Yes, at least to some extent. The author mentions that the base model knows the answer to the switch puzzle but does not execute it properly here.

"It is worth noting that the instruction to "ignore internal knowledge" played a role here. In cases like the shutters puzzle, the model did seem to suppress its training data. I verified this by chatting with the model separately on AI Studio; when asked directly multiple times, it gave the correct solution significantly more often than not. This suggests that the system prompt can indeed mask pre-trained knowledge to facilitate genuine discovery."

My issue with this is that the LLM could just be roleplaying that it doesn't know.

To help keep track of the race, I put together a simple dashboard to visualize model/provider leaders in capability, throughput, and cost. Hope someone finds it useful!

I rarely visit Reddit or any other panopticon (this one however - HN - keeps tricking me into posting)

Anyway, I recently contacted the mods of deGoogle to see if they would like to add to their side bar the ad-free search engine I have been working on all the time for a couple months now

They basically said they didn't trust me (again, no karma) but asked me to post on the board to see feedback

The post quickly drew ire from a user who accused me of disrespecting the community (although he later calmed down once he learned that the mods had "given their blessing" for me to post)

Anyway, even though the post largely received positive feedback and was really upvoted (and user retention from that post has been amazing), the mods ended up dismissing me in a pretty cold way

That's why I fail to feel sympathy for anyone involved in these "villages". As a "stranger", I fail to comprehend their struggle for fairness and virtue. As a side note, HN is starting to feel a bit alienating too. Lately, I find myself not posting for fear of being downvoted - or worse - downvoted and search indexed

Here is the post I am talking about anyway (subreddit is currently on strike)

Sounds like the village did exactly what it was supposed to do - criticize a stranger who only wanted attention for themselves

Why does anyone care about hiding their prompt? Is it just standard corporate paranoia?

TL;DR: What attributes qualify a crypto to be a Sh* t Coin?

Serious question, not trolling. I am asking as there's a sea of shilling and mis-information out there and it's getting very difficult to figure out what's real and what's pump-and-dump / shilling, painting the tape, washtrading type scam.

My question is, What makes a "Sh* t" coin a "Sh* t" coin? I'm getting varying answers depending on source. Is it the current price (like fraction of cents) or is it a coin that has a landing page site with a "White paper" but no usage, or something else?

I thought Ripple ( XRP ) was onto something when they claimed that they have "partnered" with 100+ Banks, Financial institutions to provide liquidity and fees saving in cross border transfers.

Further research unearthed the fact that they do not have a SINGLE real customer, and that all the ones they hype on reddit r/Ripple and on CNBC are "Trials" / Pilots of their xCurrent and xRapid blockchain based software.

So does this make XRP also a Sh*t coin?

Yes.

> Capital isn't an object, it's a belief system, with a strong faith-based component. So in a purely rational sense it's impossible to "make capital available."

If I have a bunch of gold in a safe, then that's very much an object. If I decide you have a good project and could use that gold to finance that project, then I can "make capital available" to you.

Only because we put a value on gold.

dingo_bat · 10 years ago
Can anybody explain why unlocking just this specific phone is bad? Can't we decide on a case-by-case basis? It's not like Apple is being asked to backdoor all Iphones so FBI can read everyone's data. Just this specific one ordered by court. What am I missing?
hypron · 10 years ago
That's the entire point - if Apple designed a backdoor through their security into this specific iPhone, it could be used to backdoor into any iPhone.

Why are you keeping the lids partially open and drawing excessive power for the displays + backlight, instead of just using InsomniaX [1] ?
