JavaScript is a colossal solution to the demands of product, design, business, users and other stakeholders. Crockford was one of the first to effectively sell it to engineers. It has developed into a nice language with modern features and

Well, the sequence 0, 2, 4, ... , 2k, ... is indeed simple, can be recovered starting from the value at an arbitrary index (eg the last one announced). As can (3k), (5k), etc... But the structure of what does not appear in any of them is fa

Mozilla is up in a bunch of shit at this point. They have a half a BILLION dollar nut to raise annually, and money from Google covers the whole thing. It's ridiculous. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mozilla_Corpor

The discipline informed by science is computer engineering. They have to worry about, e.g., things melting. I'm critical of computability as discussed here to some degree, in that many of the algorithms in effect do not compute anythin

Keep in mind, the "hole" takes ChatGPT and Copilot/Gemini/etc into account at a rate of $5-10B per product. The remainder of $500B is about the size of the global cell phone market. Where will it come from?

What is the concern? These businesses didn't exist two years ago. There's nothing to reckon. Google's had a wildly profitable model forever, their "existential threat" is LLMs not petering out.

There is also a theory that as you approach the horizon you'll be incinerated by a kind of hidden firewall. This apparently contradicts GR - but on the other hand if you're allowed to fall in it seemingly contradicts QM.

A big part of the problem is illustrated by the fact we are now trained to google e.g. even basic information about our own podcast. Big tech gets so much more out of us than we get out of them - their products are entrenched largely by per

You might look up the sagas of Rocket Lab and other small launch providers if you're interested in what it takes to put ~200lb into LEO today. It's way beyond dad and son stuff, still incredibly hard, but not so much anymore that

No... A good number of folks will even go so far as to say that "all we do" is token prediction too. It's worth noting -- OpenAI founder Elon Musk claims in a lawsuit that the company has achieved AGI. Make of that what you w

Well the paper shows that looking for signatures of photovoltaics is an impractical strategy if not impossible. The only other games in town, if we're talking huge amounts of power, and ignoring the speculative "beyond", are

Fascinating mission. I don't understand how microlensing events resulting from primordial black holes can be differentiated even statistically, given that they "can't be formed by any known physical process", but in any

From behind the paywall -- NYT sued them, and so OAI will pursue for now licensing arrangements with some major media outlets at least.

Yes significantly. But take for example the stock market, which is obviously of interest, to OAI in particular, but which cannot over the medium-long term be extrapolated accurately from historical data.

Mostly games on Oculus. I haven't played online socially, just with friends IRL - one has a really sweet room all set up for VR. Also back in the 90s-00s, on the more primitive arcade systems. I haven't looked at the "metaver

Cool idea. What does the expression/spec language look like? I would guess it has to be mapped... not straightforwardly. It seems like your goal is maximize throughput, but then the datapath would have to be planar, no?

In many cases practitioners already have appropriately non-magical language, for clarity in communication. *-reality interfaces are "immersive", they don't alter or recreate reality. What artificial intelligence is is (statis

Reconfigurable logic may be used to implement fairly small models, in applications where they're already employed and adding a coprocessor specifically for ML is either infeasible or doesn't make sense. As the paper mentions, you
