Tell HN: ChatGPT is probably leaking chat data
I was using chatGPT for summarising some text, after I reloaded the page because of some network issues and my chats were somehow not listed on the side bar but some other random chats were visible, which I suspect maybe of other users.

Here is a screenshot, https://akamhy.me/assets/chatGPT-is-probably-leaking-chats.png

I have never asked chatGPT about any of these topics ever, I am very confident about it unless I have some type of split personality disorder, haha.

The chat links are:

Can anyone from OpenAI look into it?
Not really, they both rely on chance to win
Isn't that 45 hours just time sitting in class, listening to lectures? How much learning really happens then, vs study time outside of class, doing the assigned problems, completing assignments, etc?
Indeed: I wouldn’t bother. Teach procedural and functional programming to undergrads as primary focuses.

However, polymorphism and encapsulation have existed for much longer than “OO” languages. What is stdout? Seems pretty polymorphic to me. How does one gain access[1] to a variable declared in a .c file that is not exposed via the header. That’s encapsulation…

[1]: there are of course ways, but they are often also true of private members of class instances too.
I just eyeballed it and it looks like 2/3rds of the article is quotes from askamanager.org
Isn’t prompt engineering a human way to explore the latent space of the model to create the mathematical interactions we want/deem useful? A human way of traversing the hyperdimensionalty. Given your background, would you say that prompt engineering is about finding the spaces in latent space the bound the model’s “knowledge” for our uses?
I may not necessarily agree with it either, but it makes perfect sense and your evidence is completely anecdotal.
Nobody fired 250,000 devs. A good chunk of these are sales, marketing and hr.
My company is still hiring L5+ faang type engineers at the normal pay ranges, no major changes. Growth has been cut back, but is still happening.
It is definitely to keep investors happy because it comes with RTO, which is another thing investors seem to like.

That's _very_ american assumption. All good schools are "inner" city in my country.
Defense spending more than doubled from 2000 to 2019, from ~320B to ~730B, while inflation grew on average 2.10% per year during the same time period.

It is true that defense money gets redistributed across the population and into the economy, but that has always been the case and inflation was in check.

The fact that you are insinuating that this has anything to do with the current inflation problem is misleading. In 2023 we are dealing with the fallback of Covid fiscal policies, not defense spending.

That's because an accident and a traffic violation are different. Minor accidents are usually handled without police intervention, and this is by design.

$10 billion annually sounds pretty good until you consider that they've spent close to $40b on a Second Life clone.

Blackberry profits were looking good in 2009 as well, it wasn't until 2012 that the wheels came off.
Is it even possible to know the surface attack area for potential jailbreaks when models have unknown emergent behavior, the inner workings are blackbox and the input is anything that can be described by human language?

I don't perceive this as even being solvable and on the looming question of alignment going forward towards AGI I see the same. An unsolvable problem as the very premise to resolution is a paradox itself. Elaborated in further detail - https://dakara.substack.com/p/ai-singularity-the-hubris-trap
Yeah, in the past few years startups have become super stingy with equity. In the best case you end up making the same you would at a big tech company, and the worst case you end up with nothing. I interviewed at several, and after doing the math they would all need to 10x with minimal dilution, and have an exit within 5 years to make any money. Once you realize the odds of that happening, it becomes pretty obvious that you are not being given a good deal.
All that sounds wonderful actually. Cities are for people, not cars.
What exactly have they accomplished? Are they genuinely not building things that could result in improvements to Amazon's bottom line? I don't have a dog in this fight, but I think Amazon is screaming to investors, "wait, we can make money at the expense of our last twenty years of growth if that's what you want." That lens makes Amazon look like a very different company..

Surely the point of the exercise is to find a horse, and the biggest difficulty is what you do with it when you actually catch up.

And now consider this from the perspective of a wild horse: a strange being approaches, your instinctual neophobia tells you to flee. At a safe distance, you stop, only for the being to arrive again and the cycle to continue. You sleep, only to be awoken by its approach. Finally, too exhausted to run any further, you wait for the inevitable… only for the being to feed you a carrot, brush you mane, and wander off.

