Yes and GPT powers copilot? I'm really straining to understand your point here. Are you implying Llama is the model underneath Copilot?

This is a thread about hallucinations. >ChatGPT craze has wore off for me, because of constant hallucinations when you ask for something slightly more esoterical. And I can't justify paying 20$ for GPT-4 to have more convincing hall

What model, pray tell, do you think Copilot runs on, if not a fine-tuned version of GPT?

Fusion is very unlikely to become a viable energy source in the near-term, but it is something we can use to make helium if we are desperate enough.

Isn’t that just redlining with more steps? Unless your implication is that it’s ok for some people to not have a place to live.

Sure, but the author is implying that rent has grown 3x income and that is simply not true.

It's always amazing to me that people will write these long articles and then do things like compare real median income (adjusted to account for the price of housing) with nominal rent prices. For context, here's nominal rent

https://openai.com/research/deep-double-descent Yeah, the line keeps going down as the model gets bigger. What's your point? That there's a hump in the middle?

by RC_ITR 3y ago
Not to be a downer, but wasn’t one of OpenAI’s earliest discoveries that training small models on huge datasets leads to over-fitting? It’s my understanding that the entire race to ever-more parameters was driven by that.

There’s also an argument to be made that the average scientist is more anxious and in their head than the average human. So the effect of “X thing relaxes Y person, which leads to better outcomes” is woefully understudied/underutilized

If only we already had a solid material that contained that carbon in a way the kept it out of the atmosphere. Maybe a polymer of some sort. Oh wait that’s just “never burnt plastic”. Sorry for the snark. I just am always amazed at how badl

Why? Are you implying that it’s less intensive to collect used plastics from consumers and ship that to burning stations to generate energy vs. pumping natural gas and shipping it in pipelines? The problem with any plastic recycling/bu

by RC_ITR 3y ago
We are in a climate crisis. It literally never is. For some reason, people equate plastic waste with the other problem that literally changes the weather (maybe as a coping mechanism?). Under that framework, it makes sense to burn carbon.

by RC_ITR 3y ago
The problem is that our main problem by a mile is that we burn hydrocarbons to do things like shipping. Switch to any material that’s even incrementally heavier/more energy intensive to make and you’re creating more CO2 which almost

I think too many people got used to crypto’s “well if the software says it…” mortal/legal/ethical code. They assume that traditional finance isn’t a thoughtfully designed system with checks and balances because they were blindly r

Please stop trying to make flamewars happen in a forum specifically moderated to not have them. You have literally everywhere else on the internet to argue left vs right, some people want to have a different style of debate and come here

Please don’t start political flame wars on here for no reason. Your point is not amplified by doing that.

The question you should be asking is if this is actually a shoplifting problem vs. a massive decline in SF’s willingness to shop in person. I sure don’t know anyone who talked about going to the downtown Nordstrom to buy anything. And I don

This comes back to the core problem of crypto though - I agree that transferring skins would be cool or whatever, but distributed consensus does almost nothing to accomplish that. A game developer already has to opt-in to the NFT system a

I also think any “Mechanical Turk but we need over-achieving Ivy League educated 25 year olds to actually do it” tasks are also very well served by consultants. Conducting surveys, combing through massive data, etc.

We also see the styles of our parents as “looking old,” but surprise most people don’t change their style after 30. Men from the past look old because they leave the ring of hair and don’t shave bald. For Gen Z/Alpha, shaved bald is wh

I think my trouble is a lack of consistency. 1) The major powers were not all Western and Democratic (as you admit). 2) Stability is not a sufficient condition. Being a representative of the country that won WWII is. You brought in GDP, I

Again, Taiwan, a much smaller entity was given that power on behalf of China. Everyone agreed China should be a major player, the West just chose a government in exile to represent them. In your argument around GDP and influence, it

China generally feels as though it was 'left out' of the modernization of politics that occurred in the mid-20th Century (and they have a point). For example, [0] The 1958 Convention on the High Seas set the rules around Maritime

Reminds me of the old Vistaprint model of “Free business cards, just pay shipping.” It was so cheap to print the cards (and relatively cheap to ship slowly) that Vistaprint still made money on the “free” cards.
