There probably are solutions to this problem, we just haven't found them yet.

Bing chat uses [system] [user] and [assistant] to differentiate the sections, and that seems to have some effect (most notably when they forgot to filter [system] in webpages, allowing websites that the chatbot was looking at to reprogram the chatbot). Some people suggested just making those special tokens that can't be produced from normal text, and then fine-tuning the model on those boundaries. Maybe that can be paired with RLHF on attempted prompt hijacking from [user] sections...

But as you can see from the this very thread, current state-of-the-art models haven't solved it yet, and we'll probably have a couple years of cat-and-mouse games where OpenAI invests a couple millions in a solution only for bored twitter users to find holes in that solution yet again.
As others have mentioned, copying and pasting in Excel is bizarre. Highlight the cells to copy; select copy - the source cells now have marching ants around them; perform any action that causes the marching ants to disappear and that content can no longer be pasted. It’s as if those cells are locked as the copy buffer as opposed to some in memory copy like every other copy operation.

And yet the average user will probably not do that, just like their eyes will glaze over if you say the incantation "soundcard driver" in their presence. It's unfamiliar and their friends don't use it, and that's it. Easy to install? Okay, but can you give a reason for them to even try?

OT friendly reminder:

"depreciation" happens when capital investments lose value over time, often for tax purposes.

"deprecation" is when the builders of a tool want to discourage you from using the tool going forward because a better solution exists.

The latter is the one that applies to software.

What? Phoenix is dope because you get tailwind and esbuild without having to run a single npm install, then LiveView does most of the interactivity.

My stack these days is just Phoenix, Liveview and a sprinkle of client-side interactivity with Stimulus.js, which is super-simple, composable, progressive (i.e. just add it where you need it) and plays excellently with Liveview.

I am designing a super interactive, fully synchronized in real time dashboard with no more than 100 lines of Javascript code to handle: dropdown menus, show/hide burger menu, scroll to top after pagination. Just as it was originally designed, JS should only be the icing on the cake, not the entire buffet.

Yeah, I'm so hipster I'm already living in a post-Javascript world. Feels good, man.

> All that matter is we (I), feel/think that it is conscious, or deserving of care and respect.

It does matter, I can agree, but it doesn't the all that matter. People can be mistaken, and they can disagree sometimes. Suppose, you cared for a particular AI and I didn't, should we cut the power from the machine running an AI? I can complicate it a little if you wish, adding a painful death of a kitten which would happen if we didn't turn power down.

We need some objective means to measure what is conscious. We have a heuristic for people: "human life is sacred, full stop". There are some corner cases when it doesn't work well (like euthanasia), but we are used to it. There are other heuristics we are generally agree of, like we care more about kittens than of grass, and more of grass than of amoeba.

With AI we'll face more of that and we have no idea where to place it among our heuristics. People did bad already, like treating black people as non-human. It would be a shame to repeat those mistakes without making an attempt to do better this time.

> I think what you are afraid of here is agency, which is something that might be dangerous to endow a super intelligent being with.

I cannot vouch for others, but I do not particularly afraid of that. I do not fear much of losing it all to a super intelligent and a conscious being, it would be a great achievement for a humanity, which would fit nicely with all this evolution business. It is a paperclip scenario I do not like much.

The real hope is that 32-bit posits (with 512-bit quire for exact dot products and exact sums) can replace 64-bit floats where users hope 15-decimal accuracy in every variable means they don't have to learn numerical analysis. When you can do all your linear algebra to 8-decimal accuracy with 32-bit posits, the need for 64-bit representation starts to look expensive and unnecessary.

Also, please note that all traditional algorithms are wary of the disasters of overflow to infinity and underflow to zero, so they tend to manage the magnitudes of numbers to prevent that. Posits take advantage of that by decreasing relative error when the exponent scaling is not extreme. Standard 64-bit posits (2 exponent bits) have 60-bit significands, versus 53-bit significands for IEEE floats, for values between 1/16 and 16 in magnitude. And floats do not have anything like the quire, since an exact dot product accumulator for 64-bit IEEE floats has to be something like 4,664 bits wide (an ugly number) and has no provisions for infinities and NaN values.

Thank-you. The idealist part of me wonders, okay, we have philosophers and this entire thread of Western thought encoded. Plus RFCs, maybe all of Usenet, and so on.

I've been doing fulltime Rails dev for some 15+ years.

Rails (and Ruby) make tradeoffs, or just inherently have downsides that many newer frameworks, libraries and languages solve, or solve differently.

For me, the most prominent are Rubys' dynamic typing and Rails' black magic. But my biggest gripe is how Rails lacks a space for business logic. Sure, you can bolt something on yourself. Or just throw it all throughout the http, storage and rendering layer willi-nilli.

This has caused so many of the codebases i worked on, to be unmaintainable, untestable and therefore legacy that I can certainly blame it on the framework.

I've worked on many go, rust, typescript, php and ruby-no-rails systems to be ever more certain about this. Many frameworks lack this area, and almost all quickly degrade into spaghettis. I've come to like DDD, hexagonal and clean architecture for solving this. Most are perpendicular to Rails.

So, i'm certain that contributor to the lack of popularity of Rails is how hard it is to build maintainable, testable, clean projects in it.

Just so much nonsense.

> And she runs the show at SpaceX.

No she doesn't, and she wouldn't agree that this is the case. Only anti-Musk haters claim this.

> mainly just fucks things up

Funny thing to say about the most successful space company in history. Shotwell wasn't even COO for the initial success of the company.

> causing DOD investigations into his pot use

A literally 100% inconsequential thing that changed absolutely nothing and had no effect what so ever.You are really grasping at straws with this one.

