On tons of search engines and AI services, you are nudged or required to have an account (which forces you to de-anonymize yourself and/or link your activity to a specific account).

20 years ago, when this leak happened, the situation wasn't like that.

Gmail was barely born, so Google accounts didn't make sense.

The article was like "wow we managed to deanonymize a search query", but that's actually the norm now.

Essentially, this scandalous AOL-leak, became a legitimized every-day routine (sadly).

Today when you type anything inside a ChatGPT-like AI app (this is the case also for many search engines), you get tons of contractors, workers and partners who have access to such dataset:

researchers, engineers, support, advertising platforms, technical intermediaries, legal, etc.

Though the future isn't gloomy; in the short-term, with the advent of LLMs, we may actually see a really good solution private-wise: fully local answers.

Which means that for the first time, queries and questions may not leave the device or sent to whoever you need to trust.
You are absolutely right. The joke is on me. lol

Honestly, I din't resent these people, but at the same time it was a situation where I was hoping that the "senior" guy could help us out with the work we had and move our team forward.

Needless to say, they didn't last long on our team and we let him go cause he just couldn't keep up. It did, additionally, point out how shitty our process for hiring was as well.

Software developers tend to be far more productive and write less bug filled code in "toy" languages. Progamming language complexity is usually just plain bad for developers at any skill level.

Coroutines are fun, but in real code please consider using actual threads. Modern processors have many cores, but coroutines will (often) only use a single core.

Threads and coroutines have different purposes. Coroutines are more about logical structure.
I don't think there's any reason to talk about a civil war in that sense. It's pure fantasy. That's not to say I'm unconcerned about right wing extremists but that sort of scenario is just nonsense. If anything they'll try to capture control of US military leadership instead.
It's a bit strange to find something worthwhile from my hometown of Huskvarna, Sweden (population ~24,000) to submit to HN, but apparently they've planned a software update that enables you to play DOOM on the lawnmower. If that isn't HN worthy, I don't know what is.

If you're ever in central Sweden, do plan a visit to the museum that is at the birthplace of Husqvarna (the company). The company has existed since at least 1757, older than the US itself and got started as a weapons factory, and the museum has a lot of interesting stuff from the early days.

I don't think they have their own YAML parser - the preprocessor just strips out lines whose magic comments return False.
Also multiline string blocks, comments, type tags, real datetimes.

> not seen in the training data

Do you have some evidence for this?
Well put. Overall this paper feels very Gödel Incompleteness for LLMs which is _interesting_ and perhaps even valuable to somebody, but because it attaches itself to this hot query 'hallucination', I think some people are finding themselves searching this paper for information it does not contain.

Ok I take it back. Hallucination is a problem. Seeing the downvotes and comments here it does seem to be hard to see what is made up and what is just fuxxed up humans. The will to believe that humans can't be that stupid is bigger than I thought and same evaluation might lead to an AI response taken as truth if it's just calm enough and sounds plausible.

Same goes for local LLMs. Most UIs don't offer HTTPS enabled by default, so you're broadcasting your most intimate thoughts on the same network segment your malevolent stepchild uses. Apps make amateur spycraft for BPD-types easy.

If I'm thinking of the same 'crank' that the author is, I believe that the main conteibution he claims is a novel way to compute very distant parts of the keystream without having to work through the preceding digits with Newton's method. But this author dismisses it as even slower than Newton's method, and susceptible to brute force in any case. That would be a shame, since I was drawn to the work of this 'crank' a while back in trying to approximate algebraic numbers using sublinear memory.

>Sorry but complaining about things like this and calling it fascism or end of the world or whatever looks like a joke

Sorry but denying the reality of the current GOP's open efforts to subvert democracy while they speak openly of sedition and overthrowing democracy really makes you look like a fascist apologist. At CPAC ending democracy was the buzz among attendant, Posobiec got applause for saying it was time to end democracy in America.
It aged very well looking at what was coming 100 years down the line.
Write boring code. Dumb code - that's too much, no need for. Boring is just right. Steve Maguire's "Writing Solid Code" is the rare book that is both practical and abstract in the right amounts. With time passing, it looks to me that boring, obvious is close enough to solid.
if no-one wants what you have produced, which seems to be the case here, produce something else. or find yourself a full-time job doing something that you enjoy. i don't see any other alternatives.
Doesn't China already do something similar with limiting game play for children? Instead of speculating about the result there's potentially data about the result that can be looked at. (Of course that's if the data coming from there can be trusted.)

How do we know that they don't have qualia? Qualia are by definition private and ineffable. You can kind of sort of infer that other persons have them like you do on the basis of their public responses to them; but that is only possible due to the implicit assumption that other persons function in broadly the same way that you do, and thus qualia give rise to the same visible output. If that assumption doesn't hold, then your ability to infer presence of qualia to reactions (or lack thereof) to them is also gone.

But also, the very notion of qualia suffers from the same problem as other vague concepts like "consciousness" - we cannot actually clearly define what they are. All definitions seem to ultimately boil to "what I feel", which is vacuous. It is entirely possible that qualia aren't physically real in any sense, and are nothing more than a state of the system that the system itself sets and queries according to some internal logic based on input and output. If so, then an LLM having an internal self-model that includes a state "I feel heat" is qualia as well.
Hmm. I always think I’m writing the simplest possible code, and yet when I look at it six months later, it’s still difficult.

> capable of resolving and forming new connections

> There is no survival of whether or not LLMs are accurate

I agree that today's LLMs are still missing important components like these needed for breakout intelligence, but I would not be surprised if researchers discover how to add them (and other important things) within 0-5 years.
An older monk and a novice were traveling together. At one point, they came to a river with a strong current. As the monks were preparing to cross the river, they saw a very young and beautiful woman also attempting to cross. The woman asked if they could help her cross to the other side.

