I wouldn't call Cloudflare rocksolid, assuming you mean their R2 offering. It goes down pretty regularly.
Am an ML engineer, was around long before LLMs. Definitely am skeptical, and I think I know where one dimension that we're missing performance is, a number of people do (in regards to steerability/controllability without losing performance), it's just something that's quite hard to do tbh. Quite hard to do indeedy.

Those who figure out how to do that well will have quite a legacy under their belts, and money if they're a profit-making company and handle it well.

It's not about whether or not it can be done, it's not hard to lay out the math and prove that pretty trivially if you know where to look. Just actually doing it is the hard part in a way where the inductive bias translates appropriately to the solution at hand.
Somehow other companies with that growth don't get priced at 30 times sales.

Liability insurance is really valuable. You’ll lose your home to a semi-clever person who finds a reason to sue you. I used to sell insurance. My district manager told a story about how the insurance company had to pay because a homeowner’s dog barked at a guy off the property, the guy tripped & got injured, sued the homeowner for a nontrivial amount, and won. You can self insure if you want to, but don’t be surprised when shit happens and you wonder why your having to liquidate your assets.

Regardless, your overall impression is correct: Twilio is no longer a hacker/hobbyist/enthusiast option as you cannot (by the letter of the law, at least) send SMS without registering your business entity:

https://twitter.com/rsyncnet/status/1593384850073214976?lang...

This is very troublesome to me because I have built my own personal telco out of twilio functions and twiml bins, etc., and am heavily reliant on all manner of SMS workflows.

As of this writing (2023-05-27) everything - even SMS delivery to T-Mobile numbers - continues to "just work" but it sounds like I will just wake up one morning to have it all broken ...
I think the big question is... what was this guy doing 2 years ago? Was his stuff real work, or was he finding a less sophisticated way of phoning it in?

It seems improbable that someone who did all the hard work and knew how to do it would suddenly stop doing that. Such work ethics tend to be habit-forming, or so I had thought.
Socialists will once again get to explain how the capitalist welfare state was an unsustainable scam paid for by neocolonialism. Demonized socialist projects will come to be seen in a more authentic, positive light, and the fight for worker and human emancipation from capitalism will resume.
I do not like the QR menus and I had a plan for a QR menu app as well. Most times you get a QR menu it sucks. It is usually a link to some large pdf or to a sketchy app. You definitely can do a QR menu service that does not suck, but after a quick look I don't see any around. Even if you have a QR menu in your restaurant you should definitely have some paper fallback. There's a lot value to be added: translations, photos, better allergens information, call the waiter CTAs and more, but I never found anything that adds value compared to a good old paper menu.

Ask HN: GPT prompt crafters, what are your most effective/favorite prompts?
What GPT prompts do you find most effective? There are so many resources with example prompts that it is hard to test them all.

I am primarily interested in programming prompts to make ChatGPT/Bard generate (as close as possible to) hallucinations-free Python and JavaScript (Google Apps Script) code. But, please, do share anything that you yourself find helpful!

[I am using "prompt crafters" and not "prompt engineers" not to dilute further what it means to be an engineer. It is a matter of my personal taste, and I mean no disrespect to engineers who work on prompts.]
From the article:

> Each zombie-creating fungus species evolved to match a specific insect, so unique strains have little effect on an organism except for the one they evolved to infect. For example, a cordyceps that evolved to infect an ant in Thailand can’t infect a different ant species in Florida.

It is very plausible that the fungus has been around long enough to have evolved with the insects.

The main reason why a cross-species jump is so unlikely for a fungus which induces specific neurological effects is that the mechanism is not intelligent but tuned to the host species’ neurology. The fungus releases specific chemicals at specific times. In the correct host species this results in the desired behavior.

Trying to use the same chemical machinery to control a species which doesn’t share the neurology almost exactly is like trying to run a Windows executable on a Mac.

Importantly, you cannot evolve the machinery bit-by-bit if your life cycle is dependent upon it. Jump to a species with a different neurology would require such a large number of changes simultaneously that it’s just not plausible when anything less would result in a failure to reproduce.

