I see that as a poor phrasing, where a slogan made it through. I don’t see a maximalist/anarchist intent overall, my understanding is that that slogan about freedoms should be interpreted within a fairly narrow scope. Just strike that

Why? Science fiction talked about technology’s behavior and human expectations of it even way before computers became mechanical. Stories about golems going rogue and genies requiring careful wishing aren’t modern era inventions.

What’s your point? He’s not arguing for anarchism. He’s arguing there are some areas of life that are best left ungovernable and up to individuals to decide. It’s not an all-or-nothing situation. Every constitution out there carves out su

At the very beginning of the article he dismissed unrealistic expectations, like AI manipulating matter with some quantum magics. Time travel surely counts as such. And then why bother about AI when Back to the Future reminds us, a sports a

How’s that “skipping vendor bloatware to get the printer working” example is bad? Once upon a time that situation got us the whole Free Software movement going.

You must’ve missed all the other examples. There are plenty of less unrealistic and less scandalous hypotheticals.

You jest, but I’m pretty sure it’ll be a thing somewhere, it’ll take its toll, and eventually fail from its own flaws. Then, chances are, there will be some lessons learnt - although, most likely, not on the first try. But that’s just a fut

I think the article used a different colloquial meaning of “intelligent”, more akin to “intellectual” (the noun), as in “well educated”. Either way, an odd statement shouldn’t normally instantly invalidate the whole article.

Just wait a few decades until brain-machine interfaces will become a mass-market thing.

Aren’t stupidity, shortsightedness, and corruption universal human “values”, well-spread all across the political spectrum?

I think the idea is that the chances of an LLM causing death or irreparable harm to a consistently unsupervised kid are too low to be comparable with major sources of harm (like cars) and are rather on or below the level of random casual ac

That's another vector, and everyone considers separately. But at least here one can - hypothetically - have a BAA and zero-retention agreement with Anthropic. Which means they have moderately strong incentives to wipe your data after a

If it's an US-based lab, aren't they subject to CLIA with all its retention requirements? For $7.5k+ you get a guaranteed privacy (as other comments suggest, other properties may vary, but at least the data never leaves your home)

Just two Ethernet ports (1+2.5GbE), and it’s dual-band (no 6GHz)… I’m not sure who’s the target audience or what’s the use case.

That’s actually true, but that’s a different issue - companies lying in their marketing materials, making claims that do not match the reality (or well-established definitions, if a company choses to mean something else and call that E2EE).

That’s incorrect. E2EE means encrypted data leaves the device, stored encrypted, and server(s) have no keys to decrypt it, only your (or other) client software does.

I have an use case. I have a multi-region homelab cluster and I share some photos with my friends in the US and my parents in Russia. I’m auto-uploading full library (basically replacing iCloud/Google Photos) and I can share links to s

This makes sense, but I'm not sure it's directed at the actual issue. There are probably some subtle bugs I can't explain in the code I wrote all by myself. I sure had a few "what was I possibly thinking when I wrote th

> luxury of an emotion without paying for it That’s just an echo of a religious-age idea that one’s life “must” include suffering. Which is merely an attempt to answer a “why” when one feels miserable, a consoling lie from the ancient ti

Isn’t “slop” defined as something that is perceived as inaccurate and flawed? If you don’t get a “uh, that’s slop/bullshit/word salad/…” reaction then it’s not a slop anymore.

That’s how it should be. I’m not sure that’s how it works in practice. Certainly not today, when everything seems to be slogan/agenda-driven.

Why not? One can surely use math even if they have no clue about how to prove theorems. I suck at math, but I use it every day, without knowing how to advance it. I think it might be fair to say that a proof cannot be without value if it pr

It’s going to sound delusional, but my own understanding of my understanding is that there’s probably no such thing, only a feeling of familiarity and some heuristics. All I do is invoke “pictures” of semantic blobs in my mind, and my uncon
