As one of the TVL folks, we aim for cache compatibility (i.e. output path equality), so the NixOS cache itself is highly relevant to us, too. Would we choose to host it on S3? Probably not, but that's where it is right now and we have

Yes, but the way that would work is that somehow this should bubble through the security org to someone in Cloud Sales, who can then look in Salesforce who the relevant internal sales contacts (i.e. the people from Google that the affected

The "quality" of the wrong information you get from GPT-4 is very different from a human who is wrong. For example, I wouldn't expect a human to give me a long list of books that don't actually exist without hesitation.

For cases where you get "new" information from it, what's your verification process to guard against hallucinations?
283.
by tazjin 3y ago
Totally. GPT-4 can already do this, untuned, on niche languages and libraries. One of the main problems is still that you don't know when it's hallucinating a function or whatever though.

The product is essentially something like a very slow, "low-code" programming framework/UI builder. You get a huge variety of quality in Salesforce implementations, ranging from bad to extremely terrible.

No, support for a war is anything that prolongs the war, no matter which side you're arming. You're essentially saying "it's not support for the war if I'm (perceiving I am) making sure my team wins". I'
