I'm all with you on government regulations. They're not a solution for any problem and there have be other ways to solve problems. Like giving everyone more opportunities to get good education without being in debt for the rest of your life.

At the same time as person who do hold damn russian passport and see propoganda working well for warmongering I wish everyone took this issue more seriously.

> Ah, now we're getting somewhere. So this is formalizing the drumming-up-hysteria-about-Russia shenanigans we've seen in recent years.

Like it or not, but Russia is a country with a lot of experience of maintaining bot networks and has almost unlimited budget to spread whatever misinformation they think useful for them. Fortunately corruption take its toll, but even with majority of budgets stolen they can still maintain hundreds of thousands fake social accounts. And Twitter is actually full of them.

With modern diffusion models and LLMs (and especially now when tech like ChatGPT exists) they can easily deploy such accounts in any region and make them use any language. Propoganda at scale never been easier.

And it doesn't cost much to run either. Few mobile phone farms, bunch of automation software, few VPN services and 500 students working part time can generate as much of online activity as population of a small country. Propoganda at scale never been cheaper.

PS: Unfortunately maintaining giant bot networks is much easier and cheaper than maintaining functional military.
I've been seeing increase in traffic fatalities in general being attributed by increasingly large vehicles, because they have significantly less visibility and their shape makes it so crashes are much more fatal. Does anyone have causal relationship studies?

[That being said the rapid increase of pedestrian traffic fatalities depresses me greatly. Children are less safe to play on sidewalks and neighborhood suburb streets than they were just a decade ago. This isn't how safety is supposed to work.]
I remember Ecology lectures, starting from Lotka-Volterra model... And getting into more complex scenarios. One, was an actual model of how much fishes the industry can predate while guaranteeing the sustainability of their biz. Of course, it only happens in books. Sadly, the seas are largely unregulated.. Or even if regulations are in place, enforcing is so difficult. In fact, it can very easily turn into conflict between nations.
I'll run this if only so I can have multiple DMs side by side in very small windows. Not sure why the Teams people are so resistant to having that.

That was my thought as well. Hell, just subdivide my city as my CPU core count goes up. There would be overhead for boundary interactions but it would still be way better. We can buy 32core chips now.

So sad Elm is essentially dead.
It can start to push up that way if you count 20-ish% in Federal income taxes, 10-13% in state income taxes, 6.25% (on the first $150k for social security). 4.5% for Medicare, a 3.8% surcharge on any capital gains or non-qualified dividends. Add in a 10% sales tax and plenty of misc fees (another name for a tax) and while you might not get to 50% exactly, it's a pretty good approximation.

It has the capacity to model things behind the words, which is what "understanding concepts" ultimately means. That it is capable of doing so from merely being trained to "predict the next token" is what's remarkable about it.

Society accepts and protects property ownership of land but is not the only method possible.
Legal rights and social processes are just the most agreeable way to manage it amongst several people.

For example, You can own land if there is no society or other people to contest it. If you are alone on a island, there is no one to say you don't own it

Similarly, you can own land without social dependence if you have the power take or defend it.

If you've ever been mugged or read of nations conquered, it is clear that social consensus and the rule of law is but one mode of arbitrating property ownership. That said, it is one that works out quite well
See the breakdown of the bicameral mind.[0] What people now call the 'voice in their head' they used to think it was God speaking to them.

> Having everyone on a public addressable host is not good.

We had every host on an IPv4 address at the University of Washington back before 1998 and NAT was actually banned by the CAC Department since they billed by number of nodes on the network, so NAT was a way to cheat their billing system.

I learned quite a lot of internet security from having 1998-era Unix servers hanging directly off onto the internet with no firewall or NAT.

Cars destroy walkability. City planners need to shift their mind from arterial expressways to moats that prevent cars from ever approaching city centers and actually provide alternative transit options that aren't crap.

My partner and I had a day long layover in Dallas and trying to get anywhere in that city on foot felt futile even after we taxi'd into the middle of what I assume is downtown.

Not the same person, but for me, it's vital. I use my filesystem like a librarian uses a catalog, I don't want to lose that metadata and lump all my files in the same bag but with tags and searches. I know exactly where everything is.

I mean, give me directory tree, and a search field with tags, and I'm much more likely to find what I need faster with the former.
But that's not the tradeoff presented in the title "Understanding People Matters More Than Understanding Tech".

"Understanding tech" is not about choosing a tool or choosing a tech stack or picking a vendor (coincidentally, doing the latter right would be correlated with "understanding people"), "understanding tech" is about being able to build and/or configure that tech properly. In the roofing analogy, someone who uses the best shingles and hammers and other tools, but screws up the installation and the roof leaks anyways is someone who clearly doesn't understand the roofing tech (i.e. how to build roofs and 'install and configure' shingles) and we have no information about whether they do or don't understand people.

