Interesting study but it sounds like the satellite was captured in the early 1990s, exhibited in a museum for a decade or two, and only x-rayed in 2016. I’m not sure if the defects they found can be attributed to the space environment or wear and tear from sitting in a museum.

This looks like an important breakthrough, basically a non-RHLF mechanism to focus and restrict deep nets.

What was the joint LLM training with RAG work? Sounds interesting.

Interesting, what new space startup was that?

Someone in Nebraska should start a site named Cornhub.

Did Conway's Law originate with Lynn Conway?

They report a fairly large jump in accuracy across several datasets in their paper. Looks like a promising approach, basically leveraging the very large context window that some recent LLMs provide to give many examples in context before an actual task is attempted.

I was really impressed at this art project, well done to the person who made it.

The interesting thing is that the original chip inside the N64 was created by Silicon Graphics and was called Project Reality, and it was originally created to pursue consumer VR before that whole industry blew up in the 90s and it was made to power a 3D console instead.

I nice coincidence is that Stewart Brand, who later went on to found the Whole Earth Review and other counterculture icons, was the camera man running the camera at Douglas Engelbart's famous Mother of All Demo demo in 1968 in San Francisco.

Really interesting library.

Is anyone aware of something similar but hooked into Google Cloud infra instead of Azure?

You’ve exactly hit the nail on the head. I’ve been in larger companies and these 3 dynamics explain well why they have trouble innovating.

New comment by bradneuberg in "Tuple Space (2014)"

bradneuberg — Fri, 28 Apr 2023 20:41:40 +0000

One of the inventors of the original Tuple Spaces idea was David Gelernter. He was actually targeted by the Unabomber, and survived but was heavily hurt (https://www.nytimes.com/1995/05/21/magazine/the-unabomber-an...). David was a brilliant researcher, with lots of great ideas including Mirror Worlds (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mirror_Worlds). I sometimes wonder if what the Unabomber did to him in early 90s slowed David down, and made it harder for David's idea to get out there.

I always thought Tuple Spaces were a super cool idea and am a bit bummed out they never took off. JavaSpaces was based on the idea but had a somewhat limited release.

I'd love to know if anyone has concrete ideas on how to protect against prompt injection. It's clearly a major vulnerability, any ideas out there on approaches that could scale to protect against this?
