I tested around this a bit (although I'm not a prompt hacking expert) and it does seem like it's possible to harden the system input to be more resilient to these attacks/tokens.

It does seem possible that the inputs are vulnerable without hardening, however.
Isn’t this kind of the story of the stock market writ large though? I don’t recall the exact number but some researcher found that like 95% of the net gains in the market are attributable to less than 5% of companies.
IPOs at least have to file their business model + documents (balance sheet, cash flow, and profit/losses) before taking investor money.

SPACs effectively raise money before they even find a business model. There is no balance sheet, there is no cash flow, there are no profits (or losses).

---------

So while yes, your discussion about "bubbly IPOs" is warranted, its also kind of off topic with regards to SPACs. SPACs are just another level of risk far beyond IPO.

I feel like a comprehensive discussion would compare IPOs in 2022 vs SPACs in 2022, and see how the two methodologies compared.
Its more like the sector fund argument.

If money can move faster than business, weird things happen.

On the micro level everyone should invest all their capital in the stock sector that provided the highest returns last decade / year / quarter / day. Nobody never took a class in school that said to list your possible investments and select anything except the highest return, all things being equal. The problem is on the macro level that sector may not be undercapitalized so dumping the entire financial market into whatever won last time, guarantees a bump followed by crash.

Carried to an extreme, imagine a stock market so fluid that every penny of capital in our entire civilization flowed all at once every morning at 9am to the company that provided the highest return yesterday, on the assumption that high returns yesterday means high returns tomorrow. It would be epic to watch, but would not be a very functional financial market.

Lets say SPACs are a $10B sized market. And they had essentially $0 investment a couple years ago, a very underserved undercapitalized market. The first investor willing to risk it, can pick the best deal in the entire market, and make absolutely insane returns. The problem is the rest of the world financial market sees that insane return percentage and here comes a tsunami of $100T. It's not going to turn out well when that amount of cash impacts a market that's only $10B in size.

Xfree86 is the commonly-used but bastard stepchild of X. X started on DEC, Sun, HP, SGI unix boxes, Linux came later.

Linux is and was awesome, I still recall installing it using boot/root floppy disks, but X was around well before the '386 machine in the corner being used for CD creation was recognized as "Hey, this is actually useful"...

Yes, short term agreed.

AI has flipped on its head much of what we thought early AI would be like with creativity being one of its most successful targets.

I suspect the surprises will only continue to be, lets say, more surprising.

I've actually written a lot about that recently as well. FYI

Data Theorem | Python Backend / Automation Engineer | Remote from London, UK area | Full-time | https://www.datatheorem.com/careers/
Data Theorem is a leading application security provider, offering continuous and automated security testing of all our client’s mobile apps and backend services.
We’re looking for junior, lead, and senior-level engineers to join our world-class backend services team. In these roles, you’ll be responsible for implementing web services, libraries and tools in Python, in order to automate the security analysis of mobile, cloud and web applications at scale.
The model is primarily remote with proximity to London. We’re able to hire engineers that hold UK work authorization. Feel free to email me at pt@datatheorem.io.
Yeah, if it's cold, you'll just go to the company to check it out. It would be interesting if they did the referral thing apps do, like, "If you apply to Stripe through us and get the job, we'll give you free Bose headphones."
Or you get a car that needs a cylinder head replacement four months later. Or you accidentally bought a flood car.

"Buy used" is good advice, but at the low end of the market it's a risky maneuver. If you have the mechanical aptitude to evaluate the car, and you have space to perform your own maintenance, and other stars align for you, have at it. For others, it's worth buying a car with some warranty, especially if your livelihood is tied to having a functional car.

I don't think the survivorship bias involved in these recommendations makes for a good one-size-fits-all advice blurb.

I'm using USB-C for years. I've single Chinese cable, bought many years ago, that simply refuses to work. Apart from that literally zero issues. I've used the same set of cables to connect windows laptops(full dock with double HDMI and charging), MacBook, Android phones, headphones and ton of other stuff.

Most of these was either included with something or bought for about $5/piece. Nothing bad ever happened. Really it feels like some people got scared half of the decade ago and haven't checked since.
This is the shift from "capitalism efficiently allocating resources to fulfill needs" to "capitalism manufacturing wants".

Would appreciate reading recommendations in this area if anyone has any.
Same with national parks, the federal government sold recreation.gov to Booz-Allen and now they get to collect lottery application fees and processing fees for their mediocre website from millions of people every year forever.
This doesn't seem to affect outcomes, so it doesn't seem like a huge issue to me.

From the linked report [1], 31% of the Black homeless population is sheltered and only 24% of the non-Black homeless population is sheltered. I.e. despite receiving lower scores, Black people are more likely to be sheltered.

Within the narrow confines of shelter, equity would seem to demand the opposite of what they're going for.

The language is in a weird place. The language itself is okay, but you're often trying to use the language to compute a result that meets an interface that is never defined.

There is very poor ability to reason about the 'types'/shapes of arguments or the semantics of what outputs should conform to.

It seems to require either 1) deep knowledge about the orchestration of the evaluation of the key files you interact with (e.g., what the inputs to configuration.nix will be) or 2) reading many, many examples which eventually have the hints you want.

