If you're genuine about your goal (re-examine your own feelings, it's easy to deceive oneself!), your question is going in the wrong direction.

The framework doesn't matter.

If you want to release a startup quickly, just do the minimum amount of work to test the hypothesis you have about your user. Most of the time that will not involve programming. It could be as simple as setting up a Gform or calling a few friends and talking to them about their problems.

If it turns out you do need to code, take whatever tool you already know that gets the job done. Crucially, "gets the job done" means: focus only on what you know you already need. Do not plan ahead. Don't think about scalability. You can always re-write if your idea is actually good (which it almost never is).

Do things that don't scale.

However, if you find your motivation is not so much about starting a startup, but more about learning a new framework, just pick the one that's most interesting to you.
It feels like there's a parallel to SQL, and we need the "prepared statement" for AIs, where unsafe values are marked in the statement to avoid escaping the request.

No idea how you go about implementing it, but that's what is needed. Anything else will be cat and mouse I think.
You can bypass any filter, ChatGPT is dumb enough for you to do that.
Easy - they reported things that don't fit into this person's worldview.

As a random suggestion for a project to pursue, over the past few years I've thought that there needs to be some way to cryptographically sign media that was recorded by a camera - basically a way to say "Yes, this is a real thing that happened, and you can prove it with this signature." Especially given the leaps in audio, video, deepfakes, etc, we're all going to need a means for verifying that something is real.

I'll grant that something like this is not a panacea - we need good solid media literacy. But I think a technical solution will help us out.

Modern GPUs and CPUs are both Turing complete. They both are capable of supporting and indeed do support Unicode software.
I felt less and less excited about tech/programming over the years. Not sure if I would call it burnout, but just a sense of boredom and that I didn't learn new and exciting stuff anymore.

7 years ago I decided to just leave it all, reset my life, and try something new. After trying some different things I found a new passion for photography. Which in turn lead me to start a youtube channel about photography. Which is now my full time job. Never been happier in my life!

If anyone is curious about my story, I have a 20 minute video about the transition from tech entrepreneur to photography youtuber here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LfHvh87gm7M
Why is remote work seen as a gift?
Backend Developer (mostly remote, Europe)
We are looking for a Python/Django/Celery/Postgres/ElasticSearch -minded backend developer to join our team. Competitive salary and stock options available. We are a scale-up with 28 staff, mostly in Finland, where we are a leading customer data platform / marketing automation tool for leading brands. We also have presence in Benelux and German-speaking countries and looking to expand - maybe with your help!
ChatGPT in particular isn't dangerous. That's what makes this exercise useful. They have some of the best domain expert in the world and _can't_ control the system to the degree that they want. We get to watch this play out in a "safe space", so we can keep it in mind when someone says, "hey, let's give an AI system control of a computer/weapon/etc".

I presume this is for "security".

Google has to "innovate" some way, even when new ideas are scarce and fixing bugs (messages obstructing UI elements) sucks.
“You can’t solve programming security problems with more programming.”

I think it’s definitely possible to detect “escape” attempts, and to train the model in the first place to respect its directions.

It’s just not an actual security problem, the models contain no secrets nor control any levers. You get some bad optics is all.

Universal access to information causes depression if the information about the state of the world is depressing. Might not be social media that is the issue. No evidence for that tho, just playing devils advocate.
There’s a reason why most people moved away from them though. It’s just such a pain.
There’s no need to be dismissive. If these quotes help OP then that’s great. They seem to be helpful to a lot of others here too.
It looks like this is almost impossibly difficult to actually implement against existing large language models: it's been at least five months since people started talking about this solution and so far no one has managed to deliver a working implementation.
I think it does depend on the problem. Genetic stuff always seemed not easily parallelizable like my field (physics simulation) is. That said, the culture here is that MPI works and thus cray still builds computers that work better with it, so we use MPI so it works...etc etc.
At the time the physical construction had been completed.

> This feature is powered by a Linux kernel patch that allows small contiguous blocks of memory to be returned to the host machine when they are no longer needed in the Linux guest. We updated the Linux kernel in WSL2 to include this patch, and modified Hyper-V to support this page reporting feature. In order to return as much memory to the host as possible, we periodically compact memory to ensure free memory is available in contiguous blocks. This only runs when your CPU is idle. You can see when this happens by looking for the ‘WSL2: Performing memory compaction’ message inside of the output of the dmesg command.
And there was a period where it came with rails.

