But why would I want it doing anything that it needs more than read access to a dump of the emails for? Tell me if there's something important, give me summaries, awesome. All useful stuff that's in its wheelhouse. Getting it to carry out tasks with real side effects in my inbox? Sending? No. No.

> “The end result is positive for the scientific community,” Mur said. But because the editors seemed to address the issue he raised only after he and his colleagues submitted a comment article, and “either did not read or did not understand the response to our comment,” he said the experience “made me doubt the integrity of the editorial process at the journal.”

I think one issue we have is that authors of a paper shouldn’t be forced to provide “tech support” for life under the sword of retraction. I try to reimplement analysis and algorithms in the literature all the time, and it’s hard to get it right. I don’t want to write to the authors for help without trying my best first. And I don’t get to write to the editors complaining about no response unless I’m thoroughly convinced of an error.

That’s why I think the comment article triggering a real investigation is the right process. It showed that Mur put enough effort into his replication effort by thoroughly describing the process.

The final exchange with the authors was confusing to me, I don’t get what happened. But I do think Mur was right to be frustrated at that moment.
I know it's fun to hate on billionaires these days, but it's not a conspiracy to short sell. If you look at the PE ratio and look at the automotive market and other telsa ventures, it's perfectly reasonable to believe it will not "clear the runway" with growth. The short sellers also happened to be really wrong this year.

i agree with your points, especially the red flag. that's pretty clear. and the reason why so many offers exist also makes a lot of sense.

i am not sure about the pizza comparison because that's a question of capacity and location too. in any given location there is only a few and maybe there is room for a sixth but not for many more.

for a monitoring service the question is: what drives the diversity instead of everyone using the same one service?

why would i trust a new service instead of one others have recommended?

like email: there are thousands of email providers, but only a handful huge ones like gmail. is that different, or is it the same with monitoring services?

i guess my question is: how would i break into the market and find my first customers?

Tuning PostgreSQL for High Write Throughput (2017)
Before this comment section fills with people self diagnosing themselves as geniuses: I feel this.

This post is going to sound pedantic and annoying because … that is what Aspergers does to you.

I can write dozens of pages of highly analytical and technical text without making mistakes in real time. I can speed read complex texts and memorize them with a high degree of precision.

From the “language” perspective I feel highly gifted and unusual. Not so much on the mathematical side. I almost have a disability with mathematics.

I have taught myself advanced skills and switched careers multiple times without the required degrees. Worked at the top companies in the world with PhDs and others.

However. I feel constantly discriminated against and treated like I am stupider than I am. And when people listen to me talk, they get incredibly threatened.

It has taken me years to understand that being around me and listening to me talk, reason and analyze is THREATENING to people.

I have had situations where, even after a few meetings where I felt I was just “talking about how things are” the other person left HATING me.

The way I express myself is perceived almost like being hit with a physical object. I believe I have Aspergers (have tested very highly for it).

I will tell you - it is INCREDIBLY CAREER LIMITING.

I have given up trying to work in the normal world. It just doesn’t work for me. The pattern always repeats - I join a company, I get targeted and singled out and ganged up on.

If you are like me it is like being incredibly advantaged while being incredibly disadvantaged at the same time.

It’s like being Usain Bolt except your sprinting lane has an obstacle course in it while everyone else gets to run in a normal lane.

The obstacle course is DELIBERATELY put there. It is human nature to instantly identify existential threats: People who are unusually more talented than them and take them out.

I have learned, and am adapting.

Unfortunately, if you want to succeed in this world you have to play a set of games, these are games that I really don’t want to play.

If I have to play them, I am going to try to play outside the system.

I have realized that all the advice which most people follow that works for them does not work for me.

I do things completely differently and have to come up with my own strategies about how to operate.

Here is the other reality: If you are very talented and gifted, NO ONE WILL NOTICE AND TELL YOU.

That sounds completely weird but it is true.

No one in my entire life, aside from a few offhand comments, took me aside and went: “uhhh…you are in a completely other category than these people and do not belong here. Do this instead.”

Instead it is the isolation - I do not understand why no one wants to interact or include me, and it happens very fast. Most people get a whiff and go “I have no idea what to do with this and don’t want to be around it.”
I replied specifically to a comment concerning the ability of an extreme right wing government to use them as a propaganda channel by pointing out that there are some checks and balances in place.

