Hi HN, I’m working on an open-source simulation platform called InfraSim. It lets users create companies, build out simulated infrastructure (servers, APIs, networking, blockchains), and then red-team them through fault injection and scenar

I guess a good example is things like the physical characteristics of a line drawn by the stroke of a paint brush. You can often see they all align generally in the same direction, and have a sort of "fingerprint"

I mean depending on which side of the brain the tumour is, it could be relevant. Don't quote me on this (I'm not a doctor) but the right hemisphere controls the left side of the body (including left hand) and the left controls the

I mean it happens every day. When people have a lot to lose and not much left to gain, they tend to roll over a lot more easily. As far as what would motivate him: look at what's happening to Musk right now as an example. I'm not

Continuing government contracts, expectation of favours in return, they almost certainly hold some dirt on him (and many others).

And payment processors can also identify these. And most of them you have to purchase with a minimum amount on ($10 or $20 afaik). Virtual debit cards however are interesting. My bank lets me set up as many of those as I like and I don&#x27

There's no such thing as "one correct answer" to most tasks in any language. In mathematics, maybe. If you're asking it to recall a specific quote verbatim, yeah. But other than that there are many (infinite?) different

Just because its 2 things you'd otherwise accept doesn't mean it isn't a dark pattern. Lots of dark patterns (like the setting up of privacy / data sharing settings on google) do similar things.

With 96gb of VRAM, will you really need to? Personally I think apple servers might be adopted for AI and LLM workloads soon.

The last time this happened with titles. Everyone seemed to think it was hallucinating but it actually turned out to be really leaking other peoples titles. Ultimately its pretty difficult to distinguish between the two, so these sort of re

Places that decriminalize drugs need to pour the money they saved on enforcement into health, social programmes and education. The positive effects of decriminalising anything aren't going to be seen until a while after that is done.

I mean you might think AI can't currently affect humanity but it really does. A lot of people are now using AI to write code and to answer questions they probably should be asking a doctor or lawyer. A lot of people seem to think it&#x

According to several sources, GPT-4 is already doing this (It's called "Mixture of experts"). I agree though, it's still useful on an application level. You can build out even higher on that and have the LLM decide which

Just before the point they built this, I was already chaining queries together to do this. I built a plugin system with bits of JS code that are eval'd and arguments injected. They couldn't have released this at a better time, I h

In the UK we have the electoral register. In order to vote, you need to be registered to it. The government most definitely does use it, as do credit scoring agencies and identitity verification services. A lot of places do accept bank stat

Pretty sure LLMs can solve this particular problem. They have their own issues though.

Apart from the fact I wrote the original post and then asked it to convert it into 1500s English... It even retained the form that I asked it to (with the moralization at the end). so you are right that it was generated by GPT-4, but for en

Right now seems like the right time to be doing this for sure. There are also a lot of potential applications for GPT to be used to solve problems that were previously too expensive or infeasible to be done by humans at scale. It definitely

GPT is just a very advanced text completion engine. If you put the start of some code in, or a function name it will try to complete it.

I used nintendo IP intentionally with the hope that they would end up having to act one way or another (sue or not sue) and have to make a statement on why they decided to make said decision. Nintendo have been known to be pretty trigger h
