There is an interesting scene in the 1974 film "Darkstar". The crew of an intergalactic geoengineering vessel discover that one of their sentient, computer controlled smartbmbs (vast nuke) has recieved an erroneous message to detonate. The ship computer is able to convince the bomb that is malfunctioning, and it returns to its bay. But a second error leaves the bomb convinced it should explode, leaving crew members to the task of talking a sentient nuclear bomb out of self destructing.

"Prompt Injection Classifiers" is starting to look like the halting problem from a certain angle.

The author mentions that is will likely be far, far more difficult to create a classifier that correctly validates user input than to create the models because the space of possible inputs is extremely large, among other reasons. Someone has to somehow validate all human conversation, small talk and what is essentially sophistry against a naive AI agent.

I suspect its gonna take manual analysis to reveal the kind of prompt injection that could lead to exposing user information like the author is addressing. I don't think that AI will be able to sanitize input for AI without huge amounts of manual testing. I find it unlikely that input validation is going to work very well if at all on this kind of user input.

I kinda doubt this only because it would be really dumb on TikTok's part. If you want to inflate engagement you don't need bots because you're the platform (see: Facebook lawsuit inflating video views). It would be cheaper, easier to implement, harder for outsiders to detect, and do things that bots can't do like engage with real user accounts.

Just read the second paragraph. Currently expanding merge resolution assistance to deal with the general merge conflict case, as well as implementing revert and cherry-pick assistance. Unsure if that is what you were wondering? You probably don't want to do that with 100 GB if most of your commits are new data, rather than changes, yet I wonder whether all incoming new files are then queued into the same pipelines and the reason why they are separate files is not to have to deal with one giant cumulative file for which the older parts would not be deduped in Git LFS, which is a great reason, or whether those files are anyway different file types in terms of contents and intended use, another great reason, or something else altogether. Are you processing data by including anything in a given folder in a given commit?
A cognitive repair mechanism for RNA. That's novel. Intracellular functions are defined by gene expression, I don't think meditation or yoga is going to do it although I suppose suppression of stress hormones might influence cell function.

Put it this way: it's more likely cognitive than knitting and toothpicks.

If you get electricity from the sun (or the wind, which is essentially sun power), then you are heating the earth no more than it would be heated by the sunlight anyway. You're just intercepting the sunlight power and using it to do something useful, instead of letting it heat up the ground, or letting the wind heat up the air through friction. Similarly with hydroelectric power.

That doesn't apply to fossil fuels or nuclear power, though.

But really, the biggest factor by far is how easy it is for long-wave radiation to escape the earth. One thing that isn't intuitive is that every particle of heat radiation that escapes the earth is likely to have "tried" lots of times before, but been reflected back by greenhouse gases (or has bounced around in the atmosphere a lot, being absorbed and re-emitted by CO2 or methane or H20). Basically, only a tiny fraction of the heat radiated from earth actually makes it to space instead of being reflected back. So changing that balance is really what causes the climate to warm, not generating more heat on earth.
Doesn’t that beg the question? Why hasn’t a platform capitalised on the perpetual future in tradfi markets.

Perpetual futures make sense for crypto because it has no physical presence and arguably no real uses beyond speculation. For commodities, for most of which finance and more specifically futures conrracts are really a secondary tool to smoothen the real world use cases, expiry and delivery etc. is a feature and not a bug.
I would go as far as to say that it is now largely an archaic idiom to write «for i in 1:length(arr) ... end», and there is no reason to write such a code to process a collection of elements (an array, a list etc) in its entirety. Yet, people keep on writing it and then spend countless man-hours chasing subtle bugs that blow out later in production.

Most modern languages have a «foreach» operator or its functional equivalent as a collection item generator. «foreach elem in my_collection {}» also has a clearly defined semantics: «process everything». The code is cleaner, concise and a bit shorter and reduces the cognitive overload. And since many languages now support lambdas, the code can quickly and error free be converted into a staged data processing pipeline without the use of temporary variables that serve no purpose, e.g. «foreach elem in my_collection.filter (_ -> _.my_selection_criteria ("42"); ) { do_something (elem); }». Whether the collection is indexed from 0 or from 1 becomes irrelevant.
Well, seeing the run-on sentence, I'm not surprised.
Assuming this is a serious suggestion and not a joke that I have missed, there are so many cloud LLMs that this kind of search is not feasible. And local LLMs that you can run on your own hardware makes detection completely impossible. It's better to acknowledge that people will use LLMs, and judge the papers based on their content and not their writer.

