Er... No that's not a meaningful critique. There's no framework that doesn't assume it's a random process. The point is to find out how likely each step is to occur, randomly .

All addressed in TFA. The author writes multiple times that this is experimental, would be a drop in the bucket, and brings its own power cost to implement - and that GAW is in no way intended to directly "fix" web power consumpti

I've rebuilt multiple gatsby projects in NextJS recently, and mostly it's actually been pretty nice. However, the crazy high level of abstraction and black-boxing does mean occasionally we run into bugs caused by undocumented beha

Since I don't use LLMs to directly code for me, I'm going to (mis?)place my trust in Kagi assistant entirely for the time being. It claims not to associate prompts with individual accounts. Small friction of keeping a browser tab

public/private isn't a binary, it's a spectrum. we Americans mostly sit in the shithole middle ground where our data is widely disseminated among private, for-profit actors, for the explicit purpose of being used to manipul

I have more complaints about this shitty article than it is worth. At least it's clearly a human screed, not LLM generated. Just say you won't honor it and move on.

The question was framed that way but in fact this conversation isn't about your personal resistance to a particular scam vector. Many sites do offload 100% of their emailing to 3rd party trackers. Therefore nobody can use those sites w

Yes, safety is a limiter on development velocity one way or another. I don't know whether "plotting harm" is a critical ability for passing some invisible threshold in not-well-defined intelligence. But building AI to avoid b

Like many situations in the current world, it's all a problem . Those with profit incentives to do so will create as many problems for society as they can. None of it is merely a distraction, we just don't have the capacity to de

That's all been thought of, yeah. No, AGI isn't a good thing. We should expect it to go badly, because there are so many ways it could be catastrophic. Bad outcomes might even be the default without intervention. We have virtual

sic semper operarius. you will never be given your time back by an employer. you have to take it. you might be able to ask for it, but it won't be freely given, whether or not you become more efficient. LLM chatbots and agents are, in

hell, i'm actually even ok with a browser openly having a political stance[1] and i also hate the way firefox communicates. the colorway thing (not the word itself; that's standard design terminology the OP ranter isn't aware
