Today I learned a new word...

Passive aggressive is an understatement. Why did it focuses on summarizing its sexual content guidelines before anything else?

I know the machine can't judge the user or browbeat them into changing subject, but the reply is a bit unsettling.

If they want to take my awful prompts and poison their model with it, it's their loss.

For anyone else that believes their input needs secrecy, you need to check the corporate plan of any provider for data protection clauses. Most use the cheaper plans as bait to get more training data and free feedback.

This is the first time an AI provider makes a trailer[0] for their main release and game development is the first demo and main hook.

Anthropic might dominate general purpose programming,but I think there's enough of a market for a model laser focused on game scripting or tool development for game studios.

I hope it succeeds in serving that audience.

Noob question, but is there, on a harness level, a way to compress or optimize the "pre processing prompt" or any other preamble?

I know you can give instructions to guide an agent, but they are still plain English, the interpretation still isn't absolute and the more rules, the less likely it is to respect the whole set of rules in the preamble, but the whole process seem so... "Unprofessional"?

As I see it, a tool should be reliable and the less bloat, less possible points of failure.LLMs seem overly verbose and you can't shake the feeling it might veer away from the objective at any point. You can pay to mitigate or work around the risk, but it still doesn't inspire confidence in anything with more than 30 lines

Optimism and status reports burn extra tokens and make the user more prone to ask the model to process the problem again because it was "so close to solving".

This way you get more profit per API user and subscription users reach their quota faster and are contacted to update their plan to a higher tier.

It's working exactly as intended

If you bought the product, the money went to the company. You don't need to take personal responsibility beyond that, and the company isn't doing the thing you hate so much. By the same token that "some of your money might end up (after many twists and turns) empowering politics you find repugnant", a much bigger share of this money is paying for the food on the table of the employees, their families and their children.

How many people unrelated with your personal gripe, people that were doing a good job since you were paying and satisfied customer, are you willing to punish in order to "send a message"?

This is an impossible standard to live by and demand from everything you buy and every service you pay for. Doubly so if you need to announce to the world you're dropping a product because of something that isn't done by or responsibility of its employees.

Mail the EFF

I think it failing miserably to make an accurate profile just with generic training data is a good thing. Identifying someone with precision should require a minimum of intent, if not effort.

Try putting the nickname of your friends and see how many false positives it can find.

It thinks a polish friend of mine is a Brazilian footballer.

How to murder bug bounty programs with one website

So... If your latest nap was comprised of nightmares and solving a job issue, can you charge your boss for overtime and harmful working conditions?

I encourage you to mail them specifically about this concern.

If it is a matter of communication, they can fix and clarify it. If it's genuinely scummy, they can change their approach now that they know they were caught in the act

We are extremely well served in open source and free options for SNES emulation. The dev wants to make something new, is using Unity for multiplatform and gor partial shader code abstraction and he has proven he can deliver good stuff if properly funded.

Let the man cook, and if you have some technical question, i'm sure Lord would answer you.

download it and test on virustotal

Guess you could say it helped you find some clojure

So they've been advancing in making the AI use the computer through the same API as a person (screen/cursor/keystrokes), and the dream is a Future where AI can use a PC and handle tasks and tools like a human user.

But to use their product,you have to go through the non-human-friendly API route, or else it's against the rules and Anthropic will sic their legal team onto you...

Something about this reasoning seems brittle. Specially in a world of Agentic tools

Ok

Have someone already brought the "reinstate the Fairness Doctrine" talking point for this issue? The best back and forth arguments happen under it.

One thing I never understood on these recompilation projects is how static recomp translates the graphics between radically different architectures. Even with the supporting libraries, this translation shouldn't "just work"

The second big board with all the radio buttons doesn't work in my phone.

I barely started the article and CSS is already causing problems.

Don't shoot the messenger. He's just sharing his experience with the tool and using an anecdotal example.

this means the example wasn't made to be lightweight. You'll need an apples to apples example to convince any detractor. Implement the same app using two different toolsets, document the process with each and then benchmark it

Anyone here old enough to remember if the Fairness doctrine worked? Current internet is impossible to regulate and it's easier to run Doom in a walnut than getting any site to issue a retraction or correct blatant lies, but relying on "arbiters of truth" or wasting hours or days to untangle every article and author is also a hard to concile with real life obligations.

We already advanced beyond Taylorism's myopic time-motion glorification. This isn't a tool to improve the process, but to push the employee towards the meat grinder rather than look for a more intelligent approach (matching an employee's tasks and abilities rather than just giving him a red rating and ugly performance numbers)

Nice catch! And finding a vulnerability on such a high profile service will look very nice on the resume.

Congrats!

Typo. I meant C.

And I still think the culture clash angle should be taken more seriously.

An accomplished senior C dev can find good jobs writing drivers or microcontroller code more easily than starting over into a junior rust dev and being talked down by whomever joined the rust wave before them.

(which would be even more aggravating if the C dev is doing it since before the rust adopter was born).

Is Sima paid for his contributions?

Maybe it's because of Linus' age or because the players involved are bigger than many past issues, but the way I see it, both decisions are really costly:

- Endorse Rust with little reserve and over half of the C++ devs will feel betrayed and quit supporting the Linux project. They've been working on C++ for Decades and things mostly worked, so they won't pivot for a new language and way of developing for something that exists for less than 30 years.

- Ban rust contributions and the entire Linux foundation goes directly against some big players, like DARPA and other departments of the American government[1], which itself is a trend setter. Some big sponsors might also pull out and that ALSO removes devs from the project.

So, which decision would be so overwhelmingly more advantageous that's worth taking all the negatives of the other on the chin rather than trying to minimize harm and wait to see if either Rust software proves to be not so magically immune to memory leaks and vulnerabilities or if some tool makes the transition less contentious?

I wonder how viable is Lua for a full stack application or webpage.

It has a very barebones standard library by design

They are baiting for a lawsuit. Posting this right now isn't very beneficial for openAI, since they themselves want to loose the self inposed restrictions.
