I guess there will always be people who think in black and white. I'm pretty sure that if Stallman had been born in the 19th century, he would have been the first to write "The Communist Manifesto" before the other two guys h

Same here, I imagined some remorseful ex-killer confessing some dark deed from way back in their youth. I guess it's related, but not quite the same thing. Good story though.

To be honest, what can you talk about when you're a big shot dictator and your conversation partner is an even bigger dictator than you are? The weather? Or the latest invasion that you've launched? That's probably boring, so

Interesting topic. And legibility is also an interesting word choice for this. I've always thought of the thing he describes as a dichotomy between the formal/official way of doing things (like you would communicate and work with

The way I think of it, talking to an LLM is a bit like talking to myself or listening to an echo, since what I get back depends only on what I put in. If it senses that I'm frustrated, it will be inclined to make even more stuff up in

Got roped into watching the whole video. He obviously loves C++. And since I actually enjoyed it, I suppose that also tells something about me. Also read up on sheafification really quick. Neither Firefox nor Chrome seem aware of it (red un

Delightfully weird and niche article. And I wouldn't be surprised if there were more retired left handed surgeons in their 50s living in rural Switzerland than people who understand what he's talking about.

For some reason while reading this, I thought of Erlang, a language I know nothing about, except that it's not a visual language and it's build out (many) processes, kind of like a tiny internet with server and client nodes that c

Modern AI is built on data. Trusting that our conversations will not be used for training the model is a bit like giving a glutton their favourite food but making them promise not to eat it. Sure, why not. I still expect that our conversati

I think what matters most is that we now know that it's possible, that a computer mimicking most of our abilities (but not all) which we have long considered intelligent is obviously possible in some indeterminate future. It's not

I think you would have really enjoyed living in the '50s, when the future was bright and colonizing Mars was basically a solved problem. What we got instead is a bunch of wisecracking programmers who like to remind everyone of the 90–9

That was a just plot twist (play against another DK), not a badly designed puzzle. They are very different. The author is complaining that because the game didn't warn him to change his strategy, he was unfairly beaten and forced to re

The critique about the game betraying his trust is something only a contemporary player could come up with. Back then, this type of complaint would simply not have crossed anyone's mind, not even in people who didn't like the game

I don't know what will come in the future, but to me it's obvious that any variation of LLMs, no matter how advanced won't replace a skilled human who knows what they're doing. Through no fault of their own, but they&#x2

So if I understand correctly, it's basically down between: 1. cure cancer 2. fix the economy 3. keep everybody happily employed. And he's saying we can only pick two, or pick one. Except for the last one, that's not really an
