> It's not a breakthrough discovery

It would be if it worked. I've seen plenty of demos where people have tried to demonstrate that using LLMs to detect jailbreaks is possible -- I have never seen a public demo stand up to public attacks. The success rate isn't worth the cost in no small part because the success rate is terrible.

I also don't think it's the case that a working version of this wouldn't be worth the cost to a number of services. Many services today already chain LLM output and make multiple calls to GPT behind the scenes. Windows built in assistant rewrites queries in the backend and passes them between agents. Phind uses multiple agents to handle searching, responses, and followup questions. Bing is doing the same thing with inputs to DALL-E 3. And companies do care about this at least somewhat -- look how much Microsoft has been willing to mess with Bing to try and get it to stay polite during conversations.

Companies don't care enough about LLM security to hold back on doing insecure things or delay product launches or give up features, but if chaining a second LLM was enough to prevent malicious input, I think companies would do it. I think they'd jump at a simple way to fix the problem. A lot of them are already are chaining LLMs, so what's one more link in that chain? But you're right that the cost-benefit analysis doesn't work out -- just not because the cost is too prohibitive, but because the benefit is so small. Malicious prompt detection using chained LLMs is simply too easy to bypass.

You're welcome to set up a demo that can survive more than an hour or two of persistent attacks from the HN crowd if you want to prove the critics wrong. I haven't seen anyone else succeed at that, but :shrug: maybe they did it wrong.
> For example, if your team is meant to be in 3 days a week, this number [days swiped out of possible] should equal 60%

Oh geez. That tells me that less than 30 seconds of thought was put into that line in the policy. Surely, there are PTO days, sick days, business travel days, and other reasons to have that figure show as less than 60%.

Said differently, if it was 2019 and the team policy is 5 days a week, does HR imagine that figure would be 100%?
We already use a lot of natural rubber in tyres. At least in the winter here in Norway. And those tyres are made by Nokian, Michelin et al.
- Unity still performs circles around Godot's 3d projects, even without taking into account DOTS. They fix a lot of their c# scripting performance issues with IL2CPP, so you essentially get the best of both world in terms of c++ performance with C# scripting. That's not something any other engine would be able to easily replicate.

- The renderers are fundamentally different. Godot has advertised their rendering to not be as flexible while Unity throw you some weird shader language that lets you do whatever you want. There's a lot of jank in Unity's renderers but they are still more mature than Godot.

- Physics is a huge weakness of Godot and Unity has options to either use their much more mature built-in physics or Havok (IIRC).

to name a few technical comparisions. Godot still has a way to go before being comparable with Unity in regards to 3D.
Reminds me of the most interesting (to me) of the Huberman Lab episodes I listened to, the one with Dr Erich Jarvis, at Rockefeller, about speech, language and movement eg dance. The description doesn't do the content justice. Fully mind blowing.

Yes, it's full of "glowies." (We can thank Terry Davis of Temple OS fame for that term.) Occasionally, a nutcase who intends to do harm will have been found to hang out there[1], and the glowies don't want to be the last to find out if said nutcase posts their intentions in advance. Which is fair enough. That's their job, after all.

> The reason some of us don't believe that consciousness is something else than the state of a brain following physical processes is that the latter is a much simpler theory and matches every objective observation we can make.

I have personally seen and experienced things that cannot be explained by these physical theories, and while you may want to just throw those observations as delusions or fraud, consider how the standard process of deciding what counts as “scientific evidence” is biased towards those that are consistent with the status quo.

You actually don’t need to look too far to find things that don’t quite sit well with the established theories. Those that are not obviously fraud. People then just casually explain them away as coincidence or physiological illusions or the like.

I can totally understand how people can convince themselves that the established theories are sufficient unless and until they experience a dramatic event that throws them off course. That said the rabbit hole is truly deep if you actually spend time searching for info.

I’m just trying to tell you that the quoted sentence is just plainly wrong. I have no obviously better theories however, and to the extent that modern science can convince a large part of the population that the quoted sentence is correct shows how reasonably well the theories of modern science holds up to scrutiny. I just think it’s a disservice to all to brush away the weird bits that don’t fit.
Why would it cool in 12k years? We are loading the atmosphere with carbon sequestered over much longer periods. Some of which even happened in a phase of massive
imbalance in the evolutionary "war" between plants and plant consumers: trees had found a way to never rot (be consumed) which is rather tragic for incumbent biological systems but a crazy boost for carbon sequestering.

The problem is not that we produce heat, the problem is that we change the balance point between energy influx from the sun and energy emission to space. That changed balance point will remain changed much, much longer than 12k years. If we don't have a technological miracle, humans 12k in the future will live in tiny habitable zones near the poles.

That would be nuts. What would be the incentive for people to “opt in” to marketing spam? Get 10% off your next order if you leave marketing notifications on for 1 month?

Instagram I had to disable from notifications entirely, so now I miss messages from friends frequently, because the app bombards you with so much unrelated junk.

