I assume OP interpreted it as encryption that hides the prompts from OpenAI rather than OpenAI hiding information from users.

Maybe not that bad, stopping the accelerator means the storage requirements drop now that data is no longer being taken. Storage is instead just used for simulation and reprocessing which is small in comparision. So long as the market recov

No they're not. At CERN physics data is on: * CTA for tape storage: https://cta.docs.cern.ch/v5/ * EOS for disk storage: https://eos-web.web.cern.ch/eos-web/ There is a large CEPH cluster as

This is very real, but such CVEs are such a tiny fraction in relation to denial-of-service-due-to-regex that it’s hard to take the system seriously. So far as I’m concerned the solution is to isolate everything as much as possible. I’d love

The key point here is the “pay less” part. I know people that have turned down offers from meta that would 5x their salary and their personal situation would notably improve from at least some of that extra cash. The OP is a bit preachy and

For anyone who thinks this might matter for security: * curl is mature enough that the chance of an impactful bug is basically zero * if there is such a bug, I'm sure someone will figure out how to get in touch with Daniel and co * if

To be fair, the entire problem space sucks and I’m not sure it’s possible not to.

In 1910 the foreign-born population was 14.7% and the drop around WWII was caused by other factors. Much of the industrialisation and banking industry was driven by immigrants. Arguably the wealth of today is the product of managing to avoi

In early 2023, I was debugging an issue in a long abandoned package that used OpenSSL and needed to be fixed for OpenSSL 3. The entire thing was a mess and the parts of OpenSSL it was using are almost entirely undocumented. Copying a pastin

The abstraction isn’t really a thing any more. It was a nice idea but in practice it’s an operational nightmare not knowing if data is available and for how long it will be. For reference staging can take days during intense activity and yo

You can seed the randomness are still having nonzero temperature. Numerical instability can introduce randomness especially on GPU like hardware unless you’re very careful about how you write your algorithms.

Everything there is extremely speculative and I don't see anything that contradicts that inference itself could be profitable at massive scale. See https://youtu.be/xmkSf5IS-zw for example. If the companies as a whole

It helps make it difficult to do scalping at scale. They can't reliably sell seats next to people. Always having to pay people their cut to use their name means the refund mechanism is still costly to the scalper. It doesn't have
