Ironic. Every time a company measures its employee output with number of lines of code or commits, devs are the first to point out that management is dumb for using a surface-level…

What's stopping someone from placing the silicon under ab electron microscope and reading the data visually? I mean, the circuit that encrypts data has to have some way to load the…

That's concerning. Could you elaborate on how you identified the traffic as cloudflare workers? Also, what sorts of HTTP attacks? wp-admin probes? Plain DDoS? Cloudflare has (had?)…

While OP's reply answers your question, it's important to not apply current costs to predict the future of AI. Hardware for LLMs is one step function away from unimaginable capabil…

Sure, in which case the real prompt is as useless as a hallucinated one, so what's the difference?

Why is everyone so confused about this? Isn't verifying the easy part? You put it into the GPT-3.5/4 API as a system prompt and see it answers like the actual chatbot. If it does, …

It's far easier to do productive, useful things with AI if you just treat it as a tool, like a chainsaw or a pulley. Everyone agrees there's a lot of hype right now but no one thin…

Yes, it's called Psilocybin

Sure! https://pastebin.com/xm7D1c30 I didn't bother cleaning it so it's just a code dump, but it's fairly straightforward. Not included are a Python script to parse and clean the r…

Unless you have several hundred million documents, just write a simple encoder that serializes the embedding vectors to a flat binary file. Writing code from scratch to process and…

You could apply the same logic to anyone ringing the alarm bells about climate change (or alarm bells in general). Just because snake oil is usually unfalsifiable doesn't mean ever…

I know, did I say otherwise anywhere?

No, water is most dense at 4°C. If you take water at 2°C and increase its temperature by a degree, it will _compress_, not expand. But if you take water at 10°C and heat it by a de…

I have two related questions: 1. Global temperature is rising. Any water that used to be above 4°C (or the equivalent for salt water) now takes more volume. But what about water th…
