They're working on it: Plans for nearly 4,000 homes over Safeways divide Bay Area residents https://skybrian-links.exe.xyz/post/871

That’s a generic algorithm, not an example. I mean specific examples. Like, people sharing things they did.

It’s probably a good idea to know how to use AI tools, but they certainly don’t have to be your only source of information.

Businesses are usually allowed to refuse service: "Sorry, we're closed" or "sir, this is a Wendy's." There's nothing dystopian about that. But it's a rather annoying service if the customer can't

Could you use the JSR package registry instead of setting up a new one?

> This branch is up to date with git/git:master. Is there anything to see here? There are 28.1k forks of git on Github. It's a normal thing to do when making pull requests. (Does git accept pull requests, though?)

Maybe, combined with a buffer, there need to be plans in place to get a factory up and running in six months? Or it could be running at a low level with plans to scale in six months.

I don't find empty platitudes like "you can just do things" all that inspiring. I prefer seeing a specific example of something you could do and an explanation about why it might help.

It's common sense now . It hasn't always been common sense that AI alignment is an important problem.

If you say you're doing research for a novel, should it consider that plausible? How much does it need to know about its users to vet them? I think part of the answer is that AI chat doesn't need to be general-purpose. It turned o

"Consistently wrong" seems a bit much. Seems like being directionally right early that AI would be a Big Deal and scary should count for something? It doesn't mean any details or other predictions are right, though.

Taalas has a pretty impressive proof of concept, but there's been no news about them recently. https://chatjimmy.ai/

You could rotate the inventory. Normally companies try to minimize inventory, but someone could pay them to keep six month’s or a year’s supply as a buffer.

Maybe research and development will speed up a bit, but I think it’s still going to require a lot of expensive experimenting in the real world.

Unfortunately, this report doesn’t tell us about resource usage per model call. It only tells us the numerator and we also need the denominator.

Depends on what kind of curve it is. 60% reliable is useless in most safety-related fields and getting to near-perfect reliability is tough.

You say "just" 15 years, but Waymo is still only available in a few cities. That seems more like a slow, cautious rollout to me, not a fast takeoff. Society has had a lot of time to get used to (and tired of) the idea and come up

It's unclear to me why they needed to compile Rust to WebAssembly to write a website. It looks like iroh has a JavaScript API: https://docs.iroh.computer/languages/javascript Edit: actually, that's a Node.js-

Military power, sure. In Ukraine they hit everything they can see. But during peacetime, you don't make money running a delivery service that way, so it's not going to replace those jobs.

The "and physical" is the part I'm particularly skeptical of. Sure, drones are scary, but nobody's really solved getting a robot to deliver a package to your front porch in a civilian setting, and it seems unlikely to be

> you couldn’t find out what time the movies were playing because moviephone just redirected you to their app Uh, movies are definitely not more "real" than YouTube videos and they're just as passive.

You don’t need a Mac Mini just for that, but they’re fairly inexpensive (or were anyway) and quality is very good. The people who buy them may never use all the performance available, but they’re more interested in convenience than getting

At that point does it make sense to use http/3 to avoid head-of-line blocking on the network?

What’s an example of a study that you think is convincing?

A more modern way to do this might be to support WebAssembly plugins. The extensions might need to be rewritten, but hey, we have AI for that now, so why not :-)

Before Facebook, after people lost touch with their high school or college friends, they often didn't have a good way to get back in touch again. This is harder to do accidentally now, for better or worse. But I suppose there are lots

I wonder if it would help to ask it to write a rough draft and then reorder it?

I think it's still useful in a "hello world" sort of way. It means you actually tried the new model.

If you can’t resolve imports to source files then no static analysis tools will work. So, it has to be plugged into the compiler somehow.

The TypeScript compiler is (was) slow, but you don’t need it to minify code. This sounds like some other problem with the tools in your project’s build. (There are faster tools available these days.) A faster type checker will help with per
