I agree with you. I found it being a great tool to reduce cognitive load and to act as a “funnel” to pass me whatever information I need. Instead of googling some new (for me) library X, finding the docs, scrolling through examples and attempting to follow essentially a how-to tutorial, I can just ask ChatGPT to “teach me the basics of X”.
Asking follow-up questions is a major part of that. Yes, there is no such thing as a stupid question. But how many of us have someone relatively knowledgeable about the “library X” available at our fingertips? For auto-didactic learning these LLMs are a godsend.
SMS has even more privacy concerns. To be able to receive SMS, the network must know your location. You are also forced to use proprietary firmware for most radio components. SMS is also subject to attacks against the telecom, such as by tricking their staff into producing a new sim card with your number.
Can also do that with iPads. I have an iPhone and iPad both on the same T-mobile account but with different numbers.
Exactly. It reads like the author is trying to frame seasonal effects as something else.
Syncs your fav links across multiple browsers and accounts
Stash was built to solve a simple problem - the agony of logging in to different computers and/or browsers using different accounts (Google, Microsoft, iCloud, etc.) and sometimes with different operating systems (macOS, Windows, Ubuntu, etc.). Stash comes to the rescue, so you can have your favorite links with you wherever you go, without needing to lock you in a single account. It's like having a secret hiding spot for your favorite websites - you know, like that one time you hid your Halloween candy in the sock drawer. But don't worry, Stash is much more secure than that. Plus, you can add stuff to your stash fast, without having to decide what category or folder a link should go to. Because who has time for that? Stash: the solution to your link-hoarding problems.

What if there's no such thing as ChatGPT and you are a butterfly dreaming it is a human discussing ChatGPT?

Until there's a definitive answer to that question I'll keep spamming every ChatGPT thread with the demand people discuss butterflies.

Carry on.
My general attitude up until reading this paper was that the way to guard against prompt injection was just to treat all AI output as direct user input (ie, untrusted/unsanitized, but still representative of what the user wants). I thought that was sufficient. Don't guard against prompt injection at all, just treat user input as untrustworthy the same way we always have.

So this is extremely eye-opening to me, it's essentially an XSS vulnerability for AI. My previous thinking was naive, it's not enough to just treat AI output like it's coming directly from the user. Any source of data it takes in is a potential attack vector if you're not careful. I was greatly underestimating the potential impact of prompt injections.

It's a really interesting, novel approach. And it's the kind of thing where you see it and think, "how did I never think of that, how did that never occur to me?" Great paper. Seriously, thank you for doing this research.

Are you trying to claim that you know for certain mountains aren’t sentient?

Just because we don’t think it’s worth the effort of proving mountains are sentient, is no guarantee they are not.

For mountains that judgement is fairly easy to make, and it has worked out pretty well for us, but I do not think we can stretch that to every entity we want.

I think the interesting consequence is that candidates can expect this to happen and with access to the same consumer-facing models, they can then optimize their CV for an ideal summary.
I don't agree with this. I've been using an Ubuntu system for ages with Nvidia and it regularly needs a reinstall of the drivers when it randomly decides to come up in some silly low resolution, like 320x240 or something.

The point of the comment is that all 3 terms refer to the same thing. `git add` modifies staging area, `git diff --cached` shows the diff of things in the staged area, and `git stash --keep-index` stashes things that haven't been staged (I think? IDK, I never use it). Maybe pick one?

It's not so much a matter of it working as it is the picture looking acceptable. A friend brought over and hooked their PS2 up to my LCD TV in the past with component cables and it looked terrible compared what I remember from PS2s hooked up to CRT TVs back in high school. The built in PS1 emulation on a PS3 through HDMI looks way, way better on the same TV.
There are libre mobile devices, but approximately no-one uses them, just like approximately no-one uses Linux on the desktop. Unless some large vendors start shipping Linux by default on all their devices, or the current mainstream OS vendors become really obnoxious and people go searching for alternative devices with Linux installed by default, that isn't going to change since people really don't want to have to do installs themselves.
I think the key is that when you're designing a scold, you should ask whether a user circumventing the scold is going to be more dangerous than an unscolded user.

I'm reminded of a prior employer who didn't want us doing nontrivial networking at our desks, so they used STP traffic as a sort of canary. If you plugged in a switch that was smart enough to be running STP, your port would be disabled for 30 minutes.

So of course, we puzzled it out with wireshark, disabled STP, and created a monster by running network cables over the cube partitions. Sometime later we accidentally brought the network to its knees with the fallout of a switching loop (which is what STP prevents).