Well-rounded Software Engineer (Solutions Architect?) with 30 years' experience built on a strong Computer Science background. I've solved difficult problems and built successful products for ambitious enterprises, big-thinking start-ups, and international academic research projects.

Amongst other things, I've worked with a lot of scientists, data scientists and machine learning folks, helping get their code into production, and building libraries and automating things so they can concentrate on doing math and science stuff instead of trying to do something they weren't trained to do.

Contributed to a few open source projects, including WordPress (I helped get the REST API built).

I've kept up with modern development practices enough that I've ended up working with a couple teams recently where I kept wondering when the rest of the industry is going to catch up. I'm currently reading Dave "Continuous Delivery" Farley's "Modern Software Engineering", and Woody Zuill's new book about mob programming, "Software Teaming". I'm keen to not end up in this situation again but I'm not quite sure how to do that.

I try hard to avoid Microsoft Teams, Scaled Agile Framework, and PHP.

Outside of work: I'm a musician, composer, and do community theater stuff. Currently taking an improv class.
In my experience the ubuntu nvidia packages were hopeless, I forget exactly what it was but I think even basic stuff like hardware video decoding was not working.

Anyway just basic stuff wasn't working and IIRC the GPU fans would stay at 100% all the time. Just terribly broken.

I'm overall happy with the .run drivers from the site except when they come up at the wrong resolution and need reinstalling as I described.
Hope this website crashes and burns and Elon finds himself in a $44b hole.
The usual suspects have been named, so here's some less obvious ones.

As series:

- Hawk and Fisher (Simon R Green) - excellent fantasy action

- Saga of the Exiles (Julian May) - huge scope

- Sinless (KC Alexander) - possibly too filthy

As films:

- Corvis Rebaine (Ari Marmell) - series, similar to Abercrombie

- Halcyon Drift (Brian Stableford) - old classic

- The Dark Lady (Mike Resnick) - interspecies mystery
I'm not sure I understand what "study -> study" is. Is it studying without creating flash cards, or utilizing them? As in just studying the book, doing problems, etc?

If so, in my experience, then yes, integrating flash cards is much more effective. Especially for working professionals who often have to step away from what they are studying for many months at a time (except doing the cards for 15 minutes a day).

It depends what you mean by “processed”. If there’s some particular action you want to take in response to the message, then you put the database next to wherever that action takes place.

If it’s a notification displaying on a phone, the phone holds a DB that tracks what notifications have been shown.

You can’t reliably show a notification on exactly one of a user’s devices. But that’s no biggie; display it exactly once per device, remove it everywhere when acknowledged anywhere.
South Australia sold its state owned electricity grid to Chinese owners for 200 years. Every time people say our high power prices are due to renewables think critically. A "conservative" government granted the right to tax our entire population and our businesses for multiple human lifetimes, longer than our state has existed for a short term windfall that disappeared in the blink of an eye. Call it corruption, or call it mismanagement, probably neither given Australia's harsh defamation laws but privatization should be viewed with extreme suspicion. Services can often be run more efficiently in private hands but the opportunities for corruption in the sale of public assets is massive and there is rarely any accountability.

Original research article: Organoid intelligence (OI): the new frontier in biocomputing and intelligence-in-a-dish - https://www.frontiersin.org/journals/science/articles/10.338...

The Key Points from the abstract, for convenience:

> -- Biological computing (or biocomputing) could be faster, more efficient, and more powerful than silicon-based computing and AI, and only require a fraction of the energy

> -- ‘Organoid intelligence’ (OI) describes an emerging multidisciplinary field working to develop biological computing using 3D cultures of human brain cells (brain organoids) and brain-machine interface technologies

> -- OI requires scaling up current brain organoids into complex, durable 3D structures enriched with cells and genes associated with learning, and connecting these to next-generation input and output devices and AI/machine learning systems

> -- OI requires new models, algorithms, and interface technologies to communicate with brain organoids, understand how they learn and compute, and process and store the massive amounts of data they will generate

> -- OI research could also improve our understanding of brain development, learning, and memory, potentially helping to find treatments for neurological disorders such as dementia

> -- Ensuring OI develops in an ethically and socially responsive manner requires an ‘embedded ethics’ approach where interdisciplinary and representative teams of ethicists, researchers, and members of the public identify, discuss, and analyze ethical issues and feed these back to inform future research and work
I ran the numbers average wages/big mac index.
And it was showing a decrease in cost untill about 2000 but ever since then the cost of the big mac index has increased in the US, relative to average wages. Not that we should be eating big macs, but it's supposed to take a variety of inputs into account.
Bob Martin should back his claims up. He asserted many things in his book, without evidence, and with examples so bad most of them actually hurt his case. "Clean Code" is just a bad book, best ignored. Great speaker, though.

As for SOLID, there's one good thing: Barbara Liskov. Her principle have mathematical underpinnings in type theory, shapes Haskell's type classes and likely Rust traits too. The rest however ranges from situational to just crap.