And you reply to that by saying the inclusion of women, churches, unions and LGBT-organisations is a left thing and insinuating I have a political agenda. And the last quote actually says it does not live up to being a cross-section of society because underprivileged groups are not adequately represented. Going by your logic that would mean they're not left after all, right?

But seriously, you're spreading some pretty radical opinions all over this thread, calling people names and calling for the jailing of entire groups of people. I'm not going to further interact with you. Have a good night :-)
I like how you bring up environment.

You can't therapy your way out of a terrible living situation. That's why it's important for people struggling mentally or otherwise to just simply hang on if they're unable to work on a solution.

Last week I spoke at the Chaos Communication Congress about real-world exploits I discovered in LLM apps and how vendors fixed issues over the course of last year (basically impacting all major vendors).

From stealing emails and source code, to remote code execution and of course scamming users there are a lot of threats to consider and a lot that can go (and as these exploits and fixes show, already has gone) wrong when building Chatbots and LLM apps.

Carta CEO's response to the unsolicited outreach to their customers' investors
Here is the HN discussion on original accusations: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38886915

Carta CEO's first response saying it was a one time employee mistake that happened on Friday: https://x.com/henrysward/status/1743713154721554849?s=20

Evidence by Karri that it happened well before Friday, and happened to multiple other companies too, questioning if it was indeed a one time incident: https://x.com/karrisaarinen/status/1743741496921383250?s=20

The linked tweet is Carta's CEO Henry Ward's comment ranting about how Karri should have reached out to them instead of publicly questioning the company, accusing him of using this incident to increase his twitter/linkedin exposure.

By definition, semantic search works best by similarity. Thus, the interface you are looking for, is one that facilitates selecting one or multiple objects (i.e. video games).
For business focused software, we have had success simply not allowing direct prompting and rather having prompting happen behind the scenes, kind of like backend code. Narrow prompts return results to the UI for interaction indirectly through structured data fields. Obviously not possible in all LLM applications.
1) Because at some point it’d be very useful for it to be able to do additional things. It wasn’t long ago that people were making similar arguments that it’d be crazy to allow AI systems to read/write from the open internet but here we are. Either we solve the problem (great!) or people will just start deploying and using unsafe systems — assuming these tools continue their current trajectory of capability.

2) You individually don’t need to make this decision in order to be at risk of such an attack. Is everyone you interact with over email also going to be as thoughtful?

I believe this might already happen on the function level (for some functions), but in terms of the entire browser, not right now. Could be a fun idea.
You can JMP to a "function" (which JMPs to a function... etc) where the last function RET. It all works like it's a single function body.

-It's not very apparent where the search functionality actually search in. seems like it only works for what is loaded in for the current page?
>I'd be curious to hear what people think is state of the art of this kind of problem?

I would assume Amazon's product suggestion would be SotA for reccomending a book based off of another. It is a recommondation system and while it uses semantic search there are many more ranking signals it uses.

Imagine sharing your disapproval of russia’s - or any other country’s war actions - in ukraine only to end up in trouble in a country that claims to support ukraine. Truly frightening what that person must be going through knowing what expects her if she returns to russia, and worse, truly frightening once you realise that a country meant to provide safety is actually equally disrespectful of free speech.

You don't need a conspiracy theory here when there is a far simpler explanation:

China has 1B potential viewers/customers that hollywood wants as an audience to grow and increase profit, so they'll do their best not to anger the chinese government. As a consequence movies avoid showing China in a bad light and they avoid topic that could get movies censored or forbidden in China.

> I am still profoundly confused about what the 'tactics' truly are.

They're macros: a `tactic a` is (after sanding off the implementation details) a function

tactic_state -> Either (tactic_state, error) (tactic_state, a)

where `tactic_state` is the internal state of the elaborator.
> And the scientists have mostly themselves to blame for this sad state of affairs.

Ehh, that's debatable.

There's been a decades-long campaign to malign science and science-related institutions by big tobacco, big oil, various religious sects, and political groups because science regularly gets in the way of those groups' profits/beliefs/legal maneuvers.

While scientists do regularly pick up a footgun, it's important to acknowledge the various powerful entities that want them distrusted and pay big money to further that goal.

The best part is that Boeing had EICAS, the engine indicating and crew alerting system, in the early 80s with the introduction of the 757/767.

In the mid-90s, when they updated the 737 to the Next Generation, they opted to stay with the six-pack recall light system that every 737 pilot hates. Same in the Max. Too expensive to change and would likely require a new type rating.

