Voting with your wallet can work, but consolidation increasingly makes voting with your wallet a double or triple whammy. 1) alternatives may be more expensive by dollars 2) altern…

Or a shot in the back.

Not if your spells cast their own spells.

How does he stay awake??

I’ve always suspected the “index funds are the safest investment” system is ripe for exploitation.

I love go, but I find it did little to make concurrency management easier to reason about. Race conditions are easy to write. Go routines have all the same concurrency problems of …

No. Why is this a question?

The documentation reference a “decode” function, and it’s imported to the example code, but it’s never called. I’m not sure what the API is after reading the examples.

The output of the transformation layers are a collection of embeddings in the latent concept space. Those can be fed into an addition model to extract semantic segments, bounding b…

Does STUN attempt to utilize any of those?

Shiny.

It’s the same assumption is required for any hole punching handshake (including STUN). > This is a property called “equal delta mapping” FWIW I’ve worked in computer networking for…

The foundation models themselves will be cheap to deploy, but we’ll still need general purpose inferencing hardware to work along side them, converting latent intermediate layers t…

It's funny that humans working together for mutual benefit via any other mechanism than regimented corporate slavery is considered insane.

I’m wholly in support of protecting vulnerable people. This article used the word “laser” much more than I would have thought necessary. Couldn’t we accomplish the same thing with …

Right? A “contract” that only one party needs to abide by is not a contract… it’s an abusive relationship.

Logs should go to stderr. I will die on this hill.

> don't have a bad day at work All systems break. Complex systems break in complex ways. Robots will definitely have bad days.

The Uber business model is: Undercut competition. Use borrowed money to sell rides under cost. Wait for all competitors to die. Jack up prices. AFAIK they’re still living on borrow…

The simplest example I can think of is: Map(slice, func) You can can implement this generically in Go using interface{} types and runtime type checking, but then you have runtime t…
