every MLM pitch deck and huckster knows how to dismiss that elephant from the room. simply stroke the mark's ego by assuring them that the overwhelming rate of failure in $MLM is due to the weak-willed who did not try hard enough, think big enough, or stick with it long enough, and this is thus their chance to distinguish themselves as one of the "blessed" few who reaped well-deserved rewards of hard work, goal setting, etc.
So Google and Bing is serving malware. Who would have thought. /s
In this paper, we showcase the potentially brutal consequences of connecting LLMs to applications (like search). We propose newly enabled attack vectors and techniques and discuss them:

- Remote control of chat LLMs

- Persistent compromise across sessions

- Spread injections to other LLMs

- Compromising LLMs with tiny multi-stage payloads

- Leaking/exfiltrating user data

- Automated Social Engineering

- Targeting code completion engines

We also provide proof-of-concept demonstrations on GitHub: https://github.com/greshake/lm-safety

This paper should be a must-read for anyone that is building a business by integrating LLMs right now.

TLDR: Giving an LLM any interface to the outside, like a search capability, has critical security implications. When prompt injection is used and delivered by adversaries instead of the user themself, bad things could happen- and as far as we know, this scenario has not been studied until now.
None of these sources are saying non-stick pans are toxic on normal cooking temperature. Actually, one of them says:

Most of these cases have been due to overheated frying pans within the household. At temperatures above 280 °C, PTFE-coated surfaces begin to emit degradation products in the form of particulates and gas.5,9 Subsequent inhalation of these by-products by birds can result in various clinical signs, including open-beak breathing, chirping, incoordination, lateral recumbency, convulsions, and death.

So I assume it's still ok to use at normal cooking temperatures.
> Minor nitpick, the judge can usually decide to override an arbiter, but they almost never do. It's rarely actually legally binding.

Your second phrase does not follow from the first one, at least I can't follow it.

If the judge doesn't override the arbiter most of the times, doesn't that implicitly make arbitration... legally binding?
I think most people in MLM do know very well what they get into. They just think they are smarter than the others who will be still in that game when it falls apart. Recruit, cash in, leave. Of course, they'll also play the victim card as soon as it turns out they aren't as smart as they thought.

Answer belongs to the user. Postgres is just one good tool.
After all these layoffs, I really wonder if people will take the risk again in these companies just for the sake of `I'm a MAANG employee`. But as the hype still remains with all these Youtube videos and all I guess the dream will still be there even with the risks that are there.
I find it absolutely hilarious that you're doing the exact thing you're railing against in two sentences flat.

Also, I'll give you that he does hand-gesture grandly in this Twitter thread, but he co-wrote a whole book about it called Chokepoint Capitalism. There's a lot more detail about it there, and the logic there applies here.

An Ammonia cracker that you seldom use, is an efficient form of energy storage.

You convert electricity to green hydrogen, then to green ammonia.

You store that in big tanks, since ammonia is used on an industrial scale.

If the winter is extra cold, or you get blockaded, or the international price jumps, then you have the option of reusing the ammonia that you've stockpiled for power.

Ideally you don't, so you can build the other infrastructure to meet the average demand, but it's there as a cheap backup.
Their Sprinkles API is beautiful for keeping a design system and code in sync, so much that Tailwind users had to copy it with the CVA library.
>Meta has the early start, money, captive audience and enthusiasm, but they don't have the hardware/software edge (that Apple coincidentally also has this time around) to really make the idea work

I don't think they have any concrete "idea" either, except "let's make some metaverse".
Also, transformer-based language models were already being used by Spacy, right?
> How do you define conditional probability when conditioning on the assumption that an impossible event has occurred, e.g. what is the probability of the Color of my wall changing assuming Garfield the cartoon cat would enter the room?

I mean mathematically you cannot apply a measure to something outside the space the measure has been defined on (the probability space is defined as the powerset of the set of possible values), so at least from a theory standpoint this question isn't that deep.
I'd be wary of putting all of these examples into the same box, though.

If kids can't play outside anymore because of overprotective parents or an overprotective society, that feels to me like a net negative. If newspapers are afraid to publish because they are fearful of libel suits, then we might miss fact-checked stories that are in the public interest, and it's not clear that that's a good trade-off.

