Yeah, I guess "creative writing" in this case is a shortcut for essentially saying they aren't that good at conforming to user-specified constraints. They can generate "creative" texts but can't necessarily con

Not necessarily. Where do you think the overlap is between these two tasks?

Even if UBI is funded by taxation, rather than deficit spending, isn't it possible that demand will increase for some products (e.g. basic necessities that UBI recipients will suddenly be able to spend more on), causing inflationary pr

What if everyone raises prices simultaneously proportional to the UBI?

by amilios 1y ago
I mean is it determined by money creation, or just influenced by/one of the factors? If business perceive people generally having more spending money, won't they raise prices accordingly?

How is causality figured out here? How do we know it's not just a "standard" market downturn/downsizing to compensate for previous overhiring etc.?

I see incremental improvements in almost all domains?

Whats the rebuttal to UBI just causing massive inflation again?

by amilios 1y ago
Is it? That's not super obvious from the results they're showing.

I believe the deflection is the high-level explanation. Things like the Bernoulli effect and the air on the top of the airfoil travelling faster (it does -- far faster than the equal transit time theory implies actually), are the "inst

This is the point everyone mostly misses -- internally inside the model, there is no difference between generating something that happens to correspond to the truth, and a "lie". It's all the same statistical generation, and

Sometimes you need to just pump out an MVP and start iterating. AI can exponentially speed this up in my experience.

There needs to be a way to opt out of all AI features in apps, yesterday. Or even better: opting out of all algorithmic/recommendation/infinite feed content. I think it's time we acknowledge that it is a net negative on most

but not GDP per capita in purchasing power, in that the US is still far ahead. China's GDP PPP is greater, but with 4 times the population.

Can you elaborate on this? My understanding is that evolution (to be precise, we're presumably referring to natural selection) has been proven again and again and that there is a clear scientific consensus around it, and I'm not f

So here's a modern Greek perspective to add to the choir. In modern Greek zero is indeed plural, you would say 0 βαθμοί for example to say 0 degrees. However , in contrast to English: 1.5 books ενάμιση βιβλίο -- singular! You are func

Maybe I'm too cynical, but too many people in power directly benefit fom enshittification for anything about it to change. Even just the problem of fixing the housing market while the majority of politicians own several properties is a

Very exciting, although it was a bit disappointing to see that they're hitting just llama1 7b performance by quantizing llama3. but i'm sure the performance gap will close over time!

Unfortunately not, as it captures such a wide spectrum of use cases and scenarios. There are some benchmarks to measure this quality in specific settings, e.g. summarization, but AFAIK nothing general.

One of the main disappointments with Duolingo's recent path for me has been the removal of the forum. It was so useful whenever I was confused by a certain phrase or new concept to just hop directly into the discussion forum page for t

It seems like it's matching PyTorch's API very closely, which is great. Part of me wishes they took it a step further and just made it completely API-compatible, such that code written for PyTorch could run out-of-the-box with MLX

Yes, I believe so.

Yeah that would save disk space! In terms of inference, you'd still need to hold multiple models in memory though, and I don't think we're that close to that (yet) on personal devices. You could imagine a system that dynamica

Loss was still decreasing for the models, there's a sense that we can push the training data much much further than we currently are.

My main gripe is trying to run unsigned programs, and having to go into System Preferences every time to approve the first execution. It definitely feels a little ridiculous.

Reminds me a little bit of PICO-8 conceptually. At first glance I thought it was just a set of premade assets more than an actual game engine, but looking at the API more closely it actually does seem to resemble quite a bit the set of prim

But since there isn't really treatment, I don't even know if I'd want to know personally, in advance, if it's not something I can take any steps to prevent.
