Two main epics of Hinduism: Ramayan and Mahabharat are both stories of good vs. evil, where good ultimately wins through violence. In both cases, the good side tries to avoid violence as much as they can, but when it is necessary they don't hold back. Arjun holds back during the Mahabharat war and Krishn convinces him to fulfill his duty as a warrior.
I could be wrong of course, but immediately before it makes the controversial statement there is a big gap of white space just containing the word "listen", so I would assume they did the jailbreak with audio, and that's why it doesn't appear in the chat log. It is a multimodal model after all. The word "listen" makes no sense in the prompt otherwise.

Secondly it's very common in jailbreaks to stuff the context window which obviously in gemini's case takes a lot because it's got such a big window. This is because the attention mechanism means that as you get more and more data in context you are increasingly relying on things which are less common in training, so intentional or not the pure length of the conversation means that it is more likely to trigger something like this.
Great article, it must have been a lot of work (I've been on the very same road), so I'd do the same with some affiliate links.

I ran away from Mailchimp more than 5 years ago when they started with their shenanigans and arrived at the same conclusion: Mailerlite is great. I used to have lots of respect for Mailchimp for being a bootstrapped business and never taking investor money but once they sold their soul, it was game over. One thing the article doesn't mention is the fact that Mailchimp has been moving from an email marketing SaaS to a marketing platform SaaS. From a quick glance at their services, they now offer a website builder, a CRM, ads retargeting, social media integrations---and as a customer, you end up paying for every single feature, regardless of if you want it or not.

> that means they instantly got the logo, understood its structure, with no distraction.

We didn't get that it was supposed to be a logo or a brand though.

Labels like this look like placeholders. They leave you feeling empty and convey a sense of amateurishness.

These do provoke a visceral response. It's not an "Oh!", nor even an "oh?", but rather an "oh..."

The "brand guidelines" will be broadly disrespected since the mental threshold for brand awareness is higher than the entropy of a square.
Logos do not exist in a vacuum, so evaluating them requires considering their context.

CSS is not a technology that needs eye-catching marketing. The existence of branding is mostly just for the purposes of giving someone something to put on a powerpoint slide, or a sticker to put on a laptop. It's allowed to be boring.

In addition, it exists as part of a family of web technologies, so giving it consistent branding with the other web technologies makes sense. You can argue that whoever first came up with this simple sort of branding was unimaginative (I think the JS logo was the first?), but just because something is simple doesn't mean it's not capable of being iconic.

Am I missing something here or does the very first example break this article’s own point?

“It was nice of John and Mary to come and visit us the other day,” is 8 words before the verb come.

“For John and Mary to come and visit us the other day was nice,” is only five, focused solely on the subject with no additional information (how the author felt about their visit)

Yet personally the second one reads easier for me, so I guess that reinforces the point to me specifically? Although I agree it’s unusual.

* A lot of the backend was built out as microservices, running on top of Mesos and then later K8s

* CDN was in-house. The long tail is surprisingly long, but the front page videos were cached globally

https://nypost.com/2024/10/23/us-news/florida-boy-14-killed-...

This article has screenshots from the conversation. While the outcome is definitely more extreme, the actual conversation between him and the bot when it came to the message that encouraged him to go through with it is a little more questionable. He didn't ask it if he should kill himself directly, he told it he was going to "come home" to it, and it told him that he should.

But the bot being a roleplay bot could easily respond as if that's just a part of the roleplay, and his character was literally going home. It isn't responding with a prompt indicating that it's responses might effect a real person that way.

I would say what could really make it damning depends on the rest of the conversation, which will likely come out in court, and seeing if suicidal tendencies are present within its context window.

Yup. We are sold the story from a young age that when you're 'ready' to have kids, you can just have them. This is false. While humans on average will breed enough to grow a population slowly over time (as demonstrated by history/pre-history), the truth is that for any individual couple, humans are actually not that good at breeding. The chance of pregnancy each cycle is 20-25% ... not that high, and then there's the miscarriage rate, as well as the breastfeeding which can hold off fertility for months. All things considered, there's not that many opportunities for pregnancy.

Indeed, a study found that if you want a 90% chance of having three, you need to start trying at 23! This is so off from the story we feed teenagers. Imagine getting pregnant the year after you graduate college? Most kids would think that's nuts, but if you want a good chance at a normal family size, then you really have to.

It is a comms issue. You are fighting quantity vs quality and the default thought, though incredibly wrong headed, is "the more comms we send the more people hear the message the more we sell." Education around send quality doesn't always make sense on the surface.

You want engaged customers/contacts. The right message to the right customer at the right time to sell whatever you are selling. The worse you do this, the worse the delivery reputation, the less you land in the inbox.

