No, it sounds like mythos is just doing parallel trajectories. that's pretty distinct!

AI systems far weaker than GPT-2 have had terrible effects. The result of how information and power is distributed mostly flows along the lines of reward hacking recommendation engines, powered by even weaker models. And yet, somehow, it is

Well yeah social trust is worse in autocracies, you'd imagine that corruption would be lower on the list of problems you perceive having when 1) you don't have a good press to report on them 2) you can be sent to jail basically w

The answer to this is just changing the law as enforcement becomes different, instead of leaning on the rule of a few people to determine what the appropriate level of enforcement is. To do this, though, you're going to have to get rid

Because noncitizens can be motivated or not and / or resign and, frankly, there isn't that deep of a well of top tier AI talent. The threat of mass resignations led to OAI re-hiring sam altman, after all. Also why would the depart

I'm sorry I read this a lot and this is kind of an insane thing to say? Classified OLC memos giving legal cover to any military action has been a fixture for the last over twenty years! Congress never abdicated power, it just, by the n

Then you would get zero H1B and, frankly, green card signatures. There is real risk and real dependents at stake, I understand people who can't in good conscience put that at risk.

Data centers in space make sense because its nigh impossible to build things terrestrially. NIMBYism is so out of control the largest solar array in the US in the middle of the mojave got cancelled because it would interfere with the view.

by JackYoustra 8mo ago
As your app scales, you're going to want to break out different parts into their own packages in order to keep compile times in check, so you're gonna be forced to go through SPM unless you use tuist or bazel.

You can't really easily use explicit types in much of idiomatic SwiftUI. The expression that the compiler is trying to solve is really complicated, I agree, but the solution to that is either changing how SwiftUI is architected or rest

Hijacking your comment because this is a common point that's made on the superiority of Swift syntax against the union syntax. At least with |, you're attempting to model the state space. You're saying "this is one of th

If you look at most swiftui views, there will be a mass of optionals, rather than enum cases for every possible state that the view can occupy and a state machine transitioning between each state. If you actually try and write it all out (l

Xcode (and as of a couple years ago the vscode spm integration) tends to have difficulty when scaling this solution. Being explicit with types is very disruptive when used in SwiftUI or TCA.
23.
by JackYoustra 8mo ago
Adding on, its also a bit much to say that Swift has a good level of sugar and reference an enum of all things. Swift's union type story is so poor that, instead of properly modeling state, people to this day still use masses of option

You can develop Swift without it. I assume you mean SwiftUI / apple's sdk, which is what most people assume (a note, I'd say, to advocates of Swift who wish not to address SwiftUI: it's the biggest target, and its poor p

Broadly agree but, as is most things, the devil is in the details! - Xcode. A really rough ide that has a hard time at scale, choking on package refreshes, many targets, and more. It has a special entitlement so you can't even binary p

Because white supremacists are, from some abstract level, undesirable? And some have white supremacist tendencies, so there has to be some way of, at the very least, ignoring them and ensuring that its possible to ignore them.

SwiftUI is almost certainly the biggest application of Swift; even if we relax it to just iOS applications you'll see the same issues appear with invalid state combinations.

by JackYoustra 9mo ago
I agree that you should evaluate languages in their domains. At the end of the day, Swift is mainly used for systems and iOS apps. In this, it is inadequate, as you can tell by, again, most apps not using the type system to enumerate valid

I mean there should be _some_ sugar in a language like swift, no? It has sugar in many parts of the language, being able to define a simple type union should not require custom declaration of every forwarding accessor, a protocol, an enum,
