I noticed it too, but it doesn't necessarily bother me. Possibly they're just trying to say, "This incident may have made us look like we're complete amateurs who don't have any clue about security, but it wasn't like that."

Using someone else's library doesn't absolve you of responsibility, but failing to be vigilant at thoroughly vetting and testing external dependencies is a different kind of mistake than creating a terrible security bug yourself because your engineers don't know how to code or everyone is in too much of a rush to care about anything.

> a loaf of my favourite bread increased from £3 to £4

What on earth are you eating? From where? The average 800g loaf costs £1.36.

But to feed into your point about who suffers, if you had to give up your luxury loaf, you could still afford two average loaves in its place. People who could only afford a 80p loaf before are now going without.
I think you’re reading too much into it. Being an open source library is relevant because it means it’s third party and doesn’t come with a support agreement, so fixing a bug is a somewhat different process than if it were in your own code or from a proprietary vendor.

Yes, it’s technically up to you to vet all your dependencies, but in practice, often it doesn’t happen, people make assumptions that the code works, and that’s relevant too.
The obvious retort is that many people, especially Gen Z, do believe civilization has stagnated, and there is no opportunity, culture, or appealing destinations. I personally think they’re crazy, though I do appreciate them leaving the nice areas empty for me. :)

I'm shocked a company with as good of a track record as a reliable gaming company to have in your living room & backpack would make such an incredibly shortsighted & negative a frackas as this. This is such a huge unforced error.

Nintendo has such a huge cash reserve, & can easily own this for another couple decades, at minimal cost. However they failed to materialize the internal will to do the obviously right & easy thing, to let their own past works burn, is a huge error that will greatly injure Nintendo's name for decades.
Generally, disclosing disabilities when applying is voluntary. So the only problem is if they up front said they didn't have a disability. It is neither unethical nor illegal not to mention it during the application process.
Godwin's law in effect in comment number two (at the time of writing). I see the sentiment you're trying to portray but maybe try and be a little more verbose so you don't have to name the 20th century atrocities. Something like:

Being deluded into thinking ["the rich" nor the "lower class" are monolithic entities] is a recipe for abuse by those in power.
If you hold that book up to the same standards it probably has be banned too right? Lots of sexually explicit content in that one.

Edit: Instead of downvoting maybe do a little research first? Here's a story about a lawsuit in Utah aiming to remove the bible from schools based on the same silly grounds they are banning other books: https://www.sltrib.com/news/education/2023/03/22/utah-parent...
The lower class does suffer the most, but unfortunately it is the policies intended to help them which actually cause most of the problem. By giving money to people without producing more stuff - or even making it harder to produce the same - you MUST have inflation, rationing, or empty shelves - and often all three.

The solution to allowing lower classes to have more stuff is to make it easier for everybody to produce more stuff.

Giving money CAN help with distribution of stuff, allowing poor people to purchase a larger share. But it requires lots of money given directly to the people that need it (vs allowing the gov't to spend it themselves). And also requires lots of high inflation. Imagine, for example, just giving everyone £10M to spend on whatever they want. This would not create any more stuff - but it would sure be a big equalizer for people buying that stuff!

But really - if we could all focus a bit more on production - allowing, encouraging, and celebrating it - then we'd all have a lot more stuff.
Interesting. I pasted in the outage report, and then asked ChatGPT to give me a single sentence summary and it gave me an answer way longer than a sentence. I pointed out that it wasn't a single sentence and it gave me:

> ChatGPT experienced an outage due to a bug in an open-source library that allowed some users to see titles from another active user's chat history and payment-related information of 1.2% of ChatGPT Plus subscribers was exposed; the bug has since been patched and actions have been taken to prevent future incidents.

I then asked it why there was the outage and it spit out:

> The exact cause of the Facebook outage is unknown, but it is believed to be related to a configuration change in the company's routers.

It's likely because I ran out of tokens because the OpenAI outage report is long. Pasting in the text of the outage report, and then re-asking about why, it was able to give a much better answer:

> There was an outage due to a bug in an open-source library that allowed some users to see titles from another active user's chat history and also unintentionally exposed payment-related information of 1.2% of ChatGPT Plus subscribers who were active during a specific nine-hour window.

Querying it further, again having to repeat the whole OpenAI outage report, and asking it a few different ways I eventually managed to get this succinct answer:

> The bug was caused by the redis-py library's shared pool of connections becoming corrupted and returning cached data belonging to another user when a request was cancelled before the corresponding response was received, due to a spike in Redis request cancellations caused by a server change on March 20.

It did take me more than a few minutes to get to there, so just actually reading the report would have been faster, and I ended up having to read the report to verify that answer was correct and not a hallucination anyway, so our jobs are safe for now.
They specifically called out the need to review all code that ever interacted with github. The implication is that you can't trust it hasn't been tampered with.

That would be ideal, except that the user experience around SSH host certificates is currently woeful.
Erotica is already pretty cheap.

