Here's a quote from the complaint: > Apple’s smartwatch—Apple Watch—is only compatible with the iPhone. So, if Apple can steer a user towards buying an Apple Watch, it becomes more costly for that user to purchase a different kind o

For folks who don't have time to read a 90 page document, the case rests on specific claims, not just the general claim that iPhone is a monopoly because it's so big. Here are those claims: 1. "Super Apps" Apple has rest

I think it's a direct translation of the French phrase "mixité sociale" mentioned in the article, I bet the connotations are slightly different in English than in French.

Ok, but let's acknowledge the difference between no data (depicted as no colored cell in the map) and data which reports high interference (depicted as a red cell). In remote western Aus we see a few red cells to the west of a large ar

Not the OP, but the thing that springs to mind is to make it resilient to DOS attack and similar. As you say, it didn't crash after the HN spike, but it seems likely that a motivated attacker would not have trouble bringing it down. Al

This page has some great stuff in it. Today I think about commercial airlines being so _optimized_ for efficiency in everything, I just can't imagine a US airline flying a Concorde overland at subsonic speeds. Assuming they flew Mach 0

Well put. Overall this paper feels very Gödel Incompleteness for LLMs which is _interesting_ and perhaps even valuable to somebody, but because it attaches itself to this hot query 'hallucination', I think some people are finding

Yes, I think you're right. I think one way to phrase the authors' argument is: * There is a class of problems which are harder than polynomial time complexity to solve, but are not np-complete * LLMs will generate an "answer&

The core argument in this paper it seems to me from scanning it is that because P != NP therefore LLMs will hallucinate answers to NP-complete problems. I think this is a clever point and an interesting philosophical question (about math, c

The cool thing about this paper is, actually it is a (relatively) cheap way to solve this particular problem (LLM on 2048k window), because they are using pre-trained models like LLaMA2 and Mistral and extending them to 2048k windows using

Do the bytes represent natural language text, or something else? If they do represent text, then it is not so weird to me.

One thing you may have overlooked - table 5, the proof-pile table, only goes up to a 262k evaluation window (meaning - although the model has an extended context window of 2048k according to the method proposed, they are not feeding in that

Doesn't this seem like a useful bias to have?

The concept of "decision meetings" is a really tricky one to master. I think: Good: Put a meeting on a calendar in the future in order to force all discussion and investigation to happen before that meeting and keep things moving.

Fair point about recency. Actually my point is that to specifically isolate costs that are from AI is a lot of work at a company of this scale. These companies are absolutely accountable for their overall energy usage and externalities!

Yes, I ultimately I guess it does not hurt anything to have this article in circulation even if I have some critiques, better to discuss the elephant in the room.

As I read this article I felt myself being extremely critical of it. Part of this may be that I'm enamored with AI and so I feel defensive about it, but I can't help the feeling that this article needed more work. For example: &gt

If you believe that egress prices are fake and pure profit, I encourage you (or someone else reading this with the same belief) to try running your own independent web hosting service ;) I think what you will discover is that network bandwi

Really cool! I assume you built this to test out different AIs for the game, is that right? What other uses does it have?

I agree, and I would also put forward that most people don't understand what peering is or how it works. When people (usually developers who are not network engineers and have not worked at that level of the stack) talk about "egr

The article explains that they are pre-vetting renters and handling showings and such. They add value for the landlord, not for you. But, they are also probably extracting the maximum amount of blood from you, because they can...

Does it have any bearing on the case, though? I agree but it may make no difference

I agree, factually, with almost all the content of this article, although I find its tone a little grating. There's a joke online - "nobody speaks more confidently than a 15 year old who has smoked weed twice explaining how to smo

I think this is a cynical and fatalistic view which considers only some selective viewpoints. I think you'll find that real people are far less materialistic and shallow than you assume, and choose not to have large families for many r

Would the output with the same conditional probability not also be the most likely in a conventional sense? I'm not understanding the distinction, but I'm not an expert so this might be a subtlety I just don't grasp

I don't mean to imply that creativity is something that can be quantified objectively (used as the objective function, even), but it is widely understood that LLMs can produce varied output and be given particular biases or personaliti

by Fripplebubby 3y ago
LLMs will predict the most likely output to the prompt input - does this mean that a hypothetical perfect LLM would produce the most generic and widely-acceptable response to any input, the "lowest common denominator" output? The
