Doesn't the command-line utility `jq` already define a protocol for this? How do the syntaxes compare? (LLMs are already very adept at using `jq` so I would think it was preferable to be able to prompt a system that implements querying

Yeah, so now you're basically running a heavy instance in order to get the network throughput and the RAM, but not really using that much CPU when you could probably handle the encode with the available headroom. Although the article l

Don't get me wrong, I am super excited about what AI is doing for technology. But this endless conversation about "what is AGI" is so boring. It makes me think of every single public discussion that's ever been had about

"Kill the tokenizer" is such a wild proposition but is also founded in fundamentals. Tokenizing text is such a hack even though it works pretty well. The state-of-the-art comes out of the gate with an approximation for quantifying

Sure, you can simplify these observations into just codegen. But the real observation is not that these models are more susceptible to fail when generating code, but that they are more susceptible to jailbreak-type attacks that most people

Smells like a phishing attack to me. Receive an email that says AWS is experiencing an outage. Log into your console to view the status, authenticate through a malicious wrapper, and compromise your account security.

What channels are still active? I connected to freenode for the first time in years a few months ago and it was a ghost town. Would love to get back into some programming/tech communities on IRC.

This style of prompting, where you set up a dire scenario in order to try to evoke some "emotional" response from the agent, is already dated. At some point, putting words like IMPORTANT in all uppercase had some measurable impact