I suspect these companies know this, they know we don’t want spurious notifications, but they abuse whatever notification policies the OS provides in order to deliver you them anyways.
How do you know that the 24/96 and 16/44 came from the same masters? If this isn't controlled for then of course the result might be different.[0]

Also, what is xm1000w3s? I can't find any record of this so I'm guessing maybe it is referring to the WH1000XM3 headphones? Given ldac is also mentioned this seems a reasonable guess as it's a bluetooth model. If that's the case I wouldn't call it "good listening equipment", the default frequency response curve of the wh1000xm3 is incredibly bad, it's barely worth listening to classical music on without using AutoEq[1] or something equivalent (I have a pair and it's much worse than my old Ath M50s which were like half the price). The bass heavy curve of the headphones is far more noticeable than any difference between 16/24 bit audio would ever make.

One application of (EV) cars is the robotaxi. Once this solution reaches critical mass, car ownership as we see it today will drop off.

If I can send my car out to be a robotaxi while I'm at work and/or :^) asleep, then how much do I care that MY specific vehicle return to bring ME home, when I could just use any other robotaxi available? So then I don't own a car at all and ownership elsewhere falls and the number of total cars drops to the number needed to handle only the maximum number of simultaneous rides.
Employer provided and managed hardware is treated as a hostile entity on my network. Separate SSID, separate VLAN, no access to local resources whatsoever. I don't even let them talk to my local DNS server, they reach out to Google and/or Cloudflare.

Further, I don't put any personal accounts on employer provided hardware. For example, I always use a dedicated GitHub account for work stuff and the key and password never leave that machine. This ensures a clean break when I'm no longer at that employer.

"live" debate selects far less for truth and far more for "skill at debating" which is nearly orthogonal to being correct.

This is one common definition of the term history, but it's not a very good one and largely relegated to outdated encyclopedia entries rather than describing how professionals investigate history. It's very poor as a technical definition. For instance, does "history" in an area start when someone writes something, or does the writing have to survive to the present day? Does only one person need to write, or does it need to be socially widespread? Does it have to be full writing or does protowriting count? Do we have to be able to read the writing? Do partial readings count? These ambiguities weren't issues back when it was being used as a criterion for "civilization" ala childe, but that time has long since passed.

Today, it's best to ignore all these difficult and largely unnecessary questions by simply using a descriptive definition where "history is the human past".
I'm still personally very cautious of these models. There's a seemingly unlimited attack surface here that is going to take a long time to protect.

The debate is whether we wait for society to change or we change the technology. If cars didn’t pollute the existential threat from cars is removed. That problem is pure engineering and tractable, while social change is unsure and difficult thing to accomplish.

This isn’t the end of car related issues. But we can and should address the engineering and technology addressable things, and concurrently with the social change. As you say it’s existential. There are a lot of other issues about car culture - the extensive use of land for car infrastructure for instance, that are important, but not existential. I even think making biking safer is important, but it’s absolutely not existential. A less car dependent culture is neither necessary nor sufficient to address the issues of tire microplastic, co2 release, etc, as we still have the use of cars as they exist pervasively for other reasons than going to the store.

My point though is that people like driving so they will drive even if it kills everyone. That’s abundantly clear. People move out of urban cores into suburbs partly because of the car culture is more to their preference. That’s not a new phenomenon and it’s not restricted to the US. Many friends in UK, Holland, Germany, etc, moved out of the cities for a more suburban car centric life. So, if you can’t easily change the behavior or preference (which I never see happening in a democracy), then why not address the ways in which cars destroy the earth? The logic doesn’t make sense to you because you posed a false dichotomy. The options aren’t “destroy the earth with cars or save the earth without cars,” because cars don’t necessarily have to destroy the earth.

As an exercise of the imagination, imagine hydroelectric charged hovering quadracopter electric vehicles. They no longer produce microplastics or co2. Their batteries are 100% recyclable. What specifically would the issue be then? Is it absurd to imagine such a thing? Given current technology, it’s absolutely NOT absurd. Given future technology it’s fully achievable. Instead of flying vehicles, maybe just not touching the ground is enough? Etc. This may not be how we solve the issues, but it’s a lot more plausible in my mind than convincing everyone to pack into an urban core and stop driving to Costco.
> Zero COVID was and still is the rational strategy

How? The vaccines are mediocre at best and are nowhere near good enough to get R < 1 (except maybe in a population where most people already had COVID, and that’s a big maybe). Masks might be effective enough if everyone wears a good one correctly, but good luck — even if you convinced people, people like eating indoors. And seeing each other’s faces, etc. And the antigen tests are not terrible sensitive.
You can't, tho, because no major apps actually separate the promotional notifications.
I think the big question is does it matter outside of vitamin d deficiency.

Severe vit d deficiency obviously is strongly negatively selective. So that by itself explains the evolution of white skin in northern climates. I dont think evolution can be used as evidence for other benefits, since vit d deficiency would cause that just by itself.

I have an iOS device, so can’t speak for Google, but I suspect that’s what Apple has been _trying_ to do.

The problem is that these apps are essentially adversarial in their notifications. If you have a mechanism for “only the most essential notifications”, then they simply mark all their notifications as “essential” (looking at you Uber). Try to limit their notifications using “only is summary” or disabling them and the app will gleefully deny you all notifications, rendering it basically useless. Uber is particular is guilty for this - the app is conspicuously free of meaningful notification controls.
I recall some apps seemed to keep inventing new categories that I hadn't blocked yet.
Odd contrast in culture; as someone who spent all my life in a society where "sleeping on the job" is considered absolutely unacceptable, this feels to me like it's solving the symptom but not the cause.
