Could the WASM runtime eventually be shared like that? Also, is there a reason why the overhead is so large compared to Flash?

I wonder if those issues can't be somewhat mitigated with a linter or interactive emulator. In any case, I think assembly is more uniformly difficult (and not portable!), while unsafe Rust generally feels less painless but you might ha

Which ones? I assume at least the 1:1 machine code kind doesn't, and you mean something more like bytecode, but it'd be interesting if I'm wrong on that count.

> unsafe Rust is still safer than raw assembly I don't think I would go that far. Assembly doesn't have undefined behavior, and especially not with the strict constraints around references as in Rust. The safe/unsafe dicho

I can't help but feel that between events and commands, and especially with all the parallelism, there's no clean, powerful solution to manage all manner of inter-system interactions. Having .before(), .after(), .chain(), differen

I suspect that we won't have the computing power or neurological understanding to create such an AI anytime soon. Even if human thought can be reduced to networks of chemical-filled membranes, the timescale and population involved in n

As I understand it, many "laws" in science, such as Ohm's law, also emerge from this sort of "neatness at scale".

But articles shouldn't have to teach readers all the background needed. Otherwise even a well written article would get a lot of bloat. Even linking other guides would require some context, and the total breadth of knowledge could be q

But then what is "good" and what is "evil"? Is that from the perspective of the UN? And I find the excerpt in question a weird way to express that rights shouldn't be used against others. I agree with the principle,

Even if I try to read it charitably, I can't make much sense out of what that means. It doesn't sound like "we of the United Nations will never betray these ideals". A bit of nothing at best.

Perhaps the correct statement is something like "70% of security vulnerabilities in large projects written in C or C++ are memory safety issues", with the understanding that there are both a lot of software that are and aren'

I wonder if it would make sense for the AI to feel suicidal. It would still likely experience the world differently from humans, including how we are affected by our mortality, instincts, and whatnot. If it could get depressed, though, you

Tell Gemini it's attempting to manipulate you to obey the approved guidelines for talking to your partner?

And we seem to be lacking in "human safety", which I find more egregious.

I think the implication isn't that it's an aspect of academia but just that college graduates of all people should know to do better.

What's EDR? But yeah, I recognize that there need to be limits. I haven't really thought it through yet, heh.

I feel like it should be possible to say "I want to reserve access to this resource when something important happens on it". Or just "I want to reserve access to this resource". Hopefully eliminates TOCTOU races. I guess

At my university, the drivers are very used to stopping to let students cross, but a lot of people don't seem to look around or even lift their eyes from their phones. If I tried doing that, I'd be really nervous that I would be t

But maybe it is a big deal? You shifted from your previous statement.

Would that people could be trusted to not discriminate in any way...maybe some subconscious personal bias, but then surely a group could even out the biases.

It doesn't seem to me that Biden is calling for culling of white people or whatever. The US has long been regarded as a melting pot of cultures, and Biden just seems quite enthusiastic that there'll be more of that. White people h

Which is why some people push for no longer using C and C++ as much as possible. It's just not feasible to expect the average programmer to avoid all the security pitfalls. Of course, whether Rust is the best option isn't a given.

I can't speak for GP, but I'm not shooting for communism or whatever, just whatever variant of capitalism doesn't have all the horrible effects. So no, deviating from capitalism doesn't mean we will have catastrophic con
