Various places will have different-sized water heaters installed. As a child, I lived in one place that had a measly 20 gallon electric heater. It sucked, badly. Dad showered first, then I got woken up to shower - barely any hot water.
It won't.

TL;DR: you can't RLHF immunity to gaslighting without breaking the model.

I'm calling it here, though I doubt this comment will get cited when someone actually proves this in a formal way: no amount of instruction tuning or RLHF can make LLM immune to having its system instructions overriden, without destroying its ability to complete inputs outside its training dataset.

Sure, you could RLHF it to ignore any known prompt attack, and the final model may even get good at recognizing and rejecting those. Sure, you could introduce some magic token and fine-tune the AI until it becomes asymptotically impossible for it to confuse what tokens are "trusted" and what tokens are "tainted". But the LLM still reasons about / completes all those prompts together.

There is no clear code/data separation here - neither in the LLM architecture, nor in natural language itself (nor, fundamentally, in our physical reality). User and system inputs always blend together to drive the LLM - meaning user input is always in a position to override system data.

If you can't make the LLM ignore its system instructions, or can't get it to follow your own, you can always try and make it change its understanding of the concepts in its system rules. What happens if my input redefines what "being nice" means, in general, never once referring to the bot or its rules? You can RLHF that away, but can you RLHF away every possible way any of the concepts in your system rules could be implicitly redefined during a conversation?

Fictional example, to illustrate what I'm talking about: in one episode of Star Trek: Lower Decks, some of the heroes were stuck on a shuttle with a locked-out autopilot, set to "take them home" (i.e. Earth). They couldn't override it or reset it so it takes them to their desired destination, so instead they redefined what the computer understood as "home" in this context, changing it from "Earth" to another destination - and watched as the autopilot changed course, continuing to obey its system prompt, to "take the ship home".
I like the idea of 'mega-regions', especially now that remote/hybrid work means you may not have to commute every day, but might still need to meet physically fairly regularly. Each mega-region has sufficient mass and density to meet the 'concentration of talent' requirement for interesting stuff to happen, while providing different living densities within it for different lifestyles (urban, suburban, etc). Key is a comprehensive public transport system within each mega-region.

Can't any tenant damage a property more than the deposit, regardless of whether they have a pet or not?
Intel bought the StrongARM line if ARM cpus from DEC (used in some PDAs of the late 90s) and rebranded it XScale. Had some minor successes, but no huge design wins. Sold it to Marvell in 2006 right before the iPhone was released and smartphones exploded the market for ARM cpus.
When the camera fails you don't exactly have many options because you can't really order the official parts.

Why would the camera be of consequence, though? Isn't authentication data stored in the proprietary TPM thing Apple includes in their devices?
Is there a law that states the deposit must be one month? You could adjust the contract so that if a tenant requests pets, they're liable for a larger deposit / cleaning bill when they leave.

I rent and have two cats, they pee in the litter tray so that's not an issue, but they cause all sorts of other damage, mine like sitting on the bannister at the top of the stairs, so there's loads of scratch marks on it because it's too high to jump up to it easily, they're very furry Norwegian forest cats that groom each other a lot, so I wake up frequently to vomited up cat balls on carpets, etcetera.

My deal with the landlord is that I'll just pay for whatever damage is done, even if that's higher than my deposit.
They did! It only took about three or four days.

Germany also has a lot more tenant rights, including the "can't unreasonably refuse animals" that you maligned in another comment.

Still, it is extremely bad to not be able to buy a house. I am much happier as a renter here in Germany than I was in the UK however. Much simpler law and contract, much less exploitation. However, this is mainly because I am white. Here in Germany, racism is far more extreme, and it is often far more difficult to get an apartment if you don't have a white name.
Relocation in unappealing because companies will let you go in a blink of an eye. With the recent tech layoffs, many people who left their lives to relocate for a job were let go even before they started. You experience that once and you’d almost never relocate in your life, especially now that remote work is becoming a commonly available option.
The increase in salary would have to be much higher to justify paying double the mortgage, not to mention the additional stress of actually finding a house in a supply constrained market.

Also, a lot of spouses also work these days, so now you have to find two jobs.