A huge part of the problem is driven by Chinese hospitals. The PRC decided that they wanted China to catch up to the west in science, so made a role that to get promoted as a doctor you have to get some papers published in international journals. That applies to all doctors. But they're, you know, busy doctoring and don't have time out energy to do that. At the same time they'd like to get promoted. So they buy papers.

> How do we get rid of it? Outlaw the practice of trying to influence people by marketing?

Perhaps the first step towards getting rid of it is realizing that it is not "we" who legislate things. That is, not a collective including yourself which has your best interest in mind to a significant extent. "We" have to face the reality in which "they" set up this system - legislatively and commercially.

And I don't mean some evil cabal; you (or me) sometimes participate in the activity of "them". It's just that "we" need to stop identifying "their" actions as what "we" decided to do.
Oral exams are terrifying but preparing for one will be an incredible learning experience and give you a ton of confidence later.

Re CAP, the reason I think that consistency is the problem: It creates high value targets for corruption. Somebody or something has to arbitrate against whatever alternative would threaten consistency. That's a position of power, and too often its one that's easier to retain by abusing that power than by taking your role as arbiter seriously.

The power that comes from being an emergent authority on a topic--where the system arrives at consensus not because its design requires it, but because the thing we're agreeing on really has that much merit--that's a different kind of power. You can't squat on it and abuse it, people will just stop trusting you. The only thing to do with that power is to use it to continue striving towards something worthwhile (the difference being that people are now trying to help you). If this was our model for group coordination, I think we'd end up with leaders of a different temperment.

That's what we should all want for power. It should be hard to get and easy to lose.
How is this an issue, just have in class tests and exams, writing, multiple choices etc. It would end up giving lower weights to slower and more thoughtful writers.
Workers, yes, but mainly consumers. A million dollar fine, if you sell 500,000,000 cartridges (just a guess, but in 2012 I searched and saw they sold 315 million worldwide) means they would have to charge .2 cents per cartridge to pay for the fine. ''

I hardly think that issuing any fine would make them care. Why would the CEO give one little tiny shit about a million dollar fine, or a ten million dollar fine for that matter. They just pass it on to the consumer. And that is only passing on the cost of the fine only to the ink division. They could easily pass on the costs to all departments.

Fines are silly and useless. I guess if they were to have a $500 million fine, that would get the company's attention, but I don't see that ever happening, honestly.

But I think if they put the C-suite and board of directors into jail for 8 years, that would have a major effect on all boards and executives.

And right now, corporations are claiming supply chains and inflation for raising their prices, yet they have the largest profits ever. This can only mean that they are raising their prices but their costs are staying the same or rising very little. All of them should be put in prison - robbing the poor and middle class to put that wealth in the hands of the rich. More siphoning money from the poor and middle class. Put them in prison, I say. Make some example. This is not about price controls, but against holding the US population hostage. Is there collusion? Because that is against the law. That is not controlling prices. Collusion is collusion.

I understand, and I empathize.

I'm not going to tell you that happy thoughts and a motivational poster will fix you. I will say that once you get past the stage you're in and have the ability to make those big life changes, this part will happen less often and you'll find it easier to break through. When you're generally healthy, it's easier to recover when you're sick. Applies just the same to mental illness as it does to an infection.

Unfortunately, you're in the hardest part. Or at least it feels that way in the moment. I don't have any good advice other than to seek help and do whatever gets you to the next day. Try your best to make small improvements when you can. It is okay to not make progress every day, but you also have to not let that be an excuse. You really have to push yourself. It might be the hardest thing you'll ever do, but you aren't the first to have done it.

Sorry all I have is the same pithy nonsense you get on Facebook. At the core, it's good advice, but you have to know the limits. There are some battles you can't fight. Sometimes you are in a truly impossible situation. No internet comment can help you with that, but you can find help if you can bring yourself to ask for it.

Good luck

The Axial Age: With the birth of rational thinking, what happened to imagination
“Ageism is real in our space. Older people are not slow, out of touch, or overly grumpy (to counter some common cliches)”

Ageism is real. Also as people age their mental faculties decline. Plenty of “old” people (read: not actually that old, sometimes in their 40s) are in fact slow and out of touch. It’s very much a thing if you actually know what gen Z life is up to (i’m not them)

“Young people please wise up”

Like this. This is very out of touch and grumpy and is going to fall flat on most people under 40

Your post is actually a great example of why old people are struggling more and more to hang these days (granted I don’t blame them, times are just changing so fast)

Because perpetual future doesn't make sense for a lot of things people trade futures for: corn, soybean, crude oil. They have physical presence and in some cases an expiry date.