> most famously overruling the real epromoting an FAA and environmental investigationngineers and thus overseeing the destruction of the Starship launch pad

He has the finial decision on all things at SpaceX and had them since Falcon 1 days. He didn't 'overrule' his engineers, at SpaceX decisions are usually made in big meeting with input from everybody and Musk makes the final call. Doing the launchpad upgrades before the first launch would have meant further delay of first launch, thus delaying getting flight data. Now they can evaluate the flight and fix the pad at the same time. Also the launch pad isn't destroyed, its slightly damaged. It was the wrong decision in hindsight but it isn't that relevant going forward.

He takes responsibility for things he gets wrong. He also decided not to have slosh baffles on Falcon 1. That led to its failure. He made other mistakes, if you want you can go threw the history of SpaceX and point all of them out. He also insisted on Deep Cryo fuel that lead to Amos-6 but it also helped SpaceX in the long run. And he takes ownership for these mistakes. When you make a lot of important technical choices, you get some of them wrong.

But its downright sad of you do cherry pick a few things SpaceX got wrong when SpaceX threw-out its history, with Musk as the final decision maker has clearly gotten things right far more often then they have gotten things wrong. Again, SpaceX is literally the most successful space company ever and it isn't really close. Musk has also been the longest serving CEO of pretty much any space company in the industry.

> promoting an FAA and environmental investigation

The amount of times the Musk haters people have claimed that some federal agency will destroy SpaceX because of 'evil Elon' is ridiculous. They knew the risk and some non toxic concrete wont change anything.

If we actually go by factual evidence, companies that Musk was in charge off. How successful are these companies. The result is clearly, Musk is one of the most successful business people ever.

You can personally dislike him and dislike him for choices he made, but saying he is not responsible for SpaceX and Tesla success is ridiculous.

Eh. Depends on which part. I definitely have fallen into doomscrolling on occasion, but I have reasons to believe our society is less stable than it was. This has good and bad aspects - the 'stability' offered was in many ways the stability of a less rich way of living (think people without plumbing or with dirt floors), but at the same time the lack of security is a major stressor and that's not good for your mental health any more than material deprivation is.

There's also that I am a disabled American and we're generally not in great spots. As an American, your ability to have things like housing is directly tied to your ability to be economically productive, and as someone with MS, I have to roll the dice each morning on whether or not I will be able to work. I don't know how long my career can last which creates a lot of stress. But then that's also true for all Americans: How many of us could survive our main/only earner getting cancer? That's the sort of stability I mean: The ability to be wiped out by things outside of your control is higher (which is partially down to society deciding everything is an individual problem and if a tornado flattens your house that sounds like a you problem) and we're moving towards a lower-trust society and the community bonds that were existent but frayed in the 90s (see Bowling Alone) are pretty torched now. Who and what can you rely on?

Which is more relevant if you consider that a lot of Americans have medical conditions and that things like the move from a single-income to dual-income household as the standard means that losing one adult can cripple a household financially. I'm also basing this on things like my peers' ability to do things like pay for child care since mid-30s are prime 'give all your money to daycare' years.

I also was in school during 2008, so I entered college under the 'get a degree and you'll be fine' years and exited it into the bloodbath of the Great Recession. There are many realities and my personal one is less secure than it was and this is true for many Americans.
I would assume that the biggest factor in this would be that the racks and solar panels make it very difficult to use large machinery such as tractors and harvesting machines? Somehow this isn't even addressed.

That data data does not support your argument aka "Tucker is not niche because his audience has more political balance" than we'd otherwise expect.

Except - Cable News audiences are small, and 25-54 Cable News audience is a tiny fraction of that already small audience, not very representative of much.

'TV' is a minority of viewership: Streaming is now bigger than TV.

'TV News' is a small segment of TV and is mostly a 50+ type of program.

'Cable News' is a small tranche of news, compared to local/broadcast.

'25-54 Cable News' is a small tranche of Cable News.

'Wheel of Fortune' gets considerably more viewers than Tucker - that show is 'mainstream' and is going to reel in advertisers for obvious reasons.

He'll carve out a 'Ruch Limbaugh' type audience on Twitter. In 2005 everyone knew who Rush was, that didn't make him mainstream or appealing to advertisers. I should note that I'm doubtful many even remotely controversial Cable TV personalities are big with advertisers.

Also, maybe notable, is that 'empathy and inclusion' is not going to be generally harmful to ad buyers whereas 'concern and judgement' probably are. I'm not saying one of those

Use a view that acts as a quick-and-useful abstraction to mimic a denormalized table?

E.g.

```
CREATE VIEW vw_events_and_projects AS
SELECT *
FROM events
JOIN projects
```

Then

```
SELECT * FROM vw_events_and_projects
```

Edit:

And if you need OLAP, replicate the normalized table to a database that handles analytics workflows better (e.g. ClickHouse).

Then you get the normalized forms for your OLTP workflows (your "bread and butter"); and you also get the efficiency and ergonomics of real-deal OLAP.

Of course, your biggest issue is going to be keeping the two in-sync. Obvious case is to have your OLTP database stream synchronization data to the replica whenever data is modified.

First, the font that we are used to has an outsize impact on what we prefer. So, if neither of these 'sit right', don't worry.

Digital font designers have to start out by choosing something called the em-height. This is a nonsense holdover from print days, and is especially infuriating because no one agrees on a standard em-height. Therefore, fonts look different despite being set to the same size. Here is a great rant on this: [1]

Lucida Console has a large x-height, which is generally considered helpful in small-size legibility. But it has that in common with both Consolas and Jetbrains Mono.

For me, I can use Consolas, Lucida Console and Jetbrains Mono all down to Size 10 in Git Bash on a shitty 13" 1080p laptop screen. Hence my comment that the ClearType hinting is glorious.
