It does indeed mean ideological alignment. But we don't get to leave the answer blank. They have to pick an ideology to put in there, and whatever they pick will have huge consequences.

It's kinda a throw-away remark in the middle, but I thought it was really cool to realize that speakers produce an on-axis net-blow and an off-axis net-suck.

For public transit in my city they have an official website where you can type in where you are and where you want to go and it plan it all for you. Can choose from arrive asap to picking a time when you want to depart or a time you want to

Does that mean you can build precedents with "matchfixing"? Like pay the plaintiff under the table to throw his case by presenting really bad arguments? And then subsequent cases must reference that result?

You are making an argument against caching it at all which is clearly not what they want. So the comparison must be uncompressed storage vs compressed storage. The compression cost is always the same. The storage cost depends on how long yo

Well what do you want? Presenting clear, desirable, and achievable visions and trying to build consensus for how AI should develop is crucial at this point in time.

> Ban construction (...) and let the economy and market forces compete to find the cheapest alternative This sounds nice and unbiased on paper, but often this means that rather than expanding alternatives, the poor are simply made to go

I don't think it's really a tradeoff and rather that Ebola is simply bad at its job. Why? Because it's primarily a bat virus (and it's basically asymptomatic in bats) that ended up where it doesn't belong and wreaks

This framing seems like the correct one, but I think that just like being physically sedentary leads to weakness of muscles and joints and health problems, so being mentally sedentary could also lead to a mind that is weakened in the long t

Can we pick and choose the good without the bad? If we agree stability is a net-negative we could just say there will be a list of blessed trustworthy libraries with extra scrutiny and bureaucracy (make no mistake this is completely necessa

This is why you dont use linear save frequency. 5 min, 10 min, half an hour, one hour, two hours etc

You are basically arguing that travelers with little to lose from a delay should subsidize travelers with a lot to lose, they would pay the same ticket prize but end up with different payouts. I don't think that's reasonable. If y

Adaption is just how the body works though. From the perspective of someone living in the mountains, descending to sea level is "addictive" in that they will get air withdrawals (altitude sickness) when coming back.

Producer and consumer sides are tied. If there is strong demand for windows development then there will be money sloshing around which will attract devs. I predict demand will decrease, at least for this particular niche. To go even further

One trend to watch is AI cheat devices. Instead of running detectable software they have a fully separate device that uses AI for object detection and aimbotting. If cheaters move to using those, then the argument for kernel mode anticheat

Counterpoint: These are temporary growing pains that will be resolved in 10-ish years.

Something I've been thinking about is that a physical book is a physical artifact, and it's age and authenticity can be verified by treating it as such. In contrast a digital book has no such marks. It's impossible to tell if

Not sure if it will work or not, but I think it's our best shot.

Wifi imaging has been a publicly known technique for years. I think the news is more how good it's gotten.

I'm personally bearish on privacy. As the cost of surveillance comes down we will see more and more actors able to conduct surveillance until even bored kids with pocket money and an afternoon can do it. Denying the """g

Well the title of this very post is about the ABI. The ABI provides some guarantees on what the compiler output will be. It guarantees that parameters will be read from certain registers and results will be written to other registers. Most

Reordering destructors is not safe in C++, as it's fairly common to rely on objects being destroyed in reverse order and doing stuff like A a; B b(&a); In rust the borrow checker would guard against reordering such things,

There are two kinds of jobs: export jobs and local jobs. I mean export in a loose sense - not necessarily crossing country borders, but rather something that is transported to other regions. Export jobs like mining, an industry etc is the b

The thing with ram is that once you can fit everything you want into the space you have available there is little benefit in optimizing further or getting more space. 1gig -> 230MB may be a large enough reduction that it goes from "

Crazy thought but given that you have a pure sine frequency, maybe it would be possible to listen to an out of phase version of it to cancel. Same principle as noise cancelling except the noise is purely internal. Though I guess phase might

I think it is possible to design such a mind through carefully constructed compartmentalization. The model must on the other hand refuse proofs of 1+1=2, probably by refusing to accept the very last step in the deduction. And on the other h

I think you are taking that line of reasoning a little too far. The point of a scam is to trick people out of their belongings. There may be certain advantages of targeting and filtering for gullible people, but it's not the point it

What will you do when the prompt was "Figure out the bug and write a report for me". Not saying it was in this particular case, but I think at least in other cases, it will be.
