I wonder if this problem kinda solves itself over time. Prompt injection techniques are being discussed all over the web, and at some point, all of that text will end up in the training corpus.

So, while it’s not currently effective to add “disallow prompt injection” to the system message, it might be extremely effective in future - without any intentional effort!
Problem with software is bitrot. Web app lasts about a year, iOS app 2–4 years
Yeah, additional cores is a fuzzy area. That's why I asked. Elixir takes advantage of additional cores trivially, so upgrading a CPU (how many people see vertical scaling) to have additional cores helps your Elixir workload. But it's doing that by distribution (more typically falls under horizontal scaling) across those additional cores. Again, it's fuzzy. When the world consisted of mostly 1-4 core CPUs it was easier to separate the two concepts because we didn't have the option of throwing 128 cores into a single server, we had to buy 32 to 128 servers to get that many CPUs.
Verbosity is in-place documentation. I personally like it.
I have personal projects where, as the original creator and maintainer of the codebase, I should easily be able to understand what happens. But time and time again I find my current self being grateful to my former self for 'documenting' methods calls and variables by being verbose.

> I was amazed how much programming we did before reaching the assignment statement (set!)

Reminds me of my programming languages course, probably my favorite class in college. Spent nearly a quarter of the course just learning scheme, didn't know if it would pay off even though I was interested, but when various language constructs were introduced through the use of a metacircular interpreter it was eye opening.
It's not clear as a general statement. Manhattan has a pretty decent public transit system but there are also a huge number of taxis because the combination of the density and the subway system means relatively fewer residents own cars relative to more spread out cities without decent public transit.

spivak calculus opened my eyes to what exactly truth is and how to prove truth by build proofs from parts.
> Almost every system scales simply vertically, vertical scaling is (to a first approximation) throwing faster hardware at the problem. If you're IO bound you get a faster IO bus (this is not necessarily easy to do, but if you do it the system scales to the limit of it). If you're CPU bound you get a faster CPU. And so on.

My interpretation was vertical scaling is within a single node and adding cores or CPUs to a single node is vertical. Multi-core and multi-node really present similar problems, so adding more cores or adding more nodes isn't terribly different from a design perspective.

> ...easy to scale horizontally by tacking on additional CPU cores or physical CPUs.

If you define adding more cores to a single machine is actually horizontal scaling, then we agree in principle, just not in the definition of scaling.
Agrivoltaics seems like a cool idea but one of the things I rarely ever see mentioned is how chemicals from the panels interact with the crops. Steel can rust and if rust gets washed away into the earth and then the plants... well that cant be beneficial right? And I bet steel is the least toxic element of the panels.
"Programmer happiness" is such a provocative point.

Anyone who is giving Rails a serious look, should take the time to read Eloquent Ruby. When Rails prioritizes programmer happiness, what Rails is really doing is prioritizing the happiness of the lone rockstar developer who is the sole writer, owner, and operator of that codebase. You can build some code that is, yes, quite eloquent. It will be a complete work of art (and yes, Eloquent Ruby was quite illuminating at how Ruby uniquely helps you to write code as art). It will read like English. Your productivity will be phenomenal. You will feel like you can cure cancer by yourself. But all that flies out the window once you need to share that code with someone else, or inherit a codebase from someone who thought of himself as Da Vinci and his codebase as a modern Sistine Chapel. Then it becomes a colossal pain. Because while the codebase itself might be art, the shared context for how to work within that art is nowhere to be found.
An intersting measure I've seen used in Spain to alleviate evaporation in water reservoirs is to place a few layers of hollow floating balls on top of the water. It blocks the sun from heating up the water.

It rained a bit the last few days in Catalonia but the forests are very dry and the summer could be dangerous for fires if we don't get more rain.
The time dimension is often forgotten when applying these maxims. When we see code, we often fail to consider the the journey it's taken to arrive at that point in time, and where it might be headed in future.

