data that is whatever was in RAM when whoever compiled the game created the release build.

Since the goal is a matching (reproducible) binary, we have tools to restore that random data at specific offsets. Fortunately our targets are fixed
