Possibly there's a way to do that. Right now, LLMs aren't architected that way. And no, ChatGPT doesn't do that. The system prompt comes first, hidden from the user and preceding the user input but in the same stream, and the

Wow. The "offense" of calling a site that uses the domain "twitter.com" Twitter is just as bad as refusing to call a person by their preferred name? This is "an eye for an eye"?

The more interesting security issue, to me, is the LLM analog to cross-site scripting attacks that Simon Willison has written so much about. If we have an LLM based tool that can process text that might come from anywhere and email a summar

Yes, we burned the biscuits when my sister-in-law was visiting over Thanksgiving because she used the Google assistant to set an alarm and the alarm did not go off. Timers no longer work and there's no indication that this is the case.

Legally, X management can do whatever they please, because it isn't illegal to be jerks. No one is disputing that. But if sites use the power to do this in an abusive way, people should know about it, and adjust their expectations abou

Your argument might apply if the owner of the site formerly known as Twitter respected the concept of calling people by their preferred names, but he doesn't, not even in the case of his own child. So, nice try.

Elon has stolen active accounts and handed them to others, and is purging inactive accounts, so keeping an inactive account is limited protection: https://www.fastcompany.com/90933866/elon-musk-x-stealing-mo...

Yes, governments can require interoperability and can limit monopolies. That's how antitrust laws work, like it or not. But if you want to get all libertarian, why should companies be able to use government power (as in courts, DMCA an

Yes, if there's no restriction the problem becomes a system of linear equations. If there's a limit, it's not linear and order matters.

If you can go negative, it seems you've turned the problem into a Diophantine equation, the order of trades doesn't matter, you're just asking if we can get from the start state to the end state by using each possible trade a

I think the GP was asking for more detail than that. We have a dimension n. We have a set of vectors, each with n integer components. In the fruit-trading problem these represent legal trades. We have a starting state, with n non-negative i

My wife has a hyphen in her legal name. This is beyond the ability of most sites and companies to deal with and causes them to fail in random ways.

I've been hiking in Big Basin for about 30 years now, and have been there since the fire. To use your language "the forest in its rebuilding phase" but it will take a long time. The CZU damage was on a whole other scale from

by not2b 3y ago
Big Basin is recovering, but it is a long way from recovery. If there aren't any fires as severe as the CZU fire for many years it will recover. But if intense fires become more frequent, that's far less clear. The regrowth you se

The (US) National Park Service disagrees with you, so much so that in some places they hire native elders to help them with controlled burns. They call the practices "cultural burning". They were done for many purposes, over mille

The way to impose discipline effectively is to have automated checks. Like -Werror, and additional "lint"-style checks to make sure that coding guidelnes are followed. Non-shitty teams automate as much of the flow as possible, to

by not2b 3y ago
Turning on -Werror means that once the warnings are eliminated, they stay eliminated, and a developer who adds code that produces a warning has their checkin rejected. If it isn't used the number of warnings will just grow and grow. Yo

Interesting. I didn't realize that the Air Force security analysis of Multics in the 1970s contained a description of what we call the Thompson attack (have the compiler insert a back door, and because the compiler for the language is

Six patients is a long way from persuasive evidence, because with so few patients randomness is going to be a large factor. And it appears that the six were chosen from the set of patients that doctors were having trouble diagnosing, which

You seem to be assuming, without any evidence at all, that LLMs giving medical advice are likely to be roughly equivalent in accuracy to doctors who are actually examining the patient and not just processing language, just because you are a

It seems hopelessly confused, because there are no open source models, only some that allow free redistribution of the model weights. Perhaps they should be called "open" and the word "source" should be dropped.

That isn't what is meant by "side effect" here. A function with no side effects only modifies its local variables and returns a result. So, if we have int foo(int a, int b) { int c = bar(a); return b; } and we can see bar

But if we pass in an odd value that is more than half of the maximum value represented in a usize, we get an overflow and a panic when we make a recursive call with n * 3 + 1, right? We shouldn't be optimizing those away.

Can you point to a specific provision of a specific trade agreement that this violates? Or explain why the US government should try to break a strike in a different country to bail out Musk? Swedish labor unions are in all likelihood going

There are sites that make Stable Diffusion-derived models available, along with GPU resources, and they sell the service of generating images from the models. The company isn't permitting that use, and it seems that they could find vio

Perhaps HN could encourage people to post nitter.net links, so those of us who refuse to be on Twitter or who deleted our accounts can follow along.

Brooks wrote that it was quadratic, so that seems to be an error in the summary.
