Or if the ”recruiter” is foreign military intelligence looking to compromise people who may land in positions of interest during the next 20-30 years.

People such as database administrators.


First you make the money, then hire someone else to port it to native. That’s what Vampire Survivors did.

I don’t know… we have radioactive elements with a very long half-life, which I assume would be great for calibration: somewhat safe and low activity, so good match for atmospheric concentrations of common radionuclides

If true, the tech requirements imply they could do this in any other country, or worldwide.

If true...

You could ask an LLM to provide categorizarions for nouns and verbs, and store those. For ”I don’t like cappuccino”, you’d get back ”self”, ”human”, etc. for ”I”; ”negation” etc. for ”don’t”; ”preference”, ”trait” etc. for ”like”; ”coffee”, ”hot”, ”drink”, ”beverage” etc. for ”cappuccino”.

It would become unwieldy real fast, though. Easier to get an embedding for the sentence.


What does ”doesn’t work as well” mean here? From my experience, vector lookup via HNSW is fast and accurate enough for practical purposes.


Don’t tell it what not to do. Roughly, it doesn’t have the concept of ”not foobar”: mentioning such a negation in a prompt doesn’t do what a human would expect, and will instead cause ”foobar” activation and possibly also everything that is ”not” + ”foobar”, leading to inattention/off-task behavior as seen here.

You want your prompt to resonate with the desired output in a perfect harmony, and a ”don’t do X” is a bum note.


Wow, diluting stock during a bull run is incredibly short-sighted. NVIDIA is betting there will never be a downturn. If there is, the dilution causes late investors to either be left holding the bag or be forced to sell (potentially at a loss), meaning the stock has the potential to drop like a stone at the first sign of trouble.

I guess that’s why they would be gaming their numbers: to convince the next greater fools.


I agree. OP’s statement ”the need to template environment variables across a subset of jobs suggests an architectural error in the workflow design” does not ring true for cases where you want developers to be able to quickly deploy a separate environment for each development branch, especially if said branch needs to connect to a matching backend/API/other service.


Take a look at archive.org’s video section.


They're a great resource.

I once saw this awful movie in mid-1970s. I couldn't remember the name, just bits of the plot.

archive.org had it: https://archive.org/details/EndoftheWorld


It's unbelievable to me how they get away with being the largest central host of pirated content on the planet.


Personally, I hope IA's projects help plant a vital but poorly distributed notion - that laws aren't ethics.

Sometimes laws aren't even laws but thru bad judgment and manipulation, they can be enforced as if they were. Copyright's endless complexities land it here a lot. Perhaps we should expect that when we let an industry buy it's way into - tinking with and creating law.
