Pidgin supports lots of protocols, including xmpp, via plugins. It just sounds like they choose to make breaking changes to the plugin API for v3. I'd expect popular protocols to get ported at some point before GA.

My guess is it would break stuff like `ps x`, but ideally tools that use the procfs would gracefully degrade in cases like this?

One thing to note about command line arguments on Linux is, any user can typically inspect `/proc/{pid}/cmdline` and get the full command line used to start the process. So if you pass secrets like API keys, passwords, etc,

Or maybe the temperature is set too high! Probably don't start with a single LLM response as the basis for your understanding of scientific consensus.

If the object is already in orbit, the debris from an FTS activation would also mostly be left in orbit, which isn't great. They really need to demonstrate the ability to de-orbit the vehicle before putting into orbit.

They kind of already do this. There's a "Summarize page" item in the hamburger dots next to each search result that appears to send an LLM off to read the page, and fill out an element under the search result with a summary.

Again, the comparison made was about tooling around Go/JS. What Go, the language, is or isn't typically used for is utterly irrelevant to that comparison.

by jpk 2y ago
It doesn't. The original comparison to Go here was in terms of opinionated defaults with respect to tooling. Go became a popular language for distributed systems, backend web, CLI tools, etc, in part because of the batteries-included

Is that a fair critique given that GUI applications aren't really Go's target market?

Yep, back when programming language syntax started trending toward more natural language, compiler development was considered AI research. Which makes sense, because in an era of assembly on punch cards, computers that could translate high

No, this is different. A local bubble populated with a normal-ish distribution of people is different from a distributed bubble populated with people who became grouped either voluntarily or algorithmically. For example: https:/&#x2F

Ok, so based on another comment in this thread, your concrete concern is something like: the math that happens during inference could do some side-channel shenanigans that exploits a hardware-level vulnerability to do something . Where

> running them at all is the "high-risk situation" What is the actual, concrete concern here? That a model "breaks out", or something? The risk with AI is not in just running models, the risk is becoming overconfiden

Now knowing that small quantities of space dust settle on our roofs, I presume you'd have to reach some safe distance from populated planets before using such an engine?

In the same realm as "Go", but we seem to get by searching with "golang".

I'm reminded of how trademarks work: If you don't bother to defend them, then you lose them. Maybe copyright should be the same way: If you're not distributing copies any longer, you lose the copyright protection.

Since nobody bothered to explain their downvotes, I'll say it: This is a pretty uncharitable reading of the quoted comment.

I mean, I didn't say it was. Most things worth doing aren't easy. Listen, all I'm saying is we should strive for something better than to be content with producing lots of obese people and then "fix" them with dru

There are cultures in which obesity is rare and yet they achieve it without drugs and surgery. That itself is pretty strong evidence that the claim that they're the only things that could possibly help is wrong. I'm glad those a

That's certainly a take, but without reasoning or evidence, this isn't a very interesting comment.

I'm not sure you completed the thought. You put forward civil war as the outcome of widespread distrust in institutions, but then gave an example of society continuing to function just with greater discomfort, inefficiency, and crime.
