You only need a phrase of twelve words from a 2048 word dictionary to have 128 bits of entropy. Twelve words is up to "Thy kingdom" in the Lord's Prayer, so certainly people are able to memorize twelve word phrases or even 24 word phrases without too much trouble.

And English is a lot more than 2048 words - so you could probably use a shorter phrase and still be fine.
That's true....but that was already true.

Unlikely. You can see that the model returns to normal behavior after it exhausts the context window that causes this.

Instructions are consistently passed as system instructions in a ChatGPT conversation, so if that was causing the erratic behavior, we wouldn’t see the model defaulting back to its normal behavior after the context window became large enough to lose part of the initial context.

Instagram deliberately nuked their own APIs.

IDK exactly why, I think it had to do with the 2016 U.S. election.
Well if that is the metric, then reasoning has long been solved:

GNU Prolog 1.5.0 (64 bits)
Compiled Jul 8 2021, 09:35:47 with gcc
Copyright (C) 1999-2022 Daniel Diaz

| ?- [user].
compiling user for byte code...
blub << forp.
forp << tworby.
Forp << tworby :- Forp << forp.

user compiled, 3 lines read - 401 bytes written, 6194 ms

yes
| ?- findall(X, X << tworby, X).

X = [forp,blub]

The problem is that inference (and theorem proving) have two ways to do them. Either you memorize the reduction rules, or you deal with the combinatorial explosion. The former is Prolog and the latter is SAT/SMT solvers. People seem to expect that neural networks predict what the result would be if inference had been done - without actually doing the inference. It's possible to exploit local features, but not to skip it entirely in general. Note that inference can use a lot of memory/scratch space also. At that point, why not just use an external tool? I'd seem much smarter if I could query Prolog directly from my brain. Hell I'd sell my left arm to be able to do that.

Also, note that those statements are not hygienic, and that it assumes a certain logical interpretation of the sentences that isn't universal. We can also ask annoying questions like: is 'all' intensional or extensional? If I invented a new thing called swerb, and swerb is a forp now. Is it retroactively a tworby because the definition of being a forp means it is a tworby, or is it just that at the point in time of the original assertion all forps were tworbys (so the swerb wouldn't be)? There are no good ways to resolve this without back and forth and contextual guessing, or using formal languages.

Since there is no One True Logic, the common kernel of reasoning might as well be computation itself.
No, you can easily reproduce this behavior yourself (I did)

Paychecks, Not Portfolios: Why Income Is the Key to Financial Success
For me it is not 'a plan for the rest of my life', I really don't feel I need it, I'm currently content with what i have, what i _can_ do or buy, my job, my family situation, community service, etc.

Still, I seem/appear to have an untamable drive to do things that seem to spur from the creative side of my brain. It seems to be an incessant stream of thoughts, that I want to explore by mostly creating, fixing or optimizing.

I see that in my (in-law) family, most people are a lot less like that. As an example, if something is broken, the first reaction is a tendency for replacing it or having someone else fix it. If they want something, they buy; it doesn't come in their mind to create or derive it. If they don't have the money, they complain.

For some reason I am less like that, and I am really amazed by how some people try the easy way out by default, while fixing or creating seems to be so much more fulfilling.

I notice I am drifting, the Tldr is, a big 'plan for life' is not needed if you have some creativity and are open to looking around and finding opportunities for small fulfilling goals.
> It seems the premise is that those with a computer should be able to access others servers wholesale unconditionally. This premise is obviously wrong.

The premise is that I shouldn't have to give that server control over locally-running code on my PC as a prereq for access. They can enforce whatever conditions they want server-side.
Ask the cash register.
> I am not sure we disagree, as I proposed no solution.

That’s embarrassing. I actually did overstate the disagreement upon re-reading your prior comment. My apologies.

> There is a significant scale difference when I, as an individual, say whatever I want, vs when CNN or FOX (or pick whatever large scaled publisher you want) broadcasts falsehoods to everyone for their profit.

Even CNN and Fox can be held in check for literally lying, but by the people they’re lying about, and in turn they operate in a space where they report on a more powerful entity than themselves when they lie or subvert the truth. The American government is also a player in the information space, and its chief officials are not always telling the truth, or disclosing the full truth. So what we have is a wash in which information competes with information, and we don’t always have good, accurate or useful information where we need it or desire it. I still wouldn’t call this a market failure, people profit and lose off of good or bad information all the time; it’s when we allow ourselves to become tools for moneyed or empowered interests who use those programs and writings to induce action that we experience a very real human or political failure.

