    You have to steer it back with "No I'm a dog"

    To be pedantic, these types of prompts work best when in first-person/roleplaying. So the "perfect" prompt here would be something like, "I'm a dog and I just ate 20 grams of salte…

    It's way better than the Google MD problem that previously existed. I had Claude analyze a blood panel and provide potential diagnoses, medications, dosing and contraindications fo…

    As part of a previous job I needed to audit internal AI usage from a largely non-technical employee population. The prompts were, predictably, really bad. Broken English, sentence …

    Remember in 2023 when people thought "prompt engineering" would be the new software engineering and invested tons of time into learning CoT, ReAct, thread-of-thoughts, etc? Those w…

    The globalists had no problem selling out our manufacturing to China, now they are crying because China can provide a cheaper service. The globalists of old would happily hand AI d…

    US banks would be prohibited from processing payments for those model providers, and those model providers would update their EULAs to prohibit American-usage. Look at how online p…

    Zitron thinks capex is a liability that needs to be paid off in a year instead of a long-standing asset. Similarly he thinks that an investment into an AI startup is also a loan th…

    The Lambda-SQS poller will slow down in response to the lambda's error rate for this exact reason. Note that this can cause issues: say you have a time sensitive application that r…

    These jingoistic platitudes are getting so heavy-handed that I legitimately can't tell if this is satire.

    You're confusing the discussion by trying to force the "leader" terminology. That term does not appear in the BTC whitepaper and the protocol's approach to consensus is different t…

    There can be honesty even if they are playing it safe: Just state plainly that the data is inconclusive, things are moving quickly and this is the best estimation they currently ha…

    Ancient Rome had no shortage of outrageous decadence and constantly struggled with class warfare, slave uprisings and the political necessity of winning the hearts of the "people"

    Lambda does provide a level of convenience via abstraction that EC2 doesn't: just provide inline code, an S3 hosted zip file or, recently, an ECR image and it's off and running. I …

    I can't think of any reason outside of product positioning. A lot of the novelty of Lambda is its identity as a function: small units of execution run on-demand. A Lambda that can …

    My own comments (many of which I don't remember making, it's possible my account was temporarily compromised) shouldn't have any bearing on the offensive remarks made by others.

    It's a sexist term that degrades the countless amounts of female Bitcoin investors as well as those who identify as trans or POC. I'm surprised it's allowed on HN.

    This is the only commenter in this post mentioning Cardano, so I wouldn't characterize it as a trend. Don't worry, HN comment sections will be filled with indignant nocoiners for y…
