Any thoughts about SIMD-related crates?

It's correct to say something like "the world is dysfunctional as a system for surfacing truth", and that's kind of like saying the rest of the world is crazy. On the other, you sh…

That paper abstract is way too hard to read.

Reading the article, I kept thinking: "could you defeat this with an iframe?", and indeed: > One of the best methods to protect against these attacks is strict isolation. If you is…

So your assessment of the "doomerist" position is that they believe people aren't taking AI risks seriously enough, and that only a large enough catastrophe will wake people up, an…

> This will not happen though, because these stories are marketing. The magnitude and the complexity of the cynicism displayed by some people when it comes to AI risks is mind-blow…

I think GP is aware that they're waging a culture war, on the side that stands for brutal pragmatism and embracing the race to the bottom, and they know that casual displays of cyn…

Alright, let's run this metaphor into the ground. A lawyer's job is not to help you avoid getting caught. ChatGPT says "I can't help you hide this, escape, destroy evidence, or avo…

You're missing the point of the meme, which is not "technology is bad", but "technologists theming their new poorly-tested invention after a popular story where the invention hurts…

And this is why you should warn on `clippy::allow_attributes_without_reason` in your projects.

The screen goes black for me after ~5s. I'm using Firefox on Linux, probably something to do with that.

That can be very easily explained as "bigger cars are safer for their occupant and deadlier to the person getting hit by them". I do think you need to defend your assertion, becaus…

A 36% approval rating is sky-high for a president that started a pointless immensely costly war after getting elected on a platform of "no more costly wars" and is in the process o…

For the longest time I thought this line would lead to a crash just because it seemed so obvious. So close indeed.

> Really it's rich people who want to do something good but don't want to bother getting informed and convincing themselves about what they want to do. "I'll give a ton of money an…

I really miss the time when people thought that the idea of someone telling an un-sandboxed AI "do whatever is needed to X" was unrealistically stupid.

I mean... Yes, any short snappy explanation is going to be easy to strawman by someone motivated to do so. The longer non-snappy explanation is that "I will arbitrarily set numbers…

To quote notorious effective altruist Scott Alexander: > Look. I’m the last person who’s going to deny that the road we’re on is littered with the skulls of the people who tried to…

Yeah, I really miss the "nobody would ever be stupid enough to [_____]" days of AGI safety discourse.

Woohoo, assert_matches! After all these years!

Friendly reminder that, for all that I despise Israeli politics, "existing in Tel-Aviv" isn't a crime or an aggression against Palestinians. We can think ill of the Israeli state w…

Yeah but like, the previous one was "Zero", so it makes a lot more sense than usual.

There's something ironic about complaining about other people's social skill while you couldn't be bothered to make a point without sounding dismissive and condescending.

The GDPR says: > The data subject shall have the right to obtain from the controller the erasure of personal data concerning him or her without undue delay and the controller shall…

That article is sobering. The fact that this malware stayed under the radar for 20 years is pretty ominous in itself.
