1) Any particular reasoning behind estimating OpenAI’s margins are 60%? 2) How much does human preference diverge from benchmark scores in your experience? 3) Do woodpeckers stop attacking houses when it’s winter in Alberta?

For privacy and compliance reasons (read: “oh boy wouldn’t wanna get sued, eh?” reasons) we actually don’t snoop into the message body much. Hooray, good job on not doing the maximally big brother thing for once, MS! My hot take is that thi

You didn’t make any mistakes encoding, I just screwed up my decoding, it happens :D Thanks for clarifying, ok, hmm… that seems hard to do if you can check the IP block by using a subnet mask but the specific IP isn’t resolved until later in

Huh? This shouldn’t be possible in principle? Don’t quote me on that though, I wish I’d paid more attention to my notes but they’re a mess and haven’t kept up with newer changes, if they were accurate at all in the first place. I’d submit a

Hmm, oh wow, occasionally I’m reminded that if I flipped sides to run phishing campaigns I’d be totally unstoppable. There isn’t a quick way, by design. You need to wait a minimum period and meet some predicates, and the organized scammers

Yo I’m not even gonna apologize about this, it would be so wack if we didn’t do that: a) if a mail sever looks like it’s gonna send spam, then you gotta block it. I personally have philosophical hang ups about this, like it’d be wrong to se

Oh man I think around 2 years ago there was a 3x spike in Europe outbound spam and the fraud team had to disable like 200k+ tenants from some shady cloud VPS. We didn’t have a long term plan for the abuse back then besides playing whack-a-m

My guess is that the effectiveness issue isn’t actually due to SNDS and is probably related to sender reputation having famously high false positive rates. I read a paper a while back which introduced a different algorithm with tighter boun