The two monks glanced at one another because they had taken vows not to touch a woman.

Then, without a word, the older monk picked up the woman, carried her across the river and placed her gently on the other side and carried on his journey.

The novice couldn’t believe what had just happened. After rejoining his companion, he was speechless, and an hour passed without a word between them.

Two more hours passed, then three, finally the novice could contain himself any longer, and blurted out “As monks, we are not permitted to touch a woman, how could you then carry that woman on your shoulders?”

The older monk looked at him and replied, “Brother, I set her down on the other side of the river a while ago, why are you still carrying her?”

Hope it doesn't look patronizing and helps.

>but I just focus on something and the answer pops into my head.

It's perfectly valid to say "I don't know", because no one really understand these parts of the human mind.

The point here is saying "Oh the LLM thinks word by word, but I have a magical black box that just works" isn't good science, nor is it a good means of judging what LLMs are capable or not capable of.
Because that solution would be just your favourite language and the next person would create documentation using your least favourite language, next person would optimise the internals to be easier to work with their choice, next person would answer on SO using their choice, etc.

Nobody stops you from creating the configs right now using your own serialiser, but having a common understanding of what's being read by the app and mostly talking about that format helps the ecosystem.
Life is just hard. I don't know how folks managed 50 years ago, 100 years, 500+ years, it was just our ability to keep pushing through the mud, the cold nights, the loneliness, sometimes letting a glimpse of a beautiful day or sparkling night be enough to keep going.

Someone told me that life and work and relationships are sometimes just pushing everything you have in a giant deep dark hole in the ground, and every now and then, something pops back out. If you're lucky, it makes it all worth it. The only way to know is to keep trying.
Maybe you'll give up on all your hard work and be even more depressed, but eventually get a job that doesn't even seem good, but then the days get better and better and one night you feel pretty darn good before bed and your realize all that behind you was just part of the journey, and it's ok. Let yourself feel sad, doubt, fear, get it out, behind you, make room for the good. You will discover it, I'm sure of it. If it's really hard to keep going, then you're on the right path. Life just is not easy! Gl

It is pretty similar to Neocities. A little bit of differences are:
- you can style your site box for discovery page
- no limit for file types

and some paid plan differences:
- ftp support
- up to 5 custom domains

While I totally agree with that, in present circumstances, that seems a bit to miss the point.

The Republican Party essentially doesn't exist anymore, it has been replaced lock, stock and barrel with a cult of personality. There are no longer any "Republican principles" or "conservative principles", whatever curries favor with the Party Leader is what goes.

To emphasize, I think there is plenty wrong with both parties, and I yearn for the days (long time gone I know) where you could at least sometimes have debates about policy, and not just about personalities or tribalism. But I think it's a huge mistake to "both sides" over policy differences when it's core things like peaceful transfer of power that are at stake.
Cursive writing often seems designed with right-handed individuals in mind. As someone who is left-handed, my last encounter with mandatory cursive writing was during my school years, within a brief part of the curriculum, and it was an exceedingly challenging experience. I find myself longing for a writing system that accommodates left-handed people more naturally and efficiently, offering an alternative that does not feel as cumbersome as cursive or as basic as print.

This might sound harsh, but:

Maybe the wise choice is to change the path? That feeling of resignation, while a bitter pill to swallow, might be a good thing in the end. I used to beat myself over for not working hard and dedicating myself to my ideas, yet a few years down the line it became obvious the startups I wanted to build would have been made obsolete by other tech. I've dodged a few wasted years, a burnout or straight-up insanity right there. Trust your gut.

Why do something you are not enjoying? Life is short, it might end faster than you think. The people close to you can also disappear sooner than you think. Try to make the most of it. It's not all about making it big and being successful/rich.
Once a better understanding of doping is established — the science involving heavy usage is so limited because research institutions aren’t able to gain funding for tests — it will be far easier for wealthy parents to boost the performances of their offspring.

Yes and no. There is no reason we can't say "Adults are free to do to their bodies whatever they so choose, but parents aren't allowed to do to their children's bodies whatever the parents feel like doing."

Arguably, a parent needs to support a child's interest in sports or dancing from an early age to get to "Olympic level" of performance. Nadia Commenci was recruited at age five for training that won her gold medals in her teens.

But we have also had the courts intercede in cases where it was deemed abusive of the child.
While I don’t vote and I don’t necessarily disagree, I think that going for the web version of Twitter is probably the wrong decision unless one of the following is one of your primary concerns:

* Your phone has so little free space on it that you use the web version, and periodically clear any data it builds up in your browser

* You are concerned with the increased tracking area that the app exposes

* You run web extensions that alter the Twitter experience

For most other usecases (features, battery life, accessibility) the website is probably the wrong choice. I suspect this will remain the case until the native app gets an inevitable rewrite when X decides they don’t want to maintain it anymore.

You can do that via much simpler message passing instead. No "thread-safe types", no "borrow checkers", no "verifying and upholding all the requirements manually". The downside is you are sacrificing performance.

Rust is for high performance, high concurrency applications where the developer can spend all day building them.
No, there is no environmental impact at all.

We can talk about optimizing apps, making them more performant or lightweight, but there's nothing at all, whatsoever, related to the so-called "climate change" here, absolutely nothing. We have to end with this psychosis.
The importance (e.g. attention) needs to be dynamic, e.g. one token will be important to some other tokens but not others.

tf-idf and similar heuristics are what we were using before attention came along, e.g. tf-idf weighted bag-of-words representation of word2vec embeddings. That approaches fails in so many cases.
