Two problems. First, it is remarkably difficult to come up with a set of programs that it is safe to let the restricted user use. Second, it is remarkably difficult to make the restricted environment useful enough if you're really se

In two generations North Koreans will be able to walk over to South Korea and admire the ruins. The SK army will be non-existent at that point. Of course I am referring to SK's .7 TFR.

On the other hand I know how to tell if the underlying idea is good, and if it is I can decide to put up with reading through LLM outputs.

I almost always write my own prose, and when I have an LLM write me prose I edit it to make it my own, in my own style, and pithier than the LLM would make it. I'm not saying everyone must do that. For me it's partly a point of p

That irony is delicious. Build to WIN32 APIs to ship on Linux.

Exactly. I think you're doing fine. It's weird that you're using C++ here, since that brings in a lot of crap, but then your programs are probably C++ anyway, so it's not a problem. Honestly I'm impressed by this

Perhaps Flock would say that since they were denying the journalist a pass, they should also deny them the room block discount. The hotel could just charge the journalist the difference rather than cancel their room though.

Arguably humans need clothing and food a lot more than we need AI.

I also see the same, and I suspect it is due to the lack of a precomposition for n̈.

Can you fill us in on this history? My understanding is that decompositions for Latin scripts was just natural typewriter-style constructions, while precompositions for Latin scripts was also natural to simplify table-driven transcoding

Consider ZK password proof protocol: at enrollment (password set / change) the server -or a third party it trusts- knows the password and computes a verifier, while at login time the server uses the verifier to validate that the client

n̈ renders fine on my browser, but there is no compose-key sequence for it on my system. I suspect the reason it renders fine is that 'n' in the font I'm using is small enough that the combining mark can be rendered by "

If they are dying of hunger then the most likely cause is overfishing, far far ahead of climate change.

I'd rather `intmax_t` be deprecated and marked for removal. It was a terrible mistake.

Encrypted state cookies solve real problems (server-side storage, latency, scaling) and are not the problem. The problem is insufficient binding of some of a session's encrypted state cookies and others -- insufficient binding of some

by cryptonector 2mo ago
A bit shocking. One would think that the encrypted reasoning traces -really, encrypted state cookies- would be bound to the session or user, not just the AI provider. That obviously is the fix.

Yes, of course, the tail-calling function must recognize that its continuation is a trampoline closure, pop it, then push either a new trampoline or the original closure (if no trampoline would be needed for the particular tail-call being p
88.
by cryptonector 2mo ago
In particular it's that if you return the result of a function call, then it's a tail call. For example, in `return f() + g();` neither the call to f() nor the call to g() are tail calls because they return into an expression (`+

by cryptonector 2mo ago
The trampoline must indeed be a closure, but let's say you have a chain of main() calling f() tail-calling g() tail-calling... in all cases needing a trampoline, and some being [mutually, even] recursive, and even variadic: there is on

I would expect a way to interrupt super-long-running instructions would be the better option, even if it was not fully backwards-compatible (say your process executing long-running instructions gets killed).
