The documentation for system prompts is setting off all of my prompt injection red flags: https://docs.anthropic.com/claude/docs/how-to-use-system-pro...

I guess that design is at least honest: OpenAI field the system prompt in a separate fragment of JSON, but it all gets concatenated back together (with some magic delimiter tokens) when it's fed to the underlying model.

The planned obsolescence was when Apple put a small battery in a flagship phone that could no longer produce the required voltage and/or current to keep up with hardware demands despite being only moderately used. Apple is the same company that brags about forever years of software updates, but plenty of people were running into this issue after only a few years, including my own mother who's iPhone couldn't even make a single phone call despite the battery reporting 90% state of charge.

Notably, this will no longer be an issue on modern iPhones because they have much more reasonable batteries.

Apple underspecced the batteries in iPhones and then hid the software kludge they made to hide that fact. That's why the reaction is warranted.

To provide some clarity on this, it likely isn't targeting specifically non-Chrome browsers.

Disclaimer: fmr Googler, used to work on YouTube

Likely, this isn't necessarily targeting Firefox/Safari/Etc, but rather is using the UserAgent as part of a tuple with other factors. It _is_ however an anti-adblock measure meant to determine if the video is automatically getting skipped forward.

The reason on why changing your useragent "fixes" the problem, is that you're changing the tuple and the anti-adblock system won't serve the code-at-issue until it determines whether you'd be a good candidate for the experiment.

Secondarily, YouTube has no financial incentive to actively punish non-chrome useragents. They make money in their division by serving ads, regardless of the useragent.
>OpenAI doesn’t disclose what data it used to train GPT-4, its most advanced large language model, but lawyers for Sancton say ChatGPT divulged the secret. “In the early days after its release, however, ChatGPT, in response to an inquiry, confirmed: “Yes, Julian Sancton’s book ‘Madhouse at the End of the Earth’ is included in my training data,” the lawsuit reads.

This is evidence of absolutely nothing as GPT cannot reflect over what is or is not in it’s training set. I’m shocked this is reported uncritically - here the impartiality of ‘just the facts’ distorts more than it enlightens.

Yep, and ever since a certain insurance provider has switched to an AI system, I've had nearly all my Type 1 Diabetic prescriptions rejected (that I've had no problem getting for over a decade).

app stores do a lot more than payment processors though. Maybe not 30% worth, but definitely mote than 1-2%.

The real issue though is that there isn't a good way to handle every app. In a normal world, every app would cost money to buy, and they would only be charged on the purchase prize. But in a world where most apps are free and then there are in-app purchases, there isn't really any other way for those to be monetized but to take a cut of transactions. But obviously these things don't scale the same.
Pencil and paper is the best environment for working out anything at all difficult.

Was your comment unpopular, or wrong?
Ooooh this is very cute.

I'm toying with building a little OS using the Linux kernel and an all-Go userspace, and one of the goals is to make the entire system as easy to cross-compile (both host OS and host/guest CPU arch) as possible. Linux being non-trivial to compile (let alone cross-compile) has been so far quite a nuissance, so I'll definitely be having a closer look at this.
Also disagree. When Whatsapp was paid, everyone used to sideload it (Telecom services are bad that whatsapp was a very good option, but no payment option in my country). Some people wanted to sideload it because of internet issue, cheaper to got someone else to share the apk file. Sideloading was very easy.

Not "wrong", dubious.

It is quite appropriate to call such declarations dubious.

Your explanation is fine, however, this 'no evidence' refrain that has been used to mislead the public has gone on long enough. At this point when that is in print the assumption may as well be the opposite.

> You can see that a kWh on a sunny summer noon when all panels the area are working well, isn't worth the same as a kWh in the cold winter night

Often by a huge margin. Electricity prices on the spot market can go negative, and that will happen more and more often in the future on sunny, windy days. Net metering at constant $/kWh prices is unsustainable, economically.
As a hiring manager, based on the average candidate that gets forwarded to me after presumably several rounds of filtering (some mechanical, some human), the idea that there is some kind of smart matching going on is slightly ridiculous: they can't tell a security-focused software developer resume from an assurance-focused security specialist, for example.
That could lead to a Streisand effect.
We probably do. I like that filament bulbs have much smaller driver requirements and much better heat dissipation, and I can stuff 100W bulbs into enclosures without worry. The only thing I don't love is that they are somewhat more prone to flicker. Not enough that my eyes notice, but some might.

Sure. But that's not actually a very useful description when trying to figure out how to use and apply these models to solve problems or understand what their limitations are.

We don't to the level we want to.

I think I'd rather be in a bigger boat, provided that it doesn't break up

This is a very high structural demand. Torpedoes work best, when they can effectively "lift" the keel, breaking the back of the ship. (Not exactly, but kind of, IIRC.) Very high sea swells apparently do the same thing! When there's far less buoyancy supporting one end of the ship than the other, the entire ship has to act as a cantilever. At the size of large ships, the square-cube law dominates, and the ship is far more fragile at that scale than a model boat would be. Even steel structures at that scale are flex-y.

And to return to the topic at hand, despite that article pointing to some weakness in the Haskell community, Haskell is thriving, so "We're suggesting that people should just use Rust (or Haskell, or F#, or any other robust functional programming language) instead" seems like reasonable advice to me.
The answer to that one is of indeed YES.

It would appear that there are different rules when profit is involved, which ironically is exactly what OpenAI's nonprofit parent was intended to prevent.
Maybe the scope of the tasks is different, but I've tried to have it do things like analyze a chat app export in order to help come up with marketing content and it wouldn't do it, because it's "unethical". I've also had similar friction testing it for threat intel related tasks as well.

