Conversing with Mathematicians
  • Yeah, I think the point is that the person answering was wrong/over complicating. If x=10i, then x^2 would be -100 (or potentially -10 depending on what you think the ^2 is applied to).

  • OpenAI’s latest model will block the ‘ignore all previous instructions’ loophole
  • Because all of these models are focused on text prediction/QA, the whole idea of "prompts" organically grew out of the functionality when they tried to make it something more useful/powerful. Everything from function calling, agents, now this are just be bolted onto the foundation of LLMs.

    Its why this seems more like a patch than an actual iteration of the technology. They aren't approaching it at the fundamentals.

  • Senators unveil bipartisan deal on stock trading ban
  • I understand your point, but that's what this law would theoritcally accomplish. It would limit representatives/senators from being able to trade stocks (a higher standard than an average citizen). While they can buy/sell stocks before the law, that's just the current state of affairs.

    Regarding the timing of trades, etc. The value of their insider knowledge is really only beneficial over long periods of time. Yes they could buy/sell stock in the interim, but preventing it long term would be an actual win.

  • Trump lied and Biden got tongue tied at the first debate. So why is the world only focusing on one?
  • Trump is almost as old as Biden and probably more senile. It's not just lying, Trump has a complete lack of understanding about how anything in the government functions. He only sounds coherent to many people because he literally says nothing.

    If you re-watch the debate, you'll see Biden actually responds to questions about his policies and platform. Trump never comes close. Part of that is probably because he has no platform, but largely because I don't think he's capable of answering those questions.

  • Sony is killing off recordable Blu-ray, bidding farewell to disc burning | TechSpot
  • "Required" might not be the right word, but here's an article about how the San Fransico Trains are updated via floppies - https://www.wired.com/story/san-francisco-muni-trains-floppy-disks/

    In the US at least it's not about required, but more legacy support. There are still a lot of old systems that work, but use old technology.

  • My (re)discovery of roguelites
  • Yeah, I saw a couple of people mention Hollow Knight and was confused, it's not a rougelite/like game at all, just straight-up Metroidvania.

    Rouge Legacy 1 & 2 are both great rougelite games.