If you put the choice to that, then it's not about the quoted irrelevant choice but something entirely else - a mangling like "an unmotivated skilled team vs motivated unskilled team" isn't exact but at least somewhat relevant to the point the original post attempt to discuss; perhaps, to be generous, "a well-coordinated team of unskilled roofers with great communication and clear goals" vs "a bunch of skilled roofers each individually doing the thing they think is best without asking the customer" or something like that.
> He's doing real-time audio processing. So, first, he's got performance issues.

FFTW, long the fastest FFT software available, is a program written in OCaml that generates C. You need to think more outside the box!

Another example: Copilot is a Haskell EDSL that generates a hard real-time C program for avionics.

You can write programs functionally and get your imperative performance too.
Thanks for the honest technical write up - not easy to air one's dirty laundry to users. Given the scalability and stability issues, I am curious to understand the percent of apps deployed to fly are actually used in production/critical to business. Sounds like they have quite a few hobby/free tier users (myself included) who probably won't notice certain issues unlike paid customers.

Haha bollocks. NAT adds probably at most 1 microsecond to the processing of packets. It’s state for a flow is roughly 16 bytes. The nonsense about NAT being inefficient or slow astounds me.

I don't think anyone disputes that there were religious centers of learning that occurred earlier. But in cases where these institutions are Christian, people seem fine saying that they were monasteries and not universities. Monastic intellectual tradition is well known. But with many non-Christian intellectual religious centers, people seem intent on using the term "university."

Using different standards for Christian and non-Christian intellectual monasteries is strange. It doesn't make sense to call the latter universities and then turn around and act like the former weren't. For instance, from the article:

> The monastic university predates the University of Oxford and Europe's oldest university, Bologna, by more than 500 years.

If Nalanda counts as a university, then Europe certainly had universities older than Bologna. Or perhaps those institutions shouldn't count, and neither should Nalanda. I personally don't care which definition is used, as long as it's used consistently. But we seem to be dealing with definitions that change mid-sentence to accommodate whatever conclusion the author wants.

Backend simplicity also means a more shallow moat. It makes it easier for Digital Ocean/Linode (Akamai)/Hetzner to offer a competing service with the same backend knobs to turn, should they decide they want to get into that market.

The goal should be to make the backend as simple as possible, but no simplier. Complexity here leads to operational burden and toil. But that's why you hire good SREs and treat them well. What's more important is frontend complexity, aka how difficult it is for customers to use. Backend and frontend complexity aren't necessarily linked, which, imo, fly.io achieves,

What’s their secret in Idaho?
i have nearly 20 years of experience in operations and development (including information retrieval / search) and it took me a good 30 solid days of staring at this stuff with a dumb look on my face before i could wrap my head around the basics of how to do something even remotely useful in this ecosystem (torch/tf, huggingface, langchain, openai, vector dbs for embeddings, all of the ancillary python modules, CUDA, basic linear algebra, etc).

in addition to pure dev and ops people, i can see how a tool like this could be useful for prompt engineers, product people, prototype / spec / doc authors, and others who aren't necessarily going to be involved directly in the nitty gritty of things writing production code or MLops.
With the rate of feature change in Teams I'd be afraid to use something like this. I have a hard enough time trusting the official client to work! Beeper was working on a Teams bridge but threw in a towel for, as I understand it, similar reasons.
These critical institutions you speak of, they were not here since the beginning of time nor will they be here till the end of time. Blaming “the internet” for their dissolution is implicit assuming that they should have continued in their current form (just to begin listing the claims that are hard to sell).

Further, hyper-concentration of wealth is not something “made possible” by the internet. These problems existed before it and will continue existing. Because, if they are any problem at all, they are a social one.
Dokku Maintainer here.

I don't really have a business model. I do take donations from Open Collective (and Github Sponsors, which funnels to OC) and there is Dokku Pro, but those don't collect anywhere near the funds I'd need to stop my dayjob (at least now. Maybe someday?).

My business model is that code releasing is something I'm pretty passionate about. Dokku isn't even originally my project (Jeff Lindsay started it, I just took it over), but I've been working on it for almost a decade. It's open source and fairly simple, so even if something happened to me, others could theoretically continue the project on as desired (or build on top of it if need be).

I'd be interested in hearing any of your other concerns though :)
This paper might be a good starting point. It's mostly about vehicle-vehicle collisions and the higher risks from heavier vehicles, but they discuss pedestrian fatalities a bit. https://www.nber.org/system/files/working_papers/w17170/w171...
This sounds like telling devs to 'manage up' which is shorter/searchable. I think that's good advice for more sr devs but juniors are still working out how to solve problems as stated and understood with their tech at-hand. Having this extra layer would probably be too much to deal with all together.
I like to know what's going on in the world. Not reading the news is not an option for me. Knowing what's going on, even at just a cursory level is vital as it adds context to how I operate in the world.
Won't this break your TCP connections? NAT won't, because it's connection-aware by its nature. And you also get a new "address"(=port) on each new connection, regardless of any setting.
_You_ might not need to deal with the tricks of NAT, but more and more, your customers _do_.