On the other hand, zero traffic death policies usually result in fairly cheap and only mildly inconvenient interventions (if inconvenient at all) to improve the legibility of key intersections and dangerous roads. Drives to reduce medical error usually rely on increased training or the introduction of fixed procedures or checklists, quick wins. Safety regulations in construction require proper dust extraction and safety at heights, and really the cost in better ladders, scaffolding, safety harnesses, vacuums and so on is completely negligible compared against the occupational hazards and chronic illnesses often suffered by older construction workers.

(And sometimes it's debatable. I feel like NASA could take a bigger risk on some manned missions if the astronauts agree, but on the other hand there's so much money and effort involved in these missions that it's not so strange that they want to get everything right, and that feels like the right culture and attitude. I feel like you should probably be allowed to swim anywhere you want even in still water or when there's algae, at your own peril, but really it's not that much of an inconvenience to go to a safer spot with a lifeguard.)

My impression is that what really ails Western societies is not necessarily risk averseness but rather gridlock, where a small amount of people can block a lot of progress for the rest of us. Gridlock has made governments averse to big infrastructure projects (e.g. high speed trains) and big changes in regulations that could move the needle (e.g. land value taxation) but they're not really averse to the risk, they're averse to getting swamped by interest groups and influential people with a vested interest in the status quo.

I don't know much about the united states but here are the stats from the Norwegian state: https://www.ssb.no/en/innvandring-og-innvandrere/faktaside/i...
Interesting comparison. The Dadaists looked at a similar idea but at a social scale - what is art in society? Or what does society consider art, and how do we value it? There's a mockery of the social conceptions of art in their work, which this feels like a different take on. This feels like a personalisation of that - not "we should attack the idea that the socially constructed narrative of art is the correct one", but "the individually constructed narrative of this art is always a valid one".
Not even the bosses.

I swear I painted them by myself :-) It is a side project which I simply enjoy (painting the paintings) – but our walls were getting too full, so I thought I could also start selling them.

(In a sense, then it is also about me having a feeling - fun - while painting, which differentiates it from AI-generated 'works'.)

Thank you!
You are welcome. https://ubu.com/papers/index.html is a treasure trove of ruminations on this and art in general.

Here's a playful and provocative Dadaist manifesto by Tristan Tzara

> What we need is works that are strong straight precise and forever beyond understanding. Logic is a complication. Logic is always wrong. It draws the threads of notions, words, in their formal exterior, toward illusory ends and
centers. Its chains kill, it is an enormous centipede stifling independence. Married to logic, art would live in incest, swallowing, engulfing its own tail, still part of its own body, fornicating within itself, and passion would become a nightmare tarred with protestantism, a monument, a heap of ponderous gray entrails.

> it is actually possible to downgrade a flatpak

Only when the version you want to downgrade to happens to be within the last 10 versions! Why 10? Beats me!

Case in point: the flatpak package for the Element messaging client seems to be the preferred installation method for non-debian distros. But for many users, encrypted message search is broken! [1] [2] Some users claim that downgrading can fix the issue, but the flatpak has been updated too many times now for any user to downgrade to an old enough version - tough luck!

Yeah, Tailwind feels like Bash for CSS: save a few keystrokes here and there, at the cost of readability.

The problem is, everybody already knows Bash. Tailwind? Not so much.
Aha! I think it is a glimpse into the future of the country here (Germany).

When I was young, I walked to school starting at age 6, and I walked to kindergarten even earlier. (And I played naked in the garden, in a small swimming pool with neighbour's kids (all genders).) It was also no problem to be sent to buy cigarettes, which in hindsight, I find less OK...

Today, parents drive their children to school by car, in walking distance. I don't know how they have time for that, but they cause traffic jams they then complain about.

From here, I am sure we will get a situation like in the US where parents may get into trouble if they give their children some independence.

And from there, the US now gets laws that make it reasonable again to give some independence. Which will follow here, too, I am sure.

It is very interesting!
Sad to hear. It's annoying when you get a bunch of new regulation that is self-selected-enforcing and only the law-abiding citizens and companies will follow it while others ignore it without consequences.