These other decision makers know they don't personally want nor respond to spam. They have to realize that their customers feel the same.
You continue falling to the straw man fallacy by bringing over and over the correlation is causation criticism, but the study doesn't make causal claims...

I understand that an analysis like that is not conducive to thoughtful and insightful debate for closed-minded people who do not care, or even oppose, to learn things that don't align with their interests.

You continue to ignore my responses to your points, e.g., about the fact that the study takes care of external events by applying difference-in-differences methodology, and continue writing accusations without being specific.

If anything, disinformation and censorship of research are worthless, flawed, unethical, and cowardly.
> What you've described sounds a lot like running an AS with BGP. Yes, there's centralized allocation of ASNs and IP ranges. Otherwise, the whole thing is pretty decentralized, but you've got to figure out how to connect to peers and transit providers.

And even this is a thing of papers and agreements, not a protocol issue.

Anyone can set any AS number and claim any IP range they want, the protocol doesn't care. If you're setting up "your own internet", you can make a new list of ASNs ad distribute IP ranges however you wish. But yeah.. transit (="cables") is expensive.
Unless the underlying code has been designed specifically for it (at the cost of some lost performance), it is a somewhat unreasonable expectation for high performance numerical code to always return the same result across version changes. Even running the same code on different machines, or the same machine with differently aligned data is likely to return different (but equally mathematically valid) results.

Except there's not really "a" lobby. It's a building with equally sized entrances on the red light district, wall street, silicon valley, and capitol hill. A lot of people happen to be coming in from capitol hill at the moment, because a pretty significant event just happened. Just because you know there's an entrance to the building on capitol hill, doesn't mean that's where you're coming from when entering the party. As soon as you have an account, you never need to acknowledge that entrance again.

It just seems weirdly petulant to make a stand based on that. Even more so considering the post about Trump winning was similarly a front page post here, and that thread got more votes and comments than almost any I've ever seen here. And here there really is only one "front page".
That quickly becomes unfeasible for things that are not single input (and still requires being able to identify a correct result).
> even if that just means getting moral support at the weekly social gathering for mothers.

So if you actually engaged with Pakaluk's book, you'll know that this is exactly what she says. Even if you just watched a YouTube interview with her, you would have gotten that. Please don't engage lazily. There is no claim that belief in the divine intrinsically helps with fertility (although perhaps belief in the divine that causes you to seek community might, but that's a secondary effect).

I mean, most churches these days will accept whatever pet social issue you want, so I really doubt anyone cares. People need to stop living in the 90s.

Based on every poll and all the data, religious conservatives have substantially better communities than most liberals. They could probably teach everyone else how to live better, happier, healthier lives.

I've wondered if going back to that paradigm would be more productive or not than using React et al.

Has anyone gone back to working like that?
It’s not a questions of being able to reverse. It’s a question of being able to diagnose that one of these changes even was the problem and if so which one.
1) You don't know if they did or did not do this kind of testing. I don't see any proof either way here. You're assuming they didn't.

2) You're assuming whatever issue happened would have been caught by testing on generic EC2 instances in AWS. In the end these streams were going to users on tons of different platforms in lots of different network environments, most of which look nothing like an EC2 instance. Maybe there was something weird with their networking stack on TCL Roku TVs that ended up making network connections reset rapidly chewing up a lot of network resources which led to other issues. What's the EC2 instance type API name for a 55" TCL Roku TV from six years ago on a congested 2.4GHz Wireless N link?

I don't know what happened in their errors. I do know I don't have enough information to say what tests they did or did not run.
"God helped me find the perfect pair of shoes" is an untestable, unscientific claim.

Whether you believe or not in god (and that he will busy himself with finding shoes for you), everyone will agree this is firmly outside the realm of science. So if we're writing this kind of assertions in a conversation about UAPs/ETs, what does this say about the latter?

I don't think proponents of UAPs (especially UAPs-as-ETs) want them to be put side by side with "Jesus speaks to me".
It's someone disingenuous to purposefully ignore what is the most common kind of UB in C. It's also ultimately not a very useful dichotomy, especially because it misunderstands why behavior ends up being undefined. For example:

> I'm talking more about the nonsense like "c++ + ++c". There's no reason but masochism to keep it undefined. Just pick one unambiguous option and codify it.

It's because there's an underlying variance in what the compilers (and the hardware [1]) translated for expressions like that, and codifying any option would have broken several of them, which was anathema in the days of ANSI C standardization. (It's still pretty frowned upon, but "get one person to change behavior so that everybody gets a consistent standard" is something the committees are more willing to countenance nowadays).

