This is a huge problem, because it's another example of turning a wide swath of humanity into criminals for doing relatively normal things that should be allowed.

Of course they won't be able to enforce this most of the time. But if you end up in their sights for any reason, they may then notice you using a VPN and use that information to legally blackmail you.

Usually this goes with making the punishment very harsh: A stolen MP3 on your hard drive? 20-to-life unless you take a plea bargain down to 2 years and turn in 3 friends as well. Same deal now with VPNs.

I know what you mean by Primitive Technology Youtuber, but I would encourage you to not dismiss the underlying concepts out of hand. Building a chair from green wood with hand tools may not work for Ikea, but it is much more energy-efficient than power tools [1].

There's also something incredibly empowering about working with tools you understand, both in software and woodworking.

Your first paragraph is nonsense. The problem can be boiled down to the cost benefit structure of roads. There are no congestion charges so the cost is zero or almost zero plus the time spent driving. Cities build roads where people want to go so the idea that someone would build a useless road should be thrown out. This means the benefits of a constructed road are on average positive. Positive benefits minus zero costs mean infinite demand or as others affectionately call it "induced demand". The only cost that remains that stops people is the fact that they still have to spend time driving so from the drivers perspective the cost benefit structure does not change no matter how much road capacity you build. If their time budget for driving is thirty minutes then the road will fill up until the trip takes longer than thirty minutes. This filling up effect can take the form of people switching from other modes of transportation like buses or bicycles to cars or from smaller cars to bigger cars that take up more space.

Indeed.

Given how trademarks work, the name is a very real possibility.

OTOH, given how relatively expensive GPT-4 queries are, it may be genuinely straining hardware in the backend to the tune of far more money than he can afford, in which case I assume it's probably something but I don't want to guess what as that something might be dismissed by a judge as OpenAI's problem rather than this person's.

About 10 years ago I went to a lecture in Santa Fe by Reggio where he talked about the movie, screened it, and answered questions after. 10 years before that I saw Glass perform the music in Albuquerque with his orchestra while the movie played on a big screen above. At that point I had watched the movie perhaps 100 times. To say I am a huge fan is an understatement.

The overwhelming impression I got from Reggio and Glass was that they didn't so much create the experience as give birth to it. Of course they both intended to create something great, but I think the movie's success as a cultural artifact exceeded their wildest expectations.

There are very few movies I care to watch more than once. There are even fewer that will still be watched and studied 10,000 years from now (assuming we survive that long). Koyaanisqatsi is one of them.

Another option are dip pens. They do not offer the same writing time as a regular fountain pen, but they are easier to clean and so let you experiment with exotic inks (such as those with particulate in them).

I'm particularly fond of glass dip pens, as they offer a steady flow and you can get 2-3 lines of text out before you need to re-dip. They're also absurdly easy to clean, as they don't have any "pinch" points which can hide ink from you. On the flip side, they basically have one "width", which is about a 0.8mm line for mine. It's also glass, with everything that entails.
I write my articles in Markdown and would want to switch to a terminal based Linux (Pi Zero, low power, e-paper, distraction free) to do this instead of a GUI.

JuiceFS is mostly POSIX compatible, but there are important caveats such as no extended ACL, copying files changes their mtime (impacts backup tools), it offers "close-to-open" consistency (dangerous for log appenders), etc.

Choosing an appropriate solution in this space still depends on what you need to do with the storage, and a few other options are MooseFS (https://github.com/moosefs/moosefs) SeaweedFS (https://github.com/seaweedfs/seaweedfs) Curve (https://github.com/opencurve/curve) GeeseFS (https://github.com/yandex-cloud/geesefs)
Sorry, I did not complete my thought. Namely that another way to think about these LLMs is something like... Invasion of the Body Snatchers. Or any one of a number of other films. Pod People! Masquerading as hoominz.
The most important sentences of the article:

"Our attack utilizes the AMD-SP’s vulnerability to voltage fault injection attacks [14] to extract a chip-unique secret from the targeted CPU."

"The attack requires access to the motherboard of the target system (4.1), particularly its SPI bus and voltage regulators."

In other words, it is required to open the laptop and connect custom (but cheap) hardware to the motherboard to disrupt its normal operation.

Quite a while (decade+?) ago, I heard from an anti-spam drone at Google that they had thought they'd figured out the key to spam mitigation: make it prohibitively expensive ... only to discover that political spammers did not care about losing money as a side effect of propagating their talking points.
I believe that too... but you and I are very solidly in the minority.

Yeah, I'll add a bit of an apology here: I interpreted your comments as being in the same spirit as other arguments I've gotten into on HN that were basically saying that because humans can be phished, we don't need to worry about the security of replacing human agents with LLMs -- we can just do it. But I know enough of your comment history on this site and I'm familiar enough with your general takes that I should have been more curious about whether that was actually what you in particular meant. So definitely, apologies for making that assumption.

