> Well, no, making a point of highlighting the points of your ignorance when discussing something is good. Especially when you are a notable expert in the broad field being discussed.
I disagree. Stating “whatever that means” indicates dismissiveness, not a transparent lack of expertise. Also, you should know what it means if you’re an expert.
This quote implies to me that he is actually a beginner when it comes to this technology but is expecting to be treated like an expert whose experience generalizes
- copperx 3y agoAbsolutely disagree. I don't think anyone, except someone with access to the source code, knows exactly what temperature 0.7 means. Knuth is a world expert in randomized algorithms. Do you think he doesn't have a good intuition for what could be happening? But he's a stickler for detail, and temperature is an obfuscation.
- fauxpause_ 3y agoI’m getting pretty titled at the number of people who are ignoring everything I’m posting and claiming temperature is some unknowable thing because Knuth does not know what it is. Look at my link. This is not a concept specific to them. It’s a single term in the softmax selection. There is no reason to assume that OpenAI has changed the definition of this term.