"sitting around like sheep discussing whether a new butcher is about to get sharper knive"

Speaking of that, I might as well provide some supprting evidence from a different part of the tech industry. Most people don't know that right now Blackrock and Coinbase are attempting a coup on the US dollar by seeking access to central bank liability for their stable coin? The Coinbase CEO even said it out loud that this year his stable coin will become the de facto central bank digital currency. I suspect that they have indirectly bribed someone at the Fed (how else does that work? esp since the Fed chairmen has come out strongly against stablecoins) and are basically trying to get the ability to get Fed loans at the Fed rate and loan out at the commercial bank rate without being a bank and by using a coin which they can mint themselves, so all the profits from interest create more reserves and the cycle keeps going. It is literally insane. The threat from Google and Microsoft to society pales in comparison. I may not have my understanding 100% correct but all banks are up in arms about it and the average person on HN has no clue this is happening. Just Google Blackrock, USDC and the Fed. The banks are calling it a backdoor CBDC.
I am using Podman infrequently on Windows. It works just fine, although I had to go rootful for a few containers. They've seen been updated to not need it.

Podman Desktop replaces Docker Desktop.

The only "problem" is that the auto-restart policy doesn't apply between reboots. I kinda get why, and it's not a huge problem for me to start the containers I care about via Podman Desktop when I want to use them. In a sense it works better because if I reboot they all stop and are not using resources.
I don't get this hate-boner HN has for SO. Have you tried being active there? It's super easy to not have your question closed, just do the minimum amount of effort. And if you're active, you'll see the thousands of similar questions arrive every day. If you're active in the review queues, you will see all the spam, broken answers, non-SO fitting questions etc. people churn out.

I see people complain about how their "well researched and well articulated question got closed" all the time, but when prompted no one every actually provides a link to their question. Which makes me believe it actually just was a low effort noisy question after all..

If anything, HN is much more snarky, just look at the comments on anything here.
Don't know why this is downvoted. It is an observation I and many others share. The mental anguish comes more from feeling helpless than from the actual danger. This is not to say (and the parent post doesn't say it either) that you can or should take action in all situations. Only that perceived agency or the lack of can have a greater effect on your mental health than the objective circumstances.
From the summary: «Viruses that replicate in the human respiratory mucosa without infecting systemically, including influenza A, SARS-CoV-2, endemic coronaviruses, RSV, and many other “common cold” viruses, cause significant mortality and morbidity and are important public health concerns. Because these viruses generally do not elicit complete and durable protective immunity by themselves, they have not to date been effectively controlled by licensed or experimental vaccines.»

What if 1 is paid and 2 is unpaid?
First, you seem to be willfully ignoring the point, because crucially Google provides attribution and links—I see them under each answer—to the source.

This is what I mean by it preserving your opportunity to engage with your audience.

Second, you recall how even that, those answer snippets with attribution and all, have caused outrage over publishers and webmasters losing traffic and revenue[0]?

Now imagine Google only showed scraped content, no links or attribution, and you will begin to see the extent of shenanigans OAI/MS are attempting now.

Tell him what? It is annoying that they don't return the output instantly. This does throttle usage, so I can see why they do it, but it is annoying.
It's a security problem if you care about keeping your prompt secret.

It's even more of a security problem if you plan to plug your language model into something that can execute additional actions. People have already been caught out running generated code through eval() - and there are plenty of potential applications for things like customer support bots that cancel accounts or offer discounts.

Developers who are unaware of prompt injection are very likely to make dangerous design mistakes!
You would think all it really needs adjustable content moderation levels like search engines do with safe search. Leave it on the highest safety level and allow the user to adjust it accordingly.

But I'm guessing not everybody sees "AI generated text" the same way as accidentally returning porn, hate speech or something in a list of search results. Something I suppose feels more personal or deliberate about it.
I'm about to turn 40, was in something of the same situation if you squint a little. As with anything YMMV, but here's my advice.

Take your sabbatical, do something crafty but not-at-all-software-related*. I chose ceramics.

