Sounds like you need to move up maslow's hierarchy of needs and focus more on self actualization (or whatever if upwards for you) ... because your posts are full of negativity and you sound miserable.

So financially incentivise the airline to make their processes unclear so the customer accidentally spends a bunch more? Sounds like that would cause more rage.

How do you prove that “they will not get compromised” when a breach can be caused by an unknown CVE in the future? That seems impossible to prove, I mean I understand you can patch, audit, encrypt, your way to a safer system, but proof (by

Sometimes its about getting out of your comfort zone. Comfort breeds complacency, and just the right amount of pain can be part of growth. Too many people seek only comfort and that makes them numb, fat, stupid and weak. Every day or two I

Of course it is, that’s domain knowledge. How would it know about things that it’s never been exposed to?! Novel compositions of existing knowledge is totally different to novel sensory input.

Predicting the set of words that constitutes a helpful response when given a friendly question is still valid in the world of stochastic parrots. Reducing it's actions to "just predicting the next word" does a disservice to w

I’m not sure it has the self reflection capability to understand the difference between knowing and not knowing, but I would love some evidence to show this. The only thing I can think of is that it appears to be capable of symbolic manipu

Yeah and also - we are effectively teaching AI how to be really good at lying to us. What could go wrong?!

I theorise that since ChatGPT was trained on the internet, lots of its training data would include Q&A forums like Stack Overflow. Perhaps it has learned by observation that friendly questions get helpful answers

Generating the embeddings is by far the slowest part of that, but it’s embarrassingly parallel so if you have $ it can be done that quick. When I worked for Dubai airport, I was tasked with building a vector similarity search that was highl

OK, I can only speak to my personal projects and 20+ years experience at work. We run all of our stateful and stateless workloads on 10+ kubernetes clusters at work in multiple datacenters in multiple continents, and we serve 500 million us

Anybody can invent random problems ad nauseam - that doesn’t prove anything. I’m not claiming that it’s totally bullet proof, I never said that - I’m saying that if you had a kubernetes cluster anyway why not benefit from its abilities? Esp

Except kubernetes has a whole storage provisioning system that gives you redundancy and automatic failover, if you’re going to the trouble of running kubernetes why not just run your whole infra on it? I run https://atomictessell

This is what I was wondering, in the article it looks like kubernetes is just used to launch the node containers - why is the database and rabbitmq outside of kubernetes? This architecture looks like it’s been cobbled together by a junior

Drop a cookie in their browser and 2FA them if the cookie is not present. It's much less likely the attacker will have the users credentials AND cookies, so this raises the bar for the attacker without annoying the user too much.

I completely disagree. It's important to teach them to time-box and have the self discipline to try and control these things - but participation in the social structures of peers and society during the formative adult years is crucial

I don’t know for sure but I can guess why it would be worse for teens. During your teenage years there’s a lot more FOMO as you are trying to establish yourself in your peer group and the social hierarchy in general. This must-check-that-no

I get what you're saying about 10 lines of well-tested vs 10,000 lines of crud, but this hyperbole is also a false dichotomy. GPT-4 and Copilot absolutly makes me more productive as a programmer, wiring all the tests, getting maybe 80%