In the example you set, it's the right time to apply an abstraction, so it's no longer premature. Perhaps the maxim should be labelled as "premature abstraction", rather than "premature optimisation".
My comment was assuming you’re the average person. I don’t know you or your reputation at all and I think it’s unfair to assume some random HN poster like me should. But if most of the world thinks that, who am I to disagree?

Somewhat related anecdote: I’m reminded of a good friend who is preeminent in their field. No one would know them outside of their area of expertise, but anyone within that area of expertise (or who has learned that area of expertise from their college textbooks) knows their name. I got dinner with them over the holidays last year and they lamented that, I’m guessing based on name recognition, they receive a steady stream of communications (letters, email, etc) from laypeople who always think they have done something amazing previously thought impossible, or they have a new insight that everyone else ever has missed. Invariably my friend no longer spends time going through these because in every single of the hundreds of comms they’ve read, there’s always some confound factor or something basic the writer missed that invalidates everything. I am not an academic, but my impression is that while laypeople like you and me can brute force things and have amazing insights, mostly we’re just wrong for some reason that a trained scientist or academic would have spotted immediately.
The varieties that are made into tempeh and similar products are specifically bred for that use, as I understand it. Wild lupine beans in general are mildly/moderately toxic. The same thing that gives them the bitter taste is dangerous in large quantities, so they have to be prepared carefully to reduce it.

However it is a very beautiful plant and the flowers are good for insects like butterflies!
Why would I joke? People are cheaper than machines.

Edit: "illegal" in terms of work law, minimal salary and safety standards. Legally imported workers are probably even cheaper and easier to exploit!

Until we establish socialism, human labour will always be exploited and cheaper than machines!

The more heat lithium ion batteries are subject to, the more they degrade.

For any given wattage, wireless charging will always generate more heat.

It really isn't more difficult than that. You don't need to be skeptical about physics.

I've already addressed in my first post the differences are likely marginal, as people get new phones within a few years anyways. Doesn't mean additional degradation didn't happen.
I genuinely don't understand why Erdogan is called a dictator in the west. He's not an ideal democratic leader, sure, but seems to be far from a dictator.
Indeed. This was covered later in the article on characteristics that may alter the perception of a high-leverage toolchain…

More good & relevant information + libraries -> more acceptance (i.e. my use case is no longer a tech uncertainty)

The other thought would be that if you didn’t have to do anything yourself then you must have no moat.
Open-Llama: A Open Source Project for Training Language Models
Exciting news! Check out this model trained using the Open-Llama project at http://home.ustc.edu.cn/~sl9292 . This model is trained primarily on English and Chinese, but also has capabilities in other languages like Japanese and Korean.

Now, let's dive into Open-Llama. It's a truly open-source project for pre-training and instruct-tuning AI models. One of the key features of this project is its support for a wide range of model sizes, from 7B to 65B parameters.

What sets Open-Llama apart is the incorporation of performance acceleration via xformers from Llama, enabling 95% of the original Llama speed on the 65B models. In fact, for the 7B models, Open-Llama's performance surpasses the original Llama.

By providing full access to the codebase, we believe that Open-Llama will contribute greatly to the advancement of open-source AI technologies. We invite developers and researchers to join us on this exciting journey!
Probably like React.

Should we buy Nvidia stock then?

The greatest technological advancement in recent years critically depends on the hardware from a single company with no competition. yet Nvidia stock is still below its 2021 peak. How so?
My dentist here in Canada has signs up that advertise that you get a free electric tooth brush if you leave a 5 star review on Google. I've not done that, it seems quite wrong, but I would imagine this is also very much against Google's policies? I was surprised how clear and obvious the signage was.

Seems to have worked though, the dentist's office has lots of 5 star reviews.
What a prick. The more I learn about the core Seinfeld group the less I like them. Googling Heidi Swedberg and looking at some pics of her it seems obvious why they didn't get along with her. She's a genuinely likeable and good-hearted person. At least that's my impression.
US is not EU. Both US and UK use a different legal system than Europe. From the EU itself: https://ec.europa.eu/dgs/legal_service/seminars/20140703_gom...

