Can anyone tl/dr this? Does this mean that its possible for a maliciously crafted LLM to execute arbitrary code via an exploit in llama.cpp?

#52prodigies are amazing, but I often wonder what they end up doing later in life when the intelligence gap between them and their peers converges to zero.
If they're lucky, the gap converges to zero because they surround themselves with more and more intelligent people as time passes. That's a recipe for success.
If they're unlucky, the gap converges to zero because they get used to not having to do much work, "fail upwards" because of the raw intelligence, and then can't keep up when surrounded by similarly intelligent people who actually do the work.
Failing at something you were told you were extremely good at, and hence based your entire identity around, is extremely difficult and demoralizing. Some people can never really recover from that, and AFAIK depression / suicide isn't unheard of.
Definitely not a problem for this particular kid though, "lack of hard work" and "coasting" is evidently not what this person is about.
THe middle scenario is kids that do the work, but stay in their community for economic / political / class / "born in the wrong place" reasons. Their talents are mostly squandered, but they might end up doing something very significant for the communities they're part of.
This used to be extremely common, a medieval peasant or ancient slave would most likely stay in their village, regardless of how much of a genius they were. The modern world made it much less so, and that's something worth celebrating.

#53Earlier quoted context omitted.
If your later work overshadows your earlier, you're not generally remembered as a prodigy.
It's just that I don't any example of an adult genius who used to be a prodigy. The most obvious counter example was Einstein.
"Prodigy" and "genius" both lack rigorous definitions, so your problem might simply be one of cherry picking. Going with my own gut on each definition, here are a few examples to add to those already provided by sibling comments:
* Magnus Carlsen (chess grandmaster by 14, world champion for 10 years as an adult)
* Frédéric Chopin (concert pianist at 7, one of the top composers for piano)
* Blaise Pascal (rediscovered Euclid on his own at 12 with no training, went on to become one of the most famous mathematicians of all time).
* John van Neumann (could divide two 8-digit numbers in his head at age 6, learned calculus by 8, went on to be a founding figure in computer science).
Shall I go on, or is this enough?

Agreed, you put it well. It's really hard to develop a work ethic or learn how to study properly so late.
You lack all the foundational habits and are just used things working out naturally. There are zero consequences, only positive outcomes despite doing the bare minimum. And then it all goes to shit.

Thanks for adding value today.

#56sheesh. the visual aesthetics and script behavior on your blog are so tastefully executed. great job!
I'd honestly love to know what framework, theme, or stack is being used here! Looks incredible--great job!
Hi! I am the developer of Retr0's portfolio. I used nextjs for the framework, with framer motion + gsap for animation. The blog is powered by hashnode headless api with serverside rendering.

> but not as much as he is How could you possibly know this?
Based on all the work he has done, and knowing that this is some hard work. It doesn't come from one hour of computers a day.
We used to create tons of things with consistent 1-2 hour/day screen time when we were 15. It boils down to momentum.
If you can spend one concentrated hour a day, you can create tons of things, incl. that level of research.
