There is a paper by OpenAI suggesting to restrict availability of compute. https://twitter.com/harmlessai/status/1624617240225288194 https://arxiv.org/pdf/2301.04246.pdf

Enough to make your own. Unneutered AIs will be made illegal to operate (rightly so perhaps, they could be dangerous for the governments).

In the future we'll interact with people online, who post pictures and videos of themselves to the internet, who will participate in Twitter spaces, who will video call you, but will never have existed in the first place. It will be co

Much in this world would be better if we donated to what ought be a public service. If browser vendors didn't have to chase profits, perhaps they wouldn't be so user-hostile, and the same principle applies to most software I'

Mozilla has been going down a bizarre path for a while. If only Brendan Eich could have stayed at Mozilla instead of getting excommunicated, then we'd have the best of Brave and Firefox. (What _really_ showed me Mozilla is going crazy

If he is to be barred from having any private communication with the world, then log his network traffic directly (pre-VPN, TLS encryption, etc) rather than this minor nuisance.

A VPN doesn't make something not ephemeral ephemeral.

Are they going to disallow HTTPS, DNS over HTTPS, and encrypted SNI too?

I considered buying one because of this post, but https://store.minisforum.com/ unfortunately seems to be down right now.

USDC is not speculative? It's a stablecoin. Gold would also be a solution but its illiquidity makes it impractical.

Why do people still require PayPal in this day and age? Even if it's needed, why are your funds on there? I use Revolut, but make sure to keep more than enough as USDC to secure myself against arbitrary freezes.

Why does it need to contact a central server anyway? Seems like a huge issue.

What do you use instead? IPFS isn't very practical compared to Bittorrent I find.

A sophisticated attacker could make use of bugs in the player to hack the system. This sort of trick is often used against high value targets where the effort needed makes it worth it.

In practice, all simple behaviour you want can be expressed succinctly. If you want it to have complex behaviour, the type is complex. This is no different from using natural language to describe the problem. If for example we want it to im

This will never happen. Linux is way too big for this. The percentage of developers using Linux is so large that making your tool only work under WSL makes very little sense, especially when the native approach is usually easier/simple

My biggest complaint with all these AI coding tools is that they fail to make use of types; types would allow you to filter many incorrect outputs trivially by type checking it. If you go all the way to dependent types, you could even make

Elon's vision seems more likely nowmthat AGI seems to be closer than ever. Even if it isn't "conscious" nor has "free thought", what we have today seems awfully close to what's necessary.

Seems simple, it's only AGPL (from their own license! [0]): All other non-permissive additional terms are considered "further restrictions" within the meaning of section 10. If the Program as you received it, or any

This seems reasonable to me. Caches should last longer; if you want to be sure of you get the latest version, rename the file. a good trick is to include the hash of the file in the name to get content-addressing à la IPFS.

For reference, sanctions have been partially lifted for this. Do not worry about legal repercussions.

It seems to me that the author isn't comfortable with static typing. The obvious solution (which might be impossible in MyPy?) is to have a two-parameter type class (protocol in MyPy?) of the lhs and rhs, and have the output be of an a

For many (if not most) use cases, the latency is more important than the compute.