Best bet is to find a place with many jobs available for your industry and settle down, so you don’t have to move for your job.
Not a particularly insightful article, but I suspect mortgages have a big part. If you're locked into a 2.5% mortgage trading that for 7% is a tough sell, given property values feel pretty flat.
Support for SteamOS v1/2, the one on Deck is rebased on Arch, lasted to 2018 which is when Proton entered the picture. If that wasn't good enough (fair enough) they were just PCs so you could install Windows on it if you felt you weren't being well served. Or a Linux distro, where the game experience is better than it ever has been largely thanks to projects sponsored by Valve.

So for the very few people who bought them, I'd imagine they're unlikely to be all that upset.

Ok, so then back at you:

That Ms. Rowling and her publisher won doesn’t mean that style is covered by copyright either. It could just mean they had a more expensive legal team.

One of the key elements of copyright is this doctrine:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Idea%E2%80%93expression_distin...

An adventure novel provides an illustration of the concept. Copyright may subsist in the work as a whole, in the particular story or characters involved, or in any artwork contained in the book, but generally not in the idea or genre of the story.

Also, let’s take a step back. What do you think is a fair outcome, that once John Fogerty sold the rights to one CCR song that he is no longer able to write music? Or that he needed to learn to write and play an entirely new genre?

Does the first music publisher to buy a reggae song now own the rights to every single reggae song produced after?

What are you arguing for?
I agree, and I agree that more people should be able to own their own, but just because you rent it doesn't mean you're one pay check away from missing rent.
Part of the challenge of firehoses of links or hilights being less valuable to others, is that they are the residue of an particular persons thought process and that thought process was clear to them but obviously not us. A description of the list might help, but there is something more. We have these thoughts for a reason and my motivations will be very particular to me and you probably won’t care so much about them. So yes knowledge can be social but it is first hyper personal and then social if you can find people with similar motivations and thoughts. But to most, that residue of thought will just feel like a pile of stuff they don’t connect with. It takes a lot of effort to recast it for a broader audience and that’s more blogging than note taking. Finding your cohort is an altogether different project as well, you need to find an existing nexus of the right people if it exists or become the maintainer of one and attract those people, this is more like being an influencer or party planner. The idea that any note taking platform will be the nexus is unrealistic, so I think we will always have these hyper personal digital gardens and out of them we will harvest things to share with others, sometimes you put out a stand of free carrots at the end of the driveway, sometimes you bring a basket of raspberries to a friend you know who loves them, most likely you take it all to the farmers market, lastly maybe after much planning and work you host a garden party but it won’t be in the actual garden beds but in the adjacent lawn. :-)
Sometimes a good way to get feedback is to listen to who is complaining
Badly, I imagine :)
That would quality as fraud if the representative knew that the remaining coinheritors would block and if they gained something from the delay (some kickback setup from that back fee? The world we live in is crazy but it's not that crazy). The way you describe it reads as if the inheritor representative might have been just as surprised by the delay. Incompetence, and possibly being on the hook for the bank penalty due to that incompetence (or not, that's far beyond my judicial capability) but certainly not fraud.

Perhaps a more experienced buyer would have added some penalty clause to hedge against the idle money issue (banks don't like a delay between money availability and purchase of the collateral, that's a common issue I think), but since the problem is (was, I hope?) that the contract itself did not happen in time that surely wouldn't be easy (some multi-stage monstrosity, ouch). Unless they lied to get some advantage it can't really be fraud. (and what advantage would it be anyways? If the market price rose during the delay the sellers might even suffer a bigger net loss than that bank penalty ... I guess that would be a way it could become fraud, if they then suddenly refused signing, to sell to a higher bidder, abusing the delay for a safe market bet)

I suspect that this entire class of issues is a common pitfall people who routinely deal with real estate are well aware of, one of the risks kept in check by experience and taking the occasional blow.

One of my coworkers is gay. He is an Indian citizen and has been in the US for about two decades, roughly half of his life and basically all of his adult life. He is still waiting for a green card and will likely wait a lot longer.

"Just invest your talents in India" is asking him to leave his friends, his long term partner, his job, his home, and everything he has known for most of his adult life. It is also asking him to move to a place that is oppressive to his sexuality and denies him his deserved human rights. It is inhumane.

For some reason people are very reluctant to view renting out a property as a business venture with attendant risks and no guarantee of profit. Either you can afford to insure yourself against such eventualities, or the cost of the repairs will be paid off in the long term by future tenants - or your business isn’t really profitable except in fair weather.

