I disagree - IMO the idea of having superdelegates is terrible. Any way of picking your party's candidate that deviates from how the candidate is selected in the general is setting yourself up for failure. IMO this is part of why the party has lost steam and alignment with their base. That does fall on the DNC, I think

You might want to investigate this further - IIRC a lot of email services retrieve images in advance server side to avoid leaking whether the client has interacted with the email. I might be mistaken here.

For me personally, I placed a bet for my non-favored candidate so that either my person wins, or I win some amount of money. I'm using it kind of like insurance or hedging. Unfortunately if enough people use it this way, it probably no longer works as a predictor

I think that this assumes a uniform distribution of "interestingness" in the competing posts across all of those dimensions and I wouldn't be surprised if that isn't the case

I've actually thought about free will in the context of wolfram's ideas before, and I like the idea that our minds are computationally irreducible - I think it is a very close analogue to free will.

The only person I'd add to that list is Simon Peyton Jones. I could watch them talk all day!

They're saying they put a poison pill in the job listing itself, so if an applicant copy and pasted the entire job listing into an LLM the generated text will have some kind of "tell".

Yeah - maybe "user agent"?

I'm not sure what is meant by "exact" here - do they describe their binarisation process at all? This seems more like an XOR benchmark than a rag benchmark, no mention of recall or other relevant performance metrics

Maybe scrub cookies and authorization headers by default, but make them an opt-in for bugs where they're relevant?

Edit: it looks like this is already the case!
