They’ve copied the article from a Medium post, and changed the title so it makes less sense (article body doesn’t mention C++ at all, does praise garbage collected languages though, which C++ isn’t). Original link: https://medium

You could instead have a track record of picking up whatever stack your role requires.

The “they” who forced him to buy Twitter was the previous management of Twitter, when he attempted to back out of a legally binding agreement to buy Twitter that he had signed. The “they” who are now criticising him for the way he’s running

I do not think the word “singularity” means in this context what the author thinks it means in this context (technological rapture). And it is pure sophistry to claim that if AGI will exist in the future then it also exists in the present a

If it is going to be buried 700m under the sea floor, then it won’t get accidentally severed by ships anchors, at least. Was Nord Stream buried?

How does this compare to having a smaller battery in the car, with more energy storage on grid? I see that this way there are lower transmission losses, but surely this is outweighed by spending extra energy carrying a larger battery around

Personally I like iterm2, but… what do YOU want out of a terminal? What makes a terminal great for YOU?

Go is verbose. That slows me down when I’m _reading_ code. Especially when it means the chunk of code I’m reading doesn’t fit on my screen.

I agree with this, but the examples don’t really work for me. Sqlite is that easy to get started with… if you already have make and a C compiler installed. The example makefile they give later on assumes that packages are installed using br

Yeah… I wasn’t really getting at it not working on 32bit, more getting at it not working on arm. If it doesn’t acquire the ability to run arm binaries, it will be a retro computing platform in a couple of years. (And it would have to emulat

You will need to implement some sort of censorship system, even if only to remove the outright illegal stuff. Also there’s stuff like doxxing where there’s no point filtering it out with an optional filter — either your site filters it out

It was invented by Western psychologists upon discovering that the results of their experiments on Western psychology students did not, after all, generalise to results that were applicable to all humans. If you’re hanging round in circles

Only runs on x64 chips. Presumably only runs macOS binaries built for intel? (i.e. not apple silicon.) I can’t find if it says anywhere.

“The people” are not building an AGI, mostly don’t have the skills for it.

Who is “we”? It seems just as likely that an AGI would be put to work persuading us that climate change was nothing to worry about.

The paper clip maximiser scenario feels much more likely, and thus much more worth worrying about.

I don’t follow the logic. How does climate change increase the need for AGI?

In some places it’s a scam. In other places, management mean well but are not aware that people tend not to take enough holiday with unlimited PTO. Finally, some places are aware of the issue and try to do something about it. My girlfriend

Could be. Or it could be about the alignment problem. Are they designing AI to prioritise humanity’s interests, or its corporate masters’ interests? One way is better for humanity, the other brings in more cash.
