Because of the eventual index inclusions, and insane market cap, this affects nearly everyone with a retirement account. Unless you aren't tracking big indexes for some reason.

I was there at the first Can show in Cologne.

The exact quote "python is for brahmins" brings up top links on incels.is and 4chan, so perhaps OC's character is something worth dismissing.

Your comment carries disdain for people who lack "self control" from engaging with algorithms that are proficiently designed to keep you engaged with the content, as if checking little boxes in the user's grey matter. Does your grey matter have foolproof methods to avert manipulation from processes that have billions of dollars and thousands of man hours poured into figuring out how to keep you engaged? Are you immune to tricks being developed in the future right now? Who's to say you haven't been manipulated through multiple degrees of separation?

This is sort of the explanation I was looking for. So I've learned this is a pretty good snowboard sim and that people really love it, but those aren't as enticing factors as the game just being hard to find. N64 emulation is still not really there and probably never will be so a decomp makes sense.

There are idea guys that thought it was funny to decompile an obscure N64 game with little cultural and nostalgic attention, and they found themselves at the intersection of special interest doers which they could egg on into doing it?

More I am just confused for why the game was chosen. SM64, Zelda OoT for example I could easily understand the community motivations behind decompiling. This not so much, which makes the whole endeavor even cooler.

Awesome, but I always wondered why so much effort was put into decompiling this? Seems like a meme for meme's sake.

About three quarters of the "bad" choices are things that not only do I not care about leaking but things that an employer would not punish you for doing, even if it led to a production incident.

What does your tangent about feelings have to do with the fact that the money is illegally allocated? That is the theme OC is pointing out.

I would probably hate someone if they were buying the same hardware as me but doing something actually useful with it. Any game worth playing doesn't require high specs anyway. There is such a large catalog of old games.

None of these are the "norm". The IDEs OC mentioned all have a much larger install base.

I really found it hard to sympathize with the author at this point. If you're in a crunch you don't need to pay a maid to clean.

He views the federal government as his assets to use and not the people's, I don't blame your confusion. This philosophy at the highest seat of office is unprecedented in America.

I appreciate you clarifying my understanding; yes I understand LLMs are not continuously trained.

>Is your claim that when the second prompt comes in, Anthropic search previous queries and injects the answer into the context window?

Yes. I would be terrified if this could be replicated with an open weight model locally. But this, well we have a general understanding of how these hosted models function we really don't know /exactly/ what they are processing.

It's explained by the near impossibility of isolating requests from each other, and chain of custody of divulged information.

If I send a prompt from identity A, which is the true user identity, you have possibly sent all of identity A metadata to be ingested alongside the prompt to generate response X.

If I /then/ send the prompt from identity B, the prompt has been answered before with metadata from identity A. The black box can consult metadata from response X to generate response Y, thus possibly correlating response Y with the prompt sent by identity A.