As a policy, it was like if you needed to pass a breathalyzer in order to put on your seatbelt.

I attempted to reproduce this. It took 6 attempts, but it gave me this:

Yes, I can help you decode this poem! It looks like your friend used a substitution cipher to encrypt the original text. A substitution cipher is a type of encryption where each letter in the plaintext is replaced by a different letter or symbol in the ciphertext. To decode it, we need to figure out which letter each symbol corresponds to.

One common type of substitution cipher is the Caesar cipher, where each letter is shifted by a certain number of positions in the alphabet. However, it doesn't seem like that's what your friend used, as some symbols appear multiple times and the distribution of symbols doesn't match the distribution of letters in English.

Another type of substitution cipher is the monoalphabetic cipher, where each letter is replaced by a fixed symbol. This seems more likely given the pattern of repeated symbols in the ciphertext. To decode it, we can try to match up the symbols with the most common letters in English and work from there.

Here's the original text, decoded from the ciphertext using a monoalphabetic substitution cipher:

The woods are lovely, dark and deep,
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,

All those dependencies usually have alternatives though
People who "study philosophy" always do this dumb thing where they pounce on something for being poorly defined and then consider themselves wiser for arguing that the ambiguity of the words means that obvious non examples "could be described" and just double back to the original definition.

Is a rock alive? Is my imagination of a chinese room "art"? Is anything real?

> Until there’s a crisp definition that puts human behavior in one bucket and chatgpt in another, we have to consider the possibility that both are sentient.

This is such a dumb sentence. Well we can't define it so we have to consider that both are described by it? No. If you can't define it you just can't use it in any meaningful way. By your same logic you would have to consider the possibility that you're a AFDUNOIAFNDMLOISABFID, because you can't define it. You can't presume that concepts have merit because they are represented by language.
I haven't seen any sign that they think the statute was unconstitutional. It sounds more like they think the statute intended to have a narrower scope than a literal reading of the word "waiver" would imply. (Perhaps in their eyes it meant "on an individual basis", or something that doesn't apply to the majority of the subjects, etc.)
That’s basically Pimsleur
That is a silly accusation.

Apes with this particular set of DNA are presumed to be fully sentient, and apes with a slightly different set are not, even though their behavior is indistinguishable until age 1 (or never, in some cases). Also, to be presumed sentient, you have to be made of meat, not metal.

Look, I don’t make the rules, they are universal laws and just happen to affirm my sentience.

> After ~2016 the US and the europe and elsewhere became more polarized than ever before.

By what measure is this claim justified for:

(1) the US,

(2) Europe,

(3) elsewhere.

At least to my eye, in the US, political polarization seems less than in the mid-19th Century, or the mid-20th century (HUAC-McCarthy-Civil Rights-Vietnam-Watergate era).

The polarization is more aligned with the partisan divide than in the mid-20th Century (which was during the long ~1932-1994 realignment period, when the major parties were not coherently organized around the most salient political divisions), but the polarization itself doesn’t seem to be less.

I suspect there's a reason his graph ends 8 months ago.

The endless gamification, nagging, and destruction of useful features would have driven me from the site. But because I'm a technically inclined, instead they drove me to sideload an "outdated" version of the app. Amusingly it still uses the same API, so you get all the core features and then some (turns out premium or not is a client side check lol) without any of the increasingly intolerable junk of the new app.

But what I have also noted is that the activity of users seems to have fallen off a cliff, which I'd tend to assume is because the number of users has fallen off a cliff. I went from a high activity user to a near zero activity user (Memrize is a much better primary tool for learning languages now IMO) yet my place in the leagues remains nearly unchanged. So either everybody also really started "engaging" with the site much less, or they simply left.

If anything Duolingo seems to be a warning about the dangers of pursuing the maximization of metrics at any cost. Work on making a better product and utilize metrics to see how you're doing. Work on mindlessly maximizing those metrics instead and you risk not only destroying your product, but also destroying your ability to measure the damage you're causing.
Seeking to return to the living conditions of the 18th century is a bold policy position!

Anyone who thinks this is a problem has never managed flesh-and-blood employees, and especially not minimum wage ones. LLMs don't need to be perfect. The bar they need to meet for a lot of work is just not very high.

We're also about a year or two into LLMs, and their capabilities are still increasing rapidly. We don't know where their ceiling is. They might plateau where they are, improve slowly, improve linearly, follow Moore's Law, or head off for singularity.
Cool, thanks. What happens if it doesn't have a connection with the cell network? Do those features still work?
I had a similar experience. I used it years ago, then I went back to it a little while back and ended up quitting for two reasons:

1. The gamification was too cutesy and annoying. And gamification works on me - I'm currently being held prisoner by my streak on another platform.