Ask HN: Why aren't brilliant people even a little bit afraid of AI alignment?
I love this quote: "Imagine the unfriendly AI wakes up and decides it needs to (a) start a cult that promotes human extinction and technological development at all costs, and hack our social systems to make that the cool thing to be (b) recruit the most powerful people in the world to prevent it from being shut down"

I can understand not being a "doomer" and I even myself want to keep going with AI as is and reject Eliezer Yudkowsky's plea to stop, but what I don't understand is why aren't more brilliant people even a little bit conflicted about this? It seems if you even hint you have some doubts and say well, maybe 1% chance Eliezer is right you are told NO, it's not even 1%. It's 0%!
GTA 3 certainly did. I remember because I basically spent a few weeks listening to Weezer's Green album (that came out a few months prior) over and over while playing the game.

Most pesticides are neurotoxins that are more effective against insects than mammals. For instance, this stuff

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malathion

is rapidly metabolized to harmless byproducts in mammals but is also rapidly metabolized to much more harmful substances inside insects. It is just fine to spray your dog with Raid

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pyrethrin

but not your cat

https://vcahospitals.com/know-your-pet/pyrethrinpyrethroid-p...

because cats don't break them down aggressively like other mammals.

It's not to say that pesticides might not have long term effects on humans (my suspicion is that there is some toxic substance in the environment that is making everybody fat and it could be a pesticide) but I'd think that trace quantities would affect bees worse than humans.

I struggle with executive dysfunction; when people describe a more aggressive routine than I could manage, I just mentally translate the numbers and level of consistency into what's achievable rather than berate them. Their point was: start with what's possible for you and go from there, because you don't need to achieve a certain threshold of activity or knowledge for the exercise to benefit you.

I gather the pricing is $8 for a million input tokens [1] so if your language's manual is the size of a typical paperback novel, that'd be about $0.8 per question. And presumably you get to pay that if you ask any follow-up questions too.

This may work for some people, but not others. For me, nothing is as unpleasant as running. Back when I tried to forcd myself to do it as part of my gym routine, I was actively dreading it the moment I woke up, after a week or two. It took all my willpower every time to run another minute, another 100m, etc. No other exercise I tried is as unpleasant and demotivating to me.
To understand the depth number, this is how deep in the move tree the model looks forward in order to evaluate positions. I think depth 22 corresponds to 22 ply ie 11 moves by each player. At each depth it might evaluate 8-10 candidate moves or so, so a depth of 48 is clearly vastly stronger, not just "a bit more than twice as strong" which it might sound like.

I'm a very average chess player, and there are moves I play that stockfish at depth 16 things are a blunder that at depth 32 it thinks are a brilliancy. These are typically things in openings I play a lot where I've had a chance to do some homework and learn the best moves on a high depth.

If they're standing on a public sidewalk, not trespassing, and all they're doing is holding some video equipment... then what is the basis of the cops confrontation in the first place? Is there some probable cause to believe the cop needs to do any of those things you mentioned? Why is the cop getting involved? The root of the whole issue is that cops are over-policing. They need to know when to just leave people alone because they're not doing anything illegal or really even suspicious in most cases. The cops just want to be bully's and control every situation even if unconstitutionally.

There's dozens (hundreds?) of unenforced laws on the books. I'm sure it varies by jurisdiction (where I live, using your turn signal is optional and cops would never pull you over for failure to signal- it's effectively unheard of.) Point being, cops can decided when to police and when not to police. Recording them at work seems to be a line they do not like people to cross and they don't really care if it's constitutionally protected or not.
I dunno, I think teaching functional programming to kids is an awesome goal, but at the same time most "real programming" they'll move on to (javascript, python etc) is going to be imperative.

It's probably a better learning experience for kids to be able to get to a point where they can make fun things like games and websites, and then teach them how to improve the correctness of programs.

> valid argument to be made that access to AI medical advice is better than access to no medical advice.

This is not true. And it's where I believe your whole response takes a wrong turn.

Why is it wrong? Because of risk of harm.

Giving out wrong information can easily kill people. Or permanently insure them. There's a tremendous amount of harm that can occur if you do things wrong in medicine.

When you attach "an AI said X" to something, it adds the appearance of authority. This makes it incredibly dangerous. Folks that don't know enough will believe that the "advice" is true because it "comes from an AI" (and how could an AI be wrong? It's advanced! It's smart! It _can't be wrong_ because the company is using it instead of a real Doctor, and _they wouldn't want to harm me with something that can be wrong_...right?)

For example, let's take COVID. If you had GPT say "go take hydroxychloroquine for COVID", you'd end up with a lot of people getting harmed by (1) taking a drug that's not going to help them when they _think_ it would (so they're not going to do something else for treatment, because they incorrectly think they're already being treated) and (2) there's always side effects to taking _any drug_, and these side effects may actually cause _more harm_ than doing nothing.

Best practices would dictate that you still build WebAPIs for your Blazor apps, to avoid that potentially happening. It will also give you a clean separation of concerns in your application.

I've been in similar situations before, and even quite recently and I've started taking a more stoic approach to work and it's greatly helped my metal health.

That is to say, I focus on what I can change or improve and let someone else deal with the rest. I've put too much energy in the past on things I can't change, broken processes that everyone else is completely OK with, lack of testing/CI, horrible leadership teams, bad architectural decisions. If I can change any of those things I do, but a lot of time it's political and really difficult, you often have to "boil the frog slowly."

I also try to squeeze the absolute most I can out of the job to advance my career. Any chance I can to gain a new skill or improve existing ones, or just work on something interesting, that's what I'll do.
