> They've already unblinded, so it would be unethical to do anything other than report what they found. Absolute and utter ridiculous nonsense. Can you not just admit when you're wrong? It's perfectly ethical for them to g

The burden is on you to have studied the subject in even the slightest detail before you mouth off with your ridiculous hot takes. There are plenty of discussions of this available. Do you need me to spoonfeed you about where you can find t

Have you considered that you just don't understand why it's funny or clever?

That might make sense if the bank wasn't also acting as an agent for the government, with potentially severe, life-changing consequences if they hear something they don't like. If the question was purely for my protection, then

The people you're talking about probably still consider that a noble goal, though. In fact some of the people like that are CEOs of tech companies.

A rug pull involves convincing someone to buy something first. Theft doesn’t have to involve any convincing. This is a pretty basic distinction. Perhaps you were thinking of “fraud”?

This makes me think of a version of that comic where in the last pane, you get thrown out the window for suggesting such a sensible thing.

I think your claim is narrower than I was imagining. Sure, the exact nature of the understanding that an LLM exhibits is different from a human's. The differences in the training data we're each exposed to can explain a great deal

There is no possible interpretation under which JS fits “simpler protocols and formats,” and no world in which JS could form part of a truly secure network client environment.

I’m saying that Javascript is particularly problematic here. The comparisons to “function” in the examples above are something you’d be unlikely to see in most other languages. Using Javascript is like prompting the LLM “You are a marginall

You have a valid reason to expect that your keys are in the place you remember leaving them. That’s not the case with large flocks of living animals. In that case, you’re simply making a category error in imagining that those living animals

Why do you think any of those definitions fit the case of the falcons? I took a look at “MW’s” web definition and it seems singularly lacking. Perhaps you should consider purchasing a real dictionary. Cambridge is a bit better: https:&#x2F

According to the dictionary definition of "missing", they were not missing. At best, our assumptions about where we expected to find them were wrong.

The problem with using LLMs to write Javascript is that they’re trained on Javascript written by humans. Which is not the training corpus I’d choose to teach a neural net to write code.

As a general rule, someone trying to use a simple single numerical measure as a skeleton key to understand politics across nations is an ideologue with an agenda. As for the Genghis Khan comparison, I may have made an error. We may just be

One problem is that treating authentication as a "can you enter" authorization is predicated on the idea of a session-based system with two states, logged in or logged out. But there are many scenarios where e.g. taking some parti
