This specific problem is solved by requiring that any anonymous ZK ID once used for an account be marked on an immutable ledger preventing multiple uses of the same ID. Sharing it would be pointless as multiple attempts to use it get burne

For those watching this stuff, there are two other promising paths using ZK-proofs which might disarm the tradeoff situation we've been stuck in. Banking apps etc aren't willing to eat the liability of devices that are rooted or

The Supreme Court is eroding the credibility of the institution of law faster than they can make laws. They really want to see how the public reacts to overreach?

Of course! And yes, a Locus appears to be very close in concept to a strange attractor. I am especially interested in the idea of the holographic principle, where each node has its own low-fidelity map of the rest of the (graph?) system a

Anyone interested in this from a history / semiotics / language-theory perspective should look into the triad concepts of: Sign (Signum) - The thing which points Locus - The thing being pointed to Sense (Sensus) - The effect/

If anything we now need to unlearn the rigidity - being too formal can make the AI overly focused on certain aspects, and is in general poor UX. You can always tell legacy man-made code because it is extremely inflexible and requires the u

"Mech suit" is apt. Gonna use that now. Having plenty of initial discussion and distilling that into requirements documents aimed for modularized components which can all be easily tackled separately is key.

This. Except one should also disillusion themselves of the idea that there will always be a higher quality to the 'hand made' versions. AI will almost certainly outpace us in every way, including the ability to make something

No but it increases the speed and ease at which you can check any of those - making a lot of those steps practical when they were a slog before. If people aren't double-checking LLM claims against sources then they were never on guard

Yeah but we also got lucky there - like picking the right altcoin. React was just one of many then, and the rest all crumbled. And like OPs said, modern react is quite different than it was 10 years ago

An Australia's worth of kelp farms in the deep ocean might do it too. Tricky parts are supplying the nitrogen fertilizer (upwelling might be enough), automating planting/harvesting (many drones on a wire probably) and fuel costs

Any time prompt crafting matters is just when demonstrating the current edge of capabilities - next iteration, you can get away with a much more general/primitive prompt. Those are just people countering the "gotcha" argumen

Right. And any particular question people think AIs are bad at also has a comments section of people who have run better crafted prompts that do the job just fine. The consensus is heading more towards "well damn, actually LLMs might

I have a feeling the fact you're only slightly varying the input means the model is falling back into the question it was expecting and getting things wrong as a result. If you just varied it a little more and added some general-pur

lol no, with a small amount of generally-applicable prompt-fu it answers with a ton of nuance that perfectly encapsulates the problem: https://chatgpt.com/share/6775b99d-2220-8003-993b-8dd008a97f...

I would characterize good prompting as: write out your whole problem you're trying to solve, then think to yourself what the clarifying questions would be if you were a junior trying to solve it. Better yet - ask the LLM to ask you c

Sounds like a bunch of excellent excuses why code is not typically well factored. But that all just seems to make it more evident that the ideal format should be more well-factored.

For now. This might very well change once the general public realizes they can be movie directors (or generative world gamers) just by downloading some model and plugging in an eGPU. The potential inference market is huge

I am favoriting this comment for reference later when I start poking around in the base level stuff. I find it pretty funny how simple this stuff can get. Have you messed with ternary computing inference yet? I imagine that shrinks the
