Given that it has none of the features that make Nix bearable, and (if my long memory serves) has repeatedly been busted for truck-sized security holes, and, on top of that, has a grammar that makes me long for that old gif of a hexadecimal

+1. YAML is a terrible foundation for a declarative config. You need a language designed for declarative config . Some commenter above said that this space is too messy for a purely declarative language; someone else said Pulumi should be

Longtime devout linux user here. I've recently switched from Gnome 40 to KDE Plasma, and I'm really enjoying being able to configure and break things again. It scratches the same itch that Windows used to, but better. And, as OP

I don't dispute your broader point about humans and novel risk, I dispute that COVID is a valid example of this. In fact, I rather think we didn't react swiftly or strongly enough. Masks, in particular, should have been mandated (

I'm well aware of this, but the premises, in this case, are true? What do you take Yudkowsky's false premises to be?

The risk was not minor -- COVID remains a leading cause of death in most countries. https://www.thinkglobalhealth.org/article/just-how-do-deaths... It is now, thanks to swift and absurdly successful mRNA vaccine resear

What a great metaphor. Did you recall that your planet is currently in a sixth extinction event, brought about, yes, through the repeated overuse of fire? Zeus was right. Prometheus belonged on that rock.

This essay is literally just Isildur looking at the ring he cut from Sauron and saying "I kind of like it tho". -> Aaronson admits Yudkowsky's position is consistent -> Main disagreement is that he can imagine other o

You mistake our astonishment at GPT-4 as implying some slight against D&D; you attempt to minimize our astonishment by pointing out facts about D&D that most of use would probably agree to. Yet this does nothing to mitigate our asto

The tracker for that torrent was taken offline by Meta. There was a story about it on HN a while ago. Don't believe me? Try to torrent. Do homework. SMH.

I thought of this immediately too. I know that Meta is doing its level best to wipe LLaMA's weights from the face of the Internet, but I also suspect ( and cannot prove ) that various organs of the US state (CIA, NSA, FBI) are also try

Wait till you find out Nozick was an ethicist, that libertarianism is a position within political philosophy (which in turn is a generalization of ethics.)

Rather, you're not arguing using coherent logic, you're making a series of logic-ish maneuvers that yield persuasive emotional appeals -- which, yes, is perfectly valid rhetoric-work, provided you haven't taken a knife to a g

It's not a strawman, it's an analogy. In order to be a man of straw, it would have to claim that AI "just is" a well-poisoning machine (in the literal sense of a machine that inserts poison into a hole in the ground cont
