As someone physically capable of playing games with the blinky shiny lights, they aren’t all they’re cracked up to be. My top two games atm are Manor Lords and MENACE, both of which should be perfectly accessible to you.

Just out of interest, what do you make of this situation in my country? Roma people make up less than 5% of the population of the country. They are heavily discriminated against. The majority of the population are racist against them. By your logic, we should ignore and maybe even embrace the racism to steer the conversation back to economic issues?

From your comment history, it looks like you’re an American leftist. Maybe don’t throw rocks at allies? You’re going to need all the help you can get with your current government structure.

The point is I don’t think LLMs normally use copyrighted code in a way that would hurt open source projects.

I don’t know. I’m not a lawyer, and copyright for code was a hot mess even before LLMs got involved. With how many opportunistic copyright/patent trolls there are and how easily convinced judges have been in the past, it could go either way.

Lol, so how do humans code in comparison?

The good programmers normally code by breaking down the problem into constituent parts and logically working through the problem, step by step. What differentiates this from tokenization is that instead of just looking for code that is similar for a similar problem, programmers can usually understand the effects of each line of code, visualize what the state of each variable will be in that step (or dump out the variables to look directly if unsure), and then move on to the next step. This logical problem-solving approach is fundamentally different from a tokenization+noise looking for a similar-looking problem approach. For one thing, you can solve problems that haven’t been solved before.

That would rely on the contact of that user using the admin’s public key. In most systems I’ve seen that’d result in a big flashing warning that the user’s key has been changed. So, dangerous for people contacting you for the first time, much more obvious if the 2 users have been talking before that point.

Other people have raised the much more interesting and potentially dangerous point that it’s very difficult in this context to make sure that a particular public key corresponds with a particular user. I’m way more used to sysadmin style issues where you have a small number of known keypairs, while in this context it’s a large number of mostly unknown keypairs, so you need some way of confirming that. I’m starting to understand why this is a much thornier issue than it appears on the surface.

LLMs don’t “create”. Under the hood, they’re tokenizing the queries, looking for “clouds” of tokens that are similar to the query, then returning a sequence of tokens (with some random noise thrown in) that match what their training data says the answer should be.

In short: all LLM code is an amalgamation of their training data by definition. If there’s nothing similar in there, it’s literally not possible for it to be part of any response.

How much do you know about cryptography?

I’d describe myself as a relatively knowledgeable layman. Essentially I know enough to use it effectively in a sysadmin/dbadmin capacity, but not got a good grasp of the underlying math.

This was my earliest blog post on the topic, if you want a place to start.

Thank you, I’ll take you up on that.

As long as the admin doesn’t possess the private key, that solution still prevents the latter issue. If the admin swaps out your public key for one they control, they could technically impersonate you and read messages after the swap, but not read any messages from before. The user would be unable to use E2EE as soon as the key is swapped, so the only real issue here is impersonation.

An admin could theoretically take over a user’s account today, so there’s not really a new vulnerability here. And with E2EE, there’d be a big clue about something funky happening with the public key changing.

EDIT: Oh.

These aren’t encapsulation keys (a.k.a., asymmetric or “public key encryption” keys). Encapsulation keys belong to the MLS KeyPackages, which are NOT planned to ever be logged in a key transparency system. The KeyPackages will be signed by the keypair whose public component is stored, however.

That seems… strange? Not sure why that approach was chosen.

Or, far more likely, installed some devious listening device somewhere that records and occasionally phones home.

Maybe it was a mistake to try and use natural language for this kind of job, it’s too fuzzy and interpretable. Maybe we need a new language, one with a much stricter syntax and no room for interpretation. If you make it simple enough, and use some natural language for important keywords, shouldn’t be too difficult to learn.

We could call it “language for programming” or something like that.

Eh, who am I kidding, that’ll never catch on.

Not if you have pets. You’ll need a screen to stop hair getting into the case if you have cats/dogs.

My cat used to do that all the time. Burrowed under the blanket and then turned around and stuck her head out.

These antibiotics are awful though. So big I had to break in half just to swallow and they gave me an awful tummy ache even though I ate with yogurt like the Dr suggested.

Sounds very unpleasant. Get well soon.

Cat bites are really nasty, like losing a limb or worse

Not that bad, but yeah. Cat scratches heal just fine. Cat bite? Instant course of antibiotics, and also a rabies shot if it’s not your own cat.

The next time, throw a glass of water into the fight or slam some pot lids together to make a scary noise to interrupt the fight

Absolutely. Throwing water at fighting cats is a great method of getting them to disperse. By far the safest and most reliable method.

The vast majority of that final paragraph is just good advice for cat owners generally, not even specifically for cats that hate each other. Neutered cats have much better health outcomes as there’s just less that can go wrong. Giving them plenty of routes to move around the room just generally results in more active, happier cats. Also, scratching posts are mandatory if you don’t want them attacking your furniture. They have a physiological need to scratch, give 'em somewhere to do it.

What profits? AI companies are burning through money like crazy.

I am not quite in that demographic but getting pretty close. I’ve bought maybe a game a year for a very long time now. Most non-indie stuff is complete and utter trash. If I see a AAA publisher logo, I take it as a sign that it’s not worth my time or money.

Seems pretty normal for an orange cat. There’s something about that colour that causes extreme stupidity. They’re normally good fun though.

Newton is for throwing with intelligence

Probably more useful to study the damage that can be caused by a dead worm to brain tissue.
