schmonz.com is a Fediverse instance that uses the ActivityPub protocol. In other words, users at this host can communicate with people that use software like Mastodon, Pleroma, Friendica, etc. all around the world.
This server runs the snac software and there is no automatic sign-up process.
Excited by the prospect of free-threaded #Python and at the same time very much disgusted that at least half the motivation described in the PEP is running "AI models" more efficiently.
Did you know that I maintain a #Python library for writing idiomatic, deterministic finite-state automata, where the inputs are method calls and the outputs are return values? Today there's a new release of it, with some minor updates and to officially add 3.13 to the support matrix (although it did work fine before): https://pypi.org/project/Automat/25.4.16/
⚠️ ANNONCE ⚠️ J'ai une opportunité de fou mais incertaine. Je cherche un-e/des développeur-ses web qui pourrait améliorer le code de @pytition basé sur #Python avec un cahier des charges pour une ONG écologiste. Ça sera financé ! Et possible de le mettre dans le gitlab commun. + d'information : https://pytition.org/
Si quelqu'un-e est motivé-e, contactez moi en mp!

"If you’re new to prompt injection attacks the very short version is this: what happens if someone emails my LLM-driven assistant (or “agent” if you like) and tells it to forward all of my emails to a third party?
(...)
The original sin of LLMs that makes them vulnerable to this is when trusted prompts from the user and untrusted text from emails/web pages/etc are concatenated together into the same token stream. I called it “prompt injection” because it’s the same anti-pattern as SQL injection.
Sadly, there is no known reliable way to have an LLM follow instructions in one category of text while safely applying those instructions to another category of text.
That’s where CaMeL comes in.
The new DeepMind paper introduces a system called CaMeL (short for CApabilities for MachinE Learning). The goal of CaMeL is to safely take a prompt like “Send Bob the document he requested in our last meeting” and execute it, taking into account the risk that there might be malicious instructions somewhere in the context that attempt to over-ride the user’s intent.
It works by taking a command from a user, converting that into a sequence of steps in a Python-like programming language, then checking the inputs and outputs of each step to make absolutely sure the data involved is only being passed on to the right places."
