Do we think humans are better off if the world has more intelligence? The answer is undoubtedly yes IF that intelligence is distributed rather than concentrated. Further concentration of intelligence (power) would be detrimental. Edit to cl

Even in the impossible scenario that 100% of users paid, they would start introducing ads elsewhere like for higher bitrate/resolution. Those ad spots are valuable. Ads are Google's main businesses, they should be responsible for

Any policy that disincetivizes growth by unsustainable practices is good policy IMO. We need less companies who's end goal is getting acquired, and more that are in it to build a self sustainable business. Having employee motivation hi

No thanks, I'd rather not live in a dystopian nightmare where Sam Altman is in control of assigning proof of humanity. Worldcoin will undoubtedly end up assigning identities to AIs for profit anyway, and/or there will be swaths of

I think blame may lie more on lobbyists than politicians. Though the fact that politicians haven't fixed the problems with lobbying doesn't look so good either.

That's a formality. Once major browsers ship WebGPU without flags, the spec itself can actually be codified as a standard rather than draft. And I'm sure Deno will follow suit in the version after that event. Based on current prog

Small correction: It wasn't rolled back due to instability, it was because it increased deno startup time even for programs that weren't making use of WebGPU apis. That is no longer the case this time around. As someone who detest

by notnullorvoid 3y ago
No it's not. WGPU (a WebGPU renderer built with rust) which is what Deno is using under the hood in this change, works perfectly well and is used by many other projects. Even if that were not the case Chrome's WebGPU implementatio

How does allowing 3rd party app stores negatively affect the elderly? Just like Android the ability to install 3rd party apps and stores would likely be off by default and you'd need to enable it in the settings. And even after enablin

Wow, took a look at the ForEach code to better understand. That's a very novel approach.

Domain names do get lost if you forget to renew or your payment info isn't up to date. You could argue that's caused by carelessness, but so is losing a private key.

by notnullorvoid 3y ago
There are ways to securely backup private keys. Loosing your domain name is a far worse. Not only will you not get it back, but whoever owns it now will get all your web traffic. In contrast even if you loose the private key, you could cont

Big companies like Google are already doing this without AI. Will AI make the services more tempting? Yes, but there's also a lot of headway in open source AI and search, which could serve to topple people's reliance on big tech.

For arrays, did you end up taking the diffing/memoization approach like solid? I've yet to see any framework have O(1) collection mutation reactivity.

Apple does get flak for this, just less so from Apple users. The browser restriction on iOS could thankfully come to an end thanks to EU regulation. Though one down side, is that will serve to grow Chrome's market share even further.

Domain names in general are a flawed idea. Had public/private key pair cryptography been further along at the beginning of the web, I think we would have wound up with something like public keys that users add a nickname to. Similar to

PR review is an async process, you can't expect your teammates to drop what they are working on in order to review a PR. This is something you can bring up in your stand-up or message channel if the PR has been sitting without a review

They are not suggesting hazing. I don't doubt that you experienced hazing. Being vigilant with new hires to assure assignment on code quality and design is not hazing though. If someone has legitimate concerns about the design decision

I would hesitate to call MacOS flawless. When I had to use it (m1 pro), it had more issues than Fedora with gnome (which has virtually no issues on the 4 systems I have running it). MacOS wouldn't work with thunderbolt dock, wouldn&#x2

It's not compression. Compression implies the input can be reconstructed from the output (lossy or not), in the case of these ml models the input is the training data and the output is the model. You can't reconstruct even a fract

Ahh okay wasn't aware the encodings were different, after taking a glance at spec it seems much better than what I pessimistically envisioned. 2 NaNs, and -0 still seem like a bad call (-0 could have been the singular NaN), but I guess

Floats seem like a pretty bad data format for ML (Also in general). Infinity, NaN, -0 all useless. NaNs in particular have multiple binary representations so waste extra space. Not sure why more effort isn't being put toward Posits, or

Here's an idea, for a kind of soft rollout. Implement a optional feature for 2021-edition crates that allow specifying Leak. The trait has no effect in 2021. In next-edition: - 2021 crates that turned Leak feature uses it just as a nex

Not so for Apple SSDs, upgrading from a 256GB to 2TB SSD is an extra $720 (US), when in reality top of the line 2TB nvme SSDs cost about $150. It's insane to me that people accept Apple's massive markup.

You pay a premium pretty much everywhere else too, it's just much less of a premium than Apple in most cases.

I agree that CJS needs to go, and the sooner the better. However it's slightly irritating hearing this presented on the Deno blog. Deno is no better when it comes to causing issues for library authors who want to provide cross runtime
