For the overwhelming majority of cases, the difference is one is the motte and the other the bailey. Maybe there are some out there that are truly nationalists without feeling superior, but this has got to be very rare. If you didn't b

I remember the previous post and find it weirdly compelling - the cruft and leftovers as technology evolves is interesting - it's like the appendix of monotype. I'm looking forward to the movie adaptation where he drives himself c

Ad networks fudged the numbers for many years, free just isn't as viable as thought. I don't mind paying - either for a service or for server costs of hosting my own instance or whatever - and I certainly don't mind paying re

I found it funny that the same developer made a game based on the "My Dinner With Andre" joke from Simpsons that complains that you can't make quirky indie games with 1-2 people funded by corporations who just want to drop th

If I had to guess it would be on some private mod chat like discord or something, and probably more than one subreddit mod group decided independently since it's a known way to protest. I am curious too, but it grew so quickly that est

I don't remember seeing him post anything about calling for a blackout, but his posts definitely kicked off my awareness and I think many others as well. I'd be very interested to see if he mentioned it before the 10th, which IIRC

Your previous comment didn't include any evidence, but these are pretty interesting. The second one is more damning, but again the majority of studies were on smokers. I'll update my statement and say there is little evidence that

I think cargo cult is an interesting way of thinking of intrinsic motivations of addiction, and useful as a personal tool to assist breaking addictive cycles, whereas Skinner is a more scientific view of external effects. I mean, I agree th

Everyone learns these things from different places! I used to get annoyed at content explaining things I already knew well until I realized that I once learned it from somewhere that wasn't the "original place". I forget who

We're talking about nicotine, not smoking. There is no evidence that nicotine is carcinogenic. https://www.cancerresearchuk.org/about-cancer/causes-of-canc... > Nicotine is the chemical that makes cigarettes ad

Slight clarification: Nicotine at normal doses is not more harmful than coffee - though at high volumes it is pretty bad. In the context of this conversation though what you said is totally true.

Yeah, it would pique interest, as I said "would be interesting enough to learn more though." - but I'm responding to the comment saying his reaction would be "“holy cow this is the future and I want to be a part of this”

That sama tweet is very effective, he's known to be the real deal, his startup is known to have external funding and therefore validating, and the humor shows the work environment. A real equivalent would be a nobody, with no external

As someone who prefers working in fast paced environments and have responded to calls like this in the past, I have found that people who say "I want someone who moves fast" often are really bad at managing and have unrealistic vi

As some with ~120 AHI (> 30 is considered severe) I often go camping with a battery. I can only do long stays at places with a charging station. Also I've found that hammock camping helps a lot since position affects how bad it is.

“to help pioneer commerce on the Internet.” - In 1994, this would have intrigued me, in 2004 I would view with skepticism, in 2014 I would laugh “you should be able to do so in about one-third the time” - No matter the era, this kind of lan

Me too - think I used it for a day or too - even though it wasn't very useful I have a soft spot because it was such a cute design and I could tell it was a good idea too early for it's time

For everyone who believes there is real danger from AI - consider this - talking about doomsday scenarios and hyping existing technology hurts more than it helps. It might feel like "the time has finally come to talk about alignment&qu

The idea that this Grusch guy just doesn't get jokes and brought some offhand comment all the way to whistleblower status is pretty funny. Honestly this guy seems pretty competent and I'd sooner believe a psyop or Meta paying some

I can see this in Minsky time period AI research, but surely with the number of people getting into AI and coming from a purely practical right now I would expect that mindset to be diluted. As someone not in the know I could very well be w

The first time I heard Carlos on a college radio station I had to stop and pull over - it was as close to a sea change moment in my life as anything - at the end of the day she was/is a human being and it sucks that she has to be an ic

Previous comment was about optimizations, though I can see how it was confusing. Someone said: "Question to pros: Things like constant propagation, loop unrolling, TCO, memory reuse etc., seem simple in theory. Yet why do languages en

Out of the box LLVM optimizations won't do much if you put work in preoptimizing. I think this is even mentioned in docs. IIRC they say that the generic optimizations only really work on naive IR generation and that more mature project

Other than the first response, which seems to be just the most basic eli5 way of answering the question (and probably not helpful to original question), this has some pretty solid answers on the difficulty that might not be obvious to someo

A language is like the most flexible user interface possible - anything can be combined with anything else. Imagine how many edge cases, exceptions, quirks, etc you would have to manage and have it still work. Sure you can limit your scope

"designing an IR" may or may not be hard - designing a close-to-optimal generic IR that can be sourced from many different languages and target many different backends, each with their own idiosyncrasies on both ends may not even