It's spotty in Germany, since it's set up at the state level and depends on where the company is located. In my experience, Hamburg's DPO is terrible, slow and mostly unwilling. Berlin's is very slow but not incompetent. Hesse's is quick and responsive and feels like they have a good understanding of tech and want to get things done.
For me, it’s because I liked systems stuff at university. Scaling to and beyond the level of FAANG is pretty interesting and I’m not sure where else I would have been able to work at that level. It’s also quite nice to be able to really dive deep into a specific area, although more diversity wouldn’t have been bad (for building longer term skills)

Engineer productivity mattered a lot less, because straight out of university it’s not like I knew enough to be productive from the start anyway.

Compensation-wise, finance tech pays a lot better, although is most cases it is a WLB tradeoff.
> Willingness to risk death for material gain is not, historically, hard to find among humans

Often, when some company as a whole does something bad, there is a crowd that yells "jail time for the CEO", and this is the reason I think it is not the solution. If CEOs risked jail time for every bad thing the company does, it would select for scapegoat CEOs more willing to risk jail time (or even death) than more honest/competent CEOs.

Note that like with anyone else, if the bad thing is question is a crime and personal responsibility is established, the CEO can go to jail, it has already happened. I am more thinking about company-wide problems, like labor law violations, anticompetitive parctices or misuse of personal data where everyone involved in the company is a little bit responsible: management for giving orders, employees for following them, the board for choosing that management, investors and customers for supporting that with their money.

What you describe is not representative of how CSS is maintained in most companies. You always end up in a situation where it's impossible to track down what styles affect what elements so you start overriding and duplicating because you're afraid to touch existing CSS.
I mean you can't wander into a discussion about packaging without coming across a solution that does it well. Disclaimer, I do use NixOS as a daily driver now and it's not a panacea but after years on other distributions, it really is a breath of fresh air, so I'm not suprised it has many advocates.
I use Ad Nauseum instead of plain UBlock so that the data sent is just garbage. You would think something simple like clicking all the ads wouldn't work, but it works well enough that Google banned it from the Chrome store

Yes. That’s how signals work.
> A group of Stanford University professors is pushing to end a system that allows students to anonymously report classmates for exhibiting discrimination or bias..

As a citizen of post-communist country, I would never expect something like that coming from West. This system and behavior of snitching for party was something that brutally destroyed trust in society and we are still learning.

After over 30 years we have still huge snitching. For example during covid, reporting a suspicion of breaking chaotic regulations, that changed every week was most common call to police. Usually by people who was locked at home with bottle of alcohol because they would otherwise sit in bar that was closed. They reported every suspect behavior observed from their windows. Like state security was doing during communist regime. Source: My friend is police operator.
So Mexico is a state of US.

If i do a crime in my country, another country cannot charge me with my crimes in my country because it has no jurisdiction.

This was my first thought too then I remembered my own experiences from every single year. Maybe this is a mid June sun. The sun stays above the horizon more than 12 hours March 21 to Semptember 21, so it must raise and set to the North of the West/East line. If you go North enough it will stay above the horizon all the time in some days and you'll get light directly from the north at midnight.

May I offer you a piece of advice, which is to try not to let it bother you too much if the top thread is something other than what you'd prefer? I know how frustrating that is, I experience that all the time on this site. But it's outside of our control what people want to talk about. You can't push the river, but you can exhaust yourself trying.

Paradoxically, I personally believe that only by accepting this and giving up on trying to steer the conversation or convince anyone of anything can you engage in a way that might accomplish those things. Or at least, for myself personally, I find that when I get too invested my rhetoric gets too heated and I feel all sorts of perverse "someone is wrong on the internet" pressure, and I write dumb stuff that makes people angry but convinces no one of anything.
Yes, I guess I didn't think about that! (Oh, that proves me wrong, right? ;))
> The most paranoid / suspicious / likely to believe conspiracy theories are the ones who fall hardest for obvious ponzi schemes over and over.

Affinity fraud. Pretend to share the Mark's beliefs as a shortcut to building trust and then scam them.
No, the components come with specific JS behaviours, and the documentation has the Tailwind classes you need to add separately (which means it's still modifiable if necessary).
They mentioned 1000 tabs which may go some way towards explaining it. If that's not how you're supposed to use Chrome (I'd understand if it wasn't) then I'd imagine some kind of notification to the user would be helpful. Something like: "Chrome may be a little slow, you have 1000 tabs open" including perhaps a table suggesting tabs that could be closed (i.e. if she's opened https://bbc.co.uk/news in 20 different tabs that were last accessed a month ago) and an easy mechanism to quickly do so.