----

My only objection to talking about whether "prompt injection" is solvable is that (and maybe you're right and this is a problem with the phrase itself) I've found it tends to provoke a lot of unproductive debates on HN, because immediately people start arguing about context separation, or escaping input, or piping results into another LLM, and I got kind of tired of debating why that stuff could or couldn't work.

And I found out that I can kind of sidestep that entire debate by just saying, "okay, if it's easy to solve, let me know when it's solved, but the companies launching products today don't have mitigations in place so let's talk about that."

If I'm wrong and it does get solved, great. But it says something about the companies building products that they're not waiting until it gets solved, even if they believe that it can be solved. In some ways, it's even worse because if they really believe this is easy to solve and they're not putting in these "easy" mitigations or waiting for the "fix" to drop, then... I mean, that's not a flattering position for them to be in.

I agree with what you're saying, but I really want to get across to people that there are practical failings today that need to be taken seriously regardless of whether or not they think that "prompt injection" is just SQL-injection #2.

I couldn't tell the photo was fake from a first or second glance, only after I had started reading the posts and taking a 3rd and 4th look at it I could sort of notice some uncanniness.

But, even then, had no-one told me that the image was fake I would have certainly continue to at least have some doubts about the image's fake-ness.
I would agree if the proposal was to rebuild the system to make it more equitable and more resilient to fraud. I don't see how the US would remain competitive without a proper way in for skilled immigrants.
> I see a bunch of comments here in HN claiming that H-1B should pretty much be abolished, and/or visa holders should be returning to their countries of origin and replaced by American workers.

I would like to state: I disagree. I don't want to be like Europe and ban things for temporary political points. I don't want to be protectionist and allow us to grow complacent off our former glory.

I want to innovate and have the best competition. Its how we can continue to be the best economy in the world.

Well... if you pay for this stuff, you're already having a credit card involved (for example. Maybe you're buying gift cards, and age gating can happen there!). If you're not.... maybe the decimation of free porn is not a bad thing for the universe.

I do believe in privacy rights, but... free porn just doesn't feel like a must-exist thing in the sense we are all talking about.

I do think that there's a universe where self-governance sort of resolves these problems. Many industries have done this! In a universe where basically you needed a credit card to access this stuff ~always, this law would likely not exist.

I think Bruckman has the right of it. Wikipedia already has to deal with a lot of automated and subtle vandalism, I don't think the relative cheapness of contextually sensible text from chatGPT represents the same kind of game changer that it may for other sites.
That's a problem of attitude, not genetics. A person born in Korea can become American, British, Swedish, Singaporean, Brazilian, etc. There's no fundamental reason why it wouldn't work the other way if Koreans wanted their society to be open to newcomers. With shrinking population they may want to have that national conversation eventually.

Anyway, when you bring in young single people, the primary cultural diffusion is through their eventual children. They will be Korean in a way that the immigrant parent might never personally feel.
Very true. Most people wouldn't use an app they downloaded to their device to help them manage health conditions related to cancer, heart disease, or infectious disease. They'd almost certainly want private confidential consultations with a real doctor (although quite a few doctors have served as little more than salespeople for the pharmaceutical opiate manufactures).

A big problem with Safaris is they dry out quickly. There are many great pen varieties nowadays, none of which have this common fountain-pen shortcoming.

Yes but it was set in ~1990 and never adjusted for inflation. It is still about $60,000 a year which was a lot of money 30 years ago. The program was intended to enable companies to hire people with unique skills that are unavailable anywhere else. A salary that is below bottom quartile of entry level CS grads does not reflect that reality.
This exists, it's called IRMA. [0]

The problem is, every data provider has to get on board first. For instance, the city you live in can verify if you're over eighteen. If their IT can handle setting the bit 'over eighteen' in the IRMA app, you can securely and verifiably show this bit of information, and only this piece of information, to the party asking to verify this information. They have to support IRMA too though.

But even then, if I'm under age and just borrow your phone...

The argument was whether they could scale, and they don't seem to be able to beyond a certain point (and even then only in fields of dubious value like banking). Whether or not scaling is a good thing or not is an entirely different thing.

One problem with making the package larger is the relativistic effects of longer wires.

In the Bay Area I’m also easily able to order alcohol on all the big delivery services, but they all seem pretty consistent about scanning your ID for age verification before they drop it off.

FUSE adapters in general are not for a product/production use in my experience. They’re great for one off convenience use, or basic admin scripts.

Sounds like you want to filter the conversation view so that you can separate the various things shown there (PR comments, code comments, reviews)? Seems like a useful feature.
Again, wrong -- I'm addressing a different crowd here. As a black person, I'm mostly with you on e.g. blacklist.

I'm thinking about "people in the middle who might pick this up." It's not that it's offensive and hurtful and protecting feelings and whatnot and that's the primary problem.