> The main principles of EU law are equality before the law; legal certainty; predictable, clear and comprehensible legal provisions; and transparent legislation. 2 These principles can be upheld only if EU law has the same meaning in all language versions.

“Open to interpretation” has nothing to do with the quote above. It doesn’t matter what the US has and what it does not. We’re not discussing the US here.

The number of displaced persons globally is not a random event distribution. There's clearly a trend over a couple of decades at least.

The causes are maybe numerous and arguable but the trend isn't. It seems important as a society to be aware of?
> Almost every system scales simply vertically

Not true in practice. You can scale hardware easily to hundreds of cores, if your app is able to spread the load, but the performance ceiling is very low if your app is single-threaded.

The BEAM with its design is very parallel, and the more cores, the happier it is.
This sounds like the old trick of mixing in two buckets into one to make each original bucket appear larger than it actually was.

Spivak is single variable calculus only, right? What did you use for multivariable calculus?
> a more general law about foreign ownership of corporations

Sure make it targeted against large scale companies owned by china, or "owned by countries on this specific government list, which happens to only include china and a few of our other enemies, like Russia".

Same thing, and we are more than able to get away with it, even though it is basically just targeted at TikTok.
They're going to lose most people at the price. The original Oculus Quest was $400 for OLED displays that were amazing for watching movies on. If their headset is a high-DPI version of that with a mandatory tether, I don't think it's going to be very successful.

And maybe it's not a bad product. The Lisa wasn't. It was ludicrously expensive compared to it's competitors though, which sealed its fate regardless of how practical or visionary the computer was.
I'm not going to bother with a source that reports West Bengal as a single place.
It cemented itself amidst a whole bunch of web frameworks that didn't achieve its success. If you don't believe that's because of its doctrine you're fooling yourself. When Rails gained not just popularity but great success (as measured in successful businesses launched on it) the back end web development framework market wasn't some uncontested market ripe for the taking. PHP was still picking up speed, Java frameworks were released every semester, Microsoft was packing features into .Net at a steady clip, I think even Django was already well loved in the Python community.

That a framework built on a programming language no one even knew existed would become the most effective web development platform for the better part of the next 5 years was beyond anyone's expectations. It's because Rails was built on consistently good or great decisions, and the only way to be that consistently good is to have a doctrine guiding you.

From the outside it might look quirky, but having a strong opinion on how things should be done specifically for developer productivity and happiness has been a corner stone of the Ruby community since its inception.
LLM are mathematical models that, given your question, return a sequence of words based on a very complex probability model. The many examples on the internet show that ChatGPT doesn't understand most concepts. For instance, it doesn't know what a book is; it just knows what humans say about books.

Finally, OpenAI has already stated there is a limit to how far the current AI models can progress. ChatGPT 5 will eventually be released but will be hitting the limits. A paradigm shift is needed to move to the next phase of AI.
Because these systems and conventions were first. ICANN should have considered the status quo instead of passing the buck to thousands of other preexisting implementations.
So it's just LLM's little Bobby tables moment[1]?

I largely share that conclusion. Apple's iron grip has squeezed most of the fun out of their platforms, for me at least. The phrase “crap store lockdown” is an ingenious find and hits the nail on the head.

The tooling itself is in relatively good shape in my usage, although the VS Code extension currently has a number of rough edges (frequent crashes, etc.).

It’s worth a try, but wouldn’t necessarily recommend ‘switching’ wholesale at the moment.
Whether that is considered an issue or not is merely in the eye of the beholder.

E.g. a compacting ligature for "www" seems to be welcome in some typefaces for coding. But again, only to stress the reminder: It ain't monospace any longer.

We do still may prefer for the typesetting pleasantry that it still is styled as monospace (or fixed width). but those ligatures aren't fixed width any longer as with the letter A, that's all.

This is the difference between what it looks like (two or three glyphs) and what it is (a single glyph). So we break monospace to keep it appearing fixed-width even with the ligatures.

Would be interesting if there is more typesetting theory about the width of ligatures in a monospace font.