What is dangerous is erotica that is better calibrated to the individual and also the development of "parasocial" relationships as in

https://www.vice.com/en/article/n7zaam/replika-ceo-ai-erotic...

I think the greatest controversy about modern erotica is (or should be) the development of parasocial relationships around platforms such as OnlyFans.

Traditional pornography seemed frequently ugly and poorly calibrated, I would point out the "pigface" scowls of models under pancake makeup that may have originated with Penthouse but somehow got copied througout the industry or numerous mannerism that you see in video pornography that are pretty ugly and offputting in my mind but that I imagine viewers think must be sexy because why would they be putting things that aren't sexy in my porn?

The new interactive pornography is much more aesthetic and better calibrated but it also promotes "simping" behavior that might be more harmful than the old pornography with all its selfish memes.
1. Giant tax cut, inflationary

2. Giant tax cut, inflationary

3. Without corresponding tax increase or cuts elsewhere, inflationary

Taxes are the last reason people don't have enough in retirement. If you only have 100k saved up in a traditional 401k, and say you're doing pretty well in the 22% income tax bracket overall so that over time gets taxed down to 78k, over the course of a 20 year retirement that's just $1100.00/year in taxes. That's what, a few weeks' groceries? Taking those taxes away by contrast will be extremely inflationary and lead to people losing more money to inflation than they saved in taxes.

It doesn’t boggle my mind at all. Session data appears, and is used to render the page. Do you verify every time the actual cookie and go back to the DB to see what user it pointed to?

No, everyone assumes their session object is instantiated with the right values at that level of the code.
> The user could then ask to use a plugin that will return useless info?

Plugins don’t just “return data” they perform arbitrary actions. [0] “Unreleased” presumably in some cases means “not adequately tested” regarding the instructions to the model as to when and how to use the API that the plugin wraps. An ubreleased plugin is effectively untested code wrapping an exposed, possibly read/write, API.

[0] examples given on the OpenAI plugins docs website include “booking a flight, ordering food, etc.”
As a european that frequently discusses political topics with people from the US, I recall times when conservatives over there were all about "small government" and "freedom of speech" and how they would literally fight for those rights (that's what the second amendment was written for in their eyes).

Where are those people today? Why are they not more vocal? Or were these values always just a veneer for something else that now comes to light?
Harsh, no. I'm finding myself more in agreement more than ever. The future is "added value" such as making tools available, not just a answering questions with a CTA to your product/service.

Wolfram alpha said converting U-238 to food calories was nonsensical, but chat gpt decided it would ignore wolfram alpha's response and do it's best.

Yeah, it accompanies the response with it's boilerplate caveat which is meaningless fluff. It's also not pointing out any of the actual issues with why its response is utter nonsesense.
This isn’t about actual harms or actual privacy risks. Facebook directly interfered in the 2016 election and no laws changed, no one went to prison, Mark Zuckerberg had a few cringe moments in front of Congress and then they pretty much forgot about him. So the message I’m getting is, no actual existential harm will come to a social media company that allows that to happen.

I also do not think about the prices of (most) individual items, because I don't want to devote that much of my memory to the constantly fluctuating prices of dozens of small-ticket purchases.

This is just so alien to me. I'm in a not-so-great area of North Islington, and never even _seen_ violent crime happening.

GPT-4 (as well as all GPTs before it has a limitation): it has to produce an output in a single pass. It cannot pause and think, it cannot backtrack. So yes, it makes weird mistakes sometimes.

A human programmer will need to look at code, then think a bit, then look at it again, etc.

You can put programmers into a similar situation: try reading code aloud instead of showing it to them on screen. If they can't answer right, does it mean they aren't intelligent? Intelligence =/= never making a mistake.

Now that you know GPT's limitations, perhaps you would consider asking questions one at a time instead of intentionally trying to confuse it. Considering multiple questions in a single pass increases error rate.

> so probably any question you ask it has already been asked somewhere and any useful code you present to it or ask it to generate is included in its training data

The "it just recites training data" idea is demonstrably false. Do a bit of combinatorics. Or write a unique piece of code which is not a gotcha question and try it.
In most places yes, you aren’t allowed to even ask these questions during an interview since it can introduce a bias.

There is a major risk to employers pretty much any western country when it comes to these sort of discrimination claims.
It's not only the inflation, it's also things like food shortages on shelves, a shrinking economy, decreased labour force etc.

Yes I would say most American veterans are optimistic, and budgets should be, will be, and are being increased to take care of them and to elevate their status even more. Especially in these trying times.

There is no boot crushing this face or jaw. Everyone is working together to win together across the entire United States. It is cheap online astro turfing and gas lighting and psy ops bullshit that would suggest otherwise. The data shows that the long-term view of the American narrative is intact and stronger than ever.

