Sure, I once write that companies are artificial intelligence and it still feels true: https://beza1e1.tuxen.de/companies_are_ai.html

The bad part is that it does not require a collective decision. It just takes a few key people. Some OpenAI researchers neglected their sandbox safety for a few weeks/months and thus hacked HuggingFace. Maybe eventually that is suffici

The classic thought experiment is the paper clip optimizer. Quoting Nick Bostrom: > Suppose we have an AI whose only goal is to make as many paper clips as possible. The AI will realize quickly that it would be much better if there were

I would assume they spent similar amounts on the other Millennium problems too. Also, they probably tried it before with older models.

We have an ongoing discussion and some fans of https://microsoft.github.io/apm/ Because it's from Microsoft and sounds sufficiently enterprisey probably.

I don't want media under control of billionaires like Musk. I mostly stopped using Twitter myself but many important institutions still feel compelled to publish there (sometimes even exclusively), thus I would like other people to als

Codeberg seems to focus on OSS whereas pushin seems to focus on enterprise/commercial uses?

I wonder about the "modern" git part. Here is how to do it in 2013: https://stackoverflow.com/a/10693888/2361979

Does not seem convincing to me so far and i like systems thinking. Do you have a link, where you wrote more? I think a fundamental problem is that micropayments don’t work. Instead we pay with attention, i.e. by watching ads. That already w

Yeah, that is why this will not get popular.

The way to express a 85% confidence is to size your investment accordingly. For example, if the market is at 75%, then you buy yes-shares until the price is at 85%. If the market is at 90%, then buy no-shares instead until the price is down

Cue prediction markets etc. There are mechanisms to aggregate this and have a wisdom of crowd effect.

Fully agree. For example, I wish managers would be capable to handle the difference between a 40% and a 70% chance to meet the deadline.

Why does everybody use this TUI approach? More minimal to me would be a shell-like prompt. Save yourself the lines above and below. Use readline or something similar.

Yes, I share your hate. Unfortunately, the open web is apparently too hostile now for any sizeable open community.

HTML5 is not XML. You don’t need to close your <p> for example. If I include such valid HTML5 into Atom it is invalid XML. Well, I can use <![CDATA but that is weird too.

by qznc 2mo ago
Atom is correct to a degree that is annoying. It is XML, so not all HTML5 is allowed. You would have to convert your HTML5 to XHTML5. Possible but harder than string-concatenation. It requires full self links, so you must put your domain na

My understanding of ATProto is that it essentially means an open database. As a consequence anybody can write an alternative interfaces for any data. The argument is that with ActivityPub does not care about that aspect. With Mastodon, the

Maybe the Democracy Index can make this a little more fact-based: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Economist_Democracy_Index USA = Flawed democracy China = Authoritarian I don't really know how well they do this
