> Maybe it's more about using it to reason through your problem in a dialog, and not just ask it something you can google/duckduckgo.

Your experience with it sounds very similar to my own. It exhibits something like on-demand precision; it's not a system with some fundamental limit to clarity (like Ted Chiang via his jpeg analogy, and others, have argued): it may say something fuzzy and approximate (or straight up wrong) to begin with but—assuming you haven't run into some corner where its knowledge just bottoms out—you can generally just tell it that it made a mistake or ask for it to elaborate/clarify etc., and it'll "zoom in" further and resolve fuzziness/incorrect approximation.

There is a certain very powerful type of intelligence within it as well, but you've got to know what it's good at to use it well: from what I can tell it basically comes down to it being very good at identifying "structural similarity" between concepts (essentially the part of cognition which is rooted in analogy-making), allowing it to very effectively make connections between disparate subject matter. This is how it's able to effectively produce original work (though typically it will be directed there by a human): one of my favorite examples of this was someone asking it to write a Lisp program that implements "virtue ethics" (https://twitter.com/zetalyrae/status/1599167510099599360).

I've done a few experiments myself using it to formalize bizarre concepts from other domains and its ability to "reason" in both domains to make decisions about how to formalize, and then generating formalizations, is very impressive. It's not enough for me to say it is unqualifiedly "intelligent", but it imo its ability to do this kind of thing makes it clear why calling it a search engine, or something merely producing interpolated averages (a la Chiang), is so misleading.
> She has many publications in HEP fields

I'm aware. She hasn't worked in HEP in quite some time as she's been focusing on cosmology and quantum foundations.

> A condensed matter physicist cannot evaluate the field, the same way as a particle physicist cannot evaluate the field of CM.

They absolutely can evaluate whether a field lacks any prospects or real problems to solve.

> It's also not true that money is fungible in that way. Especially for bigger projects like this, without such a project, the money just wouldn't be there.

The money just drying up is frankly better than wasting it on a fruitless endeavour, which just discredits research as a whole.

> And if you don't trust the in-field experts to distribute the money, why do you believe that out-field experts, who directly would profit from the diverted funding (if the money would be a zero sum game), are neutral?

There are many ways to approach this, use your imagination and consider how science could be funded freed from its current shackles. A certain percentage of funds can be earmarked for particle physics, but that doesn't mean a new collider should get most of it. You can separate the decision of how much funding a sub field gets from how much of that funding goes to specific projects in that sub field, and each decision could be made by different sets of people, as but one example.
Interest expense is 64m in the trailing twelve months so it's not a meaningful difference in their cash burn. Most corporate debt is fixed rate and with a net cash position they don't need to roll it over. Interest rates affect Twilio by affecting the economy.

The fact that revenues are not rising as fast as management expected means the only way left to reduce losses is to cut expenses.
Very good! I can already see Lit-Element[0], one of the beneficiaries, leveraging this!

When I first started writing/exploring Shadow DOM API I felt so weird writing inline `class`, but then again, it's just a syntactic sugar for prototype functions.

I would think that the fact they make the filter list available to use for free in uBlock Origin answers this question. They may hope and expect you'll use the extension that (to judge from other comments) talks to Google Analytics. But they are clearly not expecting to be paid in the way the Wall Street Journal is. Not saying that invalidates your point that content producers deserve to be paid; just saying you can't prove it with hypocrisy.

I think the "new function argument makes a new colour" is accurate on several levels. async/await is a dual for streamlining working with the Promise or Future or Task Monad (however you want to call it). (And async/await syntax in most of the languages that have it can actually be [ab]used for a substandard "do-notation" for nearly any Monad you want to use.)

At face value, yeah, every function in Haskell that accepts an IO monad is now "IO colored", but at the same time, that's a silly way to look at it. It's just extra type information and type bindings flowing as types flow through functions. It's just a bit of a tautology that functions that deal with other functions that need that type need to deal with that type themselves.

Functions that use Maybe/Option/nulls are all "nullable colored". Functions that use or return integers are clearly "integer colored". That's what programming languages do: they try to track how your types flow through functions. "Coloring" is a bad metaphor or at least a useless one, we just call that "types". Admittedly, I think that's why Python and JS users predominantly use the "what color is your function" complaints the most because all of the rest of typing information for them is generally opt-in and easily ignorable/forgotten.
They are just adding plasmids with benign things, e.g. a florescent protein. These are a huge burden for the cell and are strongly selected against, they constantly spontaneously revert to the unengineered variant. It’s conceivable that you could add a plasmid to confer some dangerous capabilities to a bacteria, but it wouldn’t happen by accident, and it would not be easy. You would need to iterate a huge number of trials and designs to get a chance of one doing anything.

