Seems like chain of thought.. except instead of giving the llm an explicit set of instructions and having the llm step through a series of problems, you give it a simple instruction and it hallucinates an analogous series of steps that are statistically relevant.
Could be interesting. Some of the best innovations in human history were basically highdeas cooked up in the shower by associating a hard problem with something else.
Are you the same user who got some flak for posting the abstract of a paper without quotations recently? Keep on truckin'.
- amilios 3y agoThe abstract of a paper without quotations? No, I don't think so. What do you mean exactly? Someone posted the abstract as a text post directly?
- bpiche 3y agoI was mistaken, it was not you, but it did happen recently. My apologies. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37816614 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37816614
- amilios 3y agoAh I see. Yeah the criticism seems fair, gotta at least prepend "Abstract:" or something haha.
- swatcoder 3y agoEven with the prefix, it’s not really HN etiquette to post comments that are entirely or predominantly pasted. And I’m happy about that. Even here, you’re “Abstract:” comment was just a wall of text that would have been easier to read on the other end of that URL and with little less convenience. There’s just no need for it to be pasted in as a comment as well, unless you had something substantial to add alongside it.
- amilios 3y agoOK, thanks for letting me know! It's a bit tricky to upload ArXiv links, I have a sense that not a lot of people will actually click through to read the paper or that some people just won't bother to click an ArXiv link at all, so I think that was my reasoning for sticking the abstract in the comments. but you're right that it's a bit hard to read. thanks!
- Philpax 3y agoI wouldn’t generalise your preferences to HN etiquette. I personally like having some context in the comments as I often check the comments before the link - that allows me to see what the community thinks of the content before I check it out for myself.
- swatcoder 3y agoI’m with you in reading comments first, but I look for comments there, not uncommented pastes.
