Bestie asked me today for a book about US history from 1870-1900.

I pointed out that there was a lot going on during that time, and could she be more specific about her particular interest. I then listed about 30 facts of US history from 1870-1900, everything from the retreat from Reconstruction to the 25m immigrants to the transition first into an industrial powerhouse and then into a global power to the early Populist movements in the west to the finalization of the indigenous nations.

RE: mastodon.social/@dangillmor/11

met 38 times with MEPs from the ECR, the Patriots and the Europe of Sovereign Nations Group.

has also not shied away from meeting far-right MEPs. A few days after the launch of the digital omnibus, the Head of Public Affairs of Google France joined a dinner party in Strasbourg hosted by six French MEPs from the far right Rassemblement National.”

Douglas Adams once said something, answering a question from a fan about whether Arthur Dent was a “hero”, and whether the Hitchhiker stories were “gaily whimsical” or cynical. The whole thing won't fit here (see: shreevatsa.net/post/douglas-ad) but quoting the main part:

> I suspect there is a cultural divide at work here. In England our heroes tend to be characters who either have, or come to realise that they have, no control over their lives whatsoever – Pilgrim, Gulliver, Hamlet, Paul Pennyfeather (from Decline and Fall), Tony Last (from A Handful of Dust). We celebrate our defeats and our withdrawals – the Battle of Hastings, Dunkirk, almost any given test match. There was a wonderful book published, oh, about twenty years ago I think, by Stephen Pile called the Book of Heroic Failures. It was staggeringly huge bestseller in England and sank with heroic lack of trace in the U.S. Stephen explained this to me by saying that you cannot make jokes about failure in the States. It’s like cancer, it just isn’t funny at any level. In England, though, for some reason it’s the thing we love most. So Arthur may not seem like much of a hero to Americans – he doesn’t have any stock options, he doesn’t have anything to exchange high fives about round the water-cooler. But to the English, he is a hero. Terrible things happen to him, he complains about it a bit quite articulately, so we can really feel it along with him - then calms down and has a cup of tea. My kind of guy!
>
> I’ve hit a certain amount of difficulty over the years in explaining this in Hollywood. I’m often asked ‘Yes, but what are his goals?’ to which I can only respond, well, I think he’d just like all this to stop, really. It’s been a hard sell.

Problem: LLMs can't defend against prompt injection.

Solution: A specialized filtering model that detects prompt injections.

Problem: That too is susceptible to bypass and prompt injection.

Solution: We reduce the set of acceptable instructions to a more predictable space and filter out anything that doesn't match.

Problem: If you over-specialize, the LLM won't understand the instructions.

Solution: We define a domain-specific language in the system prompt, with all allowable commands and parameters. Anything else is ignored.

Problem: We just reinvented the CLI.

2010년대 후반~2020년대 들어서 대한민국 매스 미디어 거의 대부분에 반중, 중국 혐오 정서가 어떤 형식으로든 들어가있는데, 이거 되게 심각한 현상이다. 한국의 대부분의 대중들에게 "특정 국가, 민족에 대한 혐오"를 거의 10년동안 계속 본인 의지와 상관없이 강제로 주입되고 있는 셈입니다

블루스카이 팀에서 또 답장이 왔는데, 어제 생일 입력하라고 뜨면서 블루스카이 로그인 안되고 무한 로딩 이어지는 현상은 서버 문제 때문이었다고 합니다 아마 조만간 관련해서 사과 공지 올라올듯

[속보] 이창용 "금리 오른다고 부동산 잡히지 않아…종합대책 필요"

n.news.naver.com/article/015/0

종합대책...하...물론 필요하지.
하지만 금리만큼 강한 대책이 어디있냐. 대출관련은 이미 조여놨고, 다른건 대부분 효과 나올려면 오래걸리는 건데

저 사람 은근히 남에게 책임 돌리네.