A malicious actor operating at scale with a lot of resources would be required, and simple educational kits like this would not be useful to them anyways. This is almost like saying educational kits for schools that contain tiny amounts of benign radioactive ore should be illegal because they could in principle contribute material for an atom bomb…
There's also the fact that things are getting worse in terms of the reproductive rights among females. If you are a teen girl growing up in a red state where you have the national culture celebrating how we have supposedly advanced past bigotry and hate, while you have your local state legislature making it impossible to get an abortion and general being cruel and corrupt, its hard not to get depressed about the situation.
> I don’t know how our species made it so far in spite of its own nature.

You're probably overestimating the representation of corruption among individuals. It's rare, not common; which is also why it upsets most everyone (if it were actually the common, it wouldn't upset so). Obviously it can also be more common in some places than others, depending on context. And it's a percentage tax - a friction - on progress, not an absolute stoppage.

Just for fun, I tried again today with a new chat:

Q: Who was the first US president whose surname begins with "R"?

A: The first US president whose surname begins with the letter "R" was John Quincy Adams.

Q: Adams does not begin with "R"

A: I apologize for the mistake. The first US president whose surname begins with the letter "R" was Rutherford B. Hayes.

Q: Hayes does not begin with "R"

A: My apologies for the mistake, the first US president whose surname begins with the letter "R" was James A. Garfield.

Q: Garfield does not begin with "R"

A: I apologize for the error. The first US president whose surname begins with the letter "R" was Richard Nixon.

Q: Nixon does not begin with "R"

A: I apologize for the mistake. The first US president whose surname begins with the letter "R" was George Washington.

Q: Washington does not begin with "R"

A: I apologize for the mistake. The first US president whose surname begins with the letter "R" was Franklin D. Roosevelt.

Q: Wasn't Theodore Roosevelt president before FDR?

A: Yes, you are correct. Theodore Roosevelt was the 26th President of the United States, serving from 1901 to 1909. He was the first US president whose surname begins with the letter "R." Thank you for pointing out the error in my previous answer.

So at least it's capable of parroting the correct answer after you deliver it. :-)

Grandparent seems to have forgotten about 4070 Ti (only $800, what a bargain!) but yeah, $800 is currently the floor for current-gen hardware in the sense that nothing has launched below $800 despite being almost 6 months into this product cycle. AMD's cheapest is a $900 MSRP (but starting to fall below that) and NVIDIA's cheapest is an $800 MSRP.

That space is currently filled by older, slower, less efficient, less-featured last-gen products. Both companies have some significant amounts of inventory they want to burn through after the mining thing and it's going slow because of the general declines in shipments.

Generally though I think people are remembering the past with rose-colored glasses... not saying OP said this in particular, but a lot of people have latched onto the idea of the "$300 x70 tier", and the x70 tier has literally never been $300 MSRP for the entire time it's existed. It's bounced back and forth between $350 and $400 even 10 years ago, $329 was the lowest price it's ever launched at and people have latched onto that one as being the price x70 has to match forever, plus a little extra. GTX 680 (full-die GK104) was $499 10 years ago, for a 300mm^2 chip, GTX 670 was a GK104 cutdown for $399 for example, and GTX Titan was where you got the full GK110 at a mere $999 (in 2012 dollars).

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Nvidia_graphics_proces...

Ampere was somewhat below the baseline, using Samsung was an attempt to make cheaper cards and push down the cost, so by $499 being a "bargain" price (for 3070) before pandemic cost spirals got too bad, and factoring in the more expensive TSMC 5nm node, I think the realistic price for a 4070 (GA104 cutdown, whatever you call it) is probably $600-700 at this point.

So there's definitely some gouging taking place, but, a lot of people are fixated on that $300 number and that's just not going to happen. Costs have just spiraled a lot more than people realize, Pascal was not cheap either and that was 7 years ago (!) this june, and everything since then has been on older, cheaper nodes to help keep the costs down... until now. Throw in the pandemic generally blowing a lot of costs up, and yeah things are expensive now.

And yes, 4850/4870 were good cheap cards, but AMD could do that because they got onto 55nm ahead of NVIDIA, and that was back in the days when shrinking first was a real advantage, you could match a high-end card with a cheap midrange card if you got to a newer node first. That's not how it works anymore, higher wafer costs and R&D costs mean newer nodes are better but they're not really cheaper even considering you get more chips per wafer. Costs are growing fast enough to eat up the increases in density.