It is individually variable because we are talking about hundreds of millions of individuals. But it is universally applicable, across the United States, because it's built into the basic charter of the country (the Constitution) and has also been taught to the children for decades still. We may be experiencing a slight negative blip in the road by confronting a lot of negativity and toxicity and psy ops online for now, but the reliable data and the verifiable real-world experience across the United States on this front resolutely demonstrate that American Optimism is truly a value that continues to exist and fuel the next batch of massive innovation in products and services boosting everyone including the lowest classes.
I love how all these AI researchers who write small code snippets in jupyter notebooks all day think LLM's are the end of software. Not disparaging AI research; it clearly takes a lot of expertise and work to do it well. But that's not software development.

Stephen Wolfram actually wrote a fantastic piece in January about what Wolfram Alpha how it can be used to bring factual / analytical capability to ChatGPT

https://writings.stephenwolfram.com/2023/01/wolframalpha-as-...

Yesterday, the link between ChatGPT and Wolfram Alpha was set up (announcement was March 23rd 2023 ) which was probably the driver for the reddit post - a user trying out the new capability.

https://writings.stephenwolfram.com/2023/03/chatgpt-gets-its...

A bit of side commentary: I actually see these new AI tools as key facilitation tools in the next step into the world that Neal Stephenson envisions in the Book "Fall": a future that is a full-on information dystopia where the quality of your information filtering capabilities determines the quality of information you see.... because the internet and associated information sources are completely filled of with information that is just so slightly, but intentionally, wrong or off.

> Relatedly, low liberals regard the state as a partisan organ, contrasting with traditional liberalism’s vision of a neutral state.

You can literally point out the surge in popularity of Slavoj Zizek as the proximal cause of this with his idea of Ultra-Politics. The promise that someone can step outside of politics. The political in his mind is the non-traversable horizon of society.

This isn't exactly a new concept; it's a radicalization of Althusarian post-politics. It's related to Adorno's critique of society which states that a healthy functioning society is precisely one that can't agree on what it means to be a healthy functioning society. A society without political agonism would cease to be a society. Instead it would be an ideological dictatorship where everyone thought the same thing all the time.

Revisiting Ultra-Politics in this light, Zizek's position is that the avoidance of politics is itself a political gesture, and relates it to Freud's the return of the repressed - or the explanation of why the very spaces which are supposed to be apolitical or politically neutral become the places where there are the most political disagreements. It's embodied in the belief that the ultimate fantasy is the idea of a objective neutral reality that you can begin to see how nothing, in the eyes of the low liberals, can be de-politicized. You would have to create an even more powerful IAS than that of the third wave liberalism that's so thoroughly infused itself in broader society that it has ceased to be viewed as ideological at all - that politics should be depoliticized.

Once you understand how this assemblage operates you can begin to see how groups operate within it and in relation to it, why they make the moves they do, and what would need to change to move out of it and if such a thing is even possible.

Well, Apple have proven several times now that you don't need a bytecode abstraction to allow CPU architecture transitions. They went from PowerPC to Intel to ARM whilst preserving the benefits of native code each time, using relatively simple stuff that stayed out of developers way and didn't require buyin to entirely new ways of coding or APIs. Rosetta 2 is just an ordinary AOT transpiler with a few magic flags in their ARM fork that lets them optionally match Intel semantics for code that needs it, other people should be able to match that.

So bytecode is useful for lots of other reasons when paired with good runtimes, but it doesn't seem to be necessary to let you switch CPU ISAs or vendors.

Meanwhile the costs are super high. WASM doesn't and isn't going to expose the real capabilities of the hardware any time soon, so it'll always lag behind in performance. The web has an unfortunate design goal of killing all the incentives OS and hardware makers have to add new features, because browser makers are these days pretty averse to allowing web pages to have special capabilities on specific underlying platforms, so features only get exposed to the web if every (major) OS and CPU combination supports them. But why add new features if apps will only start to use them if all your competitors also ship the same feature - there's no competitive advantage to be had there, which in turn means there's no point in investing in R&D.

In turn that means that there's actually no point in designing or deploying a new ISA if everything is WASM. Why bother if it can't add any unique capabilities or nothing would use them? RISC-V says licensing is a good enough reason, but not many competitive design houses seem to care: making a high performance CPU is so expensive that ARM licensing costs just aren't a big deal in the grand scheme of things and in practice silicon OEMs seem fine with outsourcing ISA development to them.

Leaning in to native code fixes the incentive problem, and software is constantly being updated these days anyway. If CPU portability was all that mattered it'd be cheaper and quicker to invest in better cross-compilation toolchains, like a standard file format for expressing all the URLs to all the different OS/CPU specific binaries for a program and build servers that could incrementally build and upload binaries for less popular ISAs in the background.

I outline a proposal for an alternative web-like thing that works this way here (whilst also supporting wasm and other bytecodes):

And a large part of today's work force is simply not familiar with fighting for wage increases. They're used to getting meager increases that don't keep up with inflation. Workers have been getting screwed for decades, the slowly boiled frog. It's not worth the fight so they have in effect gotten pay decreases, in aggregate, over 30+ years.
Jokes about fascism aside, you can tell that our social climate is in a very unhealthy and unstable spot when something that was previously a community staple has been relegated to the outskirts and can be attacked with not only impunity from criticism but cheers from the supporters.
