You can write your code so SQL injections are not possible. You can't do the same with prompt injections.

I recently noticed people think "wiki" is a set of deeply interlinked documents. But to me it means ability to edit without logging in.

Reading your comment made me realize that I love that the position of the FSF is held by someone, in the interest of stretching the Overton Window to that side.

If you have openrouter do this little experiment: Go to https://openrouter.ai/chat . Select a few models, but customize them to have an empty system prompt. Then ask: "你是什么模型?" ("What model are you?" in M

That slap was not official punishment. You were interacting with a peer. It's different from what's being discussed here.

Your word might be of petabytes of traffic. Some people have slow lines. Some people have metered Internet subscriptions. Not everyone has access to the same infrastructure you have.

You're pushing back against openly using LLMs to assist in research for writing articles. In my opinion the effect of your pushback is nudging people to not disclose their use of LLMs. I'm not sure that's what you want. In ot

It might actually be that they mean what they say. If you look at the numbers, this doesn’t resemble a company cutting because it’s in trouble. Block is profitable, gross profit has been growing double-digits year over year, and they’re gui

I think a big part of "criminally low" is that you'll make much more money selling it on the black market than getting the bounty.

There were strong signals from the CF CEO that they align with the Trump administration. They threatened to pull the plug on all Italian customers. This is relevant to this conversation: CF recently acted in a way that makes some people thi

Historically the practice of producing pyc files on install started with system wide installed packages, I believe, when the user running the program might lack privileges to write them. If the installer can write the .oy files it can also

I see. I thought you meant "under Trump the US is not a democracy". Which I think is a pretty common opinion. But now I understand you meant "the US has never been a democracy".

by salviati 9mo ago
Thinking that the word is divided into evil and non evil people is not very useful.

by salviati 9mo ago
> the US is not a democracy. Since when? You probably think that it has been a democracy at some point. And I'm sure the US did use torture at the time you deemed it a democracy. Hence I don't get your point.

I thought providing my point of view was contributing to the discussion. I didn't mean to enforce anything. I still don't think most people would call Excel or Photoshop "apps", but I'm absorbing the points of view

`/bin/ls` is an executable but it's not an application. The two terms are different.