I like in the UK, and find any suggestion that I have even a thought in common with Americans offensive.
From the abstract:

> This thesis specifically highlights the value of small, mass-manufactured internal combustion piston engines retrofitted to participate in non-automotive system designs. The applications are unconventional and stem first from the observation that, when normalized by power output, internal combustion engines are one hundred times less expensive than conventional, large power plants.

And:

> The largest single component of this thesis is modeling, designing, retrofitting, and testing a reciprocating piston engine used as a compressor. Motivated again by the low cost of an internal combustion engine, this work looks at how an engine (which is, in its conventional form, essentially a reciprocating compressor) can be cost-effectively retrofitted to perform as a small-scale gas compressor.
Could not agree more.

Spending enormous amounts of energy to move around 4,000+ lbs of metal, just to go to the restaurant down the street, is insane.
You joke, but Siri could definitely benefit from the integration of a competent large language model. I have no idea what Apple's AI strategy is. Maybe they should get behind models that run locally and find an opportunity there.
> Do you really think anyone would complain if AI art didn't threaten their livelihood, in a space that usually celebrates inspiration and recognizes that IP rights often only benefit the biggest players? Do you really think a significant portion of that group would advocate for the strictest possible IP laws, which will wipe out a significant amount of human art as well, without some deeper motivation?

This is what gets me about this whole argument. When you're agreeing with The Mouse about IP law, you know something has gone awry. In reality, we should remove arcane IP restrictions, not continue to add them further into society. Copyright is already, what, 100+ years on average?

> The ultimate issue is that people are losing their livelihoods and the ability to engage in work that is meaningful to them.

Indeed, people are using a moral argument to mask their deeper intent, their fear of the economic damage done to their livelihood. In this case the solution is not to further calcify their work, but to...solve the actual issue, via UBI and the like.
Nothing remains forever at the top of the food chain.
I'm convinced this is why Apple and Microsoft (among others) keep putting money into AR development. It clearly sucks to use right now, so it doesn't make a lot of sense that they're putting significant money into it... but when someone (possibly one of those two companies!) finally puts out AR glasses that aren't awful, they'll be ready.

I remain unsure whether Zuck is running that same playbook, or if he legitimately thought bulky-ass VR goggles were the way of the future and expects to have a smash-hit before marketable AR glasses exist.
I just... got more fit and stopped being all that much tired after the trip so it stopped helping for sleep.

My CS curriculum (15+ years ago) offered Databases as an upper-level elective. Another upper level elective was Compilers. Another was AI. There were other upper-level electives, and any student in the program had to take a few but not all of them. Any student in the program had the option to take the Database class, but not all did.
1. What's up with that? Looks like testing bots, because most of the messages don't make sense at all.

2. They should mitigate these bots, because ultimately it will make the website annoying to visit.
True, class divide is a real factor: The upper class doesn't own cats (aside from "fun" cars for collecting) but leases them.

Somewhat more serious: Especially here in Germany there is a strong incentive to give cars as a job benefit instead of a pay rises as there is less social insurance to be paid. Thus there is a strong motivation for anybody in a well paying job to get a car. This directly leads to that class divide.
> will require an n log n number of people. (In bad organizations, it's n^2.)

I understand this is signaling that the author understands technical concepts like big-O, but why use technical terms imprecisely when non-technical terms work just fine?
Totally agree here

Of course, 1.5C will not kill 800+ million people.

https://www.ipcc.ch/report/ar6/syr/

1.5C is the (likely to be overshooted) goal. The IPCC report assesses that 2011-2020 is already 1.1C warmer than 1850-1900 (page 7), that the world has been warming by ~0.2C/decade (saw it somewhere), and that current policies (if implemented) will lead to a warming of +3.2C by 2100 (page 23). Page 16 shows various ways in which a +3.2C world will be hostile to humans. For instance most of south and south-east asia, and some of the most populated areas in Western Africa will experience temperatures and humidity levels that are dangerous for human survival >200 days a year. This is now all determined with rather high confidence.