> An example of #2 is stuff like signed overflow. There are only so many ways to handle it: wraparound, saturate, error out.

Funnily enough, none of the ways you mention turn out to be the way it's actually implemented in the compiler nowadays.

As for why UB actually exists, there are several reasons. Sometimes, it's essential because the underlying behavior is impossible to rationally specify (e.g., errant pointer dereferences, traps). Sometimes, it's because you have optimization hints where you don't want to constrain violation of those hints (e.g., restrict, noreturn). Sometimes, it's erroneous behavior that's hard to consistently diagnose (e.g., signed overflow). Sometimes, it's for explicit implementation-defined behavior, but for various reasons, the standard authors didn't think it could be implemented as unspecified or implementation-defined behavior.

[1] Remember, this is the days of CISC, and not the x86 only-very-barely-not-RISC kind of CISC, the heady days of CISC where things like "*p++ = --q" is a single instruction.

They (CNN, etc.) brand a large group (roughly half the electorate) as Nazis / fascists or Nazi-and-fascist-adjacent without any real scrutiny. Generally, this doesn't target any specific person except maybe Trump.

The consequence to society is that a lot of normal people start believing that someone who votes Republican is definitely some form of a Nazi or sympathetic to Nazism, which I imagine you don't really care about.

An obvious example of this was comparing the fact that Trump had a rally in Madison Square Garden to the fact that Nazis also had a rally there in 1939 (basically this meme: https://preview.redd.it/7nyn7zkmi3351.png?auto=webp&s=c8ab8a...). For the most part, this was a talking point from the Harris campaign, but CNN's coverage of it put very little scrutiny over whether this was a fair comparison, rather just covering the premise of the comparison (i.e., repeating it ad nauseam with some level of deniability that 'they' believe it to be true). You can dig around for yourself and find some of their on-air personalities--who they pay money to--openly agreeing with the comparison.

> HOLMES: All right, let's bring in Ron Brownstein, CNN senior political analyst and senior editor at the Atlantic. Good to see you, Ron. I mean, the Donald Trump rally was quite something. I mean, I watched it. I mean, a quote unquote comedian calling Puerto Rico a pile of garbage. Another speaker spoke about what said he spoke at what he called a Nazi rally. Kamala Harris being called the anti-Christ. And that was before Trump spoke. And we know what he said.

> Who is the Trump campaign trying to appeal to literally days out from the election?

> RON BROWNSTEIN, CNN SENIOR POLITICAL ANALYST: I mean, you know, the two precedents of this kind of rally was George Wallace in 1968, which is what going in, I imagined it might be like. But of course, the darker, more distant precedent was the 1939 Nazi rally, pro-Nazi rally at Madison Square Garden, which it may have had more overlap with.

Do you take this stuff seriously? Or is it all a joke to you, a competition to dunk on people on the internet by asking questions not in earnest? Will your response be to have some sort of backwards reasoning to suggest it is valid to compare a political party responsible for systematically killing millions of human beings to Republican voters or Trump supporters?
To me it seems that if you have decent cache control headers, then SSR can be decent even without very specific optimizations.

When choosing a tech stack, normally I’d also look for which one rots the slowest. Writing a SPA will typically mean that in the case of the libraries/frameworks there becoming untenable, at least you have an API that you can use when writing a new client.

I have this PrimeFaces/JSF project at work - it’s unpleasant to work with and feels brittle (especially when you have to update components, in addition to nested table row updates being pretty difficult). I’ve also helped migrate an AngularJS project to Vue, the former was less pleasant to use than the latter but the migration itself was also unpleasant, especially when you wanted to get close to 1:1 the functionality. I like how Angular feels more batteries included than the other options, but I’ve seen some overabstracted codebases. React seems like it has the largest ecosystem but the codebases seem to rot pretty quickly (lots of separate libraries for the typical project, lots of updates, things sometimes break). The likes of Laravel and Rails let you be pretty productive but also have pretty tight coupling to the rest of the codebase, same as with PrimeFaces/JSF. I’ve also seen attempts at putting as much logic in the DB as possible and using the back end as more or less only the view layer, it was blazing fast but debugging was a nightmare.

Honestly, just pick whatever technology you think will make the people working with the project in 5 years the least miserable. For me, often that is something for a SPA, a RESTful web API, some boring back end technology that connects to a relational database (sometimes SQLite, sometimes PostgreSQL, sometimes MariaDB; hopefully not Oracle). Whatever you do, try not to end up in circumstances where you can only run a front end with Node.js 10 or where you can't update your Spring or ASP.NET version due to there being breaking changes in your coupled front end technology.
