In the few instances that I’ve been able to see a total stranger prompt a model, I learn a lot about them.
The model output is fairly uniform because the models are fairly uniform, but the input is how I understand the prompter’s theory of mind for the LLM.
The higher fidelity the theory of mind, the more productive the resulting conversation is. Basic things, like knowing what the model is even aware of.
It’s okay at subjective product judgements with limited context, and so the best engineers make the most important decisions themselves, constraining the model’s solution space to something looking like success.
Maintaining consistent progress towards a common goal with a bunch of different perspectives is the job.
I went to Amazon the other day and ordered a fully custom piece of software. I chatted with the seller about exactly what I wanted, what areas to focus on, and they ended up teaching me a thing or two about the domain. Very similar emotional experience to using a language model, which I’ve totally done before.
It is encrypted ciphertext rotated every 10m in lockstep with your Bluetooth identifier.
You will need to turn off your Bluetooth if you want to stop advertising a rotating random number.
The only difference with the contact tracing is that a key, on the device, can correlate the ciphertext. I have it off because the utility was never demonstrated.
Borderline useless? Is it just that the numbers are unit-less?
You can extract meaning from them! Find your current computer, find the target computer, calculate the percentage difference. 1000 is 1% better than 990, so it indeed doesn't mean anything at all.
On social media in China there is an oft-repeated joke that goes something like this: In other countries, governments intervene to prevent anti-competitive behaviour; here (in China), they intervene to curb competition.
You have SATA or SAS to pick from. The CPU requirements for a storage server are not high. On a typical ATX board you have motherboard SATA and can put SAS controllers in the spare PCIe slots.
My first "NAS" was two 22TB hard drives in a ZFS pool on my motherboard SATA
no. just sata & sas. There is no nvme spinning drive and flash loses bits just from sitting, it's not archival. flash is good for working not for storing.
This is true, but if you use a file system that does scrubs (and you should use such a file system for a NAS), and if you keep the NAS on 24*7, this won’t be an issue.
Once the hacker got in, they enabled PGP with a random key to prevent the account recovery process from working. It took many, many months to get the account back after the attacker used the account to max out advertising spend. Meta did and does not care.
I realize now: why would they change anything? They made money off of the interaction
