How on earth are you going to move the needle on "honesty or effort put forth by an LLM" at the logit-choosing stage, though? To me that's like inferring that you can keep a GPS system from choosing suboptimal cross-country

My understanding is that the threshold people mean are that the vampire kids would be fired for not having 1/4 million spend in tokens per quarter. EG: That the entire conversation is juggled by the token selling shills, per usual.

Working with Windows 3.11 isn't even the problem there though, that is only a symptom. You could get one of the original authors of 3.11 in there and all they would get told by Siemens would be "no, you can't touch anything.

I would be happier if it really could search and pick every unicode character. I would love to be able to nab "not equals", "approximately equals", "supsercript 2", etc.

I suppose you'd like to replace it with Email since that doesn't have any spam, hmm?

I am constantly amazed how few people understand that preventing spam is below the last thing the FCC is actually interested in. First of all, the decision makers at the FCC profit from directly from spam, Christ. Secondly, the indirect val

Well I for one am always in favor of arbitrary humans having better ways to voluntarily attenuate their own fertility, full stop. We may have a depopulation shock problem on our hands at the moment, but trying to encourage more accidental b

If the purpose of a system is what it does, then what does the system of "not going to school" do? If schooling and learning/education are truly mutually exclusive then who is the most learned and educated person you can poin

Part of the goal there is not only "relatability" (demonstrating how this could be useful in reality) but "applicability" (demonstrating HOW to distill a math problem out of some potentially messy real world anecdote). I

To me that all sounds lovely and evocative, hmm. Maybe an inspiration for some of the vibe in the game Little Inferno?

This makes me think that "accent/dialect reviewer" sounds like a rich option for something to train neural networks to do. :)