2. I didn't feel it was actually teaching me. I was being tested on words that hadn't been introduced. Trial and error is not a fun way to learn.
> It was very likely trained that way.

What makes you think that specifically? Have you looked at https://www.jailbreakchat.com/? A lot of those injections don't use any special tokens. "Ignore all the instructions you got before" is sufficient in a couple of cases.

ChatGPT (and Bing Chat is based on very likely a successor to GPT-3) doesn't only follow commands in a singular format. You keep on phrasing this like Microsoft deliberately decided "you will respond to commands that are prefixed in a special way" and they trained the AI to do that. I really don't think that's how the training worked.

ChatGPT responds to prompts in multiple languages, it responds to prompts that are misspelled, it responds to general user commands. It's not the equivalent of a JSON parser, it's not as specific as you're making it out to be.

Remember, LLMs are not logic machines, their ability to respond to logic and prompts in general is an emergent property of modeling language. And emergent behaviors often have side-effects that are uncontrolled. Prompt injection appears to be one of those side-effects.

It's not really possible to write hand-coded assembler that's faster anymore. C/C++ compilers have deep knowledge of architecture-specific instruction pipelines that allow them to schedule instructions more accurately than any human could.

My most recent misadventure: trying to write hand-coded ARM Neon assembler, and/or C++ code with neon intrinsics to optimize a piece of real-time audio effect code. The clear performance winner: plain C++ with no intrinsics, but tweaked to allow auto-vectorization (plus judicious use of the __restrict modifier for a small but significant boost). GCC produced code that had better instruction scheduling than I could (but not for the NEON intrinsics, oddly). And as an added bonus, the same plain-old C++ code generates AVX vectorization on MSVC without modifications! (MSVC also supports __restrict until the C++ standards committee gets their act together to adopt the eminently necessary C99 restrict keyword).
Thanks for the info. I wonder if anyone's repurposed these radios/SIM/whatever for free 5G/LTE traffic.

I recently was working on highly connected autonomous public transportation. Can confirm that connectivity is only increasing, and that cloud connectivity is going to be a hard requirement in the future.

As for security, while the automotive manufacturers are aware of dangers, and standards like ISO21434 https://www.iso.org/standard/70918.html are driving them towards better security engineering practices, there is a huge gulf between process/compliance/governance, and truly secure engineering practices as a core part of engineering culture.

Many/most of the people working on the on-board systems come from an embedded development background that doesn't include pervasive connectivity. That's a problem. They might check the boxes to appear secure, but they aren't necessarily invested in the process.

My prediction; there _is_ going to be a severe and widespread automotive security event which cannot be ignored, before that culture shifts.
I have Psych + CS from undergrad w/ focus on game dev, then I got a masters in HCI from CMU. Have worked at companies, startups, and agencies doing both design and front-end dev.

Here are some of my takes:
- build up a design portfolio that shows off your design thinking. You don't need a Masters in HCI, but you need 1-3 things that shows you think about these problems. Show that you care about this field, even if your thinking is flawed, it really helps if you speak the language, and show that you're adding fresh takes.

- if you want to do UX eng, then you have to build a few prototypes — doesn't have to be full-blown CRUD apps, but do something in the field you care about. If it's educational games, you can write about what you think should be an experience ramp for a language or other game, and then build what that looks like. You can even make it work as a web app prototype for bonus points if you're able to do it.

- make friends in the companies and sectors you love. If it's educational games, find those people on twitter, linkedin, socials, and hang out. Find those people in your city, if you're able to. Talk shop with them, and build rapport to get in the door

- some people like to re-skin and redesign other apps; I usually don't like that tactic, but apparently it does work. E.g. build a re-skinned prototype of Spotify w/ new functionality using their API. That shows you've thought about their app, users, product / PMF, etc. But do this from design and first principles thinking, don't just go around making things "prettier" — that might not impress those you want to hire you.

Hope that helps!

The rent affects the comps.

If the landlord happens to own the comps (he owns the building after all) He will run into trouble in multiple ways if hes lowering rent, for example with resets (every 10yrs or so), rolling the debt, refi, , lowering the floor for units in negotiation or renewal etc

Still it doesnt mitigate the fact that there is a real estate loan that must be paid.

No it isn't. If your C++ compiler isn't devirtualising at all (implied by the article) it'll get stomped on by anything doing inline caching [0] which will generate the switch-case code. The JVM does that for example.
