Not sure of the details but it's an interpreter, so I believe it executes the wasm bytecode using its own VM, so there is overhead, where instead a compiler would generate optimized machine code linked with a wasm runtime for the targe

Have you seen the Tom Cruise deepfakes? I mean, if you can reliably detect deepfakes like this[0] then the product could be better sold as deepfake detection software. [0]: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n3dPBiQa5bw

IRC was the first protocol I implemented back in the days. It's so simple you don't even need a client, telnet is enough to get you chatting. I miss this directness.

If the argument is "everybody thinks that" then that's the form of learned helplessness I talked about, which is why I asked here, to hear some pragmatic reasons. The only argument I hear being repeated is the same vague &quo

It's an honest question. I just don't see that question ever being asked by anyone, to me they don't make too much sense. I understand there'd be a period where things would get messy but won't we eventually reach a

Why do we still have borders? Is it a form of learned helplessness? As a European travelling freely inside the Schengen zone is one of the most amazing things and you can argue it has stopped war among those countries. What is the problem o

I agree, I'd love to be able to explicitly annotate a certain function for pre-optimization even if there was some initialization cost but that would also guarantee its performance throughout the app's lifetime. I'm not sure

V8 JS is equally fast or even faster for the same code after 3-4 runs . Cold paths, however, are usually 2 orders of magnitude slower than what you can achieve with WASM, for the same code. So it kind of depends on what you're buildin

That's why there is a profession, to make these kinds of judgements. But what is the alternative? People that are going for medication don't usually have many choices. If it wasn't too taboo and there wasn't so much misi

I agree with the supervision part but imagine you're a doctor, you have these meds at your disposal and someone comes to you suffering with what you assess to be a condition that you know a certain med is 90% effective. Wouldn't y

I don't understand when people complain about Yet Another Framework. There isn't a single solution to everything. When there are plenty of unknowns and you're working solo, you need a very thin layer that lets you craft a pro

Maybe the previous universe's black hole evaporation ripples cause enough chaos effect for the new universe to be different so even though the whole system is deterministic, it could always be different because of that effect. We live

If neurons are transform functions that simultaneously act as storage and action mechanisms for those transform domains, in a manner vaguely similar to FFT and IFFT, then the Internet as a whole would be a mind. Its nodes (us and our algori

The body is basically zillions of electrodes wired to the brain. If we discover the patterns we could -in principle- induce them through vision, hearing or skin pulses. Binaural beats (aka "computer drugs") also come to mind.

This is a perfect demonstration on how subjectively we interpret text. Our minds fill in the blanks, we read what we want to read as long as the text is above some certain threshold of coherence, that apparently GPT-3 has tipped over. This