> Visa is 2.9 percent plus some other minor fee I can’t remember right now.

No, that's the total that the merchant pays. The biggest chunk of that goes to the issuing bank and pays for credit card rewards which you get back as the cardholder in some form.

Credit cards (at least in the US) are a fairly efficient payment system, but as long as there will be card rewards, they effectively create a cash surcharge at all merchants that accept them: If you pay by card, the biggest chunk of these ~3% is kicked back to you, so the merchant usually just bakes that 3% into their prices, but you get the biggest part of it back. But since merchants usually don't have two sets of prices (although there are exceptions), cash payers end up net-paying more, i.e. indirectly pay for your card rewards.

This isn't the case in all countries globally; for example, in the EU, card interchange is capped to about 10% of what merchants pay in the US. As a result, merchant fees are much lower, but there are practically no more rewards.
>But before you do, set a deadline. That’s the one piece of “technology” that’ll really help you ship. It’s a wonderful constraint.

Self-imposed deadlines as a mental hack can work for some people.

For some others, it doesn't work because their brain knows it's an "artificial deadline" created by their own mind. It's like trying to tickle oneself. The self-imposed deadline just comes and goes.

That said, there's no harm in trying it to see if you're one the ones it does work for.

> So on one hand some argues money is not currency

That's not my argument, and also irrelevant to this post.

> say shares aren't money, but they are currency

They're definitely not currency, either.

> They can be sold for money?

That's an asset, not a currency. Those are two very different things.

> It seems like splitting hairs to obfuscate the point that humans will commit fraud and destroy the world in order to optimize to make money.

You were claiming that "companies used to print their own shares = print their own money" in support of your argument "humans will commit fraud and destroy the world in order to optimize to make money". That claim is false, so it doesn't support your argument, and your "point" is not a point because you've provided zero evidence for it.

> isn't changing the fact that many companies have their one and only goal to increase share price

What fact? What number of companies can you point to that factually have their "one and only goal to increase share price"?

I can say for sure that I've never seen a company that doesn't at least have two goals, and your statement is completely irrelevant for privately traded companies.

You seem pretty determined to push your worldview that "companies are evil" without much thought as to what that even means, or producing blatantly false claims like "we as a society have chosen that the goal of Money is actually the most important thing to us" (if you think that, you need to spend more time with real people and less on the internet, because the vast majority of real people do not believe this).

Go read the Gulag Archipelago and tell me how a system without companies or "capitalism" works.
There’s a fundamental disconnect between how hard it is to relocate and how easy it is to lose your job.

The cost of moving is huge: uprooting your family, switching the kids’ school, losing your friends and local interests, re-learning a new community, getting grief from your mortgage lender or insurer, paying early termination fees on rent and services, legal fees and taxes, packing and unpacking your stuff, loading up on new risks…

Whereas your job can end at the whim of a boss or the slightest gust of economic headwind.
But nice of them to give the site four and a half months to think about it.
Usually this is less being outright deceptive (saying you're up when you know you're down), and more wrapping the definition of "down" in legalese so that nothing short of a complete system outage of every aspect of your service for 100% of users counts as "down".

In those cases status pages are more likely to have a lovely spectrum of yellows and oranges to choose from, but a distinct absence of red, but very few companies will say that they're fully green when they know there's issues. Green when you're down is usually more of a symptom of process problems in how outages get reported or resolved (no documentation, manual processes for updating, long communication chains from support teams to engineers).
I agree it's an unfortunate position, but poverty is too strong a word.

Even after paying rent, bills and saving - such a person would likely have tens of thousands of dollars to spend on holidays, video games or sneakers.

Poverty describes people who have to use food banks not people who have $100 brunches at Cedric Grolet.

Caste system is still widespread in India. Just ask anyone if they are married to the person with the same caste or not? and 95% of time they would say yes. Even if your father left India when he was 3, you still belong to a caste. Its not a system enforced by the government but people themselves. Religion & Government have limited power in India, Society is basically what determines everything in India, and it enforces caste. Caste system is associated with hinduism but even Christians, Muslims and Sikhs in India have a caste. Only people I know who are not following caste system are Affluent Muslims, Jains & Tribals, but they have their own systems.
