It's not just cutting. The answers were obtained by taking still photos and inputting them into the model together with detailed text instructions explaining the context and the task to the model, giving some examples first and using c

The need for responsive design. In 1990 you could make a pixel perfect design, that looked great on the 640 x 480 display that everyone used for everything. Today your application (i.e. your website) needs to look good on phones, tablets, l

> While per-token inference costs for fine-tuned GPT-3.5 is 10x more expensive than GPT-3.5 it is still 10x cheaper than GPT-4! Not quite accurate; finetuned 3.5 is only 4x cheaper than GPT-4. Cost per million output tokens from https:&

His comments more broadly make no sense to me. “Over time, the quality of the applicant pool increased to the point where we really didn’t have [give legacies a boost]” - how does that work? If the applicant pool gets better, then if anythi

There’s also the stage where the court decides whether to take on a case which requires only 4 justices to vote for it, and we don’t know what happened at conference, eg how forcefully Alito was arguing. Thus, a 7-1 majority does not make a

I would recommend using the lwarp package for turning large latex documents into HTML. Pretty much all other converters attempt to parse the tex files, which is an almost hopeless task. Lwarp has a different strategy: it redefines all macro

In case there is no Condorcet winner, there is actually a more principled way to randomize over alternatives than just choosing each with the same probability, known as maximal lotteries (e.g., https://pub.dss.in.tum.de/bran

It sounds like Danes over 50 can get a free vaccine, and those under are prohibited from getting one. Why can't we have a middle ground where young people can get a vaccine if they really want to (and e.g. pay for it themselves)? This

A4 paper is precisely 210x297mm (according to the standard), so the aspect ratio deviates from 1:sqrt(2) a little. Following that aspect ratio, the size would be 210x296.985..mm, so the rounding is really very slight.

Apparently this comes in a package with a constitutional amendment that enshrines marriage as exclusively opposite-sex, which will make legalising same-sex marriage harder down the road. https://twitter.com/kixes/status

LPL makes few videos with locks where he can't do anything. To me it's not a red flag but more likely a signal that he hasn't found an exploit (yet).

Looks like in 2019 there were 200-250 million airplane trips starting or ending in Germany. So maybe the surprise is how little average people travel rather than how little they rail.

That seems wrong. New high speed lines are being built and have recently opened (e.g. Berlin-Munich, soon Stuttgart-Ulm). The number of passengers using high speed trains (ICEs) is steadily increasing: from 75 million trips in 2009 to 99 mi
