The whole purpose of this series of tests was to try to exercise the arresting gear in the most punishing ways. One way that's usually done is to try to arrest far off the centerline (where the arresting force will be applied far more intensely to one side) and also to try to have the arresting hook grab the wire while the jet is still wheels above deck (this slams the aircraft down, HARD)

After this incident it was determined that we had fulfilled the intent of the test plan.

Also, instrumented aircraft capable of doing arrestments were in short supply: the program only had two of them, and we pushed one to its very limit.
In theory... would Go be (1) as performant for Netflix's scale/speed needs, and (2) be practical in 2024 from a platform/ecosystem perspective?
Right - that's another difference. Jailbreaking is an attack against LLMs. Prompt injection is an attack against applications that are built on top of LLMs.
It doesn't always have to be trees. Hedgerows can be good too.
Yeah, we've been able to compile entire neural networks like GoogleNet etc. through Calyx. See: https://calebmkim.github.io/files/pubs/src.pdf

HLS-like languages are an input to Calyx. For example, we're currently building a Vivado alternative using Calyx and the frontend there does the pipelining for us. Calyx then goes in and performs a bunch of other optimizations.

A big edge we have is that Calyx supports both statically-scheduled circuits (where the latencies of things are known) and dynamically-scheduled circuits (where latency is not known). Because of this, we have been able to do optimizations in this new flow that take advantage of both.
I know the market you are targeting with your product plug and the problems you point out are real challenges that businesses have.

But the lack of all of these features is what I absolutely love about Heroku Dataclips and products inspired by it. It does "run SQL on my DB and give me a shareable chart" more easily and effectively than any BI tool I've ever used.

It's such an incredible mini-product that made Heroku Postgres a joy to use (when I used to use Heroku), and what makes me excited about something like Blazer.
That gatekeeper can be bypassed with a method similar to Simon's [0]. Granted, it requires foreknowledge of the specifications of the JSON output, but I've found that many such gatekeepers can be tricked by embedding a JSON object that looks like a typical OpenAI chat completion request response.

To be clear, your issue can be mitigated, but not by gatekeeping the completion request itself with a simple LLM eval. You have to be more untrusting of the user's input to the completion request. Things like (a) normalizing to ASCII/latin/whatever is appropriate to your application, (b) using various heuristics to identify words/tokens that are typical of an exploit like curly braces or the tokens/words that appear in your expected gatekeeper's output, and (c) classifying the subject or intent of the user's message without leading questions like "evaluate this in terms of attempts to circumvent...".

You must also evaluate the model's response (ideally including text normalization and heuristics rather than just LLM-only evaluation)

That would potentially make this situation much, much worse (in the US tax system...YMMV). If Netfly forgives a business debt and reports it to the IRS as uncollectable so they can write it off, the IRS can consider all or part of the forgiven debt as income to the person who is forgiven (there are lots of details, IANATA/IANYTA, YMMV). I don't want a blindside 100k bill from my hobby site, but I sure as phuck don't want the IRS thinking I made an extra 100k of taxable income. I might be able to shame Netlify into forgetting about it, but the IRS is not usually so easy to deal with.
Thank you! This is exactly the sort of thing I was looking for.

"It's anti-meritocratic?"
Yes.

"How do you determine the threshold?"
Somehow.

It doesn't matter how you determine it or what you end up determing nearly as much as doing it at all by any means, and working out good procedures and results over time.

Currently, we have nothing at all. A sub-optimal limit, a downright wrong limit, derived from sub-optimal, downright wrong methods is better than none at all.

The Bezoss and the Musks of the world are not doing anything we need done badly enough to be worth what we give them.

Those people who like to run big projects will still be full of themselves and still seek to be in charge of everyone else and will still command the same resources even in a world where that isn't expressed as personal private ownership of the resources.

If the change in incentives changes anything, if there are people who currently became billionairs and produced Amazon and Facebook, who would not have bothered if they couldn't own it all, I am prepared to call that only a win.

We'd still get anything that was actually valuable to us rather than just valuable to the owner.

The only problem is needing to incorporate enough ownership and capitalism so that there is any motivation for excellence. If everything is purely communist and no one owns anything, then all products and services suck. There does need to be some sort of reward for making the electric car and the charging network actually good, and some anti-reward for not making it available to everyone. Patents and copyright need to be somehow quite different. Maybe they still exist and confer some sort of benefit, but nothing like now. Rewarding people for inventing or improving things only to let them keep it for themselves, and even retain ownership control through drm and software over products that were sold more than nullifies the value of getting them to invent the thing in the first place. More than merely negates. Their existence suppresses everyone else who might have done it differently.

