@rossjanderson Professor Ross Anderson, FRS, FREng Dear friend and treasured long term campaigner for privacy and security, Professor of Security Engineering at Cambridge University and Edinburgh University, Lovelace Medal winner, has died suddenly at home in Cambridge.
Excel is actually a very powerful piece of software, and 20k data points is not a lot. People need to be less snobby!

ChatGPT system prompt is 1700 tokens?!?!? If you were wondering why ChatGPT is so bad versus 6 months ago, its because of the system prompt. Look at how garbage this is. Laziness is literally part of the prompt. Formatted in the paste bin below. pastebin.com/vnxJ7kQk
Parcel delivery firm DPD have replaced their customer service chat with an AI robot thing. It’s utterly useless at answering any queries, and when asked, it happily produced a poem about how terrible they are as a company. It also swore at me. 😂

Watched @_mikepound explain A* algorithm on @computer_phile this morning over breakfast, while considering options for today’s Advent of Code problem. Will have a go later. Thanks Mike.

Many modern “AI” systems are built upon LLMs etc by adding your own secret prompts alongside a users in an attempt to coerce and control the network into working how you’d like it to - this will almost always fail eventually.

For those who don't know, DALL-E3 attempts to combat the racial bias in its training data by occasionally randomly inserting race words that aren't white into a prompt, but this leads to bizarre overspill like this

With the OpenAI clownshow, there's been renewed media attention on the xrisk/"AI safety" nonsense. Personally, I've had a fresh wave of reporters asking me naive questions (+ some contacts from old hands who know how to handle ultra-rich man-children with god complexes). 🧵1/

“Ben Stokes pulls, twice goes to the deep square leg fielder and Stokes declines the run. Stokes then toe-ends into the off side for a single.” The problem with cricket is I think they deliberately write it this way to confuse me.
An exploit whereby you point a camera at an LED and capture a secret key? Sounds far fetched? @_mikepound illuminates! youtu.be/vXe8pe18MNk

Deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Prof Ross Anderson. RIP
@_mikepound James has always struck me as a “could we use powerBI?” kinda guy
@_mikepound Also, specifically, Excel has the capability to connect to more structured data sources. Just because you’re using Excel doesn’t necessarily mean that the the *only* place the information exists is in the spreadsheet!

@InfusiastAmy I see @_mikepound on that train!
We just kicked off the Computer Vision in Plant Phenotyping and Agriculture Workshop @ICCVConference 🌾 with our keynote speaker Andreas Hund. Come by if you are interested in plants!
More details later but our sorghum genotype x phenotype discovery benchmark paper got into NeurIPS and I’m quite stoked. Both because it’s great, and also because this has been a rough research year for me. Having a research program with a 1 year old is, it turns out, quite hard!
Nerd-sniped by @computer_phile (specifically @_mikepound) with this video: youtube.com/watch?v=g9n0a0… How can you generate all unique shapes using cubes (like 2x2 lego bricks)? I've calculated all shapes up to n=13 in Java, but each iteration is about 7 times slower.
