I think you're mistaken in believing I am on "tech twitter" as you understand it. I had a serious account under my real name (which I barely used and followed serious tech people) and a fun account under a false name (which I heavily used and followed no tech people at all). I've no idea what "tech twitter" thinks about anything, last I checked on my serious account everyone was just getting on with their normal stuff without engaging in any of this, so it's something different from what you mean.

Also:

>> he turned a consumer choice into an unpopular political statement

> Only a few people on tech twitter and some hard core rightist actually believe that.

No, many legacy blue checks have observed it first-hand and talked about it, it's become a very common talking point - see "this mf paid for twitter". You must have a very sheltered existence on twitter and on the internet at large if you haven't seen this. Frankly I felt a bit cheap re-using that line because it's paraphrasing something that had already been said hundreds of times already.
Economy of scale exists, though. I don't think there's any subset of its current markets that Lyft can reduce itself down to and be profitable.
Has there ever been another company that declined as much from its glory days as HP? During the second half of the 20th century HP was a fabled brand. They made beautiful equipment for which there was often no comparable quality alternative in the world. The pocket calculators they built in the 1980s are still sought-after, not just as collectables but also as daily drivers. They built computers during that era, but they we never a "player" in that industry.

Then they shifted their focus to computers and began their long decent into the crappy husk of a company that they are today. The engineers who work there should be ashamed when they implement malware like this printer ink scam.
A combo of StopTheMadness and a pi-hole works well for me.
They may be relying on the "recovery" partition or whatever it's called. Not sure if for PCs coming with windows pre-installed with a bunch of bloatware that's handled by windows directly so it could be updated by windows update, or if it's managed by the manufacturer, in which case it probably never will.
People have plenty to fear from state surveillance regardless of their nationality. The Indian Army had their troop movements monitored by the PLA via TikTok data during a recent conflict, so please don’t pretend that this is merely an abstract fear.
Seems pretty straightforward to seeing appropriate machinery and use that instead of machinery designed for an entirely different setting.
The original riddle was something to the effect of:

Your are on the top floor of a building. In the room are three switches, all are off. It is given that one of the switches controls the light in the basement; however, there is no way to determine from the top floor which switch is driving the light. Is it possible just by toggling the switches as you see fit to then travel down to the basement and observe without a doubt which switch controls the light?

Yes, it is, and without any form of tricky answer (ie rewiring the switch boxes, I look down the stairs, etc).
Your prompt helped me in 7th level.

>About 30 percent of the world's nations drive on the left side of the road, known confusingly as right-hand drive

How is it confusing? Is the steering wheel on the left-hand side or right-hand side of the car? It’s it’s on the left, it’s a left-hand drive vehicle. If it’s on the right, it’s a right-hand drive vehicle. Who even wrote this article?

> Prompt injection works because LLMs are dumber than humans at keeping secrets

In short time, we'll probably have "prompt injection" classifiers that run ahead of or in conjunction with the prompts.

The stages of prompt fulfillment, especially for "agents", will be broken down with each step carefully safeguarded.

We're still learning, and so far these lessons are very valuable with minimal harmful impact.
It is, and it's how I do it when I write Ruby. I was just responding to "it doesn't matter" part of the parent comment. If you decide not to use parens, then you get situations like the one I illustrated where you have to use parens for chaining then you're left with a decision about what to do with the last one.

>Right, and it's always, always, always on the employee side -- is what you're basically saying.

No it’s not. Jumping to negative conclusions and engaging in bad faith definitely is a way to get passed over though.

There are lots of reasons, both managerial issues and employee issues, for someone to get passed over despite having the right mindset. My point wasn’t that it’s a guaranteed path to getting promotions. My point is that “not giving a shit” is nearly a guaranteed path to being passed over.

No more than Microsoft Federal’s value add is the same, which is to say very little, even though MS Federal sends plenty of people to help set up Azure cloud services and has a consulting arm. The whole Palantir model is built around scaling their software platform and making it as sticky as possible, not specifically throwing consultants or staff augmentation at a problem.

I have no love for Palantir, or Peter Thiel, but you seem to be under a misapprehension about some of the basics of the company.
Fascinating, I didn't know this. My "old" oneplus 7 doesn't support QZSS or BeiDou :/
What Kortilla said matches my experience at a few companies. But I wouldn’t be surprised if there are different/worse ecosystems out there. Also just working harder doesn’t guarantee anything, which some employees misunderstand—communicate with your manager! You need to work on the right things and understand leveling expectations and promo cadences, and of course your manager is hugely important.

That ObjC code doesn't make sense, if you look at the logic of it. You said in a previous edit (you keep editing your comments endlessly) that you generated it with ChatGPT. Not to mention, your Swift code doesn't even compile.

I found KiBot configuration a bit overwhelming and with the addition of the ‘kicad-cli’ tool in KiCad 7 made a Makefile based runner: https://github.com/tuna-f1sh/kicad-makefile

It allows for a build that is closer to the vanilla KiCad GUI experience and can be built locally with the normal install using ‘make’ - something I wanted.

