Yeah: the account 'for friends' is called "frinsta" (or something) nowadays.

So true. I'm increasingly finding myself having to 'play' the recommendation algorithm strategically, just to keep my own political sanity...

And an API is not quite " A set of rules that developers follow to create software that can interact with an external system or application" [emphasis added]... (Gives the impression of a design pattern or something, IMO) This is

[H]ighly anonymized global corpus of consumer email. What do you mean by "highly anonymized"? What specific privacy notion are you using, and what is the (demonstrably unavoidable) tradeoff you are de facto threading between

Very briefly though, because it's way easier to leak code than to obtain source material and tools to weaponize a deadly virus. True, but perhaps AGI would require substantial, non-trivial supercomputing resources as well...

No, not quite. I strongly suggest you familiarize yourself with the gain-of-function bioethics literature and recent debates, to get a better sense of what I'm trying to convey.

Wow; I would strongly recommend you to re-think your position! Think of it in terms of, e.g. , gain-of-function research in virology ( cf. [1]). [1] https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK285579/

I am far, far less worried about an assassin's drones using AI to find a politician in a crowd than I am about Facebook using pictures of me that other people have posted and tagged me in, so that my face is used to track my movements

To a sufficiently capable intelligence, encrypted machine code is just as understandable as the most elegant source code. Depends on what you mean by "sufficiently" and "encrypted"! I'm not an expert, but my guess

Very well put! Not an expert but, as far as I know, parallel OS development definitely seems to be a frequent blind spot in the systems literature...

Scott does come across as petty, and as someone you would never want to work with. Please don't let his (admittedly sometimes aggressive, unabashed) writing style detract from the man himself. From personal experience, he's unfa

OK, I think I narrowed the 'trick' down. It's actually an interesting existential question. Correct me if I'm wrong but I think the key step is the use of "positive Boolean semantics"; which, as your Ref. 9 pro

Interesting work! We definitely need far better inference models in computational biology than what we currently have. I agree with your paper that modeling is unfortunately more of an "art" than a science nowadays... and with hu

Not a network person by any means, but I think that this points out to what I think is the fatal flaw of IPFS: the apparent "one-wayness" of addresses to content. Yes, I know that is supposed to be its main feature, but (again,

So many mentions of "AI" and "blockchain"; sometimes even in the same phrase... Not a good sign IMO.

I think it's sometimes OK for potentially existential risks, don't you think?

I know some (rudimentary) harmonic analysis and am familiar with the Shannon-Nyquist theorem but I'm not sure I follow. Care to explain? Edit: nevermind, I got it [1]. I see, however, the result only holds 'modulo' paraxial w
