Podcast Notes Playlist: StartupTyler Cowen - the #1 bottleneck to AI progress is humansThe Lunar Society
Key Takeaways While the AIs will be smart and conscientious, they will still face human bottlenecks, such as bureaucracies and committees at universitiesWe may not notice AI productivity gains on shorter timeframes: Even if they only boost economic growth by 0.5% per year, that is a massive productivity gain over 30-40 years! “There are going to be bottlenecks all along the way. It’s going to be a tough slug – like the printing press, like electricity. The people who study diffusion of new technologies never think there will be rapid takeoff.” – Tyler CowenOpposition to AI will only...2025-01-2059 minThe Podcast BrowserTyler Cowen - the #1 bottleneck to AI progress is humans Podcast: Dwarkesh Podcast (LS 54 · TOP 0.5% what is this?)Episode: Tyler Cowen - the #1 bottleneck to AI progress is humansPub date: 2025-01-09Get Podcast Transcript →powered by Listen411 - fast audio-to-text and summarizationI interviewed Tyler Cowen at the Progress Conference 2024.

Net AssessmentShould Biden Be Pro-Democracy or Anti-Autocracy?Chris, Melanie, and Zack debate Madeleine Albright's recent article on “The Coming Democratic Revival” in Foreign Affairs. They discuss whether the United States is in a position to promote democracy and push back against autocracy abroad, or whether it needs to focus primarily on its own democratic institutions and processes. Melanie commends Nancy Mace for holding Steve Bannon to account. Chris calls out President Joe Biden for his recent confusing statement on Taiwan. And Zack remembers Colin Powell for a life well lived. Links: Madeleine K. Albright, “The Coming Democratic Revival,” Foreign Affairs, November/December 2021, https://www.f...2021-10-291h 03
SDCastВ гостях Павел Аргентов, практикующий fp-программистУ меня в гостях Павел Аргентов, практикующий fp-программист. В этом выпуске мы попытались осветить все аспекты языка OCaml, сферы его применения, вопросы разработки, экосистему и сообщество вокруг.
В начале Паша сделал довольно подробный экскурс в историю появления самого языка, начиная с появления диалекта Lisp'а в семидесятых, добавление алгебраических типов данных и категориальной абстрактной машины в восьмидесятых, появление реализации Caml Light в девяностых и заканчивая уже современной инкарнацией c поддержкой объектной модели.
Подробно обсудили основые парадигмы языка и ключевые концепции, такие как: функциональное программирование, strict-механика и вытекающие из этого последствия, связывание переменных и лексические скоупы для связывания, система типов Хиндли-Милнера и опциональные аннотации типов, ООП-слой, язык модулей и функторы, инструментарий для синтаксического расширения (собственные DSL) и многое другое.
Пообщались о сферах применения языка, для каких задач OCaml подходит лучше всего, какие преимущества у него по сравнению с другими языками в контексте этих задач. Паша рассказал про различные известные (и не очень) проекты, написанные на OCaml, среди которых, например, MirageOS, фреймворк для построения Unikernel систем. Рассказал про различные проекты, написанные под сильным влиянием OCaml. В основном это различные языки программирования, которые основаны на идеях OCaml, например FSharp, Haxe или ReasonML.
Не забыли мы обсудить и экосистему вокруг языка, какие есть инструменты для работы с языком: моды к различным IDE, браузер типов, пакетные менеджеры и прочие сопутствующие инструменты, коммьюнити вокруг языка, списки рассылки, места скопления OCaml-программистов, чаты и форумы.
Так же немного пофилософствовали на тему того, почему язык не получил широкого распространения среди разработчиков, с каких языков проще перейти на OCaml, стоит ли в принципе сейчас изучать этот язык.