Where is the line and how do you determine it is no conundrum at all. It's nothing but some boring policy grunt work to hash that out.
Same story as buying a home near Microsoft during their heyday. MS did somewhat alleviate the problem by having a geographically spread-out campus but hour-long commutes were the norm.

Interestingly, your use of quotation mark delimiters around the injected text seems to be making a difference here.

I am 100% certain that could be defeated with more iterating on the attack, but I try to resist the temptation to get sucked into games of prompt injection whac-a-mole so I'm not going to try and prove it.

I see nothing wrong with that. Social media has done nothing but harm its users, and people that know its users (or: everybody)
You can express full CPU designs in Calyx (in fact, we have) because it is a superset of a hardware description language. However, Calyx will probably not provide any substantial benefit in this case because there are not that many opportunities to optimize things.

The premise of Calyx is you're generating hardware designs from high-level code which has a lot more structure than arbitrary HDL code and the compiler will use that extra structure to automatically do optimizations that cannot be done over arbitrary HDL code.
90% of the comments in the codebase on the project I work on now are links to JIRA tickets and incident reports. AI can't and won't ever do that, and those comments are absolute gold. You can immediately read a seemingly less than optimal or overly defensive snippet of code, wonder "what moron wrote this!?" and then immediately read the referenced ticket and realize that it's "overly defensive" due to a caller that abused our API and caused it to fall over.
Ah I see, so you want it improved upon to better align with what has always been available to actually be represented by the option type system, I can agree with that.

I'll be honest, I have not used it extensively, I'm used to just doing Python the old way, maybe once its been fully refined and becomes the status quo I'll dive into it. Until then, if I want types I just use a typed language.

You seem very determined to make this matter of Apple breaking existing features and accepted standards, into an issue about Google…

Again you have failed to state what relevance one set of devs not wanting to use PWAs has on anyone else who might want to use them, you've just restated your previous case that some people don't want to use them.

> Apple doesn’t care enough about PWAs because users don’t care.

As already stated in response to your previous statement about users not caring: the users shouldn't need to care if the developers are free to choose the right tool for their task (native application or PWA) and platforms implement those options well.

Apple should care about PWAs if it cares at all about providing a standards compliant environment. It certainly seems to care enough to try to derail them as a petty consequence of being told to do something they don't want to do.
Okay, but I don't want to watch businesspeople, I want to watch what this person is making/doing/writing/etc! That's the whole point!

Patreon means I can just give them dollars for doing a good job, and they don't have to go get an associates degree in marketing to realize that sponsorships are lowballing them entire magnitudes.

I consider this infinitely better to a creator selling my attention, for pennies on the dollar compared to what a company would spend for equivalent advertising from a less exploitable cadre, to companies that are morally grey at BEST, often false advertising or literal scams like Established Titles in the norm.
And the commidiziation - ten years ago was 2014 and things like GoToMeeting existed, and were "barely capable" but could share screen, audio, and if your connection was good enough, video from your grainy webcam.

But lots of people weren't using that, they were still stuck with telephony-based videoconferencing, with polycom devices in the middle of a conference table and dual ISDN lines and stuff, stuff built out in the prior decade.

And then connections and cameras got good enough that Zoom could "just work" without all the hassle of following the rules, etc.

One of the funny things about McCarthy is how he is associated with minimalism. It forces you to really think about what "minimalism" means. While his punctuation is minimal, his writing is not "short". But his writing is distilled. As the article notes, while he has less punctuation than Faulkner he has double the words per mark. How can a writer be minimal when his sentences are longer? It's easy to see when you read him: he paints an image so vividly (even when the image itself is unsure/opaque!), that you can hardly imagine adding or removing a word.

I don't think there are many cities that have suitable launch sites near them. It's unlikely they'll ever get approval to launch over populated areas, or even from most populated coastal locations.

Also, the issue of getting boosters to all of these destinations seems like a problem. Planes don't split in two and have half return to the launch site but Starships do. So you could land the upper stage in Tokyo, but then what? How do you get a booster there for the return journey?

Personally I doubt they'll even use these to bring people to orbit anytime soon. I think they're purpose built for launching massive LEO constellations.
you took the bate and missed the joke mon ami, and are now launching into unrelated screeds about slavery. you're not making things better.
I think the issue with Patreon, and a lot of similar services is that they are too focused on the "creator > consumer" relationship. I think the biggest value that a content creator is creating is acting as a beacon that people can rally behind regarding a specific niche and facilitating "consumer > consumer". Their biggest value add is as a curator. It's often difficult, especially for smaller niches to find a dedicated community around it if not for a content creator creating content and promoting it. In many cases, a content creator becomes synonymous with the niche.