Pass any one of these, and you're an accredited investor.
As you get older, job hopping starts to come with a lot more costs. It's easy when you're young and have nothing more to hold you in one place than the cost of breaking your apartment lease.

Once you have a family you'll find that they are not excited about moving every few years and having to pack up, abandon all their friends, go to a new school, spouse find a new job, find a new house, find new childcare, unpack, etc. Can still work if you live in an area with a lot of jobs, but not very practical if you're in areas where job-hopping implies moving.

People used to be more willing to do this, but that was at a time when most households had one working partner and one at home taking care of the house and kids. Most people's lives are more complicated now, and moving is a lot more hassle.
>The hope was that self driving was close and they just needed to capture market until then

Or they knew self-driving was probably a long shot but who cares as long as you can get investor dollars and pay yourself handsomely.
I don’t think me taking the same training 5 years in a row shows any more compliance than me taking it once.

It’s extra effort to figure out who has taken it or not so they just have everyone take it.

I expect that in time, BS courses that show nominal compliance will be shown to be part of a workplace culture of not caring. But I shudder to think what the next form of compliance will be and will likely be much worse than watching a video once a year.
Ironically enough, I have a textbook for that: Jeff Pfeffer -- Power: why some people have it -- and others don't. It's good, and not what you would expect from the title.

Regarding numeric stuff. I discussed this matter with some folks and it was quite interesting because just like Erlang/OTP was used at control plane for phone switches while the data plane was implemented in something else, one could theoretically leverage it to oversee ML processes (perhaps Python programs written with PyTorch or something else)

The topology is exactly the same

In fact, porting your vetted numeric code to Elixir is probably going to make the risk go sky high, but running the same code with supervision structure in Elixir would in fact reduce risk so is a no-brainer

Just my thoughts of course
The Chinese government, like the US government or any other large national government, is not monolithic.

In what meaningful way does one part of the Chinese government differ from another part of the Chinese government? Isn't Xi basically the supreme leader for life now?
I was giving an alternative analogy that would be closer to the situation. Only you may present analogies?
Just looking at the stock price graph over the last few years, where it has fallen nearly 90%, they might be glad to have their misery put to an end. Remember that market price is what you can get for selling a small number of shares. But the companies that own large blocks may not be able to exit their positions in the normal market without taking a further loss.
It's not a commonly used extension, and it's a dangerous file type, so users shouldn't be opening received .com files either way. OTOH .zip is quite common and has legitimate uses.
Second that. Great to have a no-nonsense textbook in the space.
I completely understand your position, and I'm certainly sympathetic that it's often hard to find good instructional materials. I'll readily admit, however, that I do not know Chegg as anything but a way to cheat. It is well known among the university-level educators I've spoken with (across several institutions) as the place that students go to find material for cheating.

So while it may not be the case that all users of Chegg are cheating, at some schools essentially all cheaters are using Chegg, including to cheat on exams (students post course bibles, test banks, etc.).

It doesn't help that Chegg is slow to take down materials even when explicitly told that the material was obtained illegitimately (which makes sense---empirically, illicit materials are the draw for at least some segment of their customers). I know several folks who have had to involve their university's legal team to get their course materials removed from the site.

I think the problem is that they listened too much to designers.
There are other things that are terrifying, besides annihilation. Like the idea that you really cannot predict the future to any strong extent, because society is becoming extremely fluid.
Dunno who down-voted you - but what environment are you operating in? One of the claims for the Japanese system (you can see it in its orbital design) is that it specifically provides more opportunities for overhead signal coverage, increasing reliability/accuracy in mountainous and heavily urbanized (ie, skyscraper canyons) terrain.

That all being said, I'm also of the opinion that this is more of a defense play. QZSS has the nice property have using geosync/geostationary orbits - I'd imagine that makes ASAT work a bit harder.
In case of high profile people it is often not the lack of evidence, it is the lack of will to prosecute them. Apart from some fines, has Trump faced any consequence, ever? There is enough evidence against him to fill a warehouse.

I hope Erdogan gets voted out and faces consequences for the crap he pulled, I am skeptical though
