Reordering destructors is not safe in C++, as it's fairly common to rely on objects being destroyed in reverse order and doing stuff like A a; B b(&a); In rust the borrow checker would guard against reordering such things,

There are two kinds of jobs: export jobs and local jobs. I mean export in a loose sense - not necessarily crossing country borders, but rather something that is transported to other regions. Export jobs like mining, an industry etc is the b

The thing with ram is that once you can fit everything you want into the space you have available there is little benefit in optimizing further or getting more space. 1gig -> 230MB may be a large enough reduction that it goes from "

Crazy thought but given that you have a pure sine frequency, maybe it would be possible to listen to an out of phase version of it to cancel. Same principle as noise cancelling except the noise is purely internal. Though I guess phase might

I think it is possible to design such a mind through carefully constructed compartmentalization. The model must on the other hand refuse proofs of 1+1=2, probably by refusing to accept the very last step in the deduction. And on the other h

I think you are taking that line of reasoning a little too far. The point of a scam is to trick people out of their belongings. There may be certain advantages of targeting and filtering for gullible people, but it's not the point it

(This is all obviously quite speculative) Self hosted local ai will go mainstream... but... it will be different from central ai. Local ai will be like a microchip in a dishwasher. It can perform small(and not so small) helpful tasks. The b

What will you do when the prompt was "Figure out the bug and write a report for me". Not saying it was in this particular case, but I think at least in other cases, it will be.

Serrated knives are for back and forth sawing, not slicing. Would the same go for a serrated tooth?

I think this is exactly it though. Instead of targeting the moving target of "correctness", we should be proving the absence of common defects. Proving that secrets CANNOT be downloaded is a very nice example actually: * Un

Restricting retail trading of derivatives and short positions doesn't sound like the worst idea.

A known bug with easily accessible proof-of-concept is quite different from a theoretical bug.

It should be mentioned that rust's type system has a long-standing known bug compromising memory safety, as made famous by cve-rs. It's perhaps not a big issue for most people but if you are someone that wants the assurances of #!

If we play a little fast and loose we can consider openai to be a chinese room made up of both artificial and human intelligence, and this "room" certainly seems to want to self-perpetuate.

I think the nature of mathematics is an interesting question without one clean answer. To present a radically different view of mathematics: It's a game of string transformations, where the goal is to produce specific strings given a s

This might work really well in practice idk, but I think it's not allowed by big O to pick a maximum supported size. Otherwise you could just make a lookup table. Your algorithm must be ready for anything.

I think the problem comes when you do a multiplication and you need more primes for uniqueness.

I think you could solve homelessness really simple by allowing something like a favela. It will be an eyesore so pick an area out of sight of rich people. Then split it into like idk 200sqft plots. Give everyone enough corrugated steel to b

One simple thing that LLM's doesn't have to do is use a calling convention. Compilers need to use them, at least to some extent because it's not known at compile time who will link against this function in the future. Humans

Doesn't that mean that if you have a slam dunk case you can get a super expensive lawyer just to run up costs as much as possible? Hell, could you ask your friend to be your legal representative and have him charge you a gorillion doll

My tinfoil hat says this isn't "spontaneous grassroots activism". Someone made this happen that benefits from this. Maybe a country that wants to mess with the Netherlands. Hell, it could even be a competing tech company. I h

Your whole strategy basically involves having more compute than the other guy so you can look one step further. And yeah in an AI world having more compute or some exclusive data seem like obvious ways to get a leg up.

Firefox is software rendered on linux-nvidia which leads to a bizarre situation of simple web animations lagging on decent computers.

While that's true I think that once the feed has been observed in a certain way the advantages of stability outweigh the advantages of showing a tweaked version the second time it is loaded.

Unix philosophy clearly favors and privileges certain methods of composition and interoperation. C-calls, program invocation, files and sockets/pipes. Calls inside various vms like lisp, java, python or wasm are not among those.

It's may seem like a nitpick but I think it's a whole different way off looking at it to phrase it as "applying a bugfix that changed the order of allocations at startup exposed memory corruption somewhere else" I do t