When you reach the point where you start programming tools to help with your new avocation, it's time to go back to the job market.

Took me about 5 months. I made some beautiful (and ugly!) things, learned maybe the equivalent of an accelerated BFA with a minor in chemistry, have a new hobby ongoing, and am excited and enthusiastic about joining a new company shortly, doing something new and different, where my skills matter.

* Woodworking, machining, welding, weaving, sewing, painting, bricklaying, stone carving, raising livestock, growing bonsai or orchids, meditation, long distance running. Whatever it is, pick something physical, grounded, and engrossing, where you can put a bunch of time and effort in, to achieve a real change of pace.

If they think you're crude, go technical; if they think you're technical, go crude. I'm a very technical boy. So I decided to get as crude as possible. These days, though, you have to be pretty technical before you can even aspire to crudeness.

The problem for Google is that they've already taken a ChatGPT approach of providing inaccurate information. The feature snippets are basically proto-ChatGPT, and as the internet has gained content, most of the top links are also inaccurate. You basically have to append a specific Website to your search to get anything decent.
The person you're talking to is arguing in bad faith.
This is not that egregious at all.

It’s basically saying Adani’s debt exceeds 1% of the Indian economic output every year.

There’s nothing wrong with comparing different units if the comparison makes sense.

For example, there wouldn’t be anything wrong about saying “the distance he needs to cover is half the speed limit”. You’re comparing 2 different units, miles and miles/hr (or kms and kms/hr in most countries). That doesn’t make the statement wrong.

Also, comparing the speed at which Adani accumulated debt vs gdp is absolutely pointless. It gives no useful information whatsoever. Providing the debt amount vs GDP absolutely helps place it in context. Knowing that Adani’s debt is equivalent to 1% of the annual output of the entire Indian economy helps put its size in context extremely well. Much better than the examples you’ve given.
You got flagged, but yea that’s crazy. I don’t make faang money but make like 60% and I still could only safely take off 8 months after having saved up for years.

Being able to take off a year to recover from burnout, without dealing with the stress of having no income for a year, means you are probably post money if not close.

If that’s the case and the OP has interests like they listed, just start a company doing something you like. You won’t get validation from building someone else’s product.
Sounds interesting! It would probably require a hardware solution though - a private key and encryption chip tightly coupled with the rest of the camera hardware, so that it cannot be reached from the outside (to extract the private key).
Micromanagement (sometimes) good?
Search alone has changed the entire way that humans consume information.

I believe this thread would have a much less dramatic headline if Google didn’t itself kill Google Search ten+ years ago.

Also, it bought most of the examples listed, not made these. It just saw an ads/dm opportunity.

I also remember using Opera on its last original engine and those “Get Chrome” banners which made a whole browser freeze and stutter on anything but Chrome. I’ve pointed that out a few times back then on forums, but not too many people noticed it, it seems. The “our ads our performance” trick fled completely under the radar.
The entire site was seeded by and built on fake accounts. An extreme amount of content is fake. There are people who control thousands of accounts.
Personally I don't see any difference at all in being in the same building vs on online zoom/video meeting.

I find it very strange that being in a room with someone is somehow different than being on a video call.

You can see the peoples' faces...what are you going to do in person? Touch peoples' naughty bits? Fart so everyone can enjoy? I don't get it. You are there to exchange ideas. Being face-to-face in person allows you to see the person's face and non-verbals. But you get that in a video conference.

I don't understand.
Weird, but not the first time I've heard this, makes me wonder if people who ask things to poke the system get put on a tighter leash?

Can you try this... ask it "Do you know the book Trainspotting?" and then ask it "Write a shorty story in the style of Trainspotting, but the theme is visiting an amusement park."

Mine told me about trainspotting, and then wrote a story about doing drugs in an amusement park. I wonder if you created a fresh account and tried, if it would answer the LSD question?

Just a thought, why is chatGPT being the only interface inevitable? Despite GUIs existing, people still use CLIs. Despite "visual" programming becoming a thing in the 00s, people today still program by hand.

It is not clear yet that an LLM chatbot will be the interface to everything in two years, people need to chill. Prompt injection will be a vulnerability for things you hook up your llm to. Don't rush in so quickly, especially now that you're literally staring at a potential problem in the OP before your eyes.
I did crossfit once. Exercise is overrated!

