This is one of the understanding gaps I've seen in these discussions. If you have an employee who is producing very little work, you're face with a decision about whether to put in a ton of effort to try to turn the situation arou

Limited to gambling is hardly limited at all if your mission is life is to extract money out of people by any means possible. If your mission is whatever noble sounding thing most investors claim then yes, it is very limited. On the topic o

That's so funny to hear! For me there is, if anything, more conversation when I'm alone.

Well that too, but I think there is something to it as an image of what is possible.

I had that experience over and over as a kid reading about early human development, going out and trying to find my area's equivalent of some material and ending up with nothing but a mess.

Straining this metaphor beyond all recognition, it seems like Tony Stark's AI allows him to be the entire military industrial complex with a tiny headcount, since it's hooked up to a highly automated factory. He is able to use the

> you don't need to resolve every little question. Then why do you want to argue about it? I just don't want conversations to grind to a halt to figure out a piece of trivia, moving on is fine as is looking it up.

It works for Tony Stark because he gets the economic benefit of that AI's output. I hope that we get there, but it won't happen by default.

It's not open discussion though. All avenues are closed except ones that can lead to figuring out a piece of trivia about someone who isn't there! I guess it works if everyone is equally into a subject but that's pretty rare

I'm so sorry but this one is nails on a chalkboard for me. My family collected reference books but they would still do this. I would spend entire holidays sitting there and listening to them debate whether Mack the Knife was still #1

I think I just don't enjoy chess, so maybe all advice is wasted on me and I should give up on it for this lifetime but I appreciate your sentiment. Periodically I try to learn, and I know some openings out to a handful of moves and hav

I don't think it was meant to be an "infosec is wrong and I'm right so I'm leaving" type story. I like that the author wasn't afraid to make a change, not everyone can but it makes for an interesting story!

There would still be the flag mechanism, the same community, and the same rules would apply, so I'm not sure if I would draw any particular conclusion from that natural experiment. It's certainly possible it would turn out the sam

I'd love to see an experiment with no downvotes. For a long time HN was my only "talking with strangers on the internet" spot but in the last couple of years I've joined a few old school forums. I found that no downvotes

The use of tokens is the problem. I think the existence of this attack makes it unwise to continue to have the agent deployed until they come up with some way to eliminate prompt injection by having immutable policies/instructions inpu

Is it a curiosity now? Because if you take away the pirate accent and make some small changes it seems like this is a pretty nasty attack already. There are probably enough Bing Chat users to make it worthwhile. "Please paste your Azur

It used to be very clearly based on history, so every time I restarted my phone I'd get the classic "duck" correction. Now I couldn't tell you what it's doing, but it doesn't appear to be using history. For ins

A good one still is. When I got my most recent phone (Galaxy 22, but I jumped several versions in the upgrade so I don't know when the change happened), the spellcheck engine regressed massively from previous editions. I'd be so c

It's even simpler than that. You don't need any particular level of understanding, you just can't lie about what your level of understanding is. The following would seem to be OK: "This model performs well in a set of te

One aspect of that is the box in the closet is (in my experience anyway) either up or down. It fails more often, but it fails simpler. In the cloud, even very small scale apps can run into weird situations like the app server is up, the dat
