Ubuntu replaced their core userland utils with uutils, so the bulk of it. I’m guessing most other distros will follow suit.
This is a really good explanation of why I find Julia (effectively a Lisp in terms of these features) to be indispensable. The ability to generate code on the fly makes life so much easier that I just can't live without…
Never have I seen a title so perfectly encapsulate the very problem it's trying to solve. If you keep trying to "protect" your research from any kind of competition, you're doomed from the start.
You’re 100% correct, I think. But it’s notable that in that case, an extra functional programming language would make things worse by dividing effort, not better.
Because 14 wasn’t enough. https://xkcd.com/927/
Actual AI researchers have wildly different opinions on this; IME, going off all the AI researchers I’ve talked to, they tend to split about 50/50.
Self-appointed by the boards of directors at major companies and universities? https://slatestarcodex.com/2015/05/22/ai-researchers-on-ai-r... And no peer-reviewed research, apart from the dozens of widely-cited…
I feel like you’re misunderstanding how Julia syntax works. Julia syntax is Python syntax, for the most part. They’re not identical, but the differences are very small, and typically favor Julia—for example, compare:…
Julia already is a very high-level mathematics-oriented programming language, though. The reason Mathematica is so much faster here is it’s using a different algorithm. When you compare using the same algorithm, Julia…
This is a perfectly reasonable concern/criticism and one that plenty of EAs make. Going off funding, which is overwhelmingly directed towards global health and development, it’s probably one that most of them agree…
Yeah, and there’s also GiveWell. Probably 80% of EA money goes to development, with the rest evenly split between the other three cause areas. I’d be very shocked if AI research got more than 5% of EA funding.
The main benefit is that they’re probably more likely to actually read it. I dunno about you, but if someone gave me a book I’d probably actually read it. I definitely wouldn’t read a PDF someone emailed to me.
It’s not; they’re pretty much completely unrelated fields. AI ethics focuses very little on AI alignment issues, which tends to worry about much bigger and more general problems. The fact that you’re grouping AI…
AI alignment research is still extremely neglected. There’s a handful of researches looking at it and that’s about it. There’s plenty of coverage/criticism about AI, but it tends to be very different than the kinds of…
Why? I think it’s perfectly reasonable to think that distributing books about effective altruism would be a very effective use for $30,000 of donations. Most EAs give 10% of their income; if you assume the average EA…
Yep, exactly — and the average EA donates way more than $30,000 over their lifetime. This is just a creative way to advertise, and I don’t see what’s wrong with charities trying to get their message out there.