I actually know of quite a few people who use browsers this way, so it may not be a terrible idea to have something like this.
Need to tell us what kind of dev.

Mac is great for web dev. Not for gaming.
As a Swiss guy, I had no idea this was a thing. But then again, I'm also not surprised we needed to have our own special way of doing it.
Firstly, I like this project and the art itself. As others have said this is not a new thing in art but I think the presentation, the stamp and everything are quite nice.

Now secondly, obviously the premise is also completely untrue and almost impossible to achieve: The artist did have something in mind when painting these pictures: to paint pictures where only the viewer is meant to decipher the meaning while the artist themself has nothing in mind. He or she also did paint something aesthetically pleasing so there seems to be a lot of intention on that part as well. Painting something without any intention at all seems almost completely impossible to me. (Maybe you could trick somebody else into painting something without them knowing about it – but even then you are still the artist with an intention).

Finally I wanted to address the criticism by some other comments that art critique and galleries are always looking for an artistic intention even if there is none. I don't think that's completely true – I have seen plenty of exhibitions where it is explained that the artist "was just experimenting with form/colors".
With respect, even if you're spending millions of dollars per year on Amazon or AWS, you're still not a whale. More like a minnow.

You need to add at least a couple more zeros to that number before you start to get close to whale territory.

Ask HN: How do you avoid decision paralysis?
I keep on thinking for hours of what decision to take.

Most of them are about "What product I want to create", since there are a lot of opportunities.

With the combination of perfectionism, variety of choice and some uncertainty about the end result, it became impossible to chose a direction.

E.g, I'm a content creator. I'm trying to be good at it. Yes, I want to earn money with it, however, I want to make something decent. That's when perfectionism takes place.

And it's unbearable, endless vicious circle. I just keep thinking: hey, how about making a cool catalogue of UI/UX tips? Or maybe make a PDF? Or maybe stick to long term project, a course or something?

And so on =(
> . It shows up in new parents who don't introduce their children to family for risk of covid.

This is asinine.

Just because politics tells you everything is normal, everything is decidedly not normal. COVID is still an endemic and very serious disease.

Dropping mask mandates were a seriously and deadly mistake.

So sad they downsized so much that my username is now out of style.
Being in the "shoes" of that rat, it should be no fun at all to "command" going left, while your body goes right.

I understood it as the artist not aiming for you to feel a particular thing or interpret their art in a specific way.
Any plans to release this add-on to Firefox?
Hmm.. what about Haiku (https://www.haiku-os.org)?

Safari has the ability to enable/disable extension on a per-site basis... Even on a "ask every time" basis. Thankfully the ask shows up as a lock badge on the extension's icon rather than a popup.
"A key way of preventing pandemics in the future is to reduce our meat consumption. That’s the view of Cock Van Oosterhout ... argues that reducing livestock is ‘imperative’ for public and planetary health, and suggests more money and research time be spent on developing meat alternatives."

You may not want to hear and see things, but that doesn't make the problems go away. And reducing livestock and stopping eating meat is a logical position to take.

I'll be surprised if Twitter is still running by next year. They're still laying people off and turning off any feature that requires paying a vendor.

And how can you be more self righteous than Elon's friends who just tweet about "the woke mind virus" all day?
I'm not looking down on Reddit. I enjoy and use it as well, but it's clear that _most_ subreddits don't encourage civil discussion, and moderation becomes much more difficult, even for teams of moderators. The fact that one or two people can moderate a community of this size, speaks volumes about the community itself, not about the moderators. If this place ever gets its Eternal September event (some would argue this has already happened), it will absolutely devolve into chaos.

> this is nothing else than Reddit sub for IT guys

Hard disagree. There are plenty of IT subreddits where the discussion is nothing like here. There's actually less of a hivemind here than on any subreddit, as there is some tolerance of dissenting opinions, as long as they're presented tactfully and they make the discussion more interesting.