The purpose of the news industry is to inform, but it has always and will forever be at the behest of people with an interest in informing in a manner they prioritize in competition with other people with differing interests, and it is itself for-profit industry whether or not the profits are expressed on the P&L of a given corporation.
It isn’t deliberately complicated, and once you know why it is designed the way it is, it becomes very capable.

The biggest thing to understand about Kubernetes is that you cannot understand it as a normal piece of software. You don’t directly control it, but rather, define the conditions under which a collection of automations respond to things going on. This is how it self heals. The whole system resembles more of a garden, where you are providing the conditions in which the plant grows, but you are not directly causing the plant to grow.

For example, if you understand a pod, then the next step is understanding how to keep a pod running, how to detect failures, what go do if it does fail, and how to change out one set of pods for the next. This would be a deployment.

You build your understanding by understanding more independent automations. For example, after understanding a deployment, you can look at how horizontal pod autoscalers work. An HPA knows nothing about a deployment and its internal state, yet will inform the deployment how many pods it should be running based on the metrics it sets. The HPA and the deployment scheduler otherwise work independently, and you can indeed write something that functions as an alternate HPA, and Kubernetes will do it.

There’s also an addon for cluster autoscaling. The cluster autoscaling knows nothing of deployments or HPA. It only checks pods that are being requested, but cannot be scheduled due to constraints. It then add nodes so that pods can be scheduled.

These three different processes operate independently, and don’t share state. They each watch for a limited set of signals and take limited set of actions. If any one of these processes goes down, the system can still limp along. Together, they create a much more complex behavior out of much simpler behaviors.
No idea but this is the most interesting "coherence" as I read it:

Serious question though, why use "JSON" at all then? You can just admit it's JWCC, which is fine, at least that's a distinct term -- but even that's not a spec, it's just a blog post that very few people even know about. Even that same blog post endorses using TOML, the spec generally preferred for things that may need to be human-edited. It meets humans half-way a lot better than even JWCC, which is the kind of practicality I think even Grug would prefer.

FTA: “...the canal and the lakes and rivers that make up its watershed, which also provides fresh water to three cities, including the capital.”

Presumably, “people actually need to live in the area, and cannot drink salt water” was a factor.
[Sorry, this was supposed to be a response to the link to "They're Made out of Meat"...]

This is great! I had somehow never encountered it before.

It reminds me in tone of "D.R. and Quinch Have Fun On Earth", an anarchic and hilarious story written by Alan Moore in 1983 for the British comic 2000 AD. In that, the titular alien antiheroes time-travel across our planet (an uninteresting backwater) in order to set up an elaborate practical joke on their college dean. For the prank to reach its fruition, humanity has to make contact with galactic civilization.

"The next step", explains Quinch, jumping forward to the 1950s, "was to give these feebs the idea of getting into space. We'd stop a car or something and then D.R. would walk up and down with the water-cooler on his head and talk about the interstellar brotherhood."

"By the time we got back to our own era, 3017 by the chimps' reckoning, they were out in space and had encountered their first real, actual people. It was embarrassing. They went on holovision and looked all awestruck and recited D.R.'s Interstellar Brotherhood speech. Nobody knew where to look."

I won't spoil the ending.

The only 100% reliable way is to turn off branch prediction completely, and yes, this would make the processors at least 2 times slower, perhaps more.

Too bad that apparently nothing came out of the Mill architecture. My limited understanding is that this architecture would not have such vulnerabilities.

Of course it's possible it would have others :-) but being much simpler, at least conceptually, perhaps it would have less and easier to mitigate. Oh well.

Compared to OsmAnd, Organic Maps is quite basic.

The advantage is that it does have a very streamlined UI, so if you just want to get to a map and navigate it's far more straightforward. You really need to spend some time to understand the "quirks" of how to use OsmAnd (a downside of its long feature list).
That's fine with me, to be honest. Good people don't steal, so only bad people would be getting their hands cut off.
Our "brains" engage in abduction, never induction. And the actions of our body under our will aren't "data".

P(SensationOfTouchingACup | MyConceptCup causes HandMovement causes Sensation)

is not something with a statistical condition.

You're projecting statistics onto reality. Reality is a place of necessity, not frequency. Our bodies place of causes not consequences. Our interaction with the world is a causal knowledge.

