The recent DEFCON talk for the referenced paper https://www.youtube.com/live/pleLhJRW9Fw The risks in LLM powered systems seems like an opened pandora's box the more I look into mi…

I totally agree with the sentiments in the video that the current state of agent architectures feels not there yet and we need an interoperable composable standard.

In my own experiments I have had major failures where much of the text is fabricated by the LLM to the point where I just find it hard to trust even with great prompt engineering. …

My brain must be warped by using LLMs because I could not help but think that it would be an amazing prompt, complete with multiple examples of each principal. Perhaps good prompti…

Logical yet, how overvalued did Tesla get?

To the contrary does it not imply any well organized group should have an easier time of accomplishing their aims while the rest are mired in the chaos?

You think the waste is high in tech saving a few mill here and there with db settings an ec2 optimizations? Imagine all the low sophistication marketing managers and CDOs, CMOS lit…

Found code for it https://github.com/microsoft/DiskANN

This popped up in the new feed yesterday and seems significant in the ANN space https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38054537

This looks to be a big deal for vector database hosting costs. The pattern of moving away from hot ram towards algorithms that efficiently leverage ssd storage is a winner every ti…

A thought, write a very constrained sane rendering/layout engine as a compile target for an llm to convert html/css to rather than support all css or any of it for that matter. Cou…

I picked up the Tao Te Ching in middle school and would reread it frequently. The personal insights would evolve as I grew up and faced different issues in my life. I found an abid…

“Consistent with the First Amendment, the Nation’s answer is tolerance, not coercion. The First Amendment envisions the United States as a rich and complex place where all persons …

Part of the challenge of firehoses of links or hilights being less valuable to others, is that they are the residue of an particular persons thought process and that thought proces…

I always say it is non-trivial to achieve a meeting of the minds. We often act adversarially to new ideas to challenge them as they in turn challenge our conceptions. Often this lo…

Wow this is the best content I have seen on prompt engineering, it feels much more like computer science than the usual prompt engineering recipes. This formalism of analytic augme…

YES! "Science is ultimately cultural and there's no way around that." I think that many people recoil at this idea and just don't want to believe this, but it is the truth. To thos…

It's waaay worse than that. My understanding of the point of incommensurability is not the obvious morality is different from science but it goes back to Kuhn in the Structure of S…

Yup

And what if when it is government branding the undesirables? Only a problem when you disagree? But of course all the sane people agree with the ministry of truth and decency. Perso…
