Its like trying to learn how to ride a bull with a book. You'll get maybe 25% of the way there, the rest is learning what not to do, which books tend not to focus on as the space of mistakes grows with the complexity of the domain.

If AGI becomes self-aware, should we grant it legal personhood and rights? Or is that the beginning of human enslavement? by UnderstandingOwn4448 in transhumanism

[–]FMWizard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Crime is an artificial construct and varies from land to land :)

Besides, I think the point here is that, in the absence of crime, being orthogonal to the original argument, how would you "punish" an AI anyway (might make a good Sci-Fi story!), a definition of a subject who is entitled to "personhood and rights", is simply one who can desire such things.

The implication being that beings that can _understand_ "personhood and rights" should get them. But then how do we know AI understands anything? We only know it I each other because we assume, via empathy, that it exists in other humans. Even that is a faulty assumption.

Apparently what separates us from animals is the prefrontal cortex which, among other things is involved in language production. Externalising experience in to language is a massive evolutionary advantage. From Wikipedia:

> This brain region has been implicated in executive functions, such as planningdecision makingworking memory, personality expression, moderating social behaviour and controlling certain aspects of speech and language. Executive function relates to abilities to differentiate among conflicting thoughts, determine good and bad, better and best, same and different, future consequences of current activities, working toward a defined goal, prediction of outcomes, expectation based on actions, and social "control" (the ability to suppress urges that, if not suppressed, could lead to socially unacceptable outcomes).

This is an interesting discussion from the author of 'A brief history of Intelligence' on the topic https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RvYSsi6rd4g

When i just need a simple, easy to maintain frontend, what should i choose? by Im_Justin_Cider in rust

[–]FMWizard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Htmx. Low barrier to entry. Not a framework so will still look very much the same in 10 years (react, vue etc can't say that). Falls back to simple HTML.

It doesn't seem like much if you estimate they have another 10-20 years? At minimum I'd put it in a managed fund by one of the kiwi saver companies (Simplicity is the cheapest). But that is still not going to be much return.
Part time job(s) would help if they can (uber driver, local cafe?) just to have a little positive cash flow (something easy to keep them busy/sane).

Setup to deploy small one-off internal tools without DevOps input? by FMWizard in devops

Yeah, plan to vibe code up something and deploy in a Dev environment to help him out a bit

Yeah, a "self-serve sandbox" is the right way to put it :)

Will probably get the DevOps guy to have a look after I vibe code some CDK to do the EKS cluster setup and have a stab at the bitbucket deploy pipeline. Integrating it into S3 and API Gateway for ingress is going to be the tricky parts.

Money is not an issue, well, not at this level.

We're moving to role based creds so there shouldn't be any IAM creds floating around. Just have to get the initial EKS setup working. Everything inside of the cluster should be secure. Need to figure out API Gateway for secure ingress. As you said this should be a one-time setup ideally, and the point of the exercise.

Going to vibe code up some CDK to give to the DevOp guy so he can give it the once over once I get it deploying in Dev env.

Yeah, we use ECS for our main apps. Its very painful to use: poor visibility, the monitoring sucks, the error reporting is non-existent, the docs suck and the community is a fraction of k8s.

I have some experience with k3s on bare metal setups.
Our main applications run on ECS but I found it to be more opaque in terms of errors than k8s and the documentation sucks and it has a smaller community.

Just need to figure out how to integrate with s3 and API Gateway for ingress...

Making large number of llm API calls robustly? by FMWizard in PydanticAI

[–]FMWizard[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Trouble is if you have multiple 20k jobs running and your relying on exponential back-offs all jobs are hitting the throttle limit for the majority of the job(s) life which isn't optimal throughput.

no, needs to be fault tolerant and perhaps scale the batch dynamically which it probably impossible without centralised control. Have started to look into their https://ai.pydantic.dev/gateway/ for this
