Do those numbers look big to you? Looks to me like I could host a DNS root server in my garage with a normal consumer grade gigabit fiber connection. For infrastructure hosted in a legit data center, this is nothing.

I wonder how often things we observe are actually farther away than they seem, they're just rapidly moving towards us relative to their surroundings, or vice versa. Seems like it's totally possible that something could be 4 billio

Hey look, a decentralized chatbot running BLOOMZ-176B (an open source LLM about the size of GPT-3) http://chat.petals.ml I'm contributing to the project by running a node in my garage with a single RTX 3060ti in it, and you

Unconscious bias is really really hard to get past in job interviews. People have this weird instinct where they want to work with the kinds of people that they've worked with in the past. A well implemented DEI program nudges the scal

Generally, you would only care about up-votes from people you trust, and if you vote down stuff that your friends up-voted, then your trust level in those friends would be reduced, rapidly turning down the volume on the other stuff that the

I would hope that in some cases, if their friends and loved ones start explicitly signaling their distrust of NewsMax or whatever, then their likelihood of seeing content from shitty sources would decrease, slowly extracting them from the h

Yes, I think a lot of work needs to be done around content labeling. Getting away from simple up/down, and labeling content that you think is funny, spammy, insightful, trusted, etc. I don't think any centralized platform has gott

Imagine a world where the only content you see is from publishers that you trust, and that your friends trust, and their friends, to maybe 4 or 5 hops or so, and the feed was weighted by how much they are trusted by your particular social g

Only if your religion and/or political party requires hatred, dehumanization, or expulsion of minorities. Justifying hatred by saying that it's part of your political or religious ideology is a pretty weak excuse. Obviously that s

They still flag ToS violations, and I'm pretty sure if you hit them enough, they do ban you.

Apple's stranglehold over the public school system where I'm at, in the 90s up until 2010 or so, was an absolute atrocity. Chromebooks are infinitely better.

First off, Google is in no way a walled garden. Every Google product makes their data easily exportable to a variety of open source and commercial alternatives. Second, how does the Google system primarily prepare people for the Apple eco

3k-5k isn't a normal day, it's what happens during a binge. I would almost never do that after a workout, I would usually just writhe in pain from the hunger for the rest of the day. I rarely go over 2k calories during a normal da

I've been waiting for one of those factory simulator games to have something where when you pass some certain level in the game, it goes into Enders Game mode, and players start controlling machines in real factories. Users could even

What part of ENS doesn't meet your expectations? It wasn't designed to replace DNS, but there are an increasing number of people using it for that.

Ha, what? Tips are income, and you need to pay taxes on those too. Sounds like your bartender was committing tax fraud. Not a great idea to cheat on your taxes, and then buy a house with it.

That sounds neat. For me, after I exercise, I get ravenously hungry and am unable to concentrate for the rest of the day unless I eat a 3-5k calorie meal. I heard it would get better over time, so I did it for a year, one hour with a really

Seems like in another era you might get upset at the invention of the record player, because now poor people would have the ability to listen to music without having to pay to see it live. Yes, better tools for making art means more art w

Have you used LaMDA? Unsure if you've used the magical internal version, but the version that's available to the general public is terrible . I was so excited to get access to the AI Test Kitchen app, but even today, it strictly

In the case of seL4, don't confuse formal verification with security. The code matches the spec, and security properties can be extracted very precisely, but spec might contain oversights/bugs which would allow an attacker to perf

It would have been so easy for Apple to just be cool and follow some open standards rather than building their own proprietary network to drive a wedge in global messaging networks. It seems to me that the only reason SMS is still a thing i

Seems trivial to me to bolt on some critical thinking filters. Right now ChatGPT acts like pure Amygdala. You poke it, and it spits out something that looks right based on what it was trained on. This is fine, it's just a demo, and thi

Right now the lines are kind of blurred between people who make great art, and people who have the technical skills to create nice graphical imagery. Lets say that someone gets a character design dropped on their desk, and are told to creat

How about we let people generate their own keys, then use those keys to make identity claims, when people can generate on their own, or which can be generated by a third party. That gives multiple options to bind identities to arbitrary soc

The movie also did a lot to turn the public against the emerging field of genetic engineering, and science in general. Even 25 years later, people cite GATTACA as a reason to avoid vaccines. It seems to me that the overwhelming takeaway fro

With the Higgs, we got the mass, which was not predicted by any of the theoretical models. We were basically done at that point. With LIGO we got tons of tangible data of black holes colliding. Fusion is not useful until Q>1, and for N