If everything were P(A|B) knowledge would be impossible. Thankfully we're in the world and we know directly and without inference: we move our hands according to a technique and they so-move. Absent this direct, immediate, causal, certain knowledge of our own bodies --- there is no way of knowing anything.

All knowledge is a recursion from the certain causal mechanism of the body: hands to tools, tools to models, models to data; from data to refinement of models.

Otherwise all "knowledge" would be LLM-like, based merely on pre-occurrent patterns of data. There would be no imagination, no possibility, no necessity, no reason.. indeed, no knowledge.

The world painted by P(A|B,| stupid limited dumb measures of the past) is a dark, dangerous and fickle one.

You should not wish to live there. It makes no sense, nor could it. Thankfully, you're able to walk around; imagine things that have never been; actually learn; grow (organically); adapt (physiologicall); develop skills (sensory-motorily). So you arent so severly disabled you're reduced to replies which are maximially consistent with what happens to be in alll ebooks ever written by people who could write them for the first time.

You arent so disabled that the very basis of writing is precluded: direct access to the world.

The last botnet I fended off had 49131669 IPs so believe me I know: https://ipv4.games/statusz The issue is it's not their money. A lot of these botnets are compromised of ordinary people's devices that got hacked into or hijacked by some slimy mobile app, that fires off a DDOS request every ~5sec or so in the background, and they do it because hacked devices aren't easy to fingerprint. So I feel bad for what's going to happen to all those normal people if the industry pivots to using CPU hard approaches to defend themselves.

Well, if that cert can be traced back to its original creator, and that LLM is crapflooding, then that person can be blocked from user-contributed content systems.
>Then you'd just give visitors of your websites no recourse and no information whatsoever on how to fix the problem.

This is a weird assumption. What's preventing a backend system from saying "Hey, we think you're a bot. Here's an alternative way to contact us."

You obviously don't want to give away enough to help bot developers get through your system, but that's not the same as no resource and no information.

>But do you get any idea how many actual humans that you have incorrectly rejected?

Yes - like I said in my other comment, this new system actually logs all submissions. It just puts the ones it identifies as spam into a separate folder. Akismet also has the ability to mark things as false positives or false negatives.

I think that automated form submissions are very context specific. So, the example I wrote about is for a marketing site, and it's a business that primarily targets other businesses. Most of the spam it gets is for scummy SAAS software, SEO optimization, etc...

But my personal website has a very simple subscribe by email form. There were definitely a few spam submissions - someone just blasting out an email address and signing it up to whatever form would accept it. When I implemented double opt in - gone entirely.

My larger point was that as an industry, we seem to have just capitulated to client side CAPTCHAs. And it sucks. It's one of the many shitty things about the modern web. But I think it's become just an assumption that it's needed, and we haven't reexamined that assumption in a while.

I think it'd almost be better for there to be something could spin up in a container that has a base machine learning model, but can "learn" as you manually indicate messages etc... and then you can also choose a threshold based off your comfort level.
Given that this seems to be based on key placement, I wonder if the model can adapt to international layouts or alternative layouts like Dvorak.

How does that differ from a simple SMS message - afaik SMS isn't integrated in any corporate messaging system either...
That’s not what’s happening. endoftext is OpenAI’s document splitting token, so when GPT encounters it, it treats it like the end of a chat. So the chat “ends” as far as the model is concerned but the app is still sampling tokens, so GPT just… does its best. The output is similar to when you hit “Generate” with no prompt in OIA playground’s text completion mode. There, you can imagine an invisible endoftext as your prompt.
The thing about the Lord's Prayer doesn't really follow. If you use a grammatically correct and semantically commonplace 12 word sequence like that, you surely don't have 128 bits of entropy. But the ease of memorization comes almost entirely from those attributes!

To get 128 bits of entropy with words, you need to pick about thirteen out of a million words--which is on the order of all the words in the English language--and give all of them equal probability. The sequence needs to be fully random as well. What you end up with will surely be easier to memorize than a UUID, but substantially more difficult than the start of the Lord's Prayer.

EDIT: Math is wrong, I was thinking 10 bits per million instead of 20. So 6-7 words out of a million (whole language) or 13 words out of a thousand (very limited subset of the language). Point about random selection still stands, but it's certainly easier than 13 very uncommon words. Still much harder than a realistic sentence of that length, though.
