GPT passed a test on the theoretical fundamentals of selling and serving wine in fancy restaurants. In a human passing such a test provides a useful signal of job suitability because people who pass it are often also capable of the physical

I see. I missed that because it's quite tangential. WashPo didn't miss the point by not talking about it.

Twitter used to be the best tech company in the world at resisting government censorship. They routinely fought governments around the world in court, including in the US. Now they aren't. For example they recently did global censorshi

The question is not whether it's open source, the question is what it is.

In the context of technical books "source code for" often means "source code for [readers of the book to reference while reading]" rather than "source code for [building the book]"

yes, but the bar for better was much lower back then. if you released the original Facebook today it would be so obviously so much worse than the competitors it wouldn't get any traction.

When Facebook was founded there was no Facebook. Now there is a Facebook. When there's a better alternative customers are less likely to try out your new, less good idea. Can you give an example of someone serious using IPFS instead of

The use case here is that I'm in a different physical location to the computer and want to remotely connect and run everything I'm working on on the remote computer in my remote window manager, including a browser and ide and term

I want to login to my computer over some remote protocol (i.e vnc, rdp), execute "sudo systemctl reboot", wait a little, and log in again. For this I think I need remote access to a logged out session, which as of my last check is

It's less "good guy with a gun" and more "some random country with a small to medium army". Access to violence doesn't democratize on the individual level, but as the parent comment alludes to weapons changes a

For plenty of banks that's not the case. For ex Wells Fargo charges $10/month if your balance is less than $500[1]. That's a big deal for some people. Ally Bank offers no minimum, but they're online only and reimburse fo

Can you see many replies by the BBC? Genuine question, I just get a Twitter frontend error when I open the replies tab. (In Musk's defense, I got this sort of error frequently pre-acquisition). If it's mostly top-level posts that

One of my favorite parts of Rust is just how little magic there is. Go to the docs for NonZeroU8 and click source. The code is macro heavy to template out all the different nonzeros so it's not very readable to beginners. But you can s

Yes, but generally for completely legitimate reasons. One example is a tool for flashing code to a embedded device. It's aimed at beginners, so not requiring an install is valuable. It means even kids with locked down Chromebooks can t

We can and do reasonably infer mental states from actions. If someone knows they are sending innocent people to prison, benefits from doing so, and continues doing so we can reasonably infer they lack morality.

Reminds me of the study that found a massive change in GPT's proficiency at identifying primes. It switched from always guessing composite to always guessing prime. Much less accurate.

It's incorrect to say AOT is always faster than JIT (without profile guided optimization). And it's reasonable to call jit-eligible code sometimes compiled.

> Use of pointers required a written, approved, variance from the SW standards board. All the code was formally peer reviewed by at least 6 people. More complicated code would be reviewed by 20+ people - in the same room.
