Maybe the boundaries of the memory subsystem are a bit fuzzy.

I think this is only "statistically" true in the sense that training is based on facts and not non-facts (except maybe with the ingestion of flat-earthers literature ;-). The existence of hallucinations in a bare transformer shows

This visualization really makes not much sense. Very modest signal-to-noise ratio.

I think with agents all around, honeypots will get more important than ever.

Yeah. I also only use pro in very specific situations. Not (just) because it's slow, but if the question is too simple or vague, pro responses are sometimes overfitting to the noise in my question. Until there is lots of context and th

It feels very humbling that here is one of the smartest humans on the planet asking questions, and the LLM keeps answering in this "Yes, it's really simple if you think about it" way, like a professor talking to a talented st

I also had a frustrating but funny conversation today where I asked ChatGPT to make one document from the 10 or so sections that we had previously worked on. It always gave only brief summaries. After I repeated my request for the third tim

Impatient execs can also be painful. EDIT: Writing this while I am waiting for Codex to complete, so I may enjoy slow AI more than the usual developer ;-)

I think the issue it the (literal) "head-of-line blocking". Some requests can be processed either "concurrently" like tapping a beer from a keg or in parallel by having multiple bartenders, but having all people standing

only learned about SKIP LOCKED because ChatGPT suggested it to solve some concurrency problem I had. Great tool to learn such things.

Honestly a crappy situation. In Germany, Telekom is a monopolistic bully. In evening hours, any service behind Cloudflare more or less stops working (for instance, before I cancelled my subscription, chess.com web assets were delivered with

I’ve seen this with some of my Indian colleagues, though definitely not all. In fact, most are more than eager to disagree with me :D (even though I’m their superior)

Spending months dealing with folks attempting to blackmail us over ridiculous non-issues has pretty much killed any sympathy I had for bug bounty hunters.

In my experience, this depends a lot on the subreddits you are subscribed to. Even in that set, the general mood sometimes changes significantly over time, e.g. because moderators change, a flood of new people is coming in because of some t

Ironic that I switched to HN from chess.com because Deutsche Telekom‘s peering with Cloudflare (or more its lack of) made the site even more unusable than usual. 5 minutes ago I thought „Maybe it’s time to switch to Vodafone“

I remember back in 2000 or so when I declined the invitation to a party because I wanted to compile a new kernel in the evening.

But isn’t that exactly what GP meant? There is an original, very precise but also very abstract definition (and what is more abstract than category theory). Then people come along who give a different definition that matches the original on

I would be very cautious to give an advice like this to my team. Making a thing simple is actually very hard, and many, who hear the words, may just equate „simple thing“ with „first thing that comes to mind“, which may eventually turn into

Maybe I am too pessimistic, but as an EU citizen I expect politics (or should I say Trump?) to prevent access to US-based frontier models at some point.

In our product, we have different strategies depending on the requirements. Sometimes, we just delete. Sometimes, we do soft delete with timestamps. Sometimes, we have a history table with or without versioned entities. Sometimes, we have v

I am not saying I‘d do this, but in theory you could deploy a single reverse proxy in front of your HTTP-only devices and restrict traffic accordingly.

In my opinion, there’s also a third (and certainly controversial) option: suicide is the ultimate expression of freedom, self actualization, and human dignity. I don’t plan to kill myself in the foreseeable future, but the thought that I c

Been on a Dylan concert a few months ago, and I really wondered why he did this to himself, at his age, with his money. He seemed so utterly bored.

Did not see your comment until after I posted mine, but exactly this. The amount of disk io from these sort operations can be massive and very surprising.

The authors of this article obviously know infinitely more about postgres than I do, but you can trigger writes using reads much easier. If you’re selecting something that does not fit into working memory and try to sort it (or use a mechan

I am out of the game for a year or so (and was never completely in the game), but back then BERT was the basis for lots of interesting applications. The original Vision Transformer (ViT) was based (or at least inspired by) BERT, it was used

Can you explain why you expected this from the title? When I hear „network routing“, the first thing that comes into my mind is IP routing, not a reverse proxy. With a „homelab“, I‘d never associate the need for a reverse proxy or SSL certi