That's surprising to me. It's very distracting to watch a video of someone talking that has even a slight audio sync issue. The noticeable delay when watching a video is surely greater than the delay required for people to start talking over each other.

If you kill yourself while cycling then you were almost certainly hit by a car, which is probably more likely if you are drunk cycling. But this is also the fault of bad cycling infrastructure and arguably the driver who cannot avoid another road user.
At least according to Amazon,

"Some may ask why we didn’t announce these role reductions with the ones we announced a couple months ago. The short answer is that not all of the teams were done with their analyses in the late fall; and rather than rush through these assessments without the appropriate diligence, we chose to share these decisions as we’ve made them so people had the information as soon as possible."

(From the announcement.)
Haha society changed? In what way? Of the factors you mentioned I'd say that had a negligible impact on climate change if any at all.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zJdqJu-6ZPo

And we can debate semantics, but the prediction failed to accurately predict the future, as is the norm for climate catastrophists. It's all emotional appeal to whip up the masses to vote, same way gun and ammo prices spike whenever a democrat wins the Presidency. I would hope people who actually have the power to help solve the problem are looking at the issue more objectively.
I've used gitea for years in my homelab - so far great for my non-exterprise needs.
Open-standard social network isn't a worthy problem? Social media solves a real problem, and Mastodon allows users to participate without submitting to the whims of Zuckerberg or Musk.

Yes, Mastodon instances can (and do) have opinionated administrators, but Mastodon is unique among social media in that you can move to another instance without abandoning the entire network altogether.
You might like Guix System or NixOS for their concept of "generations" and easy rollbacks. It's pretty hard to break your system majorly. At worst you roll back and then figure out what broke (when you feel like it), and then you can even do partial upgrades and skip certain packages if they caused issues after an upgrade.
I'm closing on my 50th interview since the start of the year, and 3/4 of them were junior SWE or internship positions.

I encountered the same lack of foundational computer science knowledge, but -here 's the twist- mostly from American students.

The best candidates I ever interviewed came from (in no particular order) : the Technical University of Munich, 42/Epita/Epitech, and the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne.
I wonder if Google will seize the opportunity to leverage their inhouse AI expertise to outmaneuver the competition. In theory having inhouse AI should mean they can more quickly iterate ideas, unless they truly are the corporate wasteland people believe them to be.

Did they mention their regulations that is attempting to destroy crop yields, ie limit inputs, is the reason crop yields will drop and that the extra carbon in the atmo has been an inconvenient truth it's helped offset that...

The talking down to people, coupled with hyperbolic dialogue has just fatigued everyone on this file.

I think climate activism is total shit and ignores all the environmental damage that goes along with it.
U.S. Intel Helped India Rout China in 2022 Border Clash
We are a medium large company (close to 10k employees globally) and the main focus of this year of the data teams is to figure out every possibility to reduce Google Cloud costs.

The savings could be in 7 digits TBH annually. There are so many low hanging fruits no one cares when the day is good. Tables that have no partition expiration that grow into hundreds or even thousands of TBs, buckets with same amount of data that no one looks at, VMs that no service uses, large clusters well above their load (e.g. only 20% used maximum -- and a full replica too), very bad ETL pipelines that cost hundreds of bucks EVERY RUN, very costly queries generated by Looker dashboards EVERY view...there are just too many.
People speak as if risk is a positive. It isn't. It's intrinsically bad. The issue isn't risk avoidance, but excessive risk-avoidance. The issue is paying too high of a price to avoid risks. A top level comment mentioned climbing trees. This is an example of a somewhat risky activity that is well worth continuing.