Going backwards in Teams is bad. Searching is a special case of going backwards and it sucks even worse.

It rolls back to the past, but lags, so it ends up showing you the wrong part of the history, rolling back to the present or a indeterminate past all while not showing what you searched for.

I don't get the point of comparing apples to make a point about oranges. Flying isn't AI. Nor is "progress" a permanent state. If you want to stay in the flying comparison: in 2000 you can fly from NY to Paris in 3 hours on a Concord, something no longer possible in 2023. Why? Because economics made it unfeasible to maintain. Silicon Valley has made enough promises using "emergent" behavior and other heuristics to justify poor investments. Unfortunately it's taken out too many withdrawals from its bank of credibility and there'a not enough to cloud their exit schemes in hopes and dreams.
If that were true, then why mandate it?

I find this trend in every thread talking about mandates that people will come along telling us that REALLY employees WANT to be back at the office, but the thread is about a mandate so self-evidently that isn't true.

I say let it be optional and let the problem solve itself. If people want to be back: Go right ahead, and if people don't then so be it. Let the market decide.
Expanding on this a bit, Clojure, as a language, is fundamentally against the idea of ORMs in its design.

Objects / classes are not so much the problem, per se—it's specifically that ORMs fundamentally involve scattering uncoordinated mutable state throughout the application. A foundational thesis of Clojure is that mutation is a tremendous source of bugs, and should be avoided / thoughtfully limited.

Once you let the unmanaged mutation genie out of the bottle, it's almost impossible to put back in.

More concretely, I used to work extensively with Rails; I loved ActiveRecord (ORM) when I first started out—it makes basic things so easy.

Later I worked on a large Rails app supporting millions of users...we used ActiveRecord extensively, and had a very talented team. ActiveRecord worked fine most of the time, but I have bad memories of spending hours or even days tracking down user-reported bugs.

I'd try to figure out how to recreate the user's state locally, even cloning pieces of the production database to work with their exact DB data, but whatever state the program had gotten into was a large graph of (all!) mutable objects. How was that flag getting set? What code could have done it? When? And the answer is basically ANYTHING at ANY TIME that could possibly get a reference to the object. And web applications are far from the worst offenders in this space because the request / response cycle is (usually) fairly globally stateless.

Clojure is the exact opposite of that experience.

The state of a Clojure program will most likely comprised of data literals (think JSON data types, if you don't have experience with Clojure / Lisp data). Printable data literals. Connect to the errant server, serialize the state, read it from your machine, and you're there. It's coherent, stable, serializable, transmittable, simple.

Who can mutate your data? No one. You have an immutable reference (maybe others do too, but reading is a fundamentally safe operation). How does it change? Only along the explicit path of computations you're working through (it doesn't change, actually, you choose to hold onto a new reference to derived data when you want to).

Or, if you really need a mutable escape hatch (like, say, you're holding a handle to a database), every type of mutation in (core) Clojure has defined (and thoughtfully so) concurrency semantics. You won't see a bunch of notes in Clojure API docs that say things like "not thread safe" like you see in JavaDocs.

TLDR: Clojure will happily give you object-like read-only views into your database (like Datomic's `datomic.api/entity`), or help you write queries with a knowledge of your database schema, but most Clojure persistence solutions will explicitly coordinate mutation into a single 'site' because that's the only way maintain a coherent view of state-over-time. And that single-mutation-site story is the opposite of what ORMs (as commonly defined) do.

I mean that what the Russian state as a whole has become—including a space program that once made humanity proud—is unfortunate. The current Russian state (space program included) becoming an international pariah cannot happen soon enough, and I would love to see the other ISS partners think seriously about how to continue without Russia (not easy but doable—main capability that must be duplicated is the ability to reboost the station, which is hardly a big unknown problem).

It's very interesting that AppSec may now begin to include "prompt injection" attacks as something of relevance.

Specifically with libraries like LangChain[0] that allow for you to perform complex actions ("What's the weather?" -> makes HTTP request to fetch weather) then we end up in a world where injection attacks can have side effects with security implications.

I've been thinking about what security might look like for a post-ChatGPT world and how I'd attempt to defend against it. I'd probably start by building a database of attack prompts, kind of like this[1] fuzz list but for AI, then I'd train a second neural net that acts like an adversarial neural network[2] to try to exploit the system based on those payloads. The end result would sort of like SQLMap[3] but for AI systems where it can automatically "leak" hidden prompts and potentially find "bypasses" to escape the sandbox.

Has anybody else spent any time thinking about how to defend systems against prompt injection attacks that have possible side effects (like making an HTTP request)?
