I like the portability aspect, but between the microstutters, broken textures, and visual glitches, I'm not particularly impressed by these. I kind of feel like Java did this in the browser ten years ago, albeit at a lower resolution.
I guess it still needs work. It's not even available yet on Firefox, but I expected Chrome to work at the very least.
What to play next occurs to me and my hands just do it.
Have not checked if this Ted talk holds up but for me playing instruments is very unlike anything else. Woodworking and cooking, while I enjoy them, do not have the same holistic euphoria to them.
In the surveys I have run on this topic, enterprise tech buyers are split on the issues. CEOs and line of business execs definitely want to see revenue, but almost no companies think of themselves as having successfully made any money on AI. CIOs and tech VPs on the other hand really see AI as a lever to pull increase the effectiveness of automation efforts. IT really sees AI as a cost lever.
In a study we just did on outsourcing, buyers as good as say that they expect the value from AI to be in the reduction of staff at their outsourcing providers, and there's plenty of evidence that the cost lever is what people want.
Net, in a rising cost environment organizations see more value in cost reductions than output gains, at least for most back office and IT functions.
Correct, I'm just highlighting that there are gaps in Rust's ownership model where local reasoning fails. They're fairly narrow compared to other languages, but you do have to know about them.
Are these companies operating at scale? We have a couple in my city as well. But it's one guy maintaining their own fleet of equipment. Does the cost rival gas powered companies? The companies I'm aware of that offer this service specifically market it as a premium and appeal to eco friendly consumers that want the less noise and pollution, and are willing to pay more than double what it costs to have a gas powered company do it.
Unfortunately, until the technology improves I think we have a tragedy of the commons scenario here, because gen pop is probably willing to trade the noise and air pollution for the cheaper service
My understanding is that QFT is not axiomatized - it works but there's a bit of hand-waving at the level of actual proofs. There are people working on this, but currently physics is physics and maths is maths.
And alternatives that I honestly think are better.
One reason I'm unwilling to move from Firefox right now: Recommended Extensions.
They're extensions that are checked by Mozilla employees for quality, security and privacy. Extensions have such unfettered access to my browsing, and so many have such nefarious practices that I'll only install extensions that Mozilla vets.
I don’t know. If I have learned something in the last decade about software engineering and quality is: business only care about revenue and speed, while engineers don’t have an objective way to define quality (10 engineers would give you 10 different opinions about the same piece of code).
The only moment I consider quality as the top priority is when I work on side projects (because there’s only one opinion about what quality means, because there’s no time pressure and because no one is asking me “are we profitable now?”)
Admittedly I didn't read the whole page but a quick skim of the first several paragraphs didn't produce anything with obvious ties to national socialism, what am I missing?
Is it not dystopian for the apparatus of state to be involved in suicide? Is killing not a gross violation of the Hippocratic Oath?
Assisted dying seems an evil thing to me - all the more so because suicide is feasible without society’s involvement and encouragement. One worries that the state and doctors will at some point go from saying “you may” to saying “you should.”
I have an issue with collateral damage in the name of a cause. I meant what I said, it is arrogant to decide "my protest is more important than ANYTHING you could be doing right now, because I said so"
It's just fucked up. Protest your face off, don't stop everyone else from getting on with their day.
Are you including address translation in the area you're ascribing to the L1$ there? I haven't looked at detailed area numbers for recent Intel designs but having equal area for L1$ and L2$ seems really weird to me based on numbers from other designs I've seen.
I'm having a hard time mentally come up with a way a larger L1 could be faster. Have more ways, sure. Or more read ports. Or more bandwidth. And I'm given to understand that Intel tags (or used to tag) instruction boundaries in their L1I$. But how do you reduce latency? Physically larger transistors can more quickly overcome the capacitance of the lines their destination and the capacitance of their destinations but a large cache makes the distance and line capacitance correspondingly larger. You can have speed differences with 6T versus 8T SRAM cell designs but as I understand it Intel went to use 8T everywhere in Nahelem for energy efficiency reasons. I guess maybe changes in transistor technology could have made them revisit that, but 8 transitors isn't that much physically larger than 6.
> Math seems like low hanging fruit in that regard.
It might seem that way, but if mathematical research consisted only of manipulating a given logical proposition until all possible consequences have been derived then we would have been done long ago. And we wouldn't need AI (in the modern sense) to do it.
Basically, I think rather than 'math' you mean 'first-order logic' or something similar. The former is a very, large superset of the latter.
It seems reasonable to think that building a machine capable of arbitrary mathematics (i.e. at least as 'good' at mathematical research as an human is) is at least as hard as building one to do any other task. That is, it might as well be the definition of AGI.
I still recall a tragicomic leafblower event that made the local news when I lived in Australia.
A caretaker was killed when a tree fell on him while he was using a leafblower during a storm. The added irony was that he was doing this at 'The Lodge' - the official residence of the Australian Prime Minister which had been vacant for some time because the Prime Minister refused to live their (preferring a residence in Sydney). So an entirely unnecessary event all around.
Or worse, a 20-deep Twitter thread.
