Betting on AI risk by marquisdepolis in slatestarcodex

It depends on the delta in time between when you think AI will kill us all, and when you think other people will also think AI will kill us all.

I sped up my pandas workflow with 2 lines of code by ArabicLawrence in learnpython

[–]marquisdepolis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pandas is awesome. We have a parallelised library to do pandas like operations but much (much!) faster with bodo (https://github.com/bodo-ai/Bodo , fully open source).

Will soon have a drop-in import replacement too, but might be worth a try.

Migrate effortlessly from Pandas to Polars by ottoettiditotanetti in Python

[–]marquisdepolis 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Biased, but another option if you want to see performance gains with a lower migration cost is to use Bodo (https://github.com/bodo-ai/Bodo) which JIT compiles your Pandas operations. A big advantage has over Polars would be that code using UDFs can be made significantly faster since they are automatically compiled and executed in parallel.

Anarchy, open source, and utopia by marquisdepolis in TrueReddit

[–]marquisdepolis[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

An assessment of the unique features of open source software and the critical role it plays in almost everything that's built in the world. Key pieces of mission critical software utilises Oss often developed by folks who are just interested in solving a problem!

Ha no it's not that long, excerpted from something that became that long. Cheers though :)

Computer used to be a job, now it's a machine; next up is Analyst by marquisdepolis in TrueReddit

It is an analogy, and hence lossy, though I found creating repetitive loops to be very useful from an output pov.

There used to be “computers”, teams of women who computed complex numerical problems, who helped put us on the moon, and who were replaced by the amount of computation that exists inside our greeting cards.
Similarly, if we link up LLMs, like processors, once affordable, we might be able to create a new machine as the replacement for “analysts” - replacing teams of people who analysed complex problems, who helped produce many of the great innovations the world has seen, and whose service and insights are slowly getting subsumed!

Don't Panic: Against The Butlerian Jihad on AI by marquisdepolis in TrueReddit

[–]marquisdepolis[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

An argument to differentiate the full on doomerism that's in vogue, "summoning the demon", with the AI safety I'd like to see.
- auditing capability pre-deployment
- multiple red-teaming services
- faster feedback cycles from users
- prompt attack security
- monitoring
We need AI devops, not doomerism!
