Just as a random proposal, not even lightly thought out. In priority order with realistic exceptions: - do your best to be not dead, safe, and healthy for the next few years - do your best to make those around you not dead, safe, and health

The history of Nietzsche's work and the context it was used in makes this conversation complicated. Its one of those situations where the root philosophy is correct "moral frameworks are arbitrary and thier enforcement mechanism a

Not for the purposes of these numbers. They totally use GCP (and even "bill" themselves) but it is all isolated to one "Organization" that often gets special handling.

This is an electric motorcycle with pedals. The presence of pedals that only-technically contribute to motion is a regulatory-dodge not an intended feature.

They don't actually show any results. Of any kind. I have some spare compute credits and I'm taking it for a spin here: https://colab.research.google.com/drive/1XL91kdwMWQQf1xu1_zS... I'm posting there b

We have been using the mechanism of "Humans communicating and working together" to form superintelligences for a long time. They have gotten more effective, more efficient and more durable with time. AI isn't the new monster.

It's the sign they are leaving capitalism. That could be in a positive or negative direction. People very advocate of capitalism tend to present it as always a bad thing.

And when you are trying out a new imaging method, the selection bias for "long tail weird stuff" that shows up is pretty high. Assuming this is repeatable, it will take a while to contextualize.

The moonlander's firmware approach is the critical feature for me. Its a customizable ergonomic keyboard that requires zero special software on the host machine. It enables me to use the full features of the keyboard on highly restrict

Sadly we don't have any defense against 0 days if an emergency patch is indistinguishable from an attack itself. Better defense would be to delete or quarantine the compromised versions, fail to build and escalate to a human for zero-d

"Just wait 2 weeks to use new versions by default" is an amazing defense method against supply chain attacks.

This seems less accurate than `return 1.0` Using the unboundedly unreliable systems to evaluate reliability is just a bad premise.

It ended? Just seems a bit more "timeshared" than before. One lord for your labor, another for your land. The illusion of a choice buys a lot of compliance.

I think we need our own variant of the "iron ring" at this point. I wear a similar steel ring on my pinky as an oath reminder. Its a lot of work to grass-roots something like that, and I don't have the charisma for it.

Turns out education done right is vaguely a speed-run of how the knowledge was developed. Adding calculating tools makes sense as you advance the the corresponding point in the process. Honestly, I think there should be a chunk of precal an