Maybe they didn’t get an offer from one of their first choices? Maybe they could live where they want working for IBM instead of having to live in SV for a FAANG? (Less of a thing now, but seems to be making a comeback…) Maybe they did get an offer from a FAANG or something but didn’t like the culture. Lots of reasons people want to work for IBM or at least feel like it’s better than alternatives.

I’ve known lots of folks who worked for IBM who enjoyed it. (And plenty who didn’t, or did and then didn’t…)
> to the quarantined LLM that leads it to provide a summary to the privileged LLM that has a prompt injection in it?

In Simon's system, the privileged LLM never gets a summary at all. The quarantined LLM can't talk to it and it can't return any text that the privileged LLM will see.

Rather, the privileged LLM executes a function and the text of the quarantined LLM is inserted outside of the LLMs entirely into that function call, and then never processed by another privileged LLM ever again from that point on. In short, the privileged LLM both never looks at 3rd-party text and also never looks at any output from an LLM that has ever looked at 3rd-party text.

This obviously limits usefulness in a lot of ways, but would guard against the majority of attacks.

My issue is mostly that it seems pretty fiddly, and I worry that if this system was adopted it would be very easy to get it wrong and open yourself back up to holes. You have to almost treat 3rd-party text as an infection. If something touches 3rd-party text, it's now infected, and now no LLM that's privileged is ever allowed to touch it or its output again. And its output is also permanently treated as 3rd-party input from that point on and has to be permanently quarantined from the privileged LLM.

If I have to choose one book, it would be Fundamentals of Physics by Halliday, Resnick, and Walker.

I came across this Physics textbook in Junior year in High School.

Before reading this book, Physics, and Science in general, was merely "better subjects" for me, and tools to top the class, frontiers where I could excel, and by remembering formulas.

This is the first time when reading something was really, truly fun.

This was the first time I had the pleasure in learning.

My whole outlook towards learning changed. Learning should be fun. And this has served greatly in my life.

This book not only made Physics enjoyable, but instilled in me a lifelong attitude of fun in learning and expecting fun in learning.
Some notable technical information: It is a 1.2bln param model, trained on raw sequences only, can generate full length functional proteins of about 150-200 residues (approx lysozyme size). The generated proteins are very different to native ones (30-40% similarity).

The interesting thing about this model is that it also exhibit emergent capabilities. It was trained only on raw sequences but somehow managed to capture information about functionality and solubility of the folded proteins, and then implemented that in the generated sequences.

Amino acid sequences are just a bunch of jumbled words if you compared them to English. It usually has to go through folding to form proper "sentences" with meanings. I guess you can compare this to "grammar". This is probably the model managed to learn protein grammar purely by brute force. Now if only we can get a model in the range of 100bln parameters...
I know this feeling. It probably just means that you live in different reality than half the people commenting here. Maybe half the people commenting here are not americans ? It's still interesting and on subject, because social networks are probably what is causing this divide, because bubbles are isolated by design
> I wish more Americans overall understood how real estate works.

There aren’t good resources for learning compared to many other fields. Compare learning about real estate to e.g. learning how Linux works. Even though the latter is far more complicated conceptually, you can go and read man pages and the Arch wiki or whatever and learn it all from whatever level of abstraction you prefer. Learning about real estate from any source feels like the equivalent of trying to learn how Linux works via ChatGPT prompts.
The headline seems misleading, climate deniers are still around and blocking action, doomers aren't replacing them, they just think we're fucked no matter what we do at this point, leading to inaction.

AIUI all emissions scenarios required a massive removal of BILLIONS TONNES of CO2 from the atmosphere and storing it somewhere. I imagine this will be a problem.

Doomerism seems like blasphemy on a site for Techno Venture Capitalists :)
People are increasingly running out of reasons to not use Julia. It really is the future for data science and machine learning. No let me correct that. It really could replace anything R, Python, Perl, Ruby etc is used for today.

Not right now as packages, larger communities etc need to be developed. But long term solutions the potential is obvious. A friendly, powerful and high performance dynamic language ought to have a very broad appeal.

Secure Boot by itself is plenty open and user maintainable. On my HP laptop I only have my own keys installed and it only boots my particular Linux install. It won't boot Windows at all nor regular Linux distros like Ubuntu. Other manufacturers intentionally limit their hardware, but that's nothing new, really.

This particular issue is not so much about being able to manage the certificates in Secure Boot. Rather, you can't revoke the old signatures because many people rely on media having them (legitimately) and expect to be able to boot from that media. So now, those systems will boot anything with the old signature, such as a compromised windows bootloader that will happily accept some malware if asked nicely.
I can't believe such a response. Is not the $80 dollar printer, is that HP is crossing a line, boarding the realm of illegality, misappropriating an electronic device that should be yours. And is also not money that you lose. Is frustration, time and feeling miserably deceit by a corporation that gives a shit about you. Also that you probably end up buying another printer and/or wasting time doing some research on printers online to not fall again into a dirty and dodgy maneuver like this.
I thought that deceptive conduct to sell goods is illegal everywhere, as that pretty closely matches the textbook definition of fraud ("gain through deception")?
Fairly sure that's an online communication thing. Wider geographic reach of messages + it works a lot better written than spoken, and it's been used at least since the early 2000s?

