No current ability to track trunked radio units, though arguably thats 'just a software problem'. I have one and have found it to be quite easy to hunt down ham repeaters that you can get to transmit more or less non-stop... but r

With an anonymous credential. Imagine you have a private key whose public key is signed by a trusted issuer if and only if you're an adult. Now you use this to get an account. What if you share your private key? Well you can only have

The ID could be site unique. So for example, your ID card could have [Name, Pubkey, DOB] signed by the issuer, where pubkey is a pubkey for the ID card holder that supports unique signatures. The card has contains the private key and can

Base models are less boring, a lot less-- so I think it's less a product of most likely prediction, I think it's more of a product of reinforcement which biases towards text that uses a lot of words but says little, since saying n

I don't think _deficit_ is at all a useful metric about the appropriate level of spending by the federal government-- Outside of emergencies deficit is merely a measure of gross financial incompetence in our elected officials.

Or don't even mention it at all-- it's just got a fish detection filter. At least people trying to see if they can get around a fish detector are going to preferentially submit toilets and tires (and dicks, sure). :)

A government regulated quasi monopoly national conglomerate providing an off the shelf product and a small business providing custom work to-spec aren't the same thing.

FY2024 federal spend 6.75 trillion. FY2019 was 4.4 trillion. FY2009 was 3.1 trillion. Twice the growth in half the time. Was there so much more that private industry "will not fill" in 2024 vs 2009? How about vs 1999? (1.7 trill

Take care because intentionally pushing the LLM out of distribution tends to produce more unhinged results. If you find your students dropping out to become one with "recursion" don't say no one warned you! :P

The gross sycophancy and bullshit flattery is a protective coloration like red berries. It's telling you that the output is poison.

Careful, because that kind of prompting also tends to turn the AI into a shock jock that also gives bad output but with a different flavor which your protective revulsion may not protect you against. A favorite example I saw was after someo

Unfortunately people in the thrall of an LLM will tend to use the LLM itself as the checking device. They'll ask it what they could have missed, ask it if those things exclude the theory, etc... and the LLM will just blow smoke up the

Your prompt just tells the LLM to be a shock jock. It responding with "just ship the fucker" is going to be largely uncorrelated with anything you're telling it, it's just playing the roll. Probably the worst part of LL

A true autopilot is a system on a boat or aircraft that keeps it on a set heading. ISTM in this case that's what the autopilot did.