There are futures for other financial instruments or indexes where it might make more sense, but there the use of futures is more about hedging than owning the underlying, since it's not as complicated as owning your own crypto and keeping it safe.

> People are increasingly running out of reasons to not use Julia

I'm sorry, but I can't really let you say that.

I like Julia, it has many nice features, but it still IMHO exhibits a lot of reasons not to use it, all of which I stumbled upon while using it to develop non-trivial pieces of software in bioinformatics.

- parallelism is very confusing, very easy to break, and not very efficient when it works;

- cold-boot time is prohibitive;

- the ecosystem is brittle, and very much underdocumented;

- the dispatch mechanism is both a blessing and a curse;

- the stdlib should include some way of encoding errors, otherwise everyone cook their own stuff in their corner (should I raise an exception? Return -1, or maybe null? Or a Union?);

- not being able to redefine types in REPL is a PITA for REPL-driven development;

- debugging cross-packages bugs with multi-dispatch in time-consuming;

- the stdlib doc website is *excruciatingly* slow;

- memory consumption is hard to control;

- iterators are weird (i.e. eager and hardly composable), and either pipe should be a part of the language or they should be chainable, map(f, filter(g, sort(h, [...]map(t, xs)))) leads to unreadable & uneditable mess;

- performances do not follow what was promised (*C-like order of magnitude*), unless maybe you're (a) a Julia god or (b) only using numeric computations.

Now none of these flaws are intrinsic, and I very much hope that all these edges will be polished in the coming times. But as a ‶grunt on the field″, it is exasperating to see the core Julia community just telling you that you're holding it wrong and that all is best in the best of worlds.

Most of the environmentalists I hang out with are on board with most of those ideas, myself included. (And also carbon taxation, which incentivizes a bunch of them) Geo-engineering is a tough one, and I think should be viewed as a last resort, once we're already well on our way to decarbonizing, because otherwise it's the equivalent of trying to stop a speeding car by pressing the brakes without taking your foot off the gas. Something like releasing particulates may cool the earth, but is really hard to do reliably and accurately, and if you ever stop, you're in for a large amount of very sudden warming. There's also a moral hazard effect. It's not fixing the problems, it's trying to treat the symptoms.

That said, I wouldn't necessarily be opposed to it, I just want to make sure we're at least also attacking the root causes as hard as we can as well.

Anyone who got confused, has shortcomings in understanding the topic was about a car and not a road or region. I have never heard of any one being unclear what a left hand drive or right hand drive vehicle was. Vehicles come in all shapes and forms, left, right, center, dual ... and may be driven wherever in the road, though the region's laws and police would certainly stipulate it's safer to be one side or another.

" I know I fixate on problems and “perfect” solutions at the detriment of my project’s velocity"

I have the same, which is why my current game is still not released.

Perfectionism made me reject all existing engines and write my own (I do use a physics libary, box2d, but actually am thinking about writing my own soon). I am happy with the result now, but I really had to learn to cut corners and abolish perfectionism again.

And now that WebGPU has come out(I programm on the web), I have to restrain myself to not overhaul everything again, because the GPU would unlock so much more power, making awesome new things possible in the simulation beneath..

So I am just doing one simple wgsl module to speed up one important part of the simulation, giving hopefully great performance improvements. And then do it all differently and right with the next game..

"Maybe if/when I get more skilled."

And the alternative would be tonstart now, making a very simple game, or using an existing engine.

It depends what you want to do. If you are really into complex systems, then yes - making everything from scratch, UI, Game logic, Rendering - then it all really gets complicated soon and if you didn't start right, you will never finish.

But a simple game, like a flappy birds clone or something alike, is not too complicated and will tell you, if you are really into it.

Just give it a try in a language you are comfortable with.

And of course there is no shame in using the right frameworks, libaries and engines, if you mainly want to get stuff done and play the result (which is very rewarding). Or rather, if you really want to ship a game, that runs stable and bugfree also on other peoples computers, then you will have to use existing work, or you won't get far, or will be buisy with it for a looong time, if you want to do anything not trivial.

You have to be aware, that many people here are not from USA, and their/our first thought is, that facebook and many others do that too. So for many of us, a foreign entity already has access to our conversations, content, and all the same data now china has from tiktok. For americans it might be different, since until now, it was only their three-letter agencies checking up on them (which technically is even worse, since chinese have a lot less access to those people if they start causing trouble than the local US agencies), and now it's someone else too.. but for "the rest of the world", it's just another country doing the same as has been done before by americans.

If you're bothered by social networks having access to a lot of very personal data, you're late to the game... if you're bothered because it's a different country, then welcome to the club.
