Perplexity is measured by testing a language model on a known text. The model's output is a probability for every possible next word/token. The model is highly perplexed if it gave a low probability to the actual next token.

Seriously? Everything on earth's surface is radiating thermal energy into space. In such a massive amount that you'll feel a distinct temperature drop in a cloudless night. If you want to radiate more heat into space (at a global

Not related to privacy, but the main point of blocking is to never host their content. Not listing it, not caching it, not hosting their interactions with your users's posts. It's more than a statement.

Two teaspoons is already one sixth of the WHO recommended daily sugar intake, and that was just the coffee. And WHO claims there are additional health benefits expected if you can do half of what they recommend.

I once thought "bit shuffling" was a special-purpose use-case you'd only ever need to deinterleave RGBA channels or something. Later I wanted to implement a small look-up table (surely something more common) and realized that

Compilers are pretty good at restructuring code. As a programmer you need know some common situations when the compiler would like to reorder your code, but can't. E.g. when you do summation using a for loop, and the compiler is trying

It's sad to live in a society where a new tool that does your work for you, faster, is seen as a problem rather than a opportunity. I'm also a bit puzzled about the proposed solution. If you, say, get 80% of your salary after you

I'd be happy getting just a "segfault" from C. It would be so much better than subtly wrong results from reading uninitialized memory or out-of-bounds access, results that change depending on debug vs optimized build, or when

Asking a token-based LM to generate only tokens that contain the letter "Z" is... well. Like asking someone who prepared a speech to smoothly skip all words with "ei" in them. The LM would basically need to have memorize
