“The core idea is that your conversations with an AI assistant should be as private as your conversations with a person. Not because you’re doing something wrong, but because privacy is what lets you think freely.”

I once encountered a false sharing issue where simply adding _unused_ code (e.g. a=5) to a script that calls my C++ made the bug go away. This unused code shifted the memory such that the data was no longer at the cache line boundary :')

Initially I was annoyed at people here who don't engage in good faith, but now I'm thinking of unfollowing good faith profiles who regularly engage with bad faith ones. I don't want boringass arguments on my feed. I've also liberally blocked everybody who acts in bad faith here.

It seems to me that it's both value and hype, then. Whether valuations are insane, probably?, but there's certainly an actual big tech impact as well. Whereas NFTs are... maybe theoretically valuable, but I can't tell you what value they're actually providing rn

Anti-AI people are misdirecting their anger at AI instead of lack of UBI (or regulation). Automation will keep happening and we need it to happen because humans have limited capability to solve problems. We have also discovered (rather than invented) AI and have limited control over its direction

I was obsessively modding Warcraft 3 as a kid (some of my mods even got popular!) which had its own programming language. Coding felt like home, but I didn't think video games were sufficiently high impact, so I moved to biotech and (right now) cybersec

Reduction, not minimization, of complexity should be an explicit goal of design. There's a sweet spot of complexity necessary to address the issue
