this is cool and all but it’s not even close to AGI. it’s a sophisticated gimmick. to go meta, I don’t believe that our way of approaching AI in general is going to get us to AGI. Why? Assume for a second that we could build something that

BMC is the hardware, iLO is the interface. you can also have other types of interfaces but in the end it’s still a BMC. a chip that sits on the southbridge of the server and has management capabilities (power operations and access to the un

if you want to be really scared read: http://fish2.com/ipmi/itrain.pdf all servers in a datacenter have this management interface (iLO is just one type). if the management network these sit on is poorly secured (like h

hah. famous last words. SQL is beautiful. I allows non-developers to actually work with data in ways more flexible and extensible that most notations/languages out there.

so this depends on the database engine and while in general it may follow a pattern there are no guarantees. To dig deeper: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Query_plan https://www.khanacademy.org/computin

you know, i saw Stallman at a conference once and the nice people at FSF were also there. FSF as a whole is doing important work and liked the talks they gave and how they were talking about some of the issues ivolved. Stallman on the other

yeah. you obviously don’t get how bitcoin wallets work. you can have more that one address associated with the wallet and you can spend out of multiple addresses. there are also ways to anonymize the addresses (not to mention that you can c

the working assumption is that an attack like this is really hard to pull off (financial and technical barriers). Also, the older the blocks in the chain, the harder it is (the more new blocks you have to compute and propagate).

maybe. my experience has been that most people that say they use k8s manage the whole thing. people that use k8s on gcp usually mention gcp.

by mirceal 7y ago
yes. i realize, but having a 3rd part manage the control plane for you != you managing the control plane. again, this comes down to delegating the work to someone that does this for a living. You could say you're using k8s at that poin

there is more than one type of dave. there is the “jump on it, run it in production and make it the next guy’s problem dave” and there is the “play with it to learn what it is in a safe context/env dave”. you can definitely stay up-to-

developers don’t triage their own bugs (mostly) but the difference is that one issue is implicit at PR time while the other is explicit (actual bugs filing - this means that apart from fixing they occur the overhead of actually having Jira&

yes. we probably have different definitions for AGI. For me artificial means that it’s facilitated and/or accelerated by humans. You can get to the point where there are 0 biological parts and my earlier point is that there would proba

I'm no Carmack but I do watch what is happening in the AI space somewhat closely. IMHO "brain" or intelligence cannot exist in void - you still need an interface to the real world and some would go as far as to say that consc

you're assuming that AGI is going to come from ML. While interesting I strongly believe that ML is not going to generate anything close to AGI ever. ML is more like our sense organs that it is to our brain. It can take care o processin

I believe that 100 years is optimistic. I would say that it's hundreds of years away if it's going to happen at all. My bet is that humans will go the route of enhancing themselves via hardware extensions and this symbiosis will c