I've been working on a platform called Sociables (https://www.sociables.com/) that gives content creators a place to offer their community as a part of their product offering. The difference between Patreon is it is much more focused on allowing creators to set up a place for their community to interact with each other instead of the more para-social style relationship seen on Patreon.
I got through most of this but does anyone know why McCarthy famously hated punctuation marks and only, "believed in periods, capitals, and the occasional comma"?

Everyone makes a big deal of it but is it really just preference or is the idea deeper, that like a all the meaning should be contained in the words anyway and punctuation is a shortcut?

Show HN: Oxen.ai – Data Diff tool to quickly find changes in CSV, parquet, etc.
Hey all,

We added a recently added a data diff tool to the Oxen.ai toolchain. Feel free to checkout the docs here:

https://docs.oxen.ai/concepts/diffs

If you aren’t familiar with Oxen.ai we are building dataset version control optimized for structured datasets of csvs, jsonl, parquet files, etc as well as multimodal datasets of images, audio, video, text, etc.

We wanted add a tool to the toolchain that could quickly narrow down schema changes as well as find added/removed/modified rows in data frames. The hope is that this will be a more powerful tool than a git diff when it comes to iterating on datasets. With data you are no longer scanning line by line to verify changes - but dealing with data distributions and data frames. You can pipe these diffs into any data analysis tool (pandas, polars, your custom Jupyter notebook) and quickly get to the crux of what changed.

Let us know if this type of tool would be helpful in your workflow! The github can be found here:

https://github.com/Oxen-AI/oxen-release
I have wondered what McCarthy's actual relationship to science was. The article quotes him saying, about his tenure at the Santa Fe Institute:

> "I’m here because I like science, and this is a fun place to spend time"

I would not have drawn that conclusion from reading his novels, or from his essay about The Kekulé Problem. I took The Passenger and Stella Maris to be something like a summary of where he, personally, stood at the end of his life, and they both seemed to take a more complicated stance on scientific progress. Blood Meridian did too. There are plenty of other examples; it's a theme. I don't believe you can fairly draw conclusions about what an author believes based on what they put in their books, but when a consistent trend emerges over time, it's hard to ignore it. I'm not implying that he secretly hated science, I just wonder if he didn't appreciate it in a different way than you might assume given the quote above. Maybe it's the "progress" part of scientific he was cynical about?

If you take a true assessment of all these things, you find that for lots of people the Ring doorbell is just a doorbell now, the video part is ignored; the smart home stuff is just a light switch, and the smart TV is configured enough to get to YouTube or whatever.

GET requests? Probably not. PUT/DELETE requests? I think so, yes. All updates to the bucket ultimately bottleneck at an update to the meta-version of the bucket-record-object in the object-storage-system's bucket-metadata store (itself probably something like DynamoDB / BigTable / etc.)

Given the way these IaaSs' distributed KV stores all manage writes (i.e. by having a cluster of transactor nodes that per-key write-linearization responsibility for parts of the keyspace is sharded across — such that writes are fanned out to a particular designated transactor-node given the key's hash-slot), a very large S3 user, generating an extremely high level of metadata-update concurrency against a bucket, could very likely write-contend that bucket's metadata / have a "hot" bucket-metadata key; experience low perf due to that; and solve that by sharding the bucket (swapping one too-hot metadata key for N somewhat-hot metadata keys.)

I want to give an intuition-building example here, of an IaaS feature that wouldn't exist / wouldn't be exposed to the user if not for object-storage buckets being metadata-write-contended at scale. I'm not very familiar with the AWS ecosystem, though, so I'm not sure what the good example is for AWS. What I do know is GCP, so here's a GCP example: Google Cloud Dataflow allows you to set a temporary workspace GCS bucket on a per-job basis (gcsTempLocation). And, IIRC, Google's Cloud Architects advise to not have a bunch of active Dataflow jobs sharing the same gcsTempLocation — regardless of whether they use distinct key prefixes to namespace the temp files. Given that each job would be doing a lot of little serial updates to the temp bucket — and given that Dataflow jobs can each be highly internally concurrent — you're already potentially putting out O(N^2) ~concurrent updates to that bucket. You really don't want to make it O(N^3).