Why is that? The big benefit as I see it is that it is natural free-form play. That's freedom. It's also a play as old as time, letting them connect with our ancestors. It teaches them to interact with an environment that doesn't care about them one way or another, it isn't designed to be safe, it isn't designed to be fun or engaging. Trees are just out there for their own reasons. Exploring that, playing with that and respecting that, it seems like it should be very healthy and teach the right lessons and intuitions and prepare them for the rest of the world.
> As state-funded pre-kindergarten (pre-K) programs expand, it is critical to investigate their short- and long-term effects. This article presents the results through sixth grade of a longitudinal randomized control study of the effects of a scaled-up, state-supported pre-K program. The analytic sample includes 2,990 children from low-income families who applied to oversubscribed pre-K program sites across the state and were randomly assigned to offers of admission or a wait list control. Data through sixth grade from state education records showed that the children randomly assigned to attend pre-K had lower state achievement test scores in third through sixth grades than control children, with the strongest negative effects in sixth grade. A negative effect was also found for disciplinary infractions, attendance, and receipt of special education services, with null effects on retention.
At one time, the CS degree was that.

My CS degree had digital logic (far too many hours working on Mentor Graphics), machine language programming (from Professor Larus of SPIM fame), compilers (from Professor Fischer), databases (from Professor DeWitt), and networking (from Professor Landweber).

Many classes were cross listed with the engineering department. The ECE degree was much more focused on the "designing a computer" rather than "writing software".

The difficult part there is that some degrees are "build hardware", some are "write software", others are "study the science", and others are "a survey of all things"... and others are "just enough in the business school to write html and do JavaScript."
I think he is arguing in favor of multiple concurrent processes ("single thread each"), instead of messing around with low-level threads + synchronization primitives (which would achieve a single fast process that uses multiple CPU cores by itself).

It's the "final warning" in the sense that the next report is going to be issued in 2030. By that time, 1.5C will be be inevitable. We may not have hit the temperature yet, but only because it takes a few years for the temperature to respond to the greenhouse gases already in the atmosphere.

Which is to say, if we don't change right now, then when the next report comes out, we will already have enough CO2 in the atmosphere to be at 1.5C -- even if we stopped burning fossil fuels absolutely and utterly.

I'm really not sure how much such a warning can accomplish, after decades of having been ignored in the past. I've been treating 1.5C as a fait accompli already.

The problem for me is less about the actual temperature, or even the disasters that will come of it, but what it does to American culture right now. The whole world has failed to solve the problem, but I think America was the lynchpin. We deny that the problem exists, making it much harder for the rest of the world to summon the will to spend money to do it.

But in America, that has cost us our relationship to science. Any HN discussion is sure to be filled with criticisms of the scientists, many of them insisting now that this is all some kind of leftist power trip. That has utterly destroyed not just our ability to use science for any national ends, but an implacable, violent hostility between political groups.

Climate change is only one part of that culture war, but it is a particularly strong example. The climate conspiracy theorists are simply wrong, just plain factually on the face of it. It's not a matter of values, or interpretation, or conflicting scientific models. There's a right and a wrong answer, and if even that turns to bitter hatred, how an we possibly resolve any genuine differences of opinion?
> And "Money doesn't buy happiness"

It doesn't. Money buys comfort, power, prestige, security, ..., but not happiness. A happy person is a happy person. An unhappy person is an unhappy person. It sucks in a way but from a different pov it is a wonderful equalizing fact of human experience (like the bliss of orgasm, available to poor and rich alike).
Oh dude, looks like they have Indiana Jones Pinball Adventure! This is the pinball machine! I've wanted to play it again for a long time.

Pretty friggin' awesome. I'm so glad someone still has one running, and I think I'll be visiting this place rather soon.
See my other comment: he pulled out without looking because he was in the middle of cutting up other road users (me in this case). That’s driving without due care and attention which is a traffic violation in the U.K.

There are a few very good recruiters out there, who will have you interviewing for jobs within days, and probably fielding offers within a week or two. There are also vast seas of terrible recruiters who do nothing but keyword matching and spamming your details out to anyone with a pulse, who are at best neutral in your ability to find a job, and in the worst case will actively make things harder for you because companies will be unwilling to cover their fees.
Except that when you're marching with swastikas, and displaying nazi signs and slogans, it's kind of difficult to claim you're not a nazi. But you keep right on assuming you have a moral position.
