To me I guess it suggests that these models are not using the correct approach. We keep finding new types of tasks the models are bad at, then the next model fixes those issues because those specific tasks are added to the training set. But

Another model I've seen for copyright is that you declare a "buyout price" for the copyright, the price at which you will release the work into the public domain. You pay 1% of that price every year as a renewal fee, with a 1

I work in Arizona, and some of our software calls APIs on a server hosted in California. The California server expects timestamps in requests to be in Pacific time, with no timezone in the timestamp, and expects them to conform to daylight

We have an integration at work that sends copies of the same message to two different servers running the same software, and one requires text/xml and the other requires application/xml.

It's a reference to an old 4chan post I believe. "I accidentally a coca cola bottle" "accidentally what?" "a coca cola bottle"

Language is only one projection of reality into fewer dimensions, and there's a lot it can't capture. Similar to how a photograph or painting has to flatten 3D space into a 2D representation, so a lot is lost. I think trying to

The existence of multiple dashes, hyphens, etc. in English typography should be considered a bug, not a feature. Modern typesetting should standardize on a single glyph instead of perpetuating this nonsense, and it should be hyphen-minus be

The "Zones of Thought" series explored this. It was well-understood that societies could easily collapse and would need to start over from scratch repeatedly, particularly in the slow zones of the galaxy where advanced AI and FTL

Yeah, I've seen stuff like that in my role as a system integrator. We've built all these automated processes for transforming and moving data from system A to system B, but occasionally we learn about other teams who are using exc

1. There shouldn't be landlords. 2. Copyright shouldn't exist at all, but until it's abolished I am not opposed to a system where revenue is shared with the developers of any libraries you use. Although I think such a system

For around a decade Arizona had license plates in the format AAA0000 that were being distributed in order, but some time before they finished the ones starting with C they switched to another system. That system had 7 alphanumeric character

If the publishers are continuing to make money off selling the work, why shouldn't the people who actually made it get their share?

A VCR is a very poor analogy; a VCR doesn't already have all the copyrighted data encoded into it when you acquire it. A set of model weights does .

Itch does support the headers for SharedArrayBuffer, but it causes problems if you want to have both a web player and a downloadable version of the game. It was recently fixed for Chrome, but in Firefox trying to download a game from a page

The fact that it's wireless is the scariest part to me. What if it runs out of battery? What if it desyncs?

That's true but I think you're overestimating how careful people will be in their curation. There are tons of LLM-powered bots on twitter and reddit already, and no one is bothering to delete the output. Also, the curation process

It's not the most useful outcome for the end user, but it's the perfect outcome from the perspective of the learning algorithm. All these things care about is minimizing their loss function, where loss is deviation from the traini

The goal of an LLM, before RLHF, is to accurately predict what token comes next. It cannot do better than that. The perfect outcome is text identical to the training set. Let's say your LLM can generate text with the same quality as th