Single responsibility is at best a heuristic for the real goal: keeping a nice and small API/implementation ratio. And it fails way too often, causing you to make tiny classes and one liner functions, whose implementations are so tiny they don't even pay for their interface. Pretty bad overall.

The Open/Close principle is just crap. Don't use inheritance if you can help it, and don't bother with keeping your code open for this or closed for that. Just keep it simple, so that when requirements changes you can rewrite the parts you need to rewrite.

Interface Segregation is a situational heuristic. Just keep your interfaces small, and you'll know when it makes sense to split an API in two or not.

Finally Dependency Inversion is cancer. I mean that literally: it causes your code to grow unsightly appendages, makes everything it touch a tad bigger and more complex, and in most cases it doesn't even facilitates testing. Because surprise, the overwhelming majority of the time, code dependencies are fixed. So let them be. Don't complicate your program with interfaces that only have a single implementation. Let your code depend on the implementations directly. It will be simpler, easier to navigate, easier to modify, and just as easy to test.

As I said, "Clean Code" failed. Miserably.
> the solution is to not buy cheap junk.

And, of course, never ever use a cable you didn't buy? No borrowing one from your friends, no using the office charger, etc.?

That sounds like a restriction nearly no one would adhere to.
That is quite precisely idempotency.

But I wouldn't get too worked up over it. The article is basically saying: You can't have exactly-once delivery (unless you take the necessary steps to ensure you have exactly once delivery).
yeah it doesn't match the API format anyway, which is a list of dicts.
So, those power bricks... its got that neat "remove this and swap for other plug types" connector.

One of the other connectors is an extension cable. https://www.apple.com/shop/product/MK122LL/A/power-adapter-e...

Hopefully the patent office will recognize that tacking on "...but with AI" isn't novel or non-obvious and a lot of the fever patents will be denied quickly.
Well, they might have to grease the wheels more than once. There's nothing to stop the city from setting a maximum rate on parking, or tickets, or recovery in court or during vehicle registration. Changing a city, county, or state ordinance/law or simply not enforcing rules is the purview of the state and mostly the executive.

I guess what I'm saying is that these are long term grifts and the city could deal with it (the fleecing of their voters), but chooses not to, because they know where their bread gets buttered.

If you want to nitpick about it, some Subarus are made in the U.S., in Indiana, and you can factory orders those models. https://www.subaru-sia.com/about

This is distinct from placing a reservation on an already-specced vehicle in the pipeline, which you can still modify with packages (but for which the engine, paint, and internal trim colors are locked). I placed a reservation on a dealer-ordered vehicle which just happened to already be specced the way I would have factory-ordered it.

Flakes may be a step in the right direction, but I admit I've somewhat halted my journey after finally grokking how to use nix channels and configuration.nix.

I haven't done any packaging or gotten into flakes as a unit of composable configuration. I know flakes are intended to make these things easier, but even the 'specification' for what makes a valid flake seems awfully vague.

I used the same trick with the previous GPT3 API (da-vinci) and it worked well, I'd pass as one big prompt:

User: hello (previous prompt)
Bot: hi (previous response)
User: who are you? (new prompt)
Bot: (here it continues conversation)

I wonder how the new ChatGPT API differs, other than the fact that it's structured (you use JSON to represent the conversation memory separately instead of one large prompt).

I guess I will spend the next day playing around with the new API to figure it out.
I spent a while marvelling at how far down the page the text starts (what's the record for that?!) but eventually found the colour picker page, which is pretty cool:

There is enough correlation between income and credit scores to speak in generalizations. Of course there are exceptions, but generally speaking, there is a greater percentage chance lower income people have lower credit scores. It makes sense. Many people with limited financial resources are put into situations where they need to take riskier loans more frequently than those with greater financial resources.

OK.

We've been here before, the "transparent RPCs" path.

SunRPC, Mach Messages and MiG, various even more transparent distributed object systems etc. etc. etc.

So it would be awesome to have some reference to these earlier systems and how this project overcomes the problems they encountered. I checked the FAQ ( https://serviceweaver.dev/docs.html#faq ) and didn't find anything.

Or a brief explanation why this is so incredibly different that those issues don't apply. Or a brief explanation that those issues weren't problems and everything is just dandy. Or even we didn't consider those systems at all.

Just something.

Cheers!
That there is some Indian introgression into Aborigibal genomes is completely not surprising based on phenotypic characteristics of their faces as well as other aspects of their cultures like language. It was remarked upon by "previous simplistic pre-scientific" British settlers, who it turns out were quite right. Many other older theories have turned out to get support from the genetic evidence.
Even if true today, very unlikely to be true in the long run. From the numbers provided in the title, this deal is like an effectively risk free 16% yielding bond, except the revenues will also grow with inflation.

And it's definitely not true on a risk adjusted or cash flow basis. Also these deals can be (and probably was) levered to levels which equity investments cannot. Borrow at SOFR+x% and earn on the spread between that value and 16%. Extremely profitable and uncommon carry trade
I don't think that conclusion is clear at all. Indeed your own link has things they thought were unclear struck and and parts of the InstructGPT paper that explains them inserted.

They do have newer models that aren't generally available that are different though.