The A320 was such a technological leap forward in commercial aviation. Boeing wasn’t able to match it until the introduction of the 777, almost a decade later.
I pretty much tune out of any argument as soon as it devolves into "think of the children".

Maybe parent your children so when they go digging around in open source code and find some furry art it doesn't somehow destroy them.
The EA crew did not follow the 2 step procedure in the Emergency Airworthiness Directive given to all MAX crews before the EA crash.

Also, before the LA crash, the MCAS failure happened on the previous flight of the same aircraft, and the crew just turned off the stab trim, and continued the flight normally and landed safely. That crew was unaware of MCAS, but they followed standard runaway trim emergency procedure.
Ok...and how exactly does this invalidate client side programming?

> * if you just bash on the keyboard randomly until you get a result, or just copy-paste from StackOverflow, or just let an LLVM spew something, that's not programming - there's no choice.

To add a more substantive example to the conversation: do you really think the developer of Photopea built an entire Photoshop clone in the browser by mashing keys on his keyboard randomly? You think there was no choice in the development of a project like that?

> * if you do deliberately choose something, but your choice fails to produce a meaningful result, that's not programming - there's no order.

Do you think the client side developers behind something like Google Docs have failed to "produce a meaningful result"?

You've come up with an interesting set of criteria, but you have nothing to apply it to. That's why your original comment was flagged, and referred to as posturing.
People who don't understand prompt injection are much more likely to say "let's hook it up to everything because it would be cool".

Dude. Relax, I’m pointing you at an issue, not that particular article, neither numbers. Geez…

You wouldn’t build a website with a single point of failure, yet the argument here is it’s okay to engineer things badly because of the success rate of requests is high.

I think it speaks to current generation of leaders avoiding thought, consideration, foresight, insight, and just using any statistic that can justify a decision.

It’s a decline and one that also explains the excitement that LLMs/AI might be able to help us think less, know less, and perhaps be even less responsible for our work products.
I worked on port of a Konami game from PSX to PC, that was 1999-2000 - the code (C) had lots of #ifdefs like where inline assembly was placed, and the original "C" code was kept. It seemed all done by one specific programmer, and what really saved us (in porting) the game was the originallly kept "C" code. My mips knowledge was never as good as x86.

So yes, it was the norm back then. My second job (1998), was working on a team that was going to do some software for Intel for the upcoming back then Katmai processor (Pentium I was it). It had all the new fancy SIMD instructions. The software was supposed to be something like media composer - you slap images, rotate them, etc all in realtime using software rendering (GPUs were still relatively expensive).

I wrote a bilinear and bicubic texture mapper with marching squares for transparent areas. It was all in assembly, and I spent lots of time optimizing it. Back then we used Intel's VTune, and it was super-precise (for the processors back then) - how they are going to pipeline, how much (supposedly) instructions cycles would take, waits, etc. That helped a lot!

But the real lesson was, that me and my manager - both claiming to be super good at assembly (after our recent achievements), rewrote the sphere mapping code for a game another team was writting in assembly, but alas our assembly (but no katmai instructions) code was slower than what the compiler did ;) - TBH, if we did proper mipmapping and texture swizzling we would've fared both ways, but hey, demo coders were not always to be found so they had to rely on regular programmers like us!

flipcode keeps a lot of good articles, with lots of good assembly for that - https://www.flipcode.com/archives/articles.shtml - there were even better materials from earlier years, but can't find them.

Turbo/Borland Pascal were so awesome, because they allowed for very easy of inline assembly use (somehow) than C/C++ - though you had to know which registers you can touch or not.
We used the same trick to build a huge monster 'zoo', by trapping monsters into cages of chests. Good times.

How do you enforce that rule? It’s not always easy to pick your flight and aircraft like that (without a lot of money). I’ve got a flight with a national carrier and it’s on a 777; a tried and trusted aircraft and airline so that’s decent reassurance.

I think the big thing out of this is that 737s specifically are just outright scary to see on your flight. You should try to avoid any new (2014 onwards?) Boeing aircraft.
This was in 1999. C++ compilers have come a long ways since then. While there are still opportunities for hand-written asm to go and order of magnitude faster than C++, they're mostly around manual vectorization where the auto-vectorizer fails.
Thanks! I was going to link this after just seeing the article. Nice find on the corridor project too.