If you are unhappy in your relationship you shouldn't "stay together for the kid". It's a common misbelief that that is good for kids, when in actuality they absolutely pick up on what's going on and it's not healthy for the kid to be in a not-happy family. I speak from experience, I was a kid whose parents didn't separate when they absolutely should have. I'd encourage you to discuss this with a therapist if you haven't already.

Yup, at least if they got greedy. My guess is they’d just do it infrequently and if anyone started asking questions stop.

Hard to not get greedy though at some point.

In hindsight/next time, I’d just call the police right then and there the moment I heard them say someone else picked it up. Listening to them after that or letting them give me the run around just wore me out and let me be convinced that I wasn’t somehow having a felony committed against me right there.

Also, not letting the personal issue escalate to where it was that bad would have let me do that much, much easier. But that is much easier said than done.

Lessons learned!
Transformer-based LLMs define a theory of time: each token representation has added to it a vector full of sincos(wt) for a set of frequencies w, after which order is ignored. (Each sincos defines 2 elements of the vector: sin(wt) and cos(wt). Use e^iwt if you prefer to think in complex numbers.)

So in "Your heart is stronger than your head", heart and head are 5 words apart, or ~8 tokens. So one gets sincos(w(t+0)), the other gets sincos(w(t+8)). That's the only thing that distinguishes it from the converse sentence, "Your head is stronger than your heart."

Chomsky had a much more symbolic theory of grammar. The fact that Chat GPT can answer questions about the above sentences (try them!) with order only defined by relative timestamps is remarkable.

Interestingly, if you throw in some extra words like "Bob's head is stronger (and more cromulent) than his heart" it fails to answer questions about which is stronger. Possibly because the extra tokens bring the sincos terms it had learned to use for "A is Xer than B" statements wrapped all the way around the circle.

It'd be interesting to devise similar tests for people, to see what extraneous parentheticals can confuse them.

But with sufficient baseload nuclear, one could free up gas capacity because of the lower demand for gas peaker plants. Similarly, if electricity were as cheap as gas per kWh, many industrial applications could actually switch to electrical heating.

In general the answer seemed to be something like: yeah, mostly, but not always, and the winners don’t always have a perfectly unified voice, so this can be mitigated to a great extent by careful study. Which seems like a fine answer although not super enlightening.

The bit that stuck with me was a little aside near the beginning.

> Whether we like it or not, we view the past from a modern standpoint, privileging (consciously or otherwise) the interests and ideals of the world we know. As a result, we tend to treat developments towards modernity as natural – and disparage the apparent dead ends that stood in its path.

I think modern values are pretty good. But we sit on a branch in a big tree which history has explored stochastically. The idea that, going back, some figures could be seen as good or bad not because of the fundamentals of their deeds, or because of the propaganda (good or ill) recorded about them, but because the just mismatch with modern values is interesting…

But I dunno, I can think of any, I must just be too throughly soaked through with modern values.
Because usually GET /posts gets you a list of posts, POST /posts create a new one.
If there were a few studies, and it's overwhelmingly successful, why do you think it's difficult to find the results? SF spends something like 90k per homeless person, conducting an experiment with 3k per person sounds like a drop in a bucket. I bet, showing great results on a group of 100 people, would get more investments into this experiment.
This is the kind of assertive falseness I associate with ChatGPT!
the current desire to rewrite all history as per politically correct ideology is remarkable, but it too will pass.
There is no defence against an attacker sitting on your wire. But headers and data 99.9% aren't logged or can be seen in a shared link or screenshot.

TL;DR: no, but you should be vary of how things are logged and/or shared.

> Happily surprised you guys managed to get it down to only a 7% failure rate though!

Thanks! It, uhh, was quite a bit higher before we did some of that work though, heh. Since we can take a query and attempt to run it, we get good errors for anything that's ill-specified, and we can track it. Ideally we'd address everything with better prompt engineering, but it's certainly quicker to just fix stuff up after the fact when we know how to.
Well, I said, if you store small data. For large data, sure, prohibitively expensive!

I don’t think many other solutions are equally fast and secure.

