    It’s far from a perfect analogy but I would imagine that people were pretty hyped about the novelty of the first legitimately useful compiled programs where they didn’t have to all…

    I’d be very curious to hear what an online restart approach for sketchy extensions crashing a shared thread per connection process might look like. This is more a question for the …

    I’m not very familiar with the specifics of pass through but IIUC only being able to map 1.5gb of active DMA buffers at a time is pretty limiting.

    I feel similarly but IIUC I think that doesn’t strictly require an open source development model. I’ve benefited a huge amount from consuming and contributing to open source projec…

    I read the Hyperion books during a particularly intense period of my life and found them quite powerful. I didn’t know anything about Simmons at the time, but I suppose I shouldn’t…

    > any [] property can be [taken by the state] from its [original] owners simply by [those owners becoming more powerful than the state wants] When rephrased like the above, I think…

    I’m not sure I see that assumption in the statement above. The fact that no prompt or alignment work is a perfect safeguard doesn’t change who is responsible for the outcomes. LLMs…

    FWIW I understood GP to mean that it suddenly makes sense to them, not that there’s been a sudden focus shift at google.

    This has mostly been my experience as well although I don’t tend to run yolo mode outside of an isolated VM (I’m setting them up manually still, need to try vagrant for it). That s…

    Anyone who finds this relatable (like me) might benefit from learning more about the last couple of decades of research on emotional regulation, trauma, and the nervous system. I h…

    I understand that I have a bias, which is why I was disclosing it. I think it strengthens my question since naively I'd expect a self-professed zealot to buy into the narrative in …

    I find a lot of these points persuasive (and I’m a big Rust fan so I haven’t spent much time with Zig myself because of the memory safety point), but I’m a little skeptical about t…

    Might be worth noting that npm didn’t have lock files for quite a long time, which is the era during which I formed my mental model of npm hell. The popularity of yarn (again impor…

    I was quite tickled to see this, I don’t remember why but I recently started rewatching the show. Perfect timing!

    I tend to agree but there are a few scenarios where I really want it to work. Debuggers in particular seem hard to get right for the current agents. I’ve not been able to get the v…

    Not GP but 2CB and psilocybin were never very visual for me compared with LSD in my tripping days. I have aphantasia and the only chemical to give me full eyes open visuals was DMT…

    This matches my experience and I was quite surprised to find out other aphantasiacs have their “minds eye open” when tripping. For me psychedelics only ever produced a fractal over…

    (I work on a project that uses Chromium’s commit queue infrastructure) I think there’s a big difference between Chromium’s approach and the “not rocket science” rule. AIUI Chromium…

    Comments so far seem to be focusing on the rejection without considering the stated reasons for rejection. AFAICT Alsup is saying that the problems are procedural (how do payouts h…
