These decompilation projects are not using the distributed game binary to derive the code in their ports directly. It's just used as a rubric. The source code generated from this process is not Nintendo's. That's the idea, at

Isn't agreeing to only run an AGI with whatever theoretical alignment controls we come up with, also a social agreement? Seems we will have to figure that out one way or another.
243.
by hoten 3y ago
That may be, but as far as feasibility goes: I'd bet on solving a social problem over an amorphous technical problem (alignment).

Airgap it. Give it no connections to the outside world, just a single controlled interface with a human operator. It's reduced to an advisor at this point, not an agent, but it removes most potential harm short of tricking its operator

Not even humans are really aligned with humanity. See: the continued existence of nukes

I think perhaps you missed the analogy here? The fire is OpenAI controlling an AI with their alignment efforts. The analogy here is that some company could recreate the AGI-under-alignment and just... Decide to remove the alignment controls

I can relate to the author's frustration of forgetting large chunks of their childhood. My memory has always been poor, and I'm often envious of people who seem to know their upbringing like the back of their hand - as without it

Just tried on my pixel device. Can't say it worked. You hit the assistant thing, say what song is this, then hum as it prompts you. Then stop humming, but it never seems to finish the query. You tap the flat sound wave thing, and it ta

So... Is this feature for this kind of workflow: Branch A from main, make a change X. Branch B from main, make a change Y. X and Y happen to have a common subset, call it Z. Someone changes code that effects Z and pushes to main. You are on

Looking forward to reading more of these, thanks for writing them! Sentry has exceptional customer service (reached out multiple times and always get a prompt useful response or bug fix), and I'm happy to be a customer. I rely on their

To be clear, you are referring to the complicated / rigid way that federal sentencing guidelines operates (via its point system and previous criminal history status, and especially the consolidation of like-infractions), right? LegalEa

There's a clip in the show of a young female teenager who wants to go to school but has instead been separated from her family and forced to work on her (I believe) uncles farm. You're probably asking about the general trend but t

This is mentioned by John. Are there specific instances of misrepresentation in the episode you can point to? "We all know..." That's just not true. Besides being funny, this show presents a general audience with topics they

Ads are surely far less effective if a device doesn't have a single (or limited set) of users, so maybe not? No idea though.

I think the word is being stretched a bit, but not much. Space is not inhabited by any meaningful number of people, and very few have been, so for the foreseeable future anyone simply leaving Earth could be called pioneer - among the first

`npx <package>` does run project installed binaries, if they exist (node_modules/.bin/<package>). In that scenario it's equivalent to `yarn <package>`. Otherwise yes it falls back to a global package, and a

Have you tried npx? It comes with Node. There's also npm run, but perhaps I'm missing something about how they differ

I read the whole thing. I don't know what I was meant to take away from it. Just came off as a rant?

You mow one large yard every couple weeks. Landscapers mow multiple in a day. It's already a low paying gig, with how expensive batteries are I don't think they'll be using electric equipment anytime soon.

I surely didn't give Bolts a fair shake, and never played any other titles after feeling I "lost" Banjo. I certainly need to try some of their other titles. Thanks for the recs

I'm sure it's more complicated than this, but I still hold a grudge against MS for seemingly destroying Rare. I never really looked into it but at a younger age I understood MS bought them and then they never made another actual B

Developing a new website for the open source game engine I work on. Nearly finished with it. https://zquestclassic.com It's a Zelda-like game engine with some 1000ish games made in it over 20 years. Used to be called Zelda

Yes, the FileSystem API works well. It's getting some improvements soon (at least from Chrome), currently requires renewing approval on every page load. https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?

Lots. See the "npm node_modules blackhole" meme. For one practical reason, confirming the quality of the code in node_modules is so impossible a task it just isn't even attempted. So people are shipping code they have 0 knowl

Signing the contents means you must unzip it to confirm its validity, which exposes users to the latent security bugs of their unarchival program (or a zip bomb).

If you don't distribute the program you don't need to care that it's built with GPL dependencies.