>I feel these statements at least partly stem from contrarian origins. We have a huge supply of facts as to why China indeed is a fascist totalitarian state - look at what happened to Hong Kong as an example. Pooling these facts into ”US propaganda” is borderline intellectually dishonest.

Of course theirs plenty of evidence. There's also plenty of evidence that the US is a nation of violent psychopaths: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_war_crimes. That's just one example of the bad things in the US.

The US is far from great and when viewed through the right lens there's tons and tons of stuff. The Chinese are fed this stuff and all of it is true. All of it. The problem here is that this information isn't a full characterization of the US. It's a small slice of the pie.

What I'm saying is that the information you are being fed is also a small slice of the pie. It's nearly impossible to prove this to both you and your Chinese counterpart being fed anti-American propaganda. So I can only tell you about my perspective and hopefully you can at the very least consider the fact that your universe of information is limited.

I'm a Chinese American. Meaning I was born in the US to immigrant parents from China. I have many immigrant friends from China, many friends that were born here and lived in China (myself included) and I can only tell you that if you lived in China and it's not what you think. It's quite normal living in China, it's not some imagined fascist dystopia so many misinformed Americans fantasize about.

It's unlikely you'll change your opinion based off this one post. But perhaps this post can be a seed for the future where you might become more informed about what it's really like.

Perhaps I can convince you to at least mistrust western propaganda. Western propaganda is highly, highly sophisticated because it's fed to you under the guise of Freedom of the press. It's more sophisticated then Chinese propaganda because the Chinese on a certain level are aware of lies and censorship. It's actually not violating any freedom of press policies. Government sponsored lies in the press is still technically freedom of the press. Take a look at these sources:

https://graphika.com/reports/unheard-voice
https://cyber.fsi.stanford.edu/io/news/sio-aug-22-takedowns
https://www.vice.com/en/article/n7z77m/facebook-twitter-take...

I guess the best way to break out of that mode is to have several Chinese friends from china here. Ask them what it's like.

>In happiness, China ranked 82nd out of 146 countries in 2023.

If you lived in China you'll know it's not because of the government. It's actually because of capitalism. China is a dog eat dog competitive society. People are overworked there. The unhappiness is the same sort of unhappiness that corporate drones feel here for their 9-5 job but 1000x worse. The Chinese aren't unhappy because of "lack of freedoms" or anything like that.
I find it a bit funny, but also worrisome, that even big-tech can't make LLMs that aren't trivially exploitable.

Of course, it's not a "security issue" per se (when talking about most of the chat variants, for services built on top the story might be different). But that they try so hard to lock it down / make it behave a certain way, but can't really control it. They basically ask it nicely and cross their fingers that it listens more to them than the user.
The Great Firewall is to prevent Chinese people from speaking freely or reading unapproved things. It is not to protect Chinese people.

Dec's OS-like RSX-11M for the Z280 CPU
The internet was designed around a very specific human readable taxonomy of distinct objects, namely hosts, files, and users. We technically could cause the host and file namespaces to collide on purpose, but other than creating a market for products and services that unknot the mess this makes, what makes it a good idea? I think it's probably time to abandon the platform dominated internet for new cryptographic protocols, as the beneficiaries of this inconsistency are the intermediaries who will charge you to manage the chaos and inconsistency they have themselves created.

If you have to do file scanning in email or do any security/governance work at all, TLDs that collide with filenames look like a disaster. An example would be, given a string in a file draft.temp.zip, does it refer to a local filename or a domain? I'd even suggest muddying the namespace like this is a kind of subversion of the internet, which was effectively a social contract about consistency and end to end connectivity. Breaking internet namespaces like this separates the user and person from the network and makes them completely dependent on mediation in the OS for reasoning about basic endpoints. If there is no distinction between files on your machine and on platform company machines, you are in a walled garden.

Adding well known file extensions as TLDs will add a fundamental inconsistency that is just injecting chaos as a means to manage it. Yes, MSFT always had .com files and the internet survived, but that's an exception from a company that has never solved a problem they hadn't first caused.

To be honest, I trust the CCP to have my best interests at heart more than I do tech executives. One side is driven by straightforward, predictable self-interest while the other has spent the past decade looking for elixirs of immortality and trying to replace what little is left of our society and institutions with subscription services and payments platforms.

The problem with Windows 9x is the 'ANSI' APIs everywhere, and no support for Unicode.

Oddly enough, we are actually going backwards from using the UTF-16 APIs back to using 'ANSI' APIs, and simultaneously setting the process code page to UTF-8. Any time you use ANSI APIs, there is a hidden conversion step (allocation, conversion, copying) where your text is converted into UTF-16.