AWS operation is pretty transparent, documented, audited and used by governments. You can lock it down heavily with IAM and a CMK KMS key, and audit the repository. The physical security is also pretty tight, and there is location redundancy.

Even hetzner doesn’t have proper redundancy in place. Other major providers in France burned down (apparently with with data loss), or had security problems with hard drives stolen in transport.

I don’t work for AWS, don’t have much data in there, just saying. GCP and Azure are probably also good.

Electricity can be stored, mostly in pumped hydro storage, but also in e.g. battery storage, pressurized air or heated rock. But storage is scarce, expensive and doesn't look like it is going to be built anytime soon (for the usual reasons, NIMBY, environmentalism, YAGNI (correct or imagined), "energy abstinence is more virtuous", "we can manage by regulating demand", etc.)
Yes, I do notice a significant speed up with HTTP/3 compared to 1.1.

But I have spent some years of my life playing eSports shooters competitively and I can tell the difference between something happening in 150ms or 250ms and monitors below 120Hz make me uncomfortable. Some people, on the other hand, claim that cloud gaming has no perceivable input lag. So it depends on the person.

With that said, 1.1->3 should be perceivable for most people, I think. Head-of-line blocking is slowing things down significantly. HTTP/3 latency feels like browsing with UDP, which it is.

Of course, browsers do caching and pre-emptive loading, so the user experience in many cases will be the same. But when loading a website for the first time, or reading an article with many images for the first time, I think the difference in page load/draw times can be easily observed.

EDIT: On further investigation, it seems like 1.1->3 should be perceivable for most people if they are on poor quality connections, and if the website/web app is heavy. Looks like I fall into that bracket with some of my devices as I live in an ancient house with stone walls, the natural enemy of WiFi.
Most records don't survive. Over any considerable timespan, the ones that do have been copied and rewritten dozens or hundreds of times (with the exception of a few archeological gems). Every generation is curating the past based on what they think is important.

On the energy markets in Europe, at least the one Germany is connected to, the prices per kWh are calculated basedbon generation costs. Meaning investments and fox costs are not considered. CO2 certificates are so. With those being way too cheap the three cheapest electricity sources are: Wind, PV and coal. If memory serves well you have then hydro and nuclear, with has gas power plants usually being priced out more often than not.

That structure doesn't really make sense from a climate perspective. It does show so, that nuclear is far, far from being cheap.
Fair question! If I had to guess: the USA + Europe + Canada + Australia + a few other countries will form one trading block, and BRICS + about 20 other countries will form a separate trading block. The different trading blocks will use different reserve currencies. The BRICS+ trading block would use a basket of currencies and our trading block would use the US dollar, or a basket of currencies with the dollar being the largest percentage in the basket.

I love to travel and visit other countries and meet people. My hope is that a tourist will continue to be able to easily visit any country, even when the world bifurcates into two trading blocks.

This has been my experience as well as an American. We did have grammar in school, but there was not a large emphasis placed on anything past, "this is an adverb/adjective/noun/verb" as a part of the lesson plan.

Ultimately, grammar is most important for speaking and writing. Do you really need to know "this is a secondary subject clause" to speak and write with eloquence? I don't think so. This is anecdotal, but I learned to be a better writer by reading more, not by studying grammatical theory.

Additionally, this could also be colored by my experience growing up in America. We have language classes in school, but literally no one took them seriously. After 3 years of Spanish, I'm not sure if I was even past A1.

As an adult and moving to a foreign country, I'm learning a second language (Dutch) with much more attention to detail but I'm having the most issues with grammar. Not that I don't understand the concepts, but more-so that I do not know any grammatical vocabulary. Verb/noun/pronoun/adjective/adverb/preposition... yeah those are all of the words I know off the top of my head. So when the teacher said, "this is the infinitive form of the verb", I was completely lost. I'm trying to study the grammatical concepts, but because they aren't everyday words, I tend to forget them quickly.

Anyway, thanks for reading my rambling! :)
For those who might not be aware, CLEAR is a way to capture traveler dollars to jump the TSA line/queue, with CLEAR kicking back revenue to the airports they have agreements with.