It's that "possibly offensive" here equates to "incredibly unprofessional."

GIMP is professional quality software and a LOT OF PEOPLE WONT BELIEVE THAT owing to the name. A decent analogy is if it were called Poopy Edit or something like that.
I've had a few Safaris and they're easily among my favorites, but personally it was common to get misaligned nibs with them, or extreme variation between two different nibs of the same grind (so I don't think the problem of "getting a bad one" is as unlikely as portrayed). The alignment problem occurs with all brands to one degree or another IME, and it's worth learning to make adjustments using a loupe or macro camera for anyone who's interested in the hobby.

There's also a widespread problem of counterfeit Lamy Safaris out there, which usually come in subtly different packaging and/or have subtly different markings on the pen body. These are widely considered to be inferior, and fairly common if ordering somewhere like Amazon.
"American citizens" are usually just people who, by no fault and no merit of their own, happen to have been born in the United States. Frankly, this shouldn't give them the right to decide who else gets to come to the US and on what terms.

But putting that aside, when Americans issue a visa, they are forming a contract with another person that they are obligated to honor. When someone uproots their life to come to the US by following the rules created by Americans, it would be unconscionable to exploit them and then fail to honor the visa.
Have these regulations or laws ever been particularly effective? They may stop legitimate companies but AFAICT never really stopped the "anonymous" scammers. This makes it more like a form of establishing trust like I was talking about originally. It gives us a way to trust established companies, but not a way to trust everyone.
I suggest you reread the OP and ask questions, because you seem to have overlooked some of the ideas explained therein, such as transfinite ordinals.
My youngest child knew the other two could catch-up to him when being chased, so he "threw" stuff in their path and closed doors to slow the others down and stay ahead. Houdini famously started a rumor that he had a natural ability to dislocate his shoulder to discourage competitors.
AI corporate moves are obviously littering the path for healthy competition and trying to convince others that the resources required at too great for any other company.
People here have claimed that the best way forward would be to develop SETI-like AI shared global compute, but other people are claiming that's impossible. Developing a shared global network of compute may be the only "open" way ahead for many challenges, and it certainly makes for interesting times.
I sort of wonder if it wouldn't be best to auction off the new visas to companies rather than assign them by lottery. Then they go to the companies their most valuable to and the government gets some revenue.
Mine, and I like it to stay that way. A TPM can be a valuable tool for protecting my data, making it difficult if not impossible for anyone to decrypt my drives. TPM+PIN is hard to beat.

I’m a software engineer with over a decade of experience across a variety of domains and technologies. I can design and implement nearly every aspect of modern software systems, including web, mobile, and sdk clients, cloud-native and distributed systems, CI/CD orchestrators, big data processing pipelines, public and private APIs, automated testing suites, and developer tools.

For the stakeholder/owner/operator:

But you don’t really care about that, I imagine. You want to run a more efficient business– to uncover new opportunities, and to leverage your unique competitive advantages. That’s where I specialize, software as a means to an end. I work closely with stakeholders to deeply understand your business and identify areas where technology can provide powerful tools for efficiency and growth.

For the engineer looking for help:

You want to hire a solid engineer, with a proven track record, who can help you solve difficult problems. Ideally this engineer can design solutions that meet the demands of the business today, while considering the ever-evolving needs of the system tomorrow. It would be great if this person also seeks to understand the business, not just the software, so they can become an asset in stakeholder discussions and help define the future of the company. Oh, and hopefully you can find someone who is pleasant to work with– constructive, instructive, open to feedback, and fun.
Well, we jail parents who abuse their children. And if viewing pornography is so dangerous to children that it justifies restricting speech for everyone, surely that is such a compelling interest that we should punish parents who allow it to happen.

Which is all to say, no. None of this is workable because none of this is about protecting children from life-altering harm.

This law is intended to create a liabikity trap to attack companies a religious state deems immoral.

What advantages do fountain pens still have over modern gel ballpoints? I like the whole experience of fountain pens, how nice they look and the 'old-school' aspect, but sadly I don't feel they are practical any more.
Probably the best thing to happen to cinematography in the last 20 years. Maybe now I'm not going to get a regurgitated version of a classic, a lesson in modern political correctness, a diversified historical remake or another fast and furious chapter, perhaps this time on the moon... You know what, let me have that last one, that doesn't sound that bad.
I think GitHub has generally been a really good thing for devs. It has added some good opinions on how we ought to work. Specifically I would say:

* Pull requests as a major dev artifact. Probably the most reliable tracker of a set of decisions at a point in time

* The connection of the issue tracker to the code base and not as a separate tool (ie Jira).

* Expectation of a basic README with the project with the basic documentation.

We take these things for granted now, but pre GitHub this was NOT the norm.

I’m not sure I frankly want a competitor here. It’s one extra annoying thing for me to think about. Opinions are good for streamlining my life as a dev.