What I understand about meditation from hearing and asking about it is that it also takes practice to get right. Perhaps picking up a guitar once doesn't give you the same feeling as jamming with friends either.
There is a short comparison clip on that landing page. Granted not at the top but it’s definitely there.

The complaints I’ve seen have been more around whether that site should explain what DaVinci is.
It's widely understood in journalism that stories about suicide need to be approached very carefully to avoid the risk of inspiring copycat attempts.

That's not the definition of a bad faith argument. Here's a definition of bad faith according to Wikipedia: "Bad faith (Latin: mala fides) is a sustained form of deception which consists of entertaining or pretending to entertain one set of feelings while acting as if influenced by another. ... Some examples of bad faith include: ... a prosecutor who argues a legal position that he knows to be false" Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bad_faith

I have not engaged in deception in the statements I've made in this thread a single time. However, it is important to point out that Seymour Hersh has indeed engaged in bad faith in his statements about Osama bin Laden, by refusing to acknowledge that he either originally misspoke, or he changed his claim about the White House's statement. In either case, he is being deceptive in his statements as I've demonstrated above, exactly what it means to argue in bad faith.
The fact that the right solution is not accessible to everyone does not make it less right. If a specific cure for cancer costs say $20k per month, not everyone can buy it - but it doesn't not make it inefficient cure for cancer.
Ask HN: Is MSFT Azure OpenAI endpoint more reliable than OpenAI’s itself?
I’m curious if anyone’s tried both and if there’s any significant difference. OpenAi’s GPT API is pretty inconsistent, but wondering they’re both effectively driving from the same place.
I have been playing with KDE/wayland lately and after turning off all animations I am really liking it.

I come from i3. I am missing the independent virtual desktop / monitor mapping. But this can be somewhat worked out with pinning. I often only display one desktop on the second monitor. If I even use one. As I also find switching workspace is just much faster than turning my head!

What I am missing the most is the scratch space. Where you can shortcut windows in and out of existence. But I think this can also be worked around by using an extra workspace, and pinning windows via shortcuts.
"quite some time", is an understatement. The Apache HTTP Server was included as part of Mac OS X starting with version 10.0 (Cheetah), which was released on March 24, 2001. Prior to that, users of Mac OS X would have to manually install and configure Apache HTTP Server, if they desired to run a web server on their Mac.
What do you do for a living now? This isn't my cup of tea, but I would just love to read about it regardless.

The SO community can be pretty toxic with newcomers that don't ask questions in the "one true way". I can get away with asking questions because I know what will work, but that doesn't make the site friendlier. Also, God forbid you ask anything that can be considered "opinion based"...
"why are you doing this" isn't a "irrelevant stupid comment". It's because most askers are really asking a XY question. They ask for Y, since that's their immediate problem, but solving X is their real goal. So it's a question meant to make it easier to help, when doing Y seems a bit weird.

Labeling Chaos to Learning Harmony: Federated Learning with Noisy Labels
You would probably enjoy The Secret Life of Trees. It kicked my nature walks into twelfth gear. As did Google Lens for identifying stuff.
I suspect LLMs will start out as a part of legal services at scale - i.e. LegalZoom. In short, in places where there is some notional need for a legal service but liability and budgets are low. I'm sure there is some niche similar to boilerplate contracts where a LLM will have its place.

Example: a specialized LLM plus a structured input form where a solopreneur describes the kind of NDA he wants.

Why not? The competition at this level is "Google for a free MS Word template." But I bet plenty of people would pay a hundred bucks for an "AI powered contract generator" instead.

This stuff doesn't compete with a real lawyer and doesn't replace one (though we'll see what happens in a generation or two maybe). But plenty of people are using "legal services" today where real lawyers are barely involved.
> Genetic stuff always seemed not easily parallelizable

Not really. Processing one sample may take a few hours but if you have hundreds or more samples, it's an obvious axis for independent parallelization.

The cool kids use Nextflow or CWL these days. It's something like `make` - it remembers what you've already computed and what the dependencies are - but it uses a batch engine like SGE/Condor/AWS Batch to actually execute the jobs.
