Another good use case for a microservice - if you are going to have to change the compute size for your monolith just to accommodate the new functionality. I had an architect bemoan the suggestion we use a microservice, until he had to begr

The attempts at controlling the narrative feel a lot more unsubtle since Musk took over. I bet dollars to donuts that they are tipping the scale on stoking up tensions on UK users with things like migration and class division. I only follow

Very uncool of Eric! Thank you for the work you've put in over the years.

> Would you really say that the main part of non-determinism in LLM-usage stems from this Yes I would because it causes exponential divergence (P(correct) = (1-e)^n) and doesn't have a widely adopted solution. The major labs have ve

Imagine you are predicting the next token, you have two tokens very close in probability in the distribution, kernel execution is not deterministic because of floating point non-associativity - the token that gets predicted impacts the toke

Do you think sampling is deterministic?

This happened to me last night! I was going to bed and I clicked Update and Shut Down, then I went in to the other room. After a few minutes I could see the blue glow of my Windows background shining on the wall. Glad it is fixed!

Does this kind of thing happen to China + Russia? I don't see news about that much - but to be fair, I am not looking for it.

Added a point about that, thanks.

I think iterating on hypothesis to try uncover the truth is a better use of time than saying everything is too complex and giving up.

Thanks - I don't really take the comments as entirely negative, people want rigour and I agree the point could be made more convincingly. I would love for a proper study of this hypothesis to be done.

Thanks for that, that seems worth adding.

Sorry - that looks terrible on mobile. I added a little 16px margin now - hopefully that is better. Thanks for checking it out!

This point is exceedingly hard to get data on! I thought a good proxy would be the prevelance of people acknowledging it as real, but maybe not. I will try replace this. Thanks for the feedback.

Would you have any examples of convincing arguments to see if I can improve it? Appreciate that extending the date range of data would improve the claims, as would adding more sources - but anything else?

I made this site, and I am not wedded to the idea that smart phones are the only reason these trends started to turn weird. I try to say as much on the site - and while maybe I place a lot of blame on the relationship between the iPhone -&g

This is a fairly negative comment, but putting it out there to see if other people are feeling the same thing If you told the median user of these services to set one of these up I think they would (correctly) look at you like you had two h

They tried it though - remember that if you are ever trying to buy another. There are people at the company who wanted this and got greedy, and are only backtracking now because it negatively impacted them. Don't forgive them, and don&
