HN wouldn’t be allowed to remove that content — but that’s different than flagging it as inappropriate (as HN does now). My vision is having HNs flagging system where the content is hidden but available by default would be acceptable — but

My solution is split services into “platforms” and “providers”, where only “platforms” enjoy immunity for user uploads but are subject to common carrier regulations in exchange. It would be up to any company to decide if they’re a “platform

I’m saying we should change it so you have one of two choices for your website: - let users upload cars, puppies, and funny videos of their kids (video platform; common carrier; immunized from copyright claims, etc) - accept editorial contr

In what way does what you say not apply to cellphones? I believe I’m better off for that regulation (in telecom) and believe that I would similarly benefit if social media platforms were also regulated as common carriers. Edit — rate limite

Great idea! Social media and cloud providers are like telephones, mail, and electricity. They should provide a service for any legal use, even if they don’t agree with the content.

I see it the other way: We’ve had a revolutionary S-curve with computing/artificial reasoning in inventing transistors — but we know we’re still at the bottom of two related S-curves, quantum computing (an exponential increase in many

Sure — you throw them in the Kube secret manager. But now you have multiple config files (smart) or your entire config outside the repo (not smart). This isn’t always the wrong approach — SSH keys get loaded this way, for instance. ENV vari

My perspective is that it’s a useful idea for abstraction — which combined with category theory’s ability for composition is cool beans, at least in computer science. The square in a category diagram is a legit object — and we can have type

by bopbeepboop 6y ago
For the first: Michael Shulman et al have been working on a semantic model of type theory as category diagrams and discuss how sometimes it’s easier to solve your problem as a diagram picture and sometimes as a logical statement. The mathem

In terms of foundational research: There will be a bunch of work connecting type theory (algebra) to deep learning (geometry), by using the ideas from HoTT. Quantum AI will become increasingly a thing.

I believe they meant mounting via Kubectrl as a file, from the secret manager. So runtime file injection.

How do command line arguments or config files solve either problem?

We have papers showing how to exponentially accelerate AI using quantum computers, the same way we can accelerate other types of problems. (Finding a “best DAG” is related to lowest energy state.) Microsoft already has published a number of

Sure — as you say though, we’re far off that limit. There’s plenty of room for limited exponential growth in its intelligence. There’s a number of facts that make this not sci-fi: - China has demonstrated distributed quantum networks. - The

The downvoting is hilarious: nobody can actually say what I’m wrong about, and the one person who tried agreed with me, but you’re here downvoting because you’re sure you’re experts. If you were really smarter than me at QM, you’d be able t

You’d be funnier if you quoted what you believe I said that’s incorrect, rather than making nebulous accusations because you didn’t understand or agree with my comment. Go ahead, get scientific.

We have basic gates in circuits and a few fairly solid theories of how to scale, including quantum AI algorithms to accelerate training. Distributed quantum systems running those basic gates have been demonstrated. Basic arithmetic has been

I can’t tell you what to do with your life. My solution to encountering outdated beliefs with great utility was to try and update them — to retell Kung fu (and Buddhism) in that new world view. Buddhism has a maxim to keep what’s useful and

by bopbeepboop 6y ago
Can you name an equivalent of Kung fu? I can’t — so I found it necessary to dig into the old program and port the concepts. I would argue that more people should do that, even when they don’t immediately understand the old model well enough

Distributed quantum computing is already a thing. An AGI that made a few decades of current-rate scientific progress could switch to a globally distributed quantum computer that’s synchronized in its computation through entanglement. At whi

Yep, and a man should focus on discipline in his house instead of confront the injustice of the world — that’s why he beats his wife instead of confronting real problems. LeBron happily accepts Chinese money for his work to be aired in the

Which is particularly galling: LeBron et al talk about how they won’t back down confronting wrongs! — except for China, who is actually racist and actually abusing human rights, right now. He shut up, sat down about that and read the script

What would that be? I’ve encountered this claim more often than I’ve encountered actual fundamentalist churches I think are making any sort of strong claim about the world. So I’m curious to hear what people think is wrong.

Thanks for doing this! (Don’t have questions; just encouraging more not-mega church public Christianity.)
