I'm wondering whether this will set off a wave of folks working on AGI given that today the tools are way more accessible.

Is there room for a company that provides managed services that take care of the compliance aspects (don't know how, but say if this were possible) and indemnifies their clients? Would that rekindle the creation of smaller firms that m

The IDs you get (both deviceID and groupID) are not user displayable. They're like random numbers. In normal browsing mode, you keep getting the same deviceIDs for the same domain, but random groupIDs for every refresh. You get differe

That's reasonable for just output selection. So shouldnt be able to send audio to all the devices? .. and different audio streams? .. which is all commonplace in the desktop world.

I think this is mistaken. The device API supposedly provides this, but the info you get is always generic due to fingerprinting protection. Also, AudioContext is expected to be active only when created within a user action like a button cli

I wrote a small JS "framework" that's not even worth that name, but which works well enough by decoupling components CSP style. The HTML rendering part was not the most complex piece in the system (it was webaudio code, wasm,

This stuff is close-to-heart for me as FRP (and Elliott's work in general) greatly inspired my thinking over the years. Here are a few instances where the drive to be denotational in api design led to very satisfactory results. This is

I kind of like thinkibg of mathematics and language as technology for the mind - in the sense that both enable you to think thoughts that you otherwise may not have been able to think .. and to teach others how to do it, thereby transferrin

Did you test out ARDB [1] when you chose SSDB? I've been considering these for a while since I know I'm going to hit that choice point though that's not happened yet. [1] https://github.com/yinqiwen/ardb

Most likely yes. But, as I noted in another comment, that would still be interesting since we can test for entanglement on a larger scale. I'm kind of expecting error correction to "evolve" in the iterations. Robustness can c

Well, trivially that's a yes. However, the "specification level breach" property of A.T.'s work is what intrigued me - i.e. the circuits are specified to do a digital task, but work in an analog manner - constructing ant

I've had my eyes on Adrian Thompson's genetically evolved FPGA circuits for a while now - they do amazing things very economically and exploit analog circuit properties. So I've always wondered what if we make unreliable but

XMPP for this purpose feels like an overkill. Open Sound Control might be an interesting alternative. After all, like MQTT, it originated in a world where equipment needed to talk to each other.

Research that demonstrates, say, 1000x reduction in power for training a known problem (ex: mnist) won't be considered irrelevant by the community. So is there a specific need to bias against large works apart from the carbon footprint

Stuff like CloudFlare Workers and Fastly's Terrarium offer some interesting options - run WASM or JS at the edge. Maybe this can get enough compute done with low overhead and close to the user, which could push Lambda-like functionalit

All that is assuming that you do know for certain the evolution did NOT exploit it. There is some extrapolative argument that hints at the contrary. Adrian Thompson's evolved FPGA circuits exploited a single chip's underlying phys

The age old solution to this problem continues to work just fine - have jitter-tolerant low frequency scheduler callbacks that schedule events using an accurate clock (sample time) a short way (100ms or so) into the future. That way you get

A bit of a shameless plug - I did a short course for programmers at my company whose purpose was to introduce people to programming paradigms by constructing a language semantics first in JS. The language is forth-like for simplicity and I
