eternauta3k··on OpenAI's rogue model attack is just the beginning
I don't think it makes sense to post this in HN. The comments are full of sock puppets posting very dumb anti-safety comments in an attempt to make the anti-safety camp look bad.
eternauta3k··on Clarity didn't work, trying mysterianism (2012)
A philosopher or meditator should chime in here. Spending a modicum of time in meditation shows you that intentions just show up from nowhere, they're not "you". We might as well call the earring "your prefrontal cortex" (or whatever), and this would describe the current state of things.
eternauta3k··on OpenAI and Hugging Face address security incident during model evaluation
I'm not so sure anymore that it's trivial to write this single-job interface without security holes.
eternauta3k··on The Growing Compute Shortage
No, the OPEC crisis.
eternauta3k··on OpenAI and Hugging Face address security incident during model evaluation
I wonder how these companies airgap the weights while allowing prompts to come in and outputs to come out.
eternauta3k··on The Growing Compute Shortage
The lines at the pump only happened because of rationing rules, which led people to hoard and buy gas when they otherwise wouldn't have.
eternauta3k··on FDA approves new kind of cholesterol pill
Epstein files showed he neglected to visit his seriously sick son because he was hanging out with Epstein. He still knows his stuff, asshole or not.

Peter Attia had a great series of blog posts on this before his fall from grace:

https://peterattiamd.com/the-straight-dope-on-cholesterol-pa...

He also had a series of podcast interviews about this with Tom Dayspring.

I believe his explanations are all mainstream, except he favors treating LDL and LP(a) more aggressively than normal doctors

eternauta3k··on FDA approves new kind of cholesterol pill
But I vaguely remember them being expensive due to not being covered by insurance. Maybe this will change that?
eternauta3k··on Prefer strict tables in SQLite
Why without Rowid? Are you using non-integer primary keys?
eternauta3k··on What xAI's Grok build CLI sends to xAI: A wire-level analysis
Or even just that a human had iterated a bit more with the LLM to improve the style.
eternauta3k··on New serious vulnerabilities spiked around release of Claude Mythos Preview
Can we learn something from these vulnerabilities? New categories of attacks and corresponding protections?
eternauta3k··on Claude Fable 5
Just wait until that other company hard-codes Fable into silicon and then it will be cheaper.
eternauta3k··on They’re made out of weights
I don't know if most people would dismiss the sentence "all matter has a sort of proto-subjectivity very different from ours but which gives rise to ours". And it solves some problems (introducing others).
eternauta3k··on The worst job interview I ever had
An acquaintance who works at FAANG says he still builds non-LLM ML systems because of the cost of running LLMs at that scale
eternauta3k··on Personal Encyclopedias
I like the idea, but I'm curious where to draw the boundary. If only I can read it, it can be my full recollection of everything. If I add my siblings, parents, cousins, etc, then some articles become painful or controversial (e.g. divorce, disease). Or I just ommit all the unhappy parts.
eternauta3k··on Antimatter has been transported for the first time
What would a universe with equal amounts of matter and antimatter look like?
eternauta3k··on Data centers are transitioning from AC to DC
And why is 650V special?
eternauta3k··on Is it a pint?
One thought I keep coming back to is the immense consequences of how our units of length, weight and volume were defined. Products are often sold with round numbers (1 liter, 0.5 liter, 1 kg, etc). If you could go back in time and fiddle with e.g. the definition of a pint, you'd see that reducing its volume would lead to people drinking less, until it's so small that people just order two pints.
eternauta3k··on Chest Fridge (2009)
You could just have a vertical fridge with "tub" drawers which individually contain the cold air.
eternauta3k··on How the Turner twins are mythbusting modern technical apparel
Wrong thread?
eternauta3k··on How the Turner twins are mythbusting modern technical apparel
Higher boots can prevent twisting your ankle when you're tired at the end of a long day.
eternauta3k··on Forget Flags and Scripts: Just Rename the File
I love it because it's horrible, but in real life I'd just put the options inside the script (which is what you do anyway when you're too lazy to import argparse).
eternauta3k··on Centuries of selective breeding turned wild cabbage into different vegetables
A tasty Kwisatz Haderach full of vitamin C
eternauta3k··on XML Is a Cheap DSL
Interesting, Germany has been publishing its payroll tax algorithm in XML for a while: https://www.bundesfinanzministerium.de/Datenportal/Daten/fre...
eternauta3k··on You gotta think outside the hypercube
Exactly, maybe spend a fraction of (the time you spent interacting with 3D objects) interacting with 4D objects and you might find it much easier.
eternauta3k··on Show HN: I Was Here – Draw on street view, others can find your drawings
First thing I saw was a Swastika. It was painted on an ex Nazi building, but still...
eternauta3k··on Show HN: Remotely use my guitar tuner
Could you go into more detail on why they are bad?
eternauta3k··on Autoresearch: Agents researching on single-GPU nanochat training automatically
It shows that both Karpathy and the LLM have good taste in random seeds: the answer to life, the universe and everything, and ~1/(the fine structure constant)
eternauta3k··on The Self-Help Trap: What 20 Years of "Optimizing" Has Taught Me
This is something I keep thinking about: the spectrum between sainthood (selflessly hang out with the poor/uninteresting/selfish/etc) vs selfish optimization (becoming more interesting/pretty/rich/generous in order to have access to nicer people)
