Technology needs creative minds to make it work meaningfully, they have an excellent track record here and deserve this. I wouldn't want to be Tom Cruise right now ...

Yes. It's imperfect but that's the way it is, it's already in place with 'Nuclear Non Proliferation' [1] and many other things. It's a 'free world' until interests are threatened, then you see where t

Where are the regulations around combat teams hiding in Nuclear Power plants? Artillery shells landing 500ft from reactors? Small quasi-accidents happening because one regime wants to 'blame it' on another? Nuclear staff being loc

Nuclear has a fundamentally different risk profile. Nuclear failures mean possibly a hugely disproportionate number of deaths, entire regions unusable, and very risky externalizations such as someone using waste to make most of Manhattan un

'Sovereignty' is a social construct. Most social groups do not allow children or crazy people to have guns, and they enforce a whole range of other rules as well. This notion that 'that group is sovereign' but 'that

? There is no analogy here. There are no existential risks from Oil. Danger is small and proportional to an installation. You have a big refinery fire and five people die? That could happen with any tech. Fukishima is unusable for generatio

Different risk profiles. Oil accidents are limited and proportional. Nuclear accidents have massive externalizations. Fukishima and Chernobyl are unlivable. Waste from Nuclear can do such damage in other places. Other forms of energy do not

Again, this is less about the AI than the institutional filters OpenAI uses. It's probably not a hugely important issue, but worthy of some discussion.

Apple and Google will do what the EU tells them to do in the end.

This is the issue with nuclear in general. In short, we are not responsible enough. If we were fully responsible as people, we could do it. Once rich countries did it, poor countries would demand it, and they are especially unprepared. A bi

With rust you have to specify type, usually a container/reference type, and annotate lifetimes of everything you pass around. You literally do none of that in Python. You don't even declare variables. They are totally on the oppos

I'll give you that. And if someone is really in the 'zen' with a language, I can see them being quick on the draw. And it depends a lot on the project and deps. as well.

I loathe to say you must be doing something wrong. I mean objectively it really should not be the case! There is literally a ton more you have to write and do for the same thing in Rust. You get runtime safety and performance as a benefit,

Web2 had obvious applications that were working. Web3 has been talked about forever, and it's mostly just hype and scams. To the point where if someone even says 'Web3' I assume it's rubbish, even though I accept there a

F22 is stealthier and has better radar packages, more oriented towards air superiority. F22 is designed to completely dominate the sky. F35 was originally designed to be a multi-role fighter, it's still that, but not cheap. And has som

Google is still the king 'finder'. That's what it will probably continue doing well. Chat GPT is a bit more like Siri, and I think whatever it becomes, it will be a new kind of space. And it won't quite be 'search&#

Agreed on FB but TT is another thing altogether. I guess Quality matters.

Devil's advocate, I'm going to guess you do not want exactly that and you'd be happier with a quality alg. There is far, far too much information out there, and the things outputted from the things you follow is a 'decen

You haven't made any kind of argument, but I can fathom from your tone about 'ChatGPT' that there is something inherently wrong with generated code. I suggest you're implied reasoning is wrong: if it's a tool and it

Can someone answer how we go about the single-source-of truth problem in this distributed scenario? Or does this approach guarantee consistency among all synced data so that they are all effectively the same? I can see how this would be use

"Only Rust gives you complete memory safety with fine-grained control over memory management strategy." Yes, and it comes at a cost. Pay that cost for those advantages if necessary. Otherwise, use something else.

Most C++ apps are mostly memory safe and that's just fine. It's ridiculous to suggest that this secondary artifact concern is raised to primacy for all projects. Rust V1 is a vastly complicated and verbose language, slow to make,

Rust will not replace C++. Everything is thrown out the window, including developer productivity in order to provide the 'zero overhead runtime guarantee' feature. The code ends up quite laborious, and it's just not suitable

That's definitely the elephant in the room. And the fact that it does not have clean and easy C integration. If you could do direct memory stuff and control the ARC stuff, and easily integrate with C ... ... and the docs were clean, an