For example, I'm in the US, and my mobile device has an IPv4 IP sitting behind the mobile provider's CG-NAT. My mobile device also gets IPv6.

Since you only provide your site over IPv4, that means my opinion of your site is governed in part by my ISP's CG-NAT, which you do not control. If the CG-NAT is overloaded, or otherwise having issues, that will manifest to me as problems with your site. I will assume the problem is with your site, and take my business elsewhere. In this example, if your site was also provided over IPv6, then my phone would have skipped the IPv4-only CG-NAT, and things would be fine.
> So what about Bachelor and Baccalaureate both being words that have their pre-Latin roots in Arabic

What evidence do you have for this extraordinary claim?

> Or the fact that ceremonial graduation garb in the EU and US, from the robes to the caps, is also based in Arab tradition.

This is also an unfounded claim. University garb is derived from monstic order garb, which in turn is from early Nicean period monk tradition. This long predates your source.
It was, but China also agreed to leave them along for a long time afterward and let them be relatively separate, and we all saw how that went. The CCP is not to be believed unless you have nuclear weapons aimed at them.

No, the reason is quite clearly the EU legislation.

IDK, quite often the PM has to manage external people/teams who need to do stuff in a project but clearly have their own interests (either their employer or personal) in mind than the organization who wants to use their services. Purchasing and outsourcing (which are key parts of most non-tiny projects) does require being able to make technical decisions that are best for the project, not the most profitable or easiest for some of the vendors implementing their parts.
The printing press allows magnitudes greater than that but it doesn't limit the number that can be written by hand, especially over hundreds of years, at an institute dedicated to study.

I feel that you are conflating the GPs point. The things that make your job tolerable or enjoyable don't matter if you don't feel like you are being fairly rewarded, and vice versa.

Even if these optimizations and improvements are enjoyable, why would I spend my precious energy and focus on them if I'm not going to be rewarded appropriately? I would rather save my energy and focus for things I care more about.

Reward is also part of the enjoyment. If you are not being acknowledged and rewarded for impactful work it lessens the enjoyment of doing such tasks.
For those of us that need to walk while the powers that be figure out how to save us from cars, my suggestion is to assume that they can't see you. Because they probably can't. No, they don't see you when you cross the street when the light is green for you. No, they can't see you when you cross the street on a 25mph school zone. No, they can't see you when you walkway is closed (for construction) and you need to walk onto the road for a bit. And, they especially can't see you at night.

If you make eye contact with its driver, then maybe they've seen you. Otherwise, they can't see you.

Yeah, either direction is changing a big part of your network stack, so it has a high likelihood of resolving random issues.
Wave equations don't exist in the real world, nor do they collapse. The photon doesn't decide which slit to go through when you look at it. Electrons don't spin. Quarks don't have colors. Those are stories we tell ourselves to visualize and explain why certain experiments produce certain outcomes. We teach them, not because they're true, but because they're useful: they do a better job of explaining the results we see in the real world than any other set of stories.

Similarly, the question at hand is not whether OP's essay is silly (it is) or whether it's true (like all models, it is not), but whether it's useful, as measured by whether this mental model helps people do a better job of jailbreaking/hardening LLMs. And like you, I'm not convinced by the example at the end[0], but I can at least see straightforward ways to test it, and that's a lot more than you can say of most blog posts like this. For all of the people in this comment thread calling it stupid, has anyone mentioned one they think is better?

0: Please note that OP's evidence was not that they jailbroke the chatbot - it's that, after that initial prompt, they were able to elicit further banned stuff with little prodding.
Dokku maintainer here

For proxying requests, Dokku currently supports:

- nginx on the host (default)
- traefik (via docker labels)
- caddy (via docker labels)
- haproxy (via docker labels)

We'll also soon support nginx via docker labels, which will work around issues where Docker sometimes assigns random IP addresses (and unlock TCP/UDP proxying as well).

I can't say anything else about Coolify since I haven't used it in a while, but I'd be curious as to what other parts are more modern about Coolify than Dokku.
Sure. That was just a simple metric that popped into my head as a counterpoint to the absurd notion that SV is the intellectual capital of anything.
It's fine if you don't mind losing legit users and keep the more motivated spammers.

Phone numbers have been so abused that it's a leap of faith to give it to an additional service hoping they wont go to town with it. Then you'll find a number of services that will attribute virtual numbers that can receive SMS, so it won't stop motivated spammers/scammers (tbf nothing will ? but now you have them "verified"))

All in all it feels like a losing proposition to me, but I don't know your situation.
