Imagine a camera that only takes pictures one pixel wide. Now make it take a picture, for example, 60 times a second and append every pixel-wide image together in order. This is what's happening here, it's a bunch of one pixel wid

As a simple example off the top of my head, if the first string ends in an orphaned emoji modifier and the second one starts with a modifiable emoji, you're already going to have trouble. It's only downhill from there with more ex

What looks off the most is the fact that the blinkers under the bender aren't even remotely close to looking similar. The rest of the car could pass as a restomod, but the fact that so many things are asymmetrical between the two sides

LLMs aren't only about knowing answers to questions, it's also understanding the question to begin with that's tricky. What questions you ask combined with what followup questions you asked is a very valuable dataset, because

Both OpenAI and Claude average roughly one flagship release a year, and these are some of the best funded companies in the space. The bigger your model, the more expensive it is to train, so you want to do it as rarely as reasonably possibl

Also known as don't rock the boat. There are many ways to play the corporate game, if you're there just to pick up a paycheck, then you do you and all the more power to you. However, that doesn't mean it's the only way t

Data mining doesn't mean the model is instantly updated, that would be prohibitively expensive at scale. It's way easier to batch your data together with a bunch of other data and use it later on. That doesn't even mean it wi

This is a considerably worse solution with unknown knock-on effects, especially when compared to a well understood solution of making a few stations handle more capacity.

More and more people are moving out of smaller cities every year in favor of London. Building new cities that no one wants to live in does not solve the problem, no matter the cost. Look at Italy for a good example, there are places where t

Rounded corners are not simply an aesthetic design choice, they make the device more durable as there's less of a pinch point when you drop, snag or mishandle the device.

Buying stolen goods does not mean they're yours because the seller never had any ownership to begin with. The same applies here, just because there's an extra step in the middle doesn't mean that you have any rights to the da

I'm well aware of this, but this is different from what we're discussing here. While Holters measure continuously, they don't give you continuous feedback. The general procedure is that the data is either gathered and downloa

Strong agree, Claude is very quick to forget things like "don't do this", "never do this" or things it tried that were wrong. It will happily keep looping even in very short conversations, completely defeating the p

Unlike language models, children (eventually) learn from their mistakes. Language models happily step into the same bucket an uncountable number of times.

Unless you plan to sit at your desk all day and do nothing but press the button on your monitor, it isn't. These are two very different things.

Unless I'm missing something, this doesn't pass the sniff test. If a 51% attack was successful, every other miner could easily spot this and would stop mining. The fact that this has not happened is more trustworthy than a random

I speak most of the languages you listed on a conversational level, but sure, it's easier to cry about astroturfing than consider that you might be wrong.

The two are not interchangeable though, as shown in the article. If someone asks you "Are you going to win?", you could say "I'll try to", but not "I'll try and".

Russia really isn't that similar to the rest of the Eastern Bloc. Even in language, the other Slavic languages are pretty close to one another, whereas Russian is pretty different. Same for culture etc. Russia is trying very hard to cr

This is akin to asking if someone can tell an German name from a French name. Sure, there are some shared ones, but for most intents and purposes locals can easily tell the two apart.

This might be true of Ukraine, yet you see this across all of the Eastern Bloc, where the names are not similar, not just Ukraine.
